Entry # 1 - Cara - The temperature this morning is a brisk 55 degrees according to Krista who read it on one of the three televisions in our deluxe unit. The temperature in the shower is also a brisk 55 degrees, but we have alerted someone of importance and she in turn is calling maintenance.
We arrived at Fairfield last night after 6:00 pm. worn out and beaten, except for Darcy who managed a nap in the car. I checked us in at the front desk where I was called Mrs. Mason the entire time, despite the fact that I told them I was Mrs. Mason's guest. I was given a folder full of information and coupons. I was signed up for the big sales pitch that all owners and guests attend every time they vacation, which in my mind is the main reason (among many, see 55 degree shower) why this organization will never see a dime from me.
Our unit is the Fountain Palms building situated between two pools and, thankfully, the tiki bar. We have two bedrooms, one king room and one two double bedroom. Krista and Natalie are in the king. Cara, Kelly and Darcy are in the double and Madison and Brianna are on the pull out sofa bed in the living room. The kids were tired and wired (except Darcy) and after a miserable dining experience at Ruby Tuesdays across the way and an exhausting grocery run, Krista whipped the kids soundly and put them to bed. Then the adults relaxed with some beer and wine. We slept soundly.
This morning we are currently enjoying a continental welcome breakfast in the breezeway of our building. There is food and music and Kelly and I have entertained one member of the serving staff (Alice) with our renditions of Barry Manilow, the Beach boys, and Blonde. The kids are in the other room enjoying arts and craft hour making turkeys and paper hats for Thanksgiving.
Krista has informed Lisa, another staff member, of our cold water problem and she too has called maintenance. Unfortunately, this was done after Kelly went back upstairs to shower so I'm heading upstairs so that the maintenance man doesn't end up accosted and in the shower with Kelly.
Entry # 2 - Kelly - Cara is talking/flirting? with a delicious blonde boy who works here. She is inquiring about the nearest liquor store. She has found out the tiki bar is closed. Apparently it is only open in summer? Wha? Anyway back to this delicious boy, who I would not guess at first glance is gay, but you never can tell. I just heard Cara talking to this guy about how she could only do it in brownies. Is she talking about what I think she's talking about? I'm sure she's only talking about walnuts.
Anyway, back to this boy. He has very sexy eyes, among many attractive parts which make up an attractive whole. Krista just informed that Natalie is having a conversation with someone who doesn't speak English. Her name is Marcia. I just overheard Cara mentioning "my husband" to this sexy boy. Good thing, unless he has a thing for OLDER married women, which could be good news for Cara. Now Krista is taking a picture of Cara with the sexy boy. Whew! The sexual energy here on the pool patio is really flowing. I need someone like him for a few hours at Christmas time. Darn he's not working tomorrow. He probably got a cheerleader or mode girlfriend. Time for a drink! Kelly needs some booze.
Entry #3 - Cara - 1:27 pm - Kelly has won picture frame Bingo! Her prize, which she gets to choose, is a drink ticket for the tiki bar which is being renovated and won't be open until Friday. BFD on that win.
1:49 pm. - Bingo is over, but Wayne, the delicious blonde boy, begged us to come back at 3:30 for Deal or No Deal. Wayne likes us. And seriously -- what's not to like?

Entry #4 - Cara - 7:49 pm - After two grocery runs and one absolutely stressful, frantic adventure to find a liquor store in this "god forsaken city", we are ensconced in our unit enjoying liquor, caesar salad, garlic bread, liquor, pasta, chocolate cake, liquor, lasagna, Klondike ice cream cones, and liquor. Funny how much better we find we tolerate the kids when we have liquor.
