NEXT YEAR'S Outing

So, now that we know that Disney is scrapping Pleasure Island for something more family friendly (Boo, hiss!!!), let's get some ideas going here for where to go and what to do this coming May. PLEASE POST your ideas and links to places you might like to go... Here's one to consider... Sanibel Harbor Resort and Spa http://www.sanibel-resort.com/. There are not that many places to go out down there, but the spa is supposed to be awesome... it's just outside of Ft. Myers. Ladies, we have been terrible bloggers, so let's get to it.

Not Your Typical Summer Reading List

Dear Ladies,

Since there hasn't been a post lately I just wanted to give you all some suggested reading for this summer. Now, let me preface this by saying that these are not any Harlequin romance novels... I don't read much of that stuff, but if anyone has any 'chick lit' suggestions I would love to hear them. Here are three books that will make you think and give you great conversation starters at parties. Enjoy!!!!

The Number by Lee Eisenberg
This is a great book about retirement planning... a dry subject, I know, but a really useful take on what you should be thinking about no matter what stage of life you are in...

Nation of Wimps by Hara Estroff Marano
I am just finishing this one up right now and I have to say that I would make this book required reading for all Moms and Dads in the U.S. of A. if I could. It details the (very recent and profound) psychological changes that have occurred in children and young adults who have never had to do anything for themselves because their 'mommies' and 'daddies' do everything for them... scary indeed!!!!

Last Child in the Woods by Ricard Louv
OK, so I haven't read this yet, but I have heard so many great things about it and it won the 2008 Audubon Medal... I just know that the childhood that my kids are experiencing is vastly different than mine (we explored the undeveloped land behind our neighborhood and got chased by wild boar, stayed out until dark and pretty much did whatever we wanted). This book is bound to shed some light on how these changes will play out in our children's future.

Hey Ladies

This is my son Quinn supporting his OBLI organics onesie - very cute - thanks Michelle

A little delayed but I wanted to say thanks for the great weekend away...I had an amazing time!

Cheers, Donna

I am so slow.....

Hello Ladies, It took me a while, but I'm in. My next task will be to try post pics but baby steps. This is such a great idea. Thanks Alisa for dragging me out of the past and into the web. Love ya, Lisa

That's A Frickin' Big Shot!

Lisa, Michelle and I went to see Sex and the City on Friday night, so, of course, we had to have a shot before we left the bar. This was actually the biggest frickin' shot that I think I've ever had. Notice how Michelle and I enjoyed it so much, in photo #2! Ha ha!

The movie was great except the screen went blank right at the wedding dress scene and we missed a few minutes of what was probably a good part. Oh, well.

I had a cosmo with one big side of 'cliche' beforehand -- but it still tasted good. We also had some tapas and one of Michelle's friends and her husband joined us! Too funny. Hope you girls in Clermont get together and go! XXXOOO ASB

A BOHO LOGO!

Ladies,

Take a look at the awesome logo Lisa Swift painted on this basket! It was part of a housewarming gift she gave to me this past weekend when she came to our pool party! IT IS AWESOME! Lisa wants to refine it a bit, but I think we're definitely close to having a logo we can put on this blog and some t-shirts and other stuff for next year's gathering! Thanks, Lisa! You Rock!!!!

Perfect Opportunity for a BOHO Gathering

Ladies,

The Sarasota BOHOs are scheduled for a Girls Night Out on Friday night to see the new Sex and the City movie and have some Cosmos! Hope you Clermont and other BOHOs follow suit! If you do, take pictures and post them later! We will! I am dying to find out what happens with Carrie and Mr. Big.

Lots of love, Alisa
