Taking bets!!!

I'm going to pee in my pants laughing on the phone with these two. They are going 50 miles an hour on a highway that keeps turning into one lane. Laurie is singing and talking over Sandi. She keeps talking about hitting the cones to see if they are rubber. Peggy you may have a hairless chin when they get there.

Shayna and I are watching the King's Speech and eating pizza, but Laurie and Sandi, poor things, are on their way home. They have a long freaking night ahead of them.

We all survived! The cabin was incredibly nice. Shayna discovered her inner Boy Scout and managed to light a fire! She was pretty excited. While we were gathered around the campfire, listening to the gurgling creek, and enjoying the fire, Sandi turned around quickly because she thought she heard a werewolf/bear! I said Sandi, bears/werewolves don't moo. <rolls eyes> Silly city girl.

Only two chins found a new home, despite my trying my best to shove 20 or 30 on Sandi. Sandi adopted her lovely Benny, who will become the handsome Gerard's partner in crime; and Shayna found her Giggy, a cutie pie of a TOV/violet. It was love at first snorgle.

Sigh, everyone getting TOV violets but me.

I'm glad you ladies had a great time.

I'm sitting in bed reading this and giggling. Chris keeps asking me what's so funny and I'm telling him - and he's just looking at me like I'm crazy.

Glad to hear y'all had a good time.

Glad you all had so much fun! Can't wait to meet Benny, and see pics of Shayna's Giggy!

Laurie's already roped me in for next year. As long as nothing comes up, I'm in. )

So the count down to your violet wrap has begun! ;-)

I'm going on 33+ hours of NO sleep. I HAVE to be at work right now for our closing and move and we rolled in my driveway at 5 am but I had to be up for my daughters to get them ready and take them to school. I feel like I have a huge hangover right now BUT Benny, the huge bears in Bear Country strolling around my car, and the baby bears, and of course the Corn Palace made it all worth while. But most of all being with friends and having a lot of laughs was priceless. After I get home and get some sleep I'll post pics of Benny and the trip although I'm sure Laurie will beat me to it !

I got in a 7am this morning. I dropped Sandi off at 5am and caught myself falling asleep twice on the way home but I did make it. Unfortunately I have no voice today and my "cankles" make it hurt to walk lol! I am missing a job fair today that I found out about at 10am however I'm emailing my HR rep my resume and will set up an appt sometime later in the week.

Our according to Peggy 9 hour trip takes over 11 hours. Mapquest doesn't allow pee breaks or getting back on I80 the wrong direction hence now going 11 miles out of your way.

It was an incredible trip. I love my girlfriends so much and it's awesome just being with them. But seeing the sites with them makes it even better. The Corn Palace was awesome, they make all the designs and pictures using "indian" corn--so all naturally colored to create the works of art. Rapid City is STUNNING and our cabin was beautiful.

I, of course, was WAY more into the wolves and mountain lions than anyone else at Bear Country but seeing bears next to your car was just incredible. Seeing bees flying into your car and watching your best friend spazz out like she was crazy was even MORE incredible!

I'm in the process of posting pics to photobucket so i can share our adventure with you all!

 

[Dragonflye]

[Sandi]

I just wanted to say (since she's on vacation with a friend and probably won't see this) Meanie was right! Sandi's Iphone worked this year in South Dakota!!! With the exception on the cabin, she had constant IPhone connectivity. This year though she was barely even talking to anyone lol! My phone, of course, always had service even when no one else's at the cabin did
