It's Spring Break for us this week and I'm happy to say my job as event coordinator is almost over. (I don't know how parents that home-school do it. I praise you all!) I've tried to plan fun things for my girls, and their friends, however I think they've spent too much time together and I'm like Julie from The Love Boat trying to keep Zsa Zsa and Eva Gabor from tearing each others wigs apart. Oops. Is that referrence to obscure for some of you? Let say it's like trying to keep Mary Kate and Ashley Olson from tearing each others hair extensions out. You know what I need? A Virtual Girls Night Out!
A Virtual Girls Night Out (boys welcome too)is a social, blog-hopping party. A way for us to meet others without having to get out of cozy p.j.'s and fluffy slippers (Boys, I'm not judging ;->). The Virtual GNO is our chance to hang out with blog friends and hopefully make some new friends as well. Sign Mr. Linky below and join in the blog-hopping fun!
I'm feeling crazy today. Totally goofy. My girls have driven me bonkers and I know what will make me feel better this week.
Time For A Sing-A-Long!
Grab your hairbrush/microphone and sing out loud
"The Love Boat Theme Song"
Again! Again!
I feel a desire for something refreshing. Something that Isaac the Bartender would make just for me while I lounge on the Lido Deck.
Time For A Cocktail!
The Love Boat
Ingredients:
1. Vodka - 3/4 oz.
2. Coconut Cream - 3/4 oz.
3. Pineapple Juice - 1.7 oz.
4. Bols Blue - 0.61 oz.
Stir well and serve in a cocktail glass.
Ah... now my girls arguements don't seem to bother me as much. (I had never heard of Bols Blue. Click the name/link above to find out more :-> )
Time For A Party Game! And A Giveaway!
Oh, I'm not done with The Love Boat. (It's my happy place this week.) I'm going to throw out some words and it's up to you to use your creative writing skills. Time for the game:
"Captain Stubing Walks Into A Bar"
Turn these words into a silly, strange, freaky or completely wild little story.
**Lounge **Gopher
**Captains Table **Zsa Zsa Gabor
**Charo **Pacific Princess
**Lido Deck **Pool
I need something to lift my spirits after this week so I can't wait to read what you come up with. And since Spring is upon us I will be sending seeds to start your own Salsa Garden to the person who is the most creative. (And I know you VGNO guests! You're great writers which will make it hard to choose. I just might be helping to start a lot of gardens this Spring!) Confirm in the comments that you've participated. Good luck! (Winner chosen 4/2/09)
This week I would like to spotlight our friend Tasha of "Catch The Drift". She is supporting hand-made by hosting a fantastic "Esty Easter Extravaganza" giveaway. Please visit her site for all the current details.
Now go have fun! Sign in with Mr. Linky below to join the Virtual GNO. Visit those that sign-in. Go blog-hopping! That's what it's all about. And I would love to meet your blog friends. Post A LINK to our party on your blog and hopefully they will join us :->. Send our party into Twitter world. The more the merrier!

FIrst to arrive and I will also be last to leave this party tonight. I am with you Ann, I totally need a VGNO!
ReplyDeleteSo as for the game..... THis is a hard one.
After he grabs his drink, the captain heads for the LOUNGE and notices Zsa Zsa at one of the the Tables.
YEAH :)
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna post now.
Happy TGIF everyone!!!!
Happy VGNO! Oh, I'm definitely playing. This was one of my favorite shows back in the day!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the flashback video!
TGIF Ann! Hope you have a great weekend and gain some sanity back come Monday!
ReplyDeleteThe Love Boat, I used to sing that song every Saturday and then go over to Fantasy Island. And you couldn't tell me that place didn't exist. I'm sipping on a martini shaken not stirred cause coconut isn't my thing. Gopher took my bags up to my room and Issac made this drink pretty strong but now I'm seeing Tye Diggs at the bar without a shirt on. Good Lord, this is gonna be a fun ride. Here I go cruising. Hope to run into you.
ReplyDeleteHave fun tonight! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteCan someone please explain to me how Gofer got laid as much as he did? ;)
ReplyDeleteI used to looooove The Love Boat! I actually can't believe my strict parents let me watch it... given the debauchery that went on week after week. (Oh, Captain Steubing! Can I rub you bald head with suntan lotion?)
Happy GNO! I could use that drink about now.
I have my story written, see you at the party!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend.
I totally got the reference from the love boat but who are Mary Kate and Ashley???
ReplyDeleteAnyway, did you ever see the episode where...
