You want a recap, don't you?
Even though 14 other women recapped, you want mine, right?
Just can't get enough, can you?
Well...see, here's the problem...
I can't get in the zone.
I've tried.
It's Thursday, I got home Monday, and I'm still not feeling it.
No desire to do what I did last year.
Yeah, you remember my 5 day recap, don't you?
It's not going to happen this year.
No, this year, we're going to do a song.
Wanna hear it?
Here it goes:
Here's a story
About 15 ladies
Who decided they would all go
to the beach
All of them had
lots of luggage
like the others
(hey, I never claimed to be a song writer)
and we arrive-ved late
I shared a bed upstairs with Ms. Elastic
and shared a cabin with Aubrey
Glittersmama and Millie
We were 15 women
having fun together
Playing games all night
'Til the morning when we all went up to town-o
and we knew that we just had to go eat lunch
So we went to Mo's
and stood in line for hours
That's the way we all got to know the Bloggy Bunch
The bloggy bunch
(bada bah dah bah)
The bloggy bunch
(bada bah dah bah)
that's the way we became the BLoggy bunch
"Carrot, are you serious?"
"That was super painful!"
"You are so not a song writer!"
Okay, first of all?
I never asked for anyone's opinion,
and second of all?
There is no second of all.
FIne.
Since you didn't like my song, and couldn't match the song up with my lyrics, I will recap.
Thursday morning Elastic flew in, and I ran to pick her up.
She thought I forgot her because she didn't see me when she got off the plane.
What she didn't know is we're not allowed to go to the gate.
No, we all have to wait in a corral for our friends getting off their flights.
I took her to my house where she handed out gifts for my family.
I got some Ho-ho's because I'm a good ho-ho-hostess.
Little did she know.
The woman didn't even get dinner at my house.
Nope.
I forgot to feed her.
I dragged her all around the Pike Place Market with her sore back, brought her home, and she fell asleep.
Don't come to my house and expect to be pampered.
In the morning I sent her outside with a bowl and said,
"Sit down and pick all my blueberries, and don't come in until the bowl is full!"
She cried, but she eventually did fill it up and got to come inside when it was time to go.
"Carrot, you didn't really make her pick blueberries, did you?"
No, I didn't, but she wanted to. Honest.
You know what I'm thinking right now?
I'm thinking I need a new pillow.
Yeah.
That's my a.d.d. kicking in.
Anyhoo, we went up north to pick up Aubrey and Glittersmama. We got the kid-tour of Aubrey's place, while Aubrey was in the kitchen whipping up strawberry syrup for our weekend.
Who does that?
Aubrey does.
I'm sure she had Glittersmama grind the flour for the waffles too, because Aubrey is a from scratch cook, and Glittersmama is so nice she would grind it between two rocks if Aubrey wanted her to. Of course, Aubrey is too nice to make anyone do that.
So, we got on the road and headed out.
A few hours later, we arrived at our destination...
and saw this...
With a bunch of women surrounding it, and I was all "Is there an Beauty Pagent convention here?"
The end.

Aw Carrot...I was hoping you would recap. It makes the weekend keep on giving for me, so thank you. I look forward to the rest of your recap...
Yay! I'm glad you decided to do a recap! There are always things that I hear about happening on the trip and I think, "How did I miss that? I was right there..."
I will be waiting for your next installment! :)

I loved your song and I sang it inside my brain and it made me happy.
Yay for the lengthy recap ahead! I'm super stoked and have ALL weekend to read!
The recap is as good as it gets for me, and I love a good story.
I'm glad you're doing a recap too. I always love to hear what you're thinking. :)
Love you girl.
You rock. And a big thanks to aubrey for not making me grind the flour for the waffles!
Carrots are good for you.
A Carrot recap is the best. Yay!
Isn't Aubrey's home AH-MAZING? Love it. And yes...she would make syrup haha!
I love your commentary. Seriously...the.best.
I'm glad you're doing a recap :) It does sound like a really fun trip!
Did you let poor elastic have some blueberries when she was done picking them? Or did you make her give you a pedicure while you ate them yourself?
Looking forward to reading more--y'know, when you feel like writing it--and I'm still really bummed that I missed out on my own personal carrot-time. Oh well for me--hooray for you!
I'm loving everyone's recaps. Can't wait to read the next installment.
OKay since no one else can say it......I will... that was the best worst song I have ever heard or tried to sing-a-long with. LOL Just joshin it was fabulous. The blogging bunch! I wish I could have been there. I would have love to have met you! Maybe next time.:)))
Oh Carrot, nobody does it better. Wait, I really mean nobody, not me, but like---not one person.
Where was I?
I'm totally stoked to read this. I'm glad you gave in. I was feeling like a traitor because I gave in. I just couldn't resist...
I can't even tell you how much I love reading your blog even more now that i have your voice to go with it. I L-O-V-E it.
Please don't tell anyone about the time with the thing on that you know...
Hear! hear!!
I wished the bestest wish: I believe in Carrot's recaps...(and then I wished the most I have ever wished).... I believe in Carrot's recaps
and BOOM! As if by magic, Carrot recaps.
You are a song writer.
This was great....can't wait for the rest of the story! I love hearing it from other people's perspectives.
You forgot to tell everyone how my butt made the Carrot Jello landmark tour.
My rear touched the same toilet seat that Carrot touches. It also got to plop in Carrot's computer chair, dining room chair, and recliner. My derriere has never been so happy.
This post made me LOL through the pain of my creeping crud illness. I popped one of those V-din candies you gave me yesterday. :) It helped me sleep through the night for the first time since I've been home.
I can't believe Tori didn't comment on your song. I was sure she would recognize the tune. Maybe the tune is all in my head.
I love you recap. I wish I could write as funny as you do.
I regret not riding in the carrot mobile. I must be braver in real life next time.
I'm with glittersmama--
Carrots are good for you.
And I would totally stand in line for hours both to eat at Mo's and to get to meet the bloggy bunch.
Carrott! Looks like you are having fun as usual. Wow, you guys are pretty tight eh? sorry I have been non exsistant, i'm sure you didn't notice with all your many fans ;) my desktop died and it took me forever to get to other peoples blogs! so thought would say HI!
I write the songs that make the world go round---I write the songs, I write the songs...
I am music...and I write the songs...
But, sorry, maybe you shouldn't write the songs. Interesting trip, though.
Great song:)
I've read millions of recaps and I'm jealous.
Glad you all had a great time!
All your base are belong to us.
