things learned while in St. Lucia... - Cheaper Than Therapy Cheaper Than Therapy

March 10 08

…you CAN lose things in both the ocean

and the pool…

…i could look WAY worse in a bikini after birthing THREE children

…if you put a giant bed outside by the pool, drunk people WILL do the thriller dance on it.

…there is no shame in eating four muffins and a croissant for breakfast…even out of an airplane motion sickness bag (i am ALL class, baby!)

…a white bra under a blue dress = not a good idea

…when it rains…you still brave the pool…

and then you conquer the world in Risk…

…if you mock your husband by the pool…he will attack with this…

what? you can’t see it? how about now?

yes. a fucking hickey.

…and you will take cheesy group shots with the best friends you could ever have. on the best. vacation. ever.

..you can see the rest of the photo set here…
ps…i’d like to thank the girls who kept you entertained while i was away…Chantal, Becca, Beck, Angella, and Casey. Big tongue kisses for you all. MWAH!

Welcome back! Looks like you had a great time! Was the resort itself fabulous? I’m looking for a place for my honeymoon. I’ll have to check out the rest of your Flickr pics later. You missed quite the storm here!

Jealous.
Sounds like you had almost as much fun as all of us being bombarded by snow.
I wasn’t sure if you would actually make it back!

I’m more concerned with the sunburn on your neck than the hickey! (Though it is impressive!)
Comment by Chantal on March 10, 2008

So wait… you got back this weekend?!? That means all this snow is YOUR FAULT since the fates needed to punish you (or something like that).

Thanks a LOT.

Welcome home! Looks like an amazing trip!
Comment by Angella on March 10, 2008
A fun plane ride (pizza and a new BOY friend) and 24 hours later:

Sand has turned to snow.
Water to Ice.
Bikinis to Jackets 🙁
And Thriller to Chiller. (It’s a non-rhyming poem).

No breakfast this morning.
No seats reserved by the pool.
Life returns to normal.
It is so cruel!

Have a great day.
No pressure. NO worries.

PS. Great photographer for some of those shots! Can’t wait for the home slide show over some mudlides.

Classy with a capital C.

Color me jealous! Looks like a great vacation! Welcome back to the boring real world.

Dude. You look hawt! Not only would I look not as great in a bikini, I wouldn’t dare to wear one in the first place.

Looks like you had a fabulous time (I’ll admit I’m a twee bit jealous – but Edmonton is totally as cool as St. Lucia, right?) 🙂

Wow, it looks like you had the best freaking holiday ever… And I think that cheesy group shot in the pool is awesome. Also, GIANT POOL BED! I dreamed about one of those once… I wasn’t doing the thriller dance on it though. I should have.
