four-minute friday: uncensored

Go.

No preconceived ideas on what I’ll write this time, McNiely. We’ll take this one exactly as it comes.

Holy crow—By next Friday, you’ll be in the same time-zone as me! I still won’t have seen you (seriously?!), but at least we’ll both be on the east coast of America. I’ve had July 31st in my brain as D-Day for months; I guess I need to reprogram it with August 8th. Get ready for the tightest hug and longest kiss of your life.

I love that I’m meeting you in DC. That makes our reunion seem so much more romantic and alluring. (No one needs to know we’re going there for business.) I’ve always wanted to be able to say something as chic as “I’m meeting my husband in DC.” And now I can. Yessss! Doesn’t it sound so… so… like we’re gonna have hot, wild sex all weekend? (Am I allowed to say that in the blogosphere?) It does kinda sound like that, doesn’t it. You should try it out. Go ‘head and say it. Although definitely say “wife” instead of “husband”.

I’m ready to see your face, play with your hair, kiss your lips, and smack your butt. Among other things.

I just have one question: How are you feeling now about us staying in a host home the first night together after 11 weeks apart????

Done.

    “well son/daughter, it all happened one day when we had been apart to long. and then we met in DC. the rest is history.”

  3. is it just me, or is it hot in here?

    i think my computer screen is smoking…

  6. jon mark says:

    so if there’s a first time blog reader today…i’m thinkin they’re coming back!!! i can’t wait to see anti’s response to this one!!!

  7. Oh my!! I am going to say this occasion definitely calls for a nice hotel room! Theres nothing like great sex when you don’t have to think about waking someone in the next room! (and this is speaking from experience, when we first were married we had an apartment with thin walls. My brother and his new wife lived on the other side and we always woke up to hear them screaming and fighting. Lets just say they always woke up to other kinds of screams! When we moved into our house I was so excited to know that no one would hear anything! Now Dan’s always worried I will wake Conrad, oh well!) So Neil how about it? Just get a room and have a blast! (oh that sounds bad! just have fun!)

  8. “no one needs to know we’re going there for business”
    IT’S BUSINESS TIME!!!!!

    hannahthat made me laugh. mostly, i think, because you said it!

    mandy — crank up that A/C!

    klampert — oh dear… yeah, slightly awkward considering we used to play hide-n-seek together. “go get a room!” — i’m tryin’!

    bran — you made me laugh out loud!

    jon mark — i can’t wait to see his response either!

    faith — i blushed just reading your comment! i’m always always always surprised by you! oh my… when you have some time, i think you’d enjoy reading the comment dialogue on this post. it’s right up your alley: http://gritandglory.com/2008/07/11/guess-not-the-jeans/

    cathi — i totally thought that when i wrote it! ha ha ha!

    heidi — you made me burst out laughing. i never expected that from you. phew boy, that was funny.

    I’m laughing a *lot* right now. But inside. Because I don’t want to have to explain to the lady of the house I’m staying in this summer. ;)

  22. alece says:

    wouldn’t THAT be a funny conversation!

    “well, this missionary i know…”

  23. roo says:

    YES.
    And now I’m smiling and cringing. All at once.

  24. alece says:

    ha ha ha ha! come on, you know you want to have that conversation… if only so you can blog about it!

  25. roo says:

    I don’t know if I’d be able to handle blogging about it.
    My mom reads my blog. And, occasionally, my grandparents. And *whispering* David.

    Did she ever tell us where she got that word?

  33. alece says:

    no, it’s actually mandy’s fault. somehow, everything is always her fault.

  34. alece says:

    yeah – she said it was on grease 2, which i’ve still yet to see.

    “it’s 10 in the morning and i’m talking about huggaboochin”! oh you are on a roll today!

  39. Christen says:

    I always find these comment conversations hard to follow- but some one up above said something about “Missionaries do that?” Well, isn’t one of the positions called “Missionary position?”

  40. alece says:

    christen — sometimes i find them hard to follow, but the crazy fun that ensues in my comments are about the highlight of my day!

    and yep — they didn’t name it that for nothin’!

  41. 42 comments. Wow. I am in awe.

  42. Christen says:

    I wonder WHY they named it that…. hmmm

  43. alece says:

    total — that’s all you can say? we rendered you speechless, didn’t we?!

    christen — ask niel to explain it to you… ;-)

  44. HAHAHA!
    totally rad.

    And….hubby and I find that having to stay “mum” in other people’s houses…is EXTREMELY fun!

