[Vacations: Where To Go, What To See, Where To Eat]

Can anyone offer advice on things to do and places to stay in Florida in February? I'm hoping to escape the soul-crushing PNW winter for a week. I'll be traveling with a 3-year-old so I'm looking for some warm weather, low-key attractions (he loves animals), and a home base where we can cook for ourselves and possibly enjoy a pool or beach. No theme parks this time. History nerd that I am I'm leaning toward St. Augustine or Key West with a visit to Dry Tortugas. I've also heard great things about the gulf coast beaches but know very little about them or what other activities are around, apart from avoiding the $cientologists in Clearwater. 😁 

Any help?

Wow, this news has shocked me out of lurkerdom.

Congrats to Christine.  The passive response from Kody is typical as if he had no responsibility in the matter.

I'd LOVE to see how the other wives respond...or don't.

Can somebody please cast Tennille Read in something as Morena Baccarin's little sister? In some scenes the resemblance was uncanny.

Also, I was today years old when I learned that she and Darryl Bell (Darryl from A Different World) have been together for 27 years!  Holy cow.

Vanessa with Darryl?!?!  My mind is blown.

I was hoping for one last scene with Mr. Mehta, but otherwise for being an unplanned series finale that was pretty darn good.

Tom is selling his house.

Is he going broke?

It's been a while since I've read anything new about this, but I think the rumor was that he's going to live 100% at his fancy new penthouse in Clearwater.

I've only been twice so I'm no expert, but when your snowshoes are so completely buried they're invisible something seems off. Maybe if Savanah had had a proper pair she would have enjoyed it more.

I couldn't help but notice that in the video about their "shared" home in Lehi, Meri's apartment is the only one that has a wood burning stove.  Apparently, she always has to have the extras. 

Well yeah, it would be shameful to deprive the horde of phantom children she didn't have.

I had better nip this in the bud.

 My March 8 post: "I don't know how true it is but I read somewhere that they both plan to wear rompers.  Yes rompers!!"

It wasn't mentioned on the episode, and I think I may have read it on reddit but it was an unsubstantiated rumor as far as I know, and I should not have repeated it unless I knew it for fact.  Sorry about that. 

It comes from the episode where either Maddie or Mykelti was wedding dress shopping and Mariah wandered off to look at bridal rompers. Because this show always needs filler that mundane moment actually became a couch topic. Audge was not yet in the picture.

Stacy is usually so deadpan. I loved her in this ep, and that she had a time to shine (literally, in that gold dress).

It's going to be weird seeing Daniel Brühl as Zemo again after 2 seasons of The Alienist. I don't know if I'm ready for that.

I didn't even think of that, but frankly I'll take all the Daniel Bruhl I can get.

Found it interesting that Kody asked Robyn if she had child care lined up for Thursday night when they were planning the road trip.

Ugh.

I didn't watch this ep, but this line really resonated with me.  (And I can't believe I'm somewhat coming to Robyn's defense, here!)  So the wives are expected to line up their own childcare, manage their household moves, resolve all fights between children, procure financing for their own houses.  WTF does Kody actually do all day every day?  And what does he actually take responsibility for?  He clearly wants to be treated like the Head Honcho but in actuality contributes jack sh*t.  It's so gross.  Fly like the wind, ladies.

This conversation has made me realize that I don't actually know what Eva Braun looks like.   I mean, I know of her and if I saw a photo of Hitler with a woman I'd guess it was Eva Braun, but if she was on her own I wouldn't be able to pick her out of a lineup.  Off to read some history so I don't get accused of being a St. Olafian...

I really enjoyed this episode but was kind of upset when Colin Mochrie's name appeared 30 seconds into the credits and gave away the whodunnit.

[S15.E01: Being Strong or Being a Bitch]

I haven't been able to watch in almost an entire season but this episode popped up on my DVR and I just had to see for myself if the mask was slipping as much as y'all said it was.

Hoooooo, doggies.

The ONLY time there was any joy in Kody's voice was when he was in the presence of Caleb his grandbabies.  He's even talking back to and/or blowing off Robyn on the couch.  I agree with whoever hypothesized that he's done with all the ladies and wishes he could ride off into the sunset with Caleb.

Of course Meri had to "work" the whole time Maddie visited.  Those tweets to her gay BFF don't just write themselves, you know!

Hearing these goofballs discuss housing and finances is like listening to my toddler's idea of a recipe.  "I stir Legos, water, and stickers together with a broom and out comes chocolate chip cookies because that's what I want!!"

And finally, if my husband ever referred to the time we spend together as, "coming over," there would be serious problems.
