All my bags are packed and I’m ready to………….

Ok Girls.  It’s time to make some big decisions.  This trip has temporarily become the main focus in your life.  It is months away and now is the time to start paving your road.  Tell your family, tell you boss, tell your kids. Be dramatic.  Threaten bodily harm and anything else you can think of to get this deal sealed.  If money is a factor, GET CREATIVE.  Walmart has some really cute piggy banks or grab an old water bottle from work and start filling it. Wash cars or ask for an early Christmas gift if you have to.   Just “GET ER DONE”.   

Important info to go over:

1.  Please follow me on my new blog-just click the button that says follow and follow the directions.  You may have to sign in to your email account but it is pretty self-explanatory.  If you have any question just email me at jonemeli@aol.com  It is very easy to send notifications if you are a follower of my blog.  You may want to bookmark to your favorites toolbar just to remind you to check for updates.   

2.  I will from here on out post a new blog first then I will follow up by posting it to Facebook with the link on the event site and to make matters worse I will send an email to each person that has RSVP'D "WILL ATTEND" or "MAY ATTEND".  For those of you who have replied "WILL NOT ATTEND" I will refrain from harassing you.  However you will see the post on many sites so please if you have a change of heart, win the lottery or a simple change of plans please sign up. NOTICE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BLOG the remark section. Just click and follow the directions if you have something to share with your fellow shipmates. "No cruise punt intended"


3. Please participate in all the polls-Today's poll is all about the timing of the trip.  I want to make sure everyone is on the same page about the dates in hopes of getting a great big turn out. 

4. Most important.  Anyone is invited-friends, sisters, your tennis partner, etc.  This is all about having a fun time.  If you don't like someone you see on the list, well this is your time to learn to like them. I have invited my husband's former wife and my former husband's wife.  Sorry Skoo and Cathy I needed a visual. LOL.  Once I get a general idea of how many, we can decide on the arena.  As it stands so far "warmth" seems to be the trend for our destination as per responses on emails and Facebook.  My first ideas upon starting this venture were quite "Grandiose" but as I thought about it I realized that not everyone (including myself) has deep pockets especially in this economy so I am going to try to keep it simple and as close to the majorities homes.  So world travelers settle down the 2nd Annual Girls Trip will be designed just for you.  Merci Beau coup. Whatever the hell that means!   

Okay-honestly, Blogger has been kicking my butt for the last couple of days so consider this your first blog with many more to come.  Don't be confused if you are already one of my "Seriously" blogger followers.  This is a new blog just for our trip. I am now the proud owner of two blogs-better defined as "I need to get a life".

Disclaimer-I do not care if I have slang, misspellings or the likes.  I went to Captain Shreve and was in the second lowest phase. I also live in South Louisiana where proper language is not accepted.  SO please when you see typos, words that don't exist or NEW AWlins lingo just roll with it.  Call me a dumb ass, laugh or whatever you need to do just don't call it to my attention.  In my mind I am next up for a best seller.
