I cannot stop laughing. I'm glad Jasmin is ok now, but they rolled out the bongos? Only in JA.
Plus, you got a call from King Yellowman!!!!! Oh, how I wish I was there. :o

Oh my goodness, I had that happen to me my third day in...had just finished eating breakfast, had woken up that morning feeling great, but all of a sudden I just felt incredibly dizzy and lightheaded and was sick and almost passed out, but Tekla at Montana's Cafe was very solicitious and helpful, and a nearby taxi driver came by with a bottle of smelling salt! omg, that is the first time I ever had to use smelling salts, but it perked me right up and was helped into a taxi and went to my room and laid down a bit then was fine. I think it was just a case of too much sun the day before and not enough water to keep me hydrated, and it didn't happen again..it was more than a little embarrassing, and have never had anything like that happen to me before...but they were really wonderful to me..not just the smelling salts, they even put a damp cloth on my forehead too..it was everything..
Anyway, I am loving reading all about your adventures, and looking forward to more!
oh yeah, I accidentally called 119 when I was in Negril..my son had called and I just hit the reply on the cell to call back but when it dialed 11 then the area code was 918..so when it went 11 9...instead of finishing, I was connected with emergency! I quickly explained myself and hung up, then dialed the numbers out and was able to connect that way..
OK so i will be back in Negril on the 27th and I am bringing some extra cash just for TicToc kinda like a loan you wont have to pay back, so is that no one will be dissapointed you ran outa party funds!
Tic
Care to publish Yellow's number
Right here on the messageboard
:eek: .... wish I lived closer.......:cool:
Tictoc you really are an inspiration.
I can't party like that at home to say anything of Jamaica.
This year I'm going to try harder.
Maybe if I drink coffee until sunset . . .
This is a name that face game!
I know who they all are but do you?And if you don't know you better get to know!

ME doing a bit of finger dancing for you all :D
Photos above are when Jasmin passed out! She originally passed out at the bar but this was after the staff took her to the V.I.P sofa as she was making the floor look untidy LOL:D Jasmin is cool and after a short while she was up and back to her usual self we shot a few rounds of snooker/pool and they were good games it was always a gamble who would win it was fun then we floated around in the pool chatted some more I made some food and we headed out to Alfreds and then American pie which was a real good dancehall party the DJ was on point it was full free entry and free tequila shot for the laydeez oh don't mind if I do!
I did not want to leave but husband was getting mad and wanted to come back and then called ME boring:p
I am having serious food issues down here I kind of guessed I would before I got here and have absolutely nobody to blame but myself but I am entitled to have a little moan so I shall I have a hotplate here a hotplate is an electric piece of crap with two electric rings that you can TRY to cook on I was TRYING to cook for 6 of us lastnight it took me about 3 hours the rice turned to mash potatoe and got thrown away the chicken was nice and could not even be bothered to wait for the water to boil again to do any pasta or any thing else.I had big plans for the home cooked meal but it all turned to @@@@
You just cannot cook for a family on a hotplate.And I already know this as my holiday last year we were given a hotplate and after 2 days of pain in the ass hotplate I upgraded to half board but upgrading is expensive in Jamaica I just do not have the funds.So basically I am very hungry, the kids are fed but all I have had is fried chicken, jerk chicken, curry chicken, boiled chicken.
I know I said I love chicken and rum but come - on.So now my options are to grocery shop which is sky high prices to begin with and they hardly have any choice here it is chicken chicken or yes you guessed it more chicken.Then once I get all the groceries it lasts only one day because everyone is so hungry they raid the lot so money food budget blown again.Plus then I have to try and cook it on hotplate FFS.HELP ME .
So thats option number one - number two is dine out 4 times a day and starve the remainder 3 weeks of the trip when the food budget runs out.It is pretty much blown now already.
Or option 3 try and keep nagging some random men in the street to cook for me or I liked fattys but that means sending someone in a taxi and it is far away.
And I just cant afford to dine out all day every day for all of us.
I thought we could eat patties in the daytime and dine out in the evening.But by day 2 the kids were sick of patties and they are the only cheap and cheerful thing I know.
So I am not looking forward to todays food escapades.It is really hard work.I miss having a kitchen.I will never Not have a kitchen if I have a low budget as it is making life impossible.I am sick of having a chicken leg for lunch and a chicken breast for dinner and a chicken wing for supper.I am now really craving good Jamaican food that I came here for and cannot wait to see our neice that lives here in a couple of weeks.I am going to go to stay with her for a bit and she always feeds me well and teaches me new meal ideas.I love homemade coleslaw and I have not even seen any yet this trip let alone eat any.I am going to try to find some cheap curry goat in a bit.
