that looks like doctor o . . . haven't spotted doc around for a while now. good to see her.
LOL...TT...there's an ambulance here (actually two the other day we drove by)...but we see so many people go "whomp" from either dehydration or overindulgence...that most everyone here knows how to assess and quickly revive...if something else appeared to be wrong...the ambulance would be called!
It was great spending a bit of time with you again last night & yes, I'm officially a party pooper...rarely can do the late night thing!
The guy in black and white top at Alfreds is my husband
I will try and get some Uni work done today and get the children to finish off some of their projects too.
Already dashed away the haterade! I have banned it from Ja LOL
I already e-mailed the PM and told him haterade is OFF the menu! joke
Yesterday I was thinking about getting some Jamaican food so I was going to go in search for some but logged in to the webcast.It was canoe day , now I had planned to have a water only day and some good food but everyone was asking why am I here and not there AGAIN LOL so twisted my arm jumped in a taxi I took my daughters and we went to the canoe.The canoe if they keep the thursday night thing going will be very successful I feel this is becausethe staff are fun and polite and get you in the party mood,The owner is usually on site , the band is good the drinks are good and priced right , I cannot comment on the food as I have not tried it yet I did not see anything I really wanted lastnight but they have started their new breakfast club and I have seen the cheapest priced Jamaican breakfast so far on the menu so I will definately be trying that out very soon.It is a nice atmosphere right on the waters edge, some loungers down on the sand.Yes it is nice,I found it a little boring lastnight but that is because all of my party people have gone home now.There arestill boardies here but ones who are shy and just want to sit down!No partying for me booo
But yes whoever said that looked like Doc O on one of my pics it is and she is a very nice lady and I saw her at Alfreds and at Canoe and we have a family visit day planned for at her home which I have been looking forward to.
I met lola too and johio and wife and hettie and babs and dave and addenna and irv.
I like canoe and Midiri said he is leaving on Saturday so yesterday canoe and jungle would be his final party so I waited for him and waited..and waited and no Midiri, got a taxi to the jungle NO MIDIRI.Wait til I see him LOL I sat on a chair outside the Jungle debating if I could be bothered to go and knock on for him at fun holiday as he said he wanted to go out but my stomach was rumbling I needed food guess what my choice was ? bbq chicken jerk chicken or CHICKEN
Well I guess I will have to go with the chicken then won't I?
I love chicken and rum but I swear today I am going on the hunt
And I like my prices to be in jmd because I have pounds or jmd pricing in american just confuses the situation I do not have a calculator I do not know the conversion and I always end up seeming to pay more.I know jamaican dollars to the single dollar I know what I am doing but keep giving me american prices when I am not american nor in america nor have any american money it gets on my nerves.I think if places are going to do that then they should advertise both rates makes it easier.
I WANT SOME COLESLAW DAMMIT
I intend of trawling every back street on the westend today in the search of Jamaican food and coleslaw and a nice bottle of water.
So after more chicken and Midiri not showing up I decided I was not going in the Jungle.The music there is totally stale until about 12 midnight so I was there about 10.30pm and did not want to sit and listen to the rubbish music until midnight! Music lovers you know what I am talking about! cheesy pop naff tunes that no-one likes and no-one dances to.I did mention it to the guys running the place last week but their response was it's early jugglin yuh know LOL
early juggling the people straight back out of there!Later on it really is a good party but the Jungle used to be the place to go early or late.I have found this trip that fridays and saturdays are not worth going and thursdays the early juggling makes it stale.
So Jungle for me is only after midnight on a thursday.I think their early juggling is leaving them with less bar profits and I saw others as well as myself turn away as they wanted the music the real deal.
American pie has had the best dancehall DJ so far
LOL bnewb yes it seems everyone is clued up on what to do in the whoomph situation I just scream for help.You are definately NOT a party pooper we just need to make a proper arrangement to party maybe seastar saturday or something?
Me and bnewb just keep running into each other with no plans or when I am not partying or trying not to or have a hangover so far we have clashed at wrong times but saturday was good fun and we will get the situation sorted very soon!