  45. Christen says:

    LOL, are you SERIOUS?

  46. alece says:

    joy — mum can be fun… but… not after 11 weeks of celibacy.

    christen — JUST KIDDING!

  47. Christen says:

    oh PHEW!

  48. alece says:

    whatever you do, don’t look it up on wikipedia. take my word on it.

  49. Christen says:

    yeah, but now that’s like a temptation too strong to resist!

    D-day is now the 8th, huh? It’ll be here before you know it…

    Look out Nigel… what your baby wants, your baby gets… and I think it’s YOU!!!

    And that was definitely NOT cheesy.

    Umm…Alece…should I, like, unsubscribe…? :neutral:

  56. alece says:

    mark — i don’t get it. (don’t watch the office.)

    kitty — i laughed out loud at your 12 lemon reference. “what my baby wants, my baby gets”. i love it!!! and yes, thank you for noticing (and acknowledging) that this was WAY out of the box for me!!!

    TNE — wow. i’m gonna lose readership over this one! yikes.

  57. 1godsgal says:

    Ok, so are you going to blog AFTER the reunion??? LOL So glad you guys will be together again!!!! I don’t think there’s a thing wrong with what ya said…after all you have a license right??? ;)

  58. roo says:

    Um, something about a book of positions… and passing it around. No, thanks. *hands it to the next person*

    uhhhhhawkward!

  69. alece says:

    faith — your favorite store!

    hannah — i so would never have jumped in a conversation like this before i was married. so high-five for jumping into the deep end with us. and… just call it “huggaboochin”. you won’t blush as much, and it’s just funny to say! :-) ha ha.

  70. alece says:

    lisa — kind of a scary first-day-visitors post. i sure made you feel welcome, didn’t i?!?! sheesh. i swear i don’t always blog like this. this was WAAAAAY out there for me!

  74. mark says:

    ok, michael scott is the office manager on The Office. he usually (at least once every episode) takes something that someone says and turns it into a sexual comment by saying, “that’s what she said!”

    i would put an example here but i would hate to royally embarrass myself so, here’s a youtube clip:

    He was born with cleft lip and palate. The best way describe( half a nose and a split lip and palate)

    Long story about all this, bus this is hit 9th surgery. This time they are taking bone marrow out of his groin and breaking his jaw to insert the bone marrow so he can form teeth in the front.

    This surgery is intense but not the worst he has had.

    He is a HERO

    says:

    It is a very good book. I hadn’t heard of it until last year either – but it is not new.

    She was a successful Danish teacher and the Lord pricked her heart for the people of Jerusalem. She ended up having a ministry to orphans and adopted like eight kids before she met her husband. Fascinating story – I think you would like it.

    Anyway, she refused to write about her life for the same reasons you are giving. So her husband helped her. The funny thing is that his biography came out a little over a year ago (he lived longer than she did) and it was written by someone else that he dictated to. I read both of their biographies back to back and was just enthralled the whole time.

    It might have been that I was interested in their stories because it was at a small store front church meeting that Derek Prince spoke at when I gave my life to the Lord at just eight years old.

  110. alece says:

    wow. she sounds like an incredible woman. and how amazing that her husband was the speaker at church the day you gave your life to the Lord. i’m sure you read the books with unique eyes for that reason…

    i’ll definitely check them out! thanks for the tip.

  113. alece says:

    “we will split the profits, of course” – ha ha ha! sounds like a great plan. no more fundraising for us! than we missionaries can focus on better things… like, hot steamy sex with our husbands.

    when i go to that fine city i try to do all those things fine people do….
    i go visit the big man, pay my respects to him by reading his stuff on his blog of granite
    i take a walk besides still waters next to the presidents swimming hole
    and i sit and ponder all the wonderful things the city and its people has to offer
    that is what i do in the fine city…
    my man niel says he heard from a reliable sourse that that he might need to get a little physical with the lady of the blog….

    he says he might need a manuel as it has been so long he thinks he cant remember how to do it …
    i told him someone said that it i slike riding a bike .. once your on, it kinda all comes back to you.

    he says remembering doing it as a young one but are looking forward to be taught all over again in his old age…something about old dog learning new tricks…

    he says he might then want to move to that city if he is going t get all that excitement he heard is promised to him..

