Drink of choice

I never drink beer but there is something about the hot sun that brings the drunk out of me. This week I decided to indulge in Miller Chill which has a hint of lime and salt!! Highly recommended. Oh and yes, I am a nursing mom so for those tracking my every move, my drinking is only in moderation.

Tan lines

Since this is my first vacation with 3 kids, I now realize my days of having a perfect tan are OVER!! When I was young and carefree the only thing I had to think about was what books to bring and what bathing suits to pack. My suits had to all have the same lines so my tan would be equal. I had a system for flipping front and back. Fast forward to now...I had to have a suit that covered my folds, flaps and fat and could only find one that worked. The only flipping I will be doing this week is flipping out at R or the kids (never SS). Oh and I must not forget to mention the Baby Bjorn strap marks on my back!!!

Still having a blast.

Sleeping arrangements

Last night SS asked P if he wanted to sleep in her bed and P said, "not tonight but my daddy can sleep with you."

The randomness of it all

When on vacation you like to indulge in random things that you wouldn't even think of at home, at least I do. Anyway, we had a big chunk of Boar's Head sausage. When we opened it, the taste was beyond description, except perhaps the word horrid, or nasty, mmmm, gross.

Anyway, sense the little chunk of nasty was on the overpriced side, we headed out to make the return. I went up to the local market's customer service counter and explained the situation. She did the tried and true sniff test and determimed what we already knew. She flipped over the hunk-a-hunk-a nasty chunk-a to see the brand. When she saw that it was Boar's Head, she laughed and said the rep was at the store at that moment. Not two seconds later, he walked up behind me and she told him the problem. We all got a good laugh out of the randomness of it all. He only goes to the store a couple times per month.

Of course all I could think was blog blog blog. I ran to the car and got my camera and went back to the service desk for a picture op with Jose, the Boar's Head Rep. With a line of annoyed customers, I had the employee take a picture of good old Jose and I. Then I asked her to retake the picture because it was blurry. Then I took a picture of Jose all by himself. Jose gave me a cool pen and keychain. I told him my sister was shopping in the store and would love a pen and keychain too. Score!

Keep in mind while you look at these pics that I was all by myself taking photos with Jose. For some reason it makes it a little more funny!

Please note the returned sausage in my hand.

Why am I even posting this!!!??

Power outage

Just a quick post

I used my iPhone self-timer for this picture. Not bad....and yes Sistah, it was an application I purchased and it was well worth 99 cents.