Enough of my moaning I have no-one else to blame but myself.I know what my family are like , they like 4 meals per day plus snacks.Everyone was saying oh you will manage with patties daytime and a take out at night thats enough and low cost WRONG not working.
I am gutted I only found fattys on my last day at shields I should have gone there every night. 400j for good homecooked real Jamaican food.
Robin banks has arrived yellowman is due to arrive and fantan mojah is coming to seastar, apart from that no other sightings as yet!
I want to tell you about the Monday nights at Coral seas gardens with the Hiyah grade band.It is a really good show but not many people know about it yet so they really need you all to show up and support the night!
We had a rasta guy with us and he said he really enjoyed it good people good vybz
and it is, A lovely group of people go down there to play some great singers and musicians and quite a few of the Negril favourite singers are there and they are very talented , there is NOTHING happening around here on a Monday so it really is the place to go so makesure you try it and get down there.Robin banks showed up there and sang on monday so did Anthony able and swallow and some other really well known and liked names from Negril.
Give it a try nice night with nice people down there.
Reggae tv station number 90 at The seastar inn CRANK IT!
I love waking up here and pondering life in my hammock listening to the cockerel in the mornings and the tree frogs at night.
While we were out lastnight I saw a shooting star and that was quite special because I do not recall ever seeing one before so next minute another came 5 or 6 in total above Alfreds were shooting across the sky! Even the stars were having a party! We were all staring at the sky it was too cool!
I love my mornings here at the seastar in I went to breakfast barefoot in my pjs looked like crap felt like it prob had dogbreath and straight away I am greeted by my girls (barbara and clarol who work here) who tell me how lovely I look!aww that is sweet always makes me feel nice even if it is a lie LOL
So I love their work ethic.They had some serious tunes playing and barbara was sat there rocking to a tune and clarol was singing and I was putting jam on my toast busting a bit of a move on the quiet! ha it's all good.So I was sat there singing to myself THE ONLY MAN SHE WANT that is a hot dancehall track right now and it is played a lot , so I was sat there singing it then it came on loud on the speakers so me and Clarol was singing to it me still in my pjs haha
THE ONLY MAN SHE WANT so I said which man clarol ? so she said THE ONLY ONE LOL so she carried in 3 bottles of spirits I said ohh yummy my breakfast LOL
They look after me here.They do not ask anything in return they are not rude or unhelpful they are really nice genuine helpful people who are great at their job and always make me laugh and feel good.
Always ready for a laugh and a party here and they can be serious and helpful too like yesterday when Jasmin had her incident.
I don't have the funds to treat them with cash I hope people that do have funds spare treat these ladies well.As soon as I get any funds in my life these are the staff it will be going to.Wish I could treat them.I would like to take them for a fancy night out or something posh dinner limo and party , These are my laydeez!Nice ladies .
I have quite a few video clips I want to share with you all but SOON COME! I am trying to fit everything in , meeting boardies dealing with some personal stuff sorting my kids out attemptingto get to the webcasts and failing miserably and then fitting the concerts in aswell as whatever the kids want to be doing and doing my trip report!Oh and my university work.I also have a lot of assignments for all 3 of my childrens school that have to be completed they are on a tight schedule as they have their final exams once they return.
I sent a drunken email to my tutor the other day asking for an extension on the deadline I am afraid to go back and read it and the response:D
I am declaring a state of emergency I thought I would have a change from just rum lastnight so finished the night of with tequila hmm not sure my brain enjoyed that this morning! But as soon as I went for breakfast the party tunes was on ready to start all over again.I am hungry:(
I fkin hate hotplates I hate them I am going to try again with it see what happens I think I just hate electric cooking things I used to have an electric cooker and everything tasted baked and burnt yak eww.
"You just cannot cook for a family on a hotplate."
I have a 2 burner gas cook-top (Not a hotplate per se, but close enough) plus an additional 1 burner hot plate (which I've yet to break out) and I've been cooking for 4 or more for three weeks.
Gas "cook top" - THAT'S what you want. See if maybe Chris has one there? Or go price one out at Foundation Imports in town - as I recall they are not all that spendy.
Don't give up..it can be done!