    he says america aparently is a land filled with all kinds of amusement parks and marry go rounds and so on..and so he is looking forward to go and experience these climatic events as he never has in africa..

    he says he thinks he needs to be shaving for this special event in that fine city and suggest the same to the lady of this blog as it is apparently a wonderfull thing like brazilian coffee..

    he was wondering if he should pack and use a jacket when he goes to the city as he heard their might be showers involved this time of the year..

    he did say that he is most excited about just seeing the lady of this blog and talking and walking beside the still waters of the big man..

    ok and to the rest of you … dont you people have work to do seriously sitting here typing all day like a bunch of bloggers

  117. alece says:

    oh my… i have tears streaming down my face. THAT was funny.

    lincoln’s “blog of granite” — man, you’re good.

    the lady of the blog says you’re hot!

  118. edfromct says:

    “I just have one question: How are you feeling now about us staying in a host home the first night together after 11 weeks apart????”

    My first question is how thick are the bedroom walls in the house, or the kitchen walls, or the laundry room walls (it is always fun to see if you can make it through the spin cycle), depending on your preference.

    After 11 months apart, you could always make it a long ride back to the house.

    I hope you have remembered to tell Niel that Airport security does check for whips and handcuffs, I am just saying.

    ed — spin cycle?!?! oh my cow, you had me blushing big time. and… it’s 11 weeks, not months. i’d go nutso (even more than i already am!) if i was apart from my man for almost a year!

    cathi — i’m workin’ on it!

    natalie — i’ve got mine all ready. locked and loaded.

    michelle — you’ve been lurking?! what do YOU make of all this madness!?

  124. Michelle says:

    I don’t know how you’ve done it. I’ve never been away from Phat for more than a week. And when he returned I couldn’t hug him long or hard enough, I felt desperate without him.

    I still do. I think I’m co-dependent but that’s OK if you’re married, right?

    I say make hotel arrangements. The W has sound proof rooms.

    Just sayin’.

  125. alece says:

    michelle — i can’t help but ask: Phat?!?!?!

    and niel and i have traveled separately a lot over our almost-8 years of marriage. ministry/missionary life (for us anyway) has demanded it. i’m “used to it” in a lot of ways and have come to really enjoy my times of solitude when i have them (much more so now than in the early years), but this stretch is really long. and there’s been so much going on in my life that it’s made it much harder to be apart from him.

    thanks for the heads up about the W! good to know! ha ha ha!

  126. Michelle says:

    Not feeling well can make the separation harder, maybe that’s why I hate it so when he leaves for a week of business. But you seem to be a very strong woman, a rock and all!

    Yes…Phat. I just do that to bug him. His online name in Comic Phat – he’s all that – or so he says. His real name is Gary.

    For all my serious side, he’s the jokester. He laughs continuously. Opposites attacting…

    I admire you greatly, Alece. God has called you to a wonderful ministry and great life for His glory. You are blessed.

  127. alece says:

    yes, it’s definitely worse when i’m not feeling well. i would imagine that makes it really hard for you to have him be gone as well…

    “comic phat” eh?! that’s hilarious. he sounds like he’s a ball of fun.

    thank you for saying you admire me; that means a lot.

  128. Michelle says:

    It’s kind of easy, Alece. You have given your life for God and others. You’re a beautiful woman with a heart of gold AND a sense of humor. From what you’ve shared here, wisdom flows from your pen and I’m assuming it must come from your heart. A true gift from God.

    ok…eyes leaking…time to go.

  129. Bran Muffin says:

    oh man oh man oh man oh man!!!

    I just read through all the comments I’ve missed since my comments.

    ED!! SPIN CYCLE!!! I had to cover my mouth to muffle that laugh!! This is by far one of the best comments sections, next to the “guess” comments.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE AB’s comment. Oh my word I thought I was going to pee my pants from holding in laughter. I needed a release somewhere!!!

    Al, I’m emailing you for your mailing address. You better give it up missy.

    Well, I mean, your address, to me. The other “it” goes to Niel.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  130. alece says:

    wow, michelle… thank you for pointing out what you see in me. i forget too quickly how powerful that can be to the person on the other end. you are such an encouragement!

    BM — between this one and the “guess” one, somehow all our wacky comment conversations end up back on the subject of huggaboochin. i don’t know how that happens. well this time, i was kinda askin’ for it with my post. but NOT with the “guess” one. that just kinda came up out of nowhere!