I have a phone now so I will find out the phone number today

Cool Runnings, Marko
I do not have a tip budget but one girl who may get a tip for her sheer cheeky funny joke is GEORGIA at canoe LOL I saw some money on a table lastnight and I did not want it to blow away so I said Georgia there is some money someone left there on the table so she says yes tic that is called a T.I.P and she said it really stern and funny so I said Georgia stop swearing at me! So we laughed shes a cheeky lil minx and for her cheek and directness now she may be the first lady on the tip menu!
She is funny and she is up for a laugh she plays good tunes and can and will dance!
Georgia at canoe is a nice lady, A girl called monique is there too hopefully georgia can be a bad influence on her and introduce her to the party style!
Monique is a georgia in training OMG hold that comment hope she doesn't ask me for a T.I.P too LOL:D
t.i.p is a very bad swear word for me lol
Thanks Marko I think I will head to chicken lavish then but the kids wanted to go to Ricks so I was hoping for something closer to SS today , still if I can't find any chicken lavish it is then!
Clarol had a day off at Seastar yesterday and she is not yet in this morning.I have forgotten the name of the lady who is here instead of her but barbara came in at lunchtime yesterday.
I really really missed clarol and barbara yesterday really missed them it really makes a massive difference to your day (and your hangover) and your whole aura how you get treated in the mornings!
I missed being told I looked lovely when I knew I looked like crap I missed us all looking at each other and smiling or just laughing at nothing and for no reason without being drunk or high.I missed a big dancehall tune coming on and looking around and seeing myself chair dancing in my PJS and barbara rocking her head to the tune and clarol dancing or singing to it while she washes the pots then we all join in!PARTY TIME!!
Really really missed it how very dare they have time off !
So I got up,went to the bar new guests are here my laydeez were not here so there was some old country western music playing arghhh where are my laydeez?
What is this
Where is smiling clarol to bring me water and OJ and make me feel alive and get the party started again?
cry cry
so I asked for some tap water and sat by the pool.Country western music stopped it was silent where have my dj laydeez gone someone stole my party girls cry cry
It was the first time I felt the effects of the night before and I know it is all about who you have around you and how they make you feel!People surrounding you can make a massive difference on your attitude and feelings so make sure you have the right people surrounding you.
Where is clarol and barb?Need them back

How do you like the little V.I.P room I found?it looks bright in the pic but it is low lit inside and very comfortable wooooo
Lying in my hammock imagining if I had enough cash Jamaica would be even more fantastic.Imagine having a personal shopper and stylist who every morning shows you a selection of clothes for day and evening wear?Then in pops your make up artist nail technician and hair stylist to get you sorted out for the day.Up pops your chauffer with rum punch on ice and favourite nibbles all set out in the back of the limo with your favourite tunes playing?Pick up your favourite people and go to the best places to hang stop off at the aerodrome jump in the private jet discover the coves and the castles,Have a few reggae singers round hire the best djs have some excellent parties with the real big sound soundsystems by the pools by the beaches Massive pots of real food, The real rastas the real vybz
and of course more rum.Go farming , go fishing, go exploring, go dancing go get fed ackee from under a grape tree!
Get on a private yacht have another reggae superstar party!schools out money is in and party time is on oh yes please life could be nice out here keep stacking up the cash.
The sunshine and palm trees in the day the tree frogs tweeting at the night chirping tictoc tictoc it is night time now get ready to partay!I'm coming tree frogs I'm coming
p.s. think I am slowly losing my mind and I am worried about the day I will get forced to leave this place.I need to prepare myself to control myself that day last time I made a last second decision to head back this time I have to go back as my children have to immediately sit their final exams before leaving school.That is all I have to return for.Maybe husband could take them for me:D
I will find a nice spot for my dad to come over and live, think my mum may get the guts eventually one day to step out of her comfort zone she would enjoy life here.I need to buy that house for my dad down in treasure beach he loves it hes got it all worked out money makes the world go round imagine me calling him on christmas day and doing a live video link and showing him the house with a big fat red bow on and say happy christmas get your butt here!
Oh well back to reality husband said we still have the chicken soup from yesterday that I did not eat save meeeeeeee;)

Good news guys I FOUND FOOD triple hooray
The winner is sips and bites.I walked for miles and miles on the hunt for good homecooked food today up the lanes down the lanes then stumbled on there.My son was moaning for an ice cream so I thought wth will I find an ice cream at this moment so we hear ding a ling a ling- guess what only an ice cream van drives by !! Great then we came across archway pizza for my son he was made up more about my day with pics and prices later.I will definately return to archway pizza and sips and bites.
make sure you check out choices too
your report is too fun!
