but, honestly, hospitality doesn't mean making someone feel that they owe you a debt. It means making someone feel welcome and comfortable.
So much this. This whole thing sounds way too tense and not nearly enough relaxing.
Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Fourthing. And fifthing, just because. You shouldn't have to come back from vacation more exhausted than when you left and it sounds like that's what you're headed for.

Ok. Hivemind help!
I've been planning on doing a "Talk Like a Pirate Day" party with the kids today. What would be some good kiddo age approved Pirate snacks (or something we could cook)? I'm so drawing a blank.

Goldfish, because of the pirate ships being in the sea with the fish and stuff. Hey, it's early.

Well, that's better than I'm doing. All I can come up with is liquor and stale bread. The first won't go over well with, well, anyone. The second the kids probably wouldn't enjoy. They'd think it was the dumbest party ever.

Oh, they have those chocolate gold coin things. Treasure is good.

I think realism is possibly not your friend here, vw.
You could make cookies shaped like swords or treasure chests or decorated with the skull and crossbones. Chocolate coins or other things to be treasure.
I'm blanking on non-desserty things.

This I realize.
Oh, the chocolate coins are a good idea!

There are also the cheddar and Colby Jack cheeses that are shaped like sunbursts-- I think Sargento makes them? With some saltines standing in for "stale bread," maybe?
Also Jell-O is good for almost anything.
