On the bright side, Friday!!! Lots of fun things scheduled. And even a bit of laundry-folding if I really, really can't think of anything else to do with my time(so....no).

H's bff and his wife agreed to plan a vacation with us. Super excited. They want an All Inclusive, and we are cruisers usually, anyone been to a great AI?
Does anyone else get insomnia when on your period? This is the second cycle where I just can't get to sleep or stay asleep.
I've been exhausted this week and sleeping right through to my alarm. I have no idea if it's my period or the fact that I'm not temping. I'm starting to think that not temping = great sleep. If I know I have to temp, even if I'm just rolling over and not fully awake, I end up awake. Then I panic about what time it is and decide to temp because I don't want to NOT fall back asleep and have my alarm go off. I'm trying to get better about not caring.

We've been to Sandals Whitehouse in Jamaica, The Royal in both Playa del Carmen and Cancun, Secrets Silversands in Mexico, the Hard Rock in Punta Cana and the Westin Playa Conchal in Costa Rica. The Westin was my favorite of them all- room was great, food was delicious, lots of alcohol, had an adults only section, and we did a couple great excursions.
I am got a new phone today, but the software isn't updated. We have really strict restrictions on using the wifi, so I am at home doing the update. That is one of the many benefits of being 5 miles from home.
+1. I always take a long lunch on Friday and go to the grocery and back home to put everything away. It saves so much time on weekends and I stay on list because I have to go through fast.
And also I buy a cookie for my Friday afternoon treat. Do I get the chocolate m&m or the peanut butter m&m ones today?
I'm waiting to get my car recall fixed, I have a few errands to run and I plan on spending the day in my pool. I have 18 dozen cupcakes to make at some point today too.

DH and I have been to all inclussives in both Jamaica (Sandals) and Dominican Republic (Dreams). We liked them both, but they are really quite different.
tell me more, different how? Food is important to me, especially (if all goes well) I might be knocked up by February.

Our honeymoon was at the Sandals Grande in Antigua, we absolutely loved it. I recommend it to everyone I can. The island was beautiful, the resort was beautiful, there was so much to do, the restaurants were all amazing and there were SO many of them, the open bar was actually top shelf liquor and had great drinks...I really can't say enough good things about it. I cannot wait to go back someday!

18 dozen? please tell me you are a baker, because I am picturing trying to do this myself with 2 cupcake pans and ready to cry.

pinkcat, OMG I want to go NOW. I always thought Sandals was super pricey though?
It can be, but it doesn't have to be. For what was included, I thought it was actually a really good deal. Snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking, and all kinds of things are included. You are also not allowed to tip at all- if you try they will not take your money- so that makes a difference over the course of a week as well. If you stay in one of the high end rooms it is really pricey, but they have a lot of less expensive options! Basically, there are 3 tiers of rooms- the standard level, the mid tier, and the butler level. We did mid tier because you get unlimited open bar in your room (Champagne, beer, wine, liquor...anything you want really) and for us that was worth it. The butler level didn't seem like it would be worth it to me at all, because it was much more expensive.
If you have any questions on Sandals or Antigua I'd be happy to answer....I really, really loved it!

maybe not so random, but when you think of cruisers, what are your thoughts?
We are preppy looking DINKs, so people are always surprised that we cruise, it seems to be a stereotype of old rich people, fat white trash or spring break drunks.
not to say we haven't met all of those types, we'll drink with anyone.

We went to Couples in Jamaica and it was amazing, a lot included and the food was much better than some other AI I have been too. We went to the Ochos Rios one, but they have a few.