Is that Pumpkin soup at Seastar???!!!
Cheers Seveen keep checking back!
yes tawnee that was pumpkin soup at Seastar!
Forgot to tell you all I saw a police van and ambulance today they were fast to arrive someone had a car accident 1 driver.So good to see and know I think he was okay.
Archway pizza not too far from le mirage is really realy good they do small and large pizzas loaded with cheese and my son had a small one but seemed quite large I did not take a tape measure LOL it was something like 580j pepperoni pizza we are definately going to all go and have pizza one night.I had left the family there while I searched for curried goat which I got from sips and bites a few stores down within walking distance from archways pizza.The prices at sips and bites are excellent , priced in jmd
and there was a good variety and they also offer small and large trays I got a small tray for 450j and it had inside curried goat rice peas yam salad and a festival that is way cool I was DELIGHTED wanted to do a crazy happy dance right there and then OMG I had walked for miles everyone had chicken but no goat they said while it is quiet they do not cook goat as it would get wasted.
So I finally found some at sips and bites.
Went back to archway pizza I forget the young mans name but he was very helpful nice and polite and quick too the pizza was made there and then upon order my salad had no mayo so was not really coleslaw so I asked did he have mayo and I would pay him I was going to sit on a chair outside as I did not want to be rude as I had not purchased my food from him but hey we are in Jamaica land of no problem he gave me the mayo and did not mind that I sat inside.
We got one pizza for my son that was more than enough for him he gave his sisters a slice and still had enough left he is nearly 7 years old and bought 5 bottles of water , bill was 1080j yay
Ran in to babs and dave on our walk and also yetta and husband met the guy from serious chicken he is having a grand launch tomorrow of his new spot and they will have ice cream days family days on sundays at low prices all looks fun and nice.Stopped to show my family the v.i.p lounge at hungry lion saw the owner there then headed back to Seastar.
There is also a place inbetween seastar lane and ricks cafe called westside or western I think I will have to check the name again another day the people there were very friendly and the meal prices were like 380j I was excited at that but it was mostly chicken today and I have had enough chicken for now but I will o back and try brown stew chicken and fried chicken and jerk LOL got to try them all!
I want to go to travellers karaoke night tonight but the taxi budget has finished now so I am screwed I could walk and bar hop I suppose but that would take forever so not sure if I will be out tonight or not but I have had my curried goat and water day so I am half happy can't have everything my own way I guess LOL..or can I??:D

Yesterday I made myself chuckle as when I was on the food hunt I accidentally walked into a private yard they were having a family gathering with music and food and they had their christmas lights up.
I was hungry I thought it was a bar I saw a big pot of food and wandered over and said have you got any food left in the pot they looked at me in sheer amazement and I said can I have some food LOLThey laughed and said noo sirr we not sell food here and told me where to go look for food, only dawned on me fully what just happened as I walked away hang my head in shame LOL Did I just do that?did I ?YES i did OMG! I was going up little side lanes though the family party looked fun anyhow wish I could have stayed and joined in for their family dinner party LOL I can imagine them saying when they were laughing as I walked off ha ha the white woman walking around asking people for food wth LOL
Lastnight a seriously quiet night was definately on my agenda remember I have not had my jetlag day yet but then I fancied going out just for last orders so chose travellers beach resort as somewhere nice to relax and listen to karaoke.It was really good and chilled and when the guests went to bed and obviously I stayed one of the guys who runs it was on the mic with a couple of other men and they were going at it HARD they were really good just making up lyrics on the spot to some heavy music it was good fun,That finished so I went to alfreds but then I heard rooftop was open so went there.The women took their underwear off this time good job I was crosseyed from rum at this point what I think I saw them doing LOL
then on my way home american pie was still rocking and it would be rude not to go and have a last dance then I heard scrubadub was still open but at that point I got sent home kicking and screaming party pooper alert grabbed a piece of chicken and sulked home!Rooftop dj was cool he was letting me stand up in the booth and putting all my tunes on for me very kind thumbs up!
FOR RASTAGAL