PS: If you are trying to suss out the best food prices, in my opinion Value Master is a tad cheaper than HiLo. Also,. chicken this year has gotten mad expensive! Check the veg ladies up the lane from Paymaster downtown or better yet, check with Chris or Francine to see when their veg truck comes and shop from there. I only spend MAYBE 2000JMD per week on fresh fruit and veg.
Rice, beans and veg - very inexpensive meal that no matter what you do you will have leftovers. I'm going to go make dinner right now - vegetarian chili. Yum!
I can only imagine the food crisis! My kids would never make it...they would drive me nuts wanting chicken nuggets and mac and cheese! I know I won't be there until the 29th but is there anything I can bring down from the states that would help? Well something that would fit in my luggage at least? Snacks for the kids like granola bars or mac and cheese? When I stayed for a few months I brought a LOT of pasta, as it was easy to cook on the hot plate. Then I would get cheese and bread from the store and make grilled cheese sandwiches also.
So besides the Popcaan song, what else is hot there now???? Inquiring minds would like to know!
Tic don't give up on the cooking! When I stayed at Seastar I cooked all kinds of food--fish, chicken, rice n peas, omlettes and eggs, veggie dishes like sauteed cabbage carrots onions thyme and tomatoes, etc. Made chicken salad for sandwiches and soup with leftover chicken. Made potato salad and panfried potatoes breakfast-style with peppers and onions. Made toast also had cheese and coco bread with tomatoes for lunch and snacks. And yes, I made coleslaw:) I do one huge shopping on the way to Negril from the airport for pantry supplies and then supplemented with the veggie truck, small shops and the fish stall at the craft market. The last few trips I have done the same thing--I only ate out a couple of times and made my own drinks. Of course it is easier at NBCC with a full stove and oven--and electric burners suck--but that said ya gotta work with what you've got.
I know it must be a challenge with kids--I was only cooking for two when I was at Seastar, but we always made enough for leftovers for the next day so we were making enough for four or five. Find out where on the west end the locals get food and try those spots for when you need something cooked for you. It can be done, have heart and get creative. And yeah, you will have to go grocery shopping to stock up. I brought a bunch of great Jamaican recipes with me--so I was able to eat homecooked JA food. And it helped that my boyfriend at the time was an excellent cook and shared the responsibility.
Thanks for all your reporting and photos--I have been throughly enjoying following along.
Tic, when you are cooking on elec. just turn the heat up to HIGH to start & then turn it down to Med. when it gets hot....continue on med or med-low....don't feel bad, my hubby always burns the bottom of the pot on the elec. stove too.....it takes some getting used to...carry on...
Tic, loving reading about your adventures. Seastar has some great food, but if you want to try another place and you said you were having a hankering for some Jamaican dishes, head to Sips and Bites just around the corner from Rockhouse, they have some really good food CHEAP!
I know what you mean about stuff being expensive in Jamaica though, I did some 'window shopping' at both grocery stores downtown along with just about every likkle store on the West End I walked past, and yah, things cost!
Just think what it costs to LIVE here....especially for Jamaicans making minimum wage....
Cheapest grocery store in Negril right now is Quality Trade to me... (price went up recently everywhere though...) Kraft Brand Mac and Cheese is around 300JM or up there... Lasco jamaican brand mac and cheese is 79JM. Some so cheap but some so expensive. They sell electric 2 bunners for around 3000JM.
If you are looking for cheap lunch box restaurant, try "Mrs. Bucks" on Vesders Plaza(wifi plaza). Lunch box starts from 280JM. This is local place but I see tourists pick up some lunch sometimes. They have more than chicken!! You have to go early time to get more variety of menu. When they finish, they don't have it till next time. Also Mrs. Bucks will deliver to your place with extra 50-100JM. But don't know how far from her restaurant to your hotel. Bike taxi usually carry them for you. Beach RD was extra 100JM to deliver to Fun holiday In last time.
You can also go to Tasty Pattie but order Roti for 150 for vigi and 200 for shrimp. Other cheap lunch box restaurant is around my area but you might not want to visit lol
Good luck!
I'm thinkin you really learning more than a few things on this visit, Tic Toc, nah tru?
You can grab a few bread slices from breakfast, peanut butter, jam, cream cheese - make sandwiches. Tastee cheese, tuna, salmon, canned meats at the store - grilled cheese. Ask any of the staff at Seastar when the produce truck delivers - I usually buy right off the truck - fruits, vegetables. I've seen guys coming in selling fish.