Zsa Zsa Gabor and Charo were registering to be in the Pacific Princess beauty contest when they saw a handsome young man step out of the pool. Zsa Zsa said to Charo “Shou should Gopher hemm.” “No, no, no” said Charo, “ He has a Lido Deck.” “ Letz go ate some lounge at zi captain’s table and luke for hot men zsere.”
Happy Friday ladies!
ReplyDeleteOMG, now the Love Boat song is stuck in my head!!!!!!!! I did so love that show though. Saturday nights, 9 p.m., ABC. I miss it!
ReplyDeleteJustine :o )
My story is up and I am off to blog hop!!! Thanks for the fun times Ann :O)
ReplyDeleteHappy VGNO, Ann! Do you know how much I loved the Love Boat? Fantasy Island too.
ReplyDeleteI did my love boat little story!

I'm a first timer. I'm always up for a challenge and I'm participating in the game. Thanks for letting me join in the fun! Thanks Mrs. Cooper for hipping me to this.
ReplyDeleteI am pretending to enjoy the Syracuse game with hubby. Sure when I was there I had season tix every year and it was great fun, but I just can't get that invested anymore. VGNO is way more fun!
ReplyDeleteI am joining for the first time. Please feel free to guide me in the right direction if I am doing the wrong thing. *Which is very possible.*
ReplyDeleteI think I only watched the Love Boat a couple times when I was little, but I had fun making up a story! I can't wait to read everyone else's. Happy VGNO! =)
ReplyDeleteYou guys are VERY talented!!! I need to go buy more seeds :->
ReplyDeleteI've missed my Ann this week :) I had to live vicariously thru your mud bath.
ReplyDeleteRandom fact: The Love Boat Captain grad from the same lil college that I did. Funny huh?
Happy GNO!
My post is finally complete. I'm going to go rest my dilated eyes, and stop back by later hopefully. It's still early for all you left coasters, so I have plenty of time to PARTY!
ReplyDeleteUmmm nope, it wasnt too obscure of a reference. Gosh, did I just betray my age? Oh my.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for dropping by my blog today. What a wonderful treat to see some new names among the usual readers!
happy VGNO!!
ReplyDeleteI love VGNO, though (as you may have noticed) I started VGNO with a pic and Emma really liked that idea so she wants me to do that every time! lol however just wondering if there's something I'm missing ... do you announce the party theme somewhere or just on VGNO night?? Took me an hour to get tonight's pic done because I suck at photoshop so I use combo of picnik and paint! ;)
Dinners done, Kids are in bed and I am packed and ready to go cruising!!! Come visit me!!!
ReplyDeleteoh, sorry emma, yes, you really were on a boat, and you really did see a shark... my mistake!! excuussseee me! ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun idea! Following and off to check everybody's blogs!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy VGNO! Getting a glass of wine and am off to do some virtual visiting!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't wait for this day...Happy Friday!!!
ReplyDeleteThe love boat..soon we'll be making another run...the love boat...
Oh boy am I late to the party this week. What a great theme perfect to lead us into (hopefully) warmer weather.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I totally forgot to hit 'publish your comment' earlier tonight...Blonde Moment! ;)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely loved the Love Boat growing up - that was one of my favorite shows to watch when I was over babysitting the neighbors kids... :)
Happy VGNO Ann, you always throw a great party! :)
I have to tell you what happened. I have the Love Boat theme stuck in my head. So I though my hubby would enjoy it too. I walked in quietly singing, "It's an open smile...to a friendly shore..." then I flung my arms out wide and belted out, "the LOVE BOAT, soon will be making another run". He fell over laughing and asked me, "what brought *that* on?"
ReplyDeleteNext time warn a girl she has to wax before coming to a cruise party. Otherwise it is just NOT a good thing if you catch my drift! Isaac!!! Make my Love Boat a double!!
ReplyDeleteI never missed an episode of The Love Boat...or Fantasy Island. Man, I miss late '70's programming.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get to make it around for VGNO this week. I hate that too because I was a big Love Boat fan!
ReplyDeleteWhen you visit my blog be sure to leave a comment I'm giving away a bracelet!
ReplyDeleteI got the reference to zsa zsa and Ava Gabor!
I am late to the VGNO party...bah! The darn children keep stealing all my weekend away!
ReplyDeleteI thought I had left my blog info on the Mr. Linky last week, but who knows? I have checked out quite a few of these sites and am looking forward to getting around to all of them. Thanks for the party!!