    “give it up missy”… niel can tuck away that line to use later…

  131. Bran Muffin says:

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I’m sure Niel has a few better lines!!! heehee

    And yes dear, you were totally asking for it on this one! ;-) Totally!!

    Just remember to ask for it later too. ;-) Begging is good.

    WHA?!

  132. alece says:

    you are on FIYAH!

  133. Bran Muffin says:

    hahahahaha!!! I’m so hot I could cook a steak. A nice meaty rump roast. heehee

    I sent you an email. I expect a response before monday so I can be at the post office Monday morning! hahahahaha!!!

  134. Bran Muffin says:

    wait, steak and rump roast…..not the same thing.

    I suck. In a funny dorky way. ha!

  135. alece says:

    in south african restaurants, there’s almost-always a steak cut called…

  141. Bran Muffin says:

    I know! It’s so funny!!!

    Okay, I’m checkin’ out. :( Battery is half gone, need to put Mr. O in bed, and then get busy sorting laundry.

    Why can’t we all be nudists???????? Why can’t I just blog and blog and blog all day and night? WHY?! WHY?! WHYYYYY!?!?!

    I so love you!

    You could also say to Niel “lets hop on the good foot and do the bad thang”
    A personal favorite of Jake’s. Oh he kills me.

  142. alece says:

    bran - how can you say something like “let’s hop on the good foot and do the bad thang” and then get offline? this jakester of yours is krazy!

    nudists? umm… no thanks. i’m all for the all-day-and-night blogging. but i’d rather do it clothed. comfy clothes, but certainly fully clad.

    email… you don’t even know my size!! and you can’t send me shoes. seriously. you—uh—need ‘em just as much as i do!

    This is the best comment section yet!!

    oh my gosh. I have laughed so hard that I have snorted, cried, peed (TMI) and wanted to come back for some more!!!

  144. Bran Muffin says:

    Okay I waited for your response…so I’m still here….briefly…b/c I love doing laundry so much.

    Jake is krazy. I tell him often. haha!!

    I’m going to guess your size since we are the same height.

    Heidi, get her address will ya?! She needs some heels! The girl needs some heels! Crazy loud sex has to be started in some spiky hooker heels!!!

    Time is short! GET.ON.IT!!!! hahahaha!!!

  145. Bran Muffin says:

    Heidi, I peed my pants last night when I threw something upstairs to Jake. Seriously. THese boys, they have ruined me.

  146. Bran Muffin says:

    I have decided to multi task….feed Owen while typing and THEN get off. That buys me some time. ;-) haha

    heidi — ha ha ha! thanks for the pee confession!

    bran — if you’re insistent, i’ll email you my size too because i’d hate for you to waste a pair of shoes… “crazy loud sex has to start in spiky hooker heels” — oh my cow, that’s hilarious.

  150. alece says:

    you multi-taskin’ mama, you!

    and heidi, brandy does NOT need any assistance in “ho-out-alece” department…

  151. Bran Muffin says:

    oh your cow it IS hilarious and it somehow helps add to the volume. Not sure why. *shrug* hahahaha!!!

    Heidi, is that what did it for you?! haha

  159. Bran Muffin says:

    Seriously, you need to get a room. Seriously.

    We should start a fund for you!!!

    “Help Huggaboochin Homies Ho it up!”

  160. alece says:

    heidi — oh my wombat! no no no no… i’m blushing already in the anticipated embarrassment. i’m gonna set up a lemonade stand tomorrow to make some money to “get a room!”

  161. Bran Muffin says:

    Even if they don’t HEAR you, they’ll KNOW what’s going on. That’s almost worse! B/c then they could be trying to make sure they don’t hear anything by first making sure there’s something they’re not supposed to hear….ya know? hahaha!!

    I remember the first time that happened to us….oh it was bad. I don’t think we succeeded.

    Then, when the parents would come stay with us….ugh….even worse!!!

    is all you can say..

  167. alece says:

    okay — slightly changing the topic — my blogging habits are going to have to CHANGE majorly when mr. hottypants and i are back together. i’ve been spending hours on-end on here, and i don’t know how you guys actually do that while maintaining your lives and marriages (and you two have kids!)

  168. Bran Muffin says:

    I think somewhere an anti blogger is blushing.

    heehee

  169. alece says:

    yes, brandy. you said nuts.

    and… note to self: always lock bedroom door.