Tons of options for cheap eats in the neighborhood. Have you gone to the community across the road from the main gate? I know there are little
shops over there. Not sure if there are cook shops though - ask at Seastar
You still have a long time left on the island - you CAN do this!!
(the best coleslaw I have ever had was at Chicken Lavish)
Tawnee
Tic, what about cold lunches? Get a loaf of bread and start with peanut butter and jelly/jam sandwiches? With a loaf of bread, you can do a lot....grilled cheese sandwiches, lunchmeat sandwiches, PBJ, chicken salad, egg salad, egg and cheese, TOAST, Cinnamon Toast, French Toast. I got through my first year of university with a single burner hotplate and an immersion heater instead of a proper kettle, so I KNOW it can be done! Bread, cheese, peanut butter, bologna, eggs and butter should be in your larder for certain! Get the cheapo Mac and Cheese and add some hot dogs. What about spaghetti with tomato sauce? That's an easy one pot dish...try adding a stick of butter and package of cream cheese to hot spaghetti noodles....poor man's fettuccine alfredo....
Why not put eggs on the menu for breakfast? Omelets one day, scrambled eggs and meat the next, poached on toast the next, hobo skillet the next...you get the idea....eggs are cheapo protein and filling.
Sandwiches for lunch for certain!
Pasta, Pasta, Pasta for dinner! Chicken and dumplings is simple and delish!
Come on BOGO queen of the West Indies, hitch up your bloomers and get to it! No crying in your Red Stripe!!
If worst comes to bear, rice and beans with fried eggs on top will get you through...
Thank you everyone for your suggestions they are all noted and I will try that cooked food negrilmom for 280j wow that sounds good
Rastagirl777 you spend 2000j per week on veg?
WOW
I am spending at least that PER MEAL
for the family some meals are costing me 4000j at least and we are eating 4 times per day my money will run out!I do not have a toaster rr I am having eggs on bread this morning my food situation is getting dire LOL oh well who cares I can eat when I get home and I need to lose the big belly woman name anyway ha ha
I have to say that yesterday was pencilled in my diary (my head) as jetlag day I definately needed a rest so I lay on my bed and thought I would tune in to a webcast as I really have not spent nearly as much time as I would have liked or I had planned with Rob and Lisa on the webcasts.I am going to make more time for the casts in the next 2 weeks for sure.
So I tuned in just sat here hair all frizzy make up not done in my one dollar store promotions dress and people were asking why was I not down there on the one love bus so I asked myself "why am i not down there"?
So I jumped in a taxi and met the bus I had one drink which tom bought for me thanks tom he is a nice guy and he is NOT a party pooper because he already told me in advance that he does not do nightime activities ! So thats okay.
So I finished my first drink , I arrived pretty much near the end of the webcast and we headed to the next bar and I was stood there chatting met quite a few boardies Johio and his wife HEY! and hettie and her partner and there was quite a few others you know what I am like with names I forget everyone unless they keep telling me who they are.
Tom h was there and midiri.
So we order our drink only my second one and then we hear WHOOMPH BOOM I thought a stool had fell over or a bottle had smashed or something so I turned around and...
OMG
OMG
OMG
BOARDIE DOWN BOARDIE DOWN
Someone call 911 119 whatever the hell the number BOARDIE DOWN BOARDIE DOWN OMG OMG not again
WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING
So I am doing my little act of running around begging for an ambulance I am beginning to wonder if there is actually an ambulance LOL because no-one ever rings one when I get hysterical running around asking for one
So Rob tells me if I call for ambulances I have to pay unless I have had word that someone else is paying
sooooo unfortunately as I have no budget I do not think I can call an ambulance for you! I think we need a boardie just incase ambulance fund and I definately need to learn the number
So at first I thought it was Tomh and felt hysterical OMG get tomh to the hospital but it was not him I would have carried tom there if I had to.
Tom and a few others had actually popped across the street to sexy rexys
The boardie was having his chest rubbed he looked dead I was freaking
NO-ONE PHONES ambulances here
Let me tell you if you are going to divuldge in any extra cirricular activities be it rum in too much sun, smoke, cakes whatever then know that you are pretty much responsible for yourself and I have not seen an ambulance yet or heard of anyone phoning one so please please be careful boardies and note to females wear shorts under your dress LOL because when you go BOOM WHOOMPH on the floor they raise your legs fast boy HA HA it could be a full moon LOL
I was starting to get paranoid now because as soon as I hit a bar I hear whoomph and a boardie goes down then I do my call an ambulance routine and no-one phones one hope I do not see it again.So it was game over, the boardie finally came round lost consiousness twice he was thrown in the back of the bus bob marley track was playing he was alive he gave us a wave LOL
Everything was irie apparently LOL I was scared crapless.
