172 of 365 memories...the rest of the story! Well almost....

I'm going to start by saying, this is probably the most pictures that I have posted at one time. And it is A LOT of them. But I honestly don't think I could do our trip justice if I didn't post them. This was the final cut out a GAZILLION photos, grab a sweet tea and enjoy our memories....

171 of 365 memories...never to old to learn!!

When all 19 of us planned this beach trip, I think it's pretty safe to say that we all at one time thought to our selves, is this really going to work? Are we all going to be speaking to each other at the end? Will we all make it out ALIVE??


And we did!!


And along the way, I think we all learned more about each than we thought we would.

Besides for who has the worst morning breathe and who has the best bed head.



I learned that I could laugh uncontrollably at absolutely nothing at all. (thank you Ms. Rona)



I learned that sharing a bikini bottom and an AMAZING outdoor shower with a skinny bitch can actually be fun. (thanks Mel)


I learned that having someone else's child jump to you in the pool, when he won't jump to anyone else, feels as good as if it were your own child. (thanks Em)


I learned that LEARNING more about a person that TOTALLY kicks butt at beer pong, is totally sweet. (thanks trina)



I also learned that this past week would not of been nearly as relaxing, funny or entertaining if I wouldn't of been with these ladies......

Thanks ladies, for the talks, the drinks, the smiles and of course, the memories!!

Help!! I've paid for extra storage and I can't set it up!!

I need help bloggers! On Sunday as I was trying to post pictures and blog about the rest of our beach trip I got an error message telling me that I reached my limited on "free" space for Picasa and I needed to order more space.


So the next day I went through all the motions and ordered and paid for my extra storage on Picasa.


I got my confirmation code, waited 24 hours, signed out and then in to gmail and blogger and NOTHING happened. I still get the error message. My extra storage is in my account but I still can't upload pictures to blogger!


I have contacted the help desk but no help from them yet, I was wondering if anyone else had this happen??