  170. alece says:

    (i wonder if he’ll ever read all these comments!)

  171. Bran Muffin says:

    Alece dear I was JUST thinking that when you go back to SA this probably won’t happen….”live chatting” or “live emailing” like it does now. :( That makes my heart twinge just a bit.

    I neglect Jake and then make up for it with spikey heels and a scarf for an outfit. hahahahaha!!!!

    Seriously though, we talked last night about both of us cutting back on our addictions….him and the tv and me and the blogging….which is why I was barely on earlier today. New rule….none when the kids are up.

    aaaaah… that’s good. yeah, i’m guessing niel and i will have to have the “boundaries talk”. i think i’ll be the only one needing to cut back on something though… and that kinda sucks. and i’ll miss my blog-family so much. sheesh.

  190. alece says:

    commando comment conversation concerning consummation craziness.

    UNBELIEVABLE.

    that makes this whole thing so much funnier to me.

  191. Bran Muffin says:

    THAT IS HILARIOUS!!! hahahaha!!

    I had to leave another comment at AB’s b/c I goofed. I hate wordpress. Sometimes.

  192. alece says:

    no worries… seriously. i like that you asked him to tell you what color! ha ha ha!

  193. alece says:

    okay. for reals… we all need to get off of here.

    good night, ladyfriends. thanks for a darn good time.

    (“that’s what she said!”)

  194. Bran Muffin says:

    nighty night!!

    *kisses*

  195. Wow. We just stopped painting and delayed going to bed to read this. Silly girls!

    You seriously need to not be at a host home.

  196. alece says:

    you didn’t read ALL of it, did you!??! that would take ages at this point.

    sheer craziness seems to erupt spontaneously on my blog at times.

  197. great job, lovely…great job!
    [and perfect use of "that's what she said"...you're a rock star!]

  198. alece says:

    yessss! i’m glad you saw that. i’m a fast learner, you know.

    now i just need to actually watch an episode of the office!

    (did you see my “take a look” link up there? you’ll like that.)

  199. you never cease to amaze me, queen of the african nights! And yes, the picture was beautiful…and quite accurate, I might add!
    However, as a couple who’s lived w/ other people more than we’ve lived on our own…I might have some handy dandy tips for you. First…get a lock b/c getting interrupted during the “booch” of hugaboochin aren’t may favorite memories! And if a lock isn’t available, use a stopper, or a chair, or a dresser! For heaven’s sake!

  200. alece says:

    yes yes yes. good call. what other tips ya got for me, oh liver-with-other-peoples…???

  201. if someone does end up coming into your room, never say, “uhhh, not now”. it’s a dead give away that you’re waxing the floors.
    oh, and if you have to be loud, make the other person cough. it can be quite tricky at times, but you’ll get the hang of it after the first few times.

  202. alece says:

    “waxing the floors”!?!? i’m learning all sorts of new phrases…

    so… what do you say instead of “uhh…not now” when someone knocks???

  203. great question! You just causally say, “I”m so glad that you decided now was a nice time to talk. However, I’m in the middle of something and would find it most advantageous to speak with you another time. Mind leaving a message on the door WHICH WAS CONVENIENTLY SHUT!”
    just a suggestion

  204. alece says:

    maybe niel can say,

    “we’re not available right now. please leave a message after the beep. BEEEEEEEEP.”

  205. yeah, but I”m thinking that “BEEEEEP” will actually be the Hollywood sound bite for (*&(*&^*&(*$$%#%!

  206. alece says:

    HA HA HA HA!

    dang, you’re good!

  207. that’s missionary for “what the ???”

  208. alece says:

    (thanks for translating to missionary-speak for me.)

  209. alece says:

    (i did just learn that “walk it out” means dancing… so sometimes i need translations.)

  210. well, i take some tips from you most frequently…so, it’s only fair.

  211. alece says:

    that’s what he said.

  212. …and he’s ever so grateful!

  213. alece says:

    ha! oh cathi, you are good for my heart.

  214. Anna says:

    Ok, so …… that was a lot of comments.. I think I read half and then I gave up reading more… just way too many. lol.

    You go guys, get your groove on! ;)

    Dustin and I were apart several times when he was in the Air Force. First of which was 6 weeks for boot camp. That was nearly impossible. Then he moved to his Tech school. The first four weeks he had to live in the dorms on base, I also lived in that town in our apartment. We got to see each other every day, but no nookie for the 4 weeks. Just holding hands and an occassional kiss. It was actually really amazing for our marriage, though I wouldn’t want to do it again.