Stop doing this boardies I can't take any more!
People have asked me have I seen any drama or trouble how safe do I think Negril is ,
Well my answer is it is not Jamaicans that we have to be scared of it is the TOURISTS Doing the whoomph there it is thang!
That is what you gotta be scared of.
So party was over but not just yet because I thought aww that sucks It is not fair so there was me lembert driver of the bus and another couple they wanted to eat at hungry lion so we went there and I was shown by the owner and lembert the little V.I.P Looking lounge downstairs it is really cute and nice, you would never know it is there unless you were shown.It is absolutely perfect for private parties, very comfortable all red velvety sofas and big cushions a little stage very private, nice low lighting
I said us boardies would be definately returning there for our own little party , the food looked really good too and at a reasonable cost.I have heard of hungry lion and drove past many times but had never been inside and I really liked it, it was cute we all have to go there it was a nice little suprise find.So I head back to seastar thinking perhaps I will go to roots bamboo perhaps not.It was jasmin boardies last night but had not spoken to her since morning and we made no plans so I was not sure what was happening but Jasmin has been my number one party girl she even did the WHOOMPH there it is thang and still came out on tequila until 4am same day ! Thats my girl LOL
So I was looking at seastar bar for yetta, a boardie who said she was coming down.I found her and hubby and a few others then stephen west comes in with his guitar then francine pulled out a drum and the tourist board strolled in and a couple of other guys had guitars and chris' friend was here he likes fun so an impromptu unplanned party started woieeeeee
Seastar is always fun even when you don't know it is going to happen.I was still rocking my one dollar dress how embarassing.But I did not know all this fun was going to happen today.I was just laying on my bed initially minding my own biz chilling then Whoomp there it is party time hit me ha ha unexpectedly.
So called a taxi and headed to roots bamboo and who is at the bar waiting yay Jasmin.I kne she was staying close by and we know the script I thought if she is out she will be there if not I will knock at the hotel.So great minds think alike , she was already there .Party girl number 1 yay!
Then we ran in to cindy and robin banks and a few other ladies.
Oh and the biartchin thing well I have now seen it is not just the females OMG the men are at it too!
I totally understand now why Rob may seem a little off hand with some people at times and I believe it is because he has lived here for so long and seen so much drama and bs that you just have to get strong and be able to deal with things.
I don't get why people wanna be mean but there you have it.So the men are jumping on the bandwagon too!I think they mostly argue over gigs though getting performances at places.I guess times are very tough down here.
So of course when Roots finished are we going home yet ?are we hell!
A rooftop mi seh!
So we headed to rooftop been meaning to go for a while and it was very nice, the dj from American pie was there but it was his friends that were actually playing and they were nowhere near as good as he was.The music was okay but nowhere near as good as American pie.
So Jasmin has left me now and its very sad I hope to see her again down here soon she was fun a really nice lady.
Guess who called me again lastnight?
YELLOWMAN
The man is so down to earth and nice he was calling me especially to say that he would not be performing this week as the guys at bourbon beach had not sorted the gig out but yellowman said I could go up to Kingston for the day with the fam to see him.
I said I did not know if I would and he said he would try to get to Negril to see us.I hope he does he is very genuine man.Who else would phone a fan just to tell them that?
One in a zillion and that is he.
He did not have to do that it was very nice of him.
We had a guest about a year & a half ago that passed out cold at our local bar...one minute she was sitting & having fun, the next minute she was down laying on the top of the boat she had been sitting on....I ended up flinging drops of water on her face to revive her....it actually took a minute or two for her to come to. She had been traveling all day that day, arrived, smoked two spliffs & drank a few rum drinks....that will do it folks!! If you ever get too high, the best thing to do is drink very sweet coffee or orange juice to get your blood sugar leveled out...
tic toc, you can't be that bad off with money . . . you get around pretty good, cab here, cab there, drink here, food there, so, my question: if you are so broke for food money, why not stay at home with your family? . . . don't know about you, but i can't seem to find ANY freebies in negril . . .
Depends who you hang with Jitterbug not everyone is broke in Negril and not everyone wants something from you depends how you move and who with I guess?
Bible says ask and thou shall recieve
So maybe just ask!
