Need some advice?
Where is the best place to make a potty stop when you are driving in the middle of nowhere and somebody REALLY has to go? How to get the most for your money on the fountain drinks on the ferry? Should you be embarrassed by teenagers when staging a scene from a fictional book?
You've got questions.
I've got answers.
Good Advice #1: When going on a girls weekend with 5 other ladies who are as obsessed with the Twilight series as you are,......pick Washington. Specifically, Forks. Home of Edward, ....and Bella,...and everyone else who is in those books.
Good advice #2: Make sure you are stopping and resting enough from your travels to enjoy fountain soda beverages at regular intervals.
Good Advice #3: Stock the car with snacks/junk food. That is a long trip from Seattle to Forks, yo.
Good Advice #4: Stage the scene where Bella almost gets hit by the van at the high school before Edward saves her.....at the actual high school. And don't be embarrassed by the REAL Forks high school football team watching you with disgusted faces as you do this. And don't forget that Edward is not real and won't come to save you...........cuz you might be disappointed. Not that I would know or anything.
Good Advice #5: Don't forget to do the usual Seattle touristy stuff like the Space Needle. That is a SRSLY high building yo.
Soooo many more stories and pictures to come later. But now for you questions, if you have any. Cuz I give good advice.

Great advice, Memz! Looks like you guys had a blast... can't wait to see more pix.
Great Advice as always!
Dear Memzy, what's the best way to handle a fear of heights when getting to the top of a like a SUPER tall building???
Thanks,
Frightened in Seattle
Cristin,
You muscle through it more 5.3 seconds and then run inside to stop from throwing up. Er,....wait,...that's exactly what you did! Good job! Srsly, you are so brave/blessed.
Dear AskMemzy,
What should I do if I just went on a flanktastic trip with some very flankily funny girls and now I am home and miss them soooo much that I feel like I have a hole in my chest? I literally have to wrap my arms around myself to stop my insides from spilling out! Whenever I am doing something dangerous I can hear "Na Naaaaaaa Na Na" so I am constantly putting myself in harms way just to hear a little bit of Human Nature! Help!!!

Dear AskMemzy,
What is the best way to get yourself to seal the deal while traveling? I sealed it three times myself, but I know of at least two traveling companions who were unable to do so and that last stop at Denny's just about put them over the edge.
Pleasant Poops to You,
Landee
How far was Forks from Seattle and does it have ANYTHING else going for it other than Edward and Bella?
Signed, Left by one of my best friend in Bako while she went to Forks,but I'm not bitter
Dear Memzy, How do you sleep at night when your hubby's not here and the house is empty, quiet and boring? I'm answering my own question: Leave the TV on all night. It works!!! And anotha thing--I totally know how to sign you off and me back on--I just wasn't quick enough to see it at first. I'm a dork.
Dear Memzy,
What is sealing the deal? For someone who thinks it is making sweet love, you all look like a bunch of perves.
Signed- about to throw up a little in my mouth in Boise-
Dear About to jump off a cliff--Luckily for you there are no cliffs in Nampa. Just do do any geocaching any time soon. Until then, putty up that hole with peanut butter until the next trip. That's what I've been doing.
Dear Pleasant Poops--I also sealed the deal twice while away. Those with other "issues" should bring colace (stool softener) and eat lots of bran muffins at the complimentary breakfast. Oh wait,...they tried that.
Dear Best friends in Bako--You would have fit right in girlfriend. ::super sigh:: And no, Forks had nothing to offer but Twilight. But isn't that enough?
Dear mom--I was gonna suggest the TV too. I do that myself when Shed is out of town. And glad you figgered out our little "name" dilemma!
Dear About to throw up--As you probably noticed up there^^ sealing the deal is in reference to poo, bowel movements and the like. But it can me a variety of things, one in which you spoke of.
Dear AskMemzy,
How many days in a row can I blog about our trip before people get mad and stop visiting my blog?
Signed, Totally not rubbing it in your face, just expressing gratitude and all that
That bottom picture is so awesome with ME & MY PANTS... then the rest of the gang and the space needle.
How do you handle coming home from one of the best times ever had, to your home totally demolished, even though your hubby took great care of everyone and even cleaned out the fridge and filled it with diet coke, but then forgot to mention the throw up in the upstairs bonus room never got cleaned up from 30 hours before? He did good on the "guilt free" part, just not the throw up cleaning up part.
Signed,
I don't want to be a "B" of a wife.
The trip looks amazing! Loved the pix. Was it freezing?
Dear Totally not rubbing it in--This is a quandry because I've wondered the same thing. I haven't even put a dent in my own pictures/stories. Let me get back to you on that one. Or we can put it out to the public to answer. I give my permission.
Dear Not a "B" wife--Lots of praise, lots of praise, lots of thank you's, then in between a "wha?", then lots of praise, then a "fer realz?" then lots of gratitude. Try it.
Vanessa--I thought it was freezing at certain times but I'm a wimp like that. Overall the weather was GREAT.
It's great that some people get to take these trips cause some other people don't get to and need to pretend they did by invisioning themselves in the pictures having a great time too. Love to read about all the other stuff to, makes my probs seem less significant.
To answer the "Not Rubbing It In" question, I say a month. And even after a month you can still mention it from time to time in passing.
Of course, I went on said trip so I may be biased.
First of all, I don't think you are at all rubbing in your uber fun vacay. I'm happy you all had a great time--just wish I could'veshould've been there, ya know? Bring on the pictures!!
My question is this: If you had the WORST toothache/sinus infection of ALL time, how desperate would you become before you just yanked it out yourself? Or, did something that is for sure against the Word of Wisdom? Just wondering, not like I would know or anything...
Dear Emily0--That word of wisdom thing has me curious. Hmmm. I have personally had severe tooth pain and was begging someone to knock me out before. The best suggestion I have is to drive to your dentist, bang on the door screaming and saying incoherent sentences, then cry, beg, and get the gas.
I wish you coulda gotten bigger eyes in that parking lot pic. Bigger eyes would have really sold it, ya know?
I love the Space needle/Amy's pants picture.
My own answer to the blogging about your super fun trip:
Blog about it as much as you want as long as you want, with a promise to do another fun trip again in the future with the ones who feel bummed they missed out. Problem solved.