    Then he spent two stints over seas. They were each two months at a time. These were actually easier to do cause Grace was a baby and I was busy with her. But we were glued to each other forever when we got back together…. I hate being apart. And I hope we never have to endure that again for more then a day or a few days. :)

    I can’t wait to hear about your reunion. Though you can leave out the juicy details of that kind of *ahem* stuff… hehehe!

  215. becca says:

    MSN had this piece on how to kiss better. Notice the very last line…HA.

    Get your hands in on the action
    “Run them through my hair, or, if you really want to get me going, stroke my neck. Yeah, it’s a bit effeminate of me, but it makes me feel as if she’s enjoying it so much that she can’t control herself. Just lip-to-lip contact is the missionary position of making out.”

  216. alece says:

    anna — reading “nookie” made me laugh. my oh my, the list of alternate words/phrases for good ol’ S-E-X just grows by the minute. who says blogging isn’t educational?!

    becca — i don’t know which is funnier: that the kissing article used the phrase “missionary position” or that YOU were reading the kissing article!

  217. becca says:

    Hey- It was on my email site. haha.

  218. becca says:

    I’ll figure out how to master it in due time. Though I did read it.
    ….
    Haha.

  219. Anna says:

    You have never heard of nookie before? LOL

    I can’t help it…. it’s much easier to use an alternative then to say SEX

  220. alece says:

    becca — yes, but you clicked on it! (and… purpose to only master it with your husband. will save you a lot of heartache.)

    anna — what can i say? i live in africa! and oh yeah, i’m all for avoiding saying the S-word.

  223. I am soooo glad that I didn’t have internet yesterday and I was able to stay out of this one!!! heehehe

  224. oh my this is so funny! I have read every bit of this over the past few days! And I have to comment about the “Brazilian” comments. I’m not sure who said it or what it was in context too. How about a Brazilian bikini wax?? Thats what I think when I hear Brazilian! Or Brazilian cut panties which are cool too, but if you wear those you really need the wax to make it all work well together. Oh and I went to Victoria’s Secret yesterday and scored some awesome panties and a purple bra!! They look really great and are way comfy too. Maybe I should join the “Hoe out Alece” group and send you some panties for your reunion! I’m all for hoeing up the married ladies!! Oh and the other week I got some great “hooker” shoes and they worked like a charm (even with blisters on my feet, it was well worth it!). Ok so my husband Dan asked what I was reading for so long and when I tried to explain it didn’t go very well. He basically thinks that Neil and Alece are in a group called “missionaries who have hot steamy sex”.

  225. sweetness…did you ever think of how many people you have made smile within this one post?
    You’re nothing short of amazing!!!!

  226. Brandy says:

    OH my gosh I’m dying. Absolutely dying!!

    Faith, I’m sending her some spikey heels! You send the undies!!! Yess! Let’s get a care packaget together!

    Oh this is funny. So so funny!!!

  227. alece says:

    brandy — you will never cease to make me laugh!

    mo — c’mon! jumping into the scary deep end is the best part!!!

    faith — phew… you’ve got a knack for making me blush on my own blog. and i cringed that you caught onto that brazillian business… and i had to laugh at your last sentence! ha!

    cathi — if lots of babies are born 9 months from now, don’t blame me!

  228. “this just in…the baby boom of 2009 has been traced back to a blog posted by none other than a missionary named Alece. Thanks to her great endeavors, the human population has grown and we are experiencing a major economic upturn – gas prices have fallen and the housing market has leveled. The President will be visiting Alece this weekend in South Africa to present to her a medal of honor and a years worth of birth control”

  229. alece says:

    ha ha ha ha! if he’s gonna come with a million bucks in hand (for the ministry of course), then bring it on… and start havin’ babies!

    I read that and stared at it and read it again…no W in DC??? Sure there is…Washington, DC…George W. Bush…?

    Decided you must have been talking to another Michelle…came to read…oh yeah!! The W!!!

    I am shocked! We stayed at the one in New Orleans, pre-Katrina days.

    The Westin is the same chain…not as chic but still quite luxurious (not sure about the sound-proof rooms though). Could have just been a New Orleans thing – considering the wildness of that city!

    I found this in DC…same chain…looks nice *shrugs*