Let it be known what you want and maybe someone will give it to you I don't know LOL
The people I meet just seem to know what I want and offer without me asking.I am quite easy to please though and cheap to keep! I am not high maintenance ,rum and fun and I am happy.I also try to help people who I believe need it I have barely any money but if I see someone that needs it which happens quite often and I don't mean the players then I will treat them to lunch and go without mine or buy them a couple of drinks and me have less just for that day if it brightens up their day a bit that makes me happy , makes them happy so everyone is happy so obviously then I will need free rum ha ha it always works out somehow.When you give what you have away to those that really need it I believe we get provided for.I am not going to preach or talk about karma in depth but I have nothing yet I get everything and I believe if you give your stuff away crazy as it may sound then at some point you get provided for which always happens in my case.It is never by the person you help or rarely because obviously they don't have something to give but then someone will come along when you dont expect it and provide something back.It's nice and people should look out for each other.
Swap my fantastic nights out to sit in and eat did you say?When I go out most of my family if not all are fast asleep so me sitting in and eating does just not sound fun to me , so much fun is out there to be had and my favourite drink is overproof rum and as the rum factories are here it is the local drink and very low cost .Some places I go to you can buy rum by the quarter bottle for next to nothing and sometimes if I know the club or hotel owner they will just bring me some rum thats what friends do isn't it?
I spend money with them sometimes and sometimes they give me free stuff works out nice :)
My taxis - most of them have been very cheap as I travel mostly by route cabs which are very cheap about 100/150 j per trip so very economical.I now have a night time driver who seems to enjoy partying as much as me as he stays with us now and he is a nice guy and does not want paying to stay or anything he just hangs out.
Oh and when I say I am broke for food I mean I - as in me myself and I my kids have everything they need.But they are blowing their food budget and eating mine out too! Mums reading this you know how it goes the kids get stuff the mums go without so I don't mind yes I could stay in and eat (If I could find anything I wanted) but I sit in and eat at home locked up bored just eating so I have spent some of my food money on rum but that does not affect anyone but myself! I think I made a good choice ha ha I have had so much fun.
My husband was moaning a lot so yesterday he tried to make it up to me by cooking guess what he made me?
Yes you guessed it CHICKEN LMAO
didn't have the heart to tell him that I am sick of the sight of it think he made chicken soup aswell bet he offers me that later!
Jitterbug you asked why not stay home with the family
I am with the family from 7am until about 10pm and lots happens but I have just decided to leave all the family stuff out it would take me forever for one thing and I am not going to post all their business all over the internet but I will share some photographs of nice family days out and where we went and things soon.
There are loads of nice people who will give you freebies here! the seastar band gave me a free ride one time Chris' friend another time Rob and lisa another the love bus another time Just hop in and hop out there are some really lovely people here.Some really genuine people who when I show up they have a big smile and say HEY and pull out the JB! and get the dancehall cds out and turn up the tunes! They know what I want it is great here.
I am a bit party mad as at home when I try to get a club for events I can get anything I want regarding the club and my proposals but the second I tell them the genre (reggae and dancehall) they will not sign any contracts they say it attracts the wrong crowd and will not let me have a reggae or dancehall event so if the party can't come to me then I fly out to the parties! I could lie and then just play reggae dancehall anyway but that is not very professional and they would probably get police to shut it down so I am so happy to be here where reggae and dancehall is alive and kicking and it lasts for hours and nobody says NOTHING and no party gets shut down.And I can honestly say it DOES NOT attract the wrong crowd, not here in Jamaica at least.
TicToc,
Oh-oh somebody has been drinking the Hater-ade.
Don't let 'em harsh your buzz.
Get your party on.
I don't know you, but since I've been checking this site out you seem like a (one of several) genuinely sweet and kind
person.
Mmmmm...that brownie brings back memeories of "jenny's"
Love it girl!! Keep having fun...
The photos of you and your husband are adorable, especially the one of you two at Alfreds (I think it is). I know what you mean when you have kids you make sure they have, even if it means you do without. An earlier post mentioned you speaking with Chris and Francine regarding food purchases and I think that is a good idea, see if they can advise on what stores/vendors are less expensive than others. Don't forget about your schoolwork! I know what it is like to have to work while on holiday but make time in the day and get it done. The earlier you start the earlier you can finish and enjoy your day :)
Don't think that's Tic's husband, but I could be wrong.....
Tic Toc,
Lovin' the pics and reports.
Donna and I will be at the Travelers party and will be dining.
See ya soon.
Bless...
Ed
