Fitness Facility Shenanigans

nobody@vox.com(Maggie) — Tue, 27 May 2008 20:23:30 -0400

Dear parent at the gym,

Excuse me! Didn't you see the sign out front - I believe it said "Women"?! So why is your 10 year old son standing in the middle of the locker room gawking at the women changing and coming out of the shower?

It's not like he's under the age of 5 and doesn't know the difference between his unmentionables and mine. He's at least 10 frickin' years old and is WELL AWARE that every woman in the changing room could potentially flash him at any minute during the course of normal locker room behaviors - much to his glee, I'm sure. Not that I'm afraid he might catch a little skin, but it's the principle of the matter.

Oh wait - what's that? You wanted him to see how the swim suit machine works? The one that sucks out the water after you've been in the pool? Oh okay, well then I suppose I'll just have to DECLARE SHENANIGANS.

It's a fitness center, not an amusement park.

kthxbai,
Maggie

Maggie's Bahamas Picture Montage

nobody@vox.com(Maggie) — Tue, 27 May 2008 00:30:09 -0400

Yeah, yeah - you've all seen pictures of beaches, pretty blue water, and cruise ships but you haven't seen anything like this. Er...well, if you're a regular reader then I suppose you probably have as I haven't changed too much ;-)

The Girls
Me, Kat, and Crystal - my boat buddies!
From L to R: first night at our fave Indian bar, cheesy tourists, crazy girls at Atlantis, Captain's dinner night

Maggie's Kissy Face Collection
I don't know how it happened, but as the trip progressed so did the amount of kissy face pictures I decided to generate. I only really noticed after looking at all of them again. Heh - you know you love it!
From L to R: Senor Frogs, towel elephant lovin', Vogue - strike a pose, a ship named Rex

And last but not least...my fave candid shot.
Kat was given a mission to capture a great candid shot of me since I'm generally such a poser. Coincidentally, Crystal caught this one while I was laughing at something Kat said. A joint effort, I think.

Some days I can't help but wonder...

nobody@vox.com(Maggie) — Thu, 22 May 2008 20:42:20 -0400

...is today going to be the day I eat dog foodies?

Nom nom nom

You know you've either thought about it or done it. It crosses my mind every day that I give Rooney his skin meds in these handy dandy pill pockets. I swear they smell just like beef jerky or bacon or a bag full of nom nom nom goodness.

I went to the Bahamas and all I got was a sunburn and a hangover...sounds perfect, no?

nobody@vox.com(Maggie) — Tue, 20 May 2008 21:22:31 -0400

Oh hai, peeps! Just back from my three day cruise to the Bahamas!! w00t, w00t. It was the perfect amount of time to be away. I was relaxed and felt perfectly at peace while boozing, sunning, and having an all around good time.

Unfortunately, my friends and I opted for one of us to take all the pictures so she's got the pics and they'll be coming in later. In the meantime, why not a fun countdown? Details and picture montages to come later!

Top 5 memorable Booze Cruise moments
5. Passing out in a comfy bed and sleeping for as long as my body would allow. Since we were cheapskates there was no window so no sun to wake us up. I was truly rested.
4. My first lobster tail evar! Nom nom nom
3. Fun shows and ship activities which included a Vegas style Latin show and taking my turn on the water slide at least 8 times!
2. Great drinks and dancing all night - every night!
1. Spending 3 great days with the girls.

What a fantabulous holiday! :)
