- She doesn't think I should try out for American Idol after hearing me sing to my IPOD! (I was crushed!)
- She is not afraid to tell my husband she has to pee even when he has told us a million times he is not stopping every hour! (We really just wanted to see how many times we could get him to stop. So we had several "Fake Pee" breaks.)
- She has no fear of inner city urban neighborhoods! (Just like me and completely unlike Wally!)
- She will squeeze her arm into any crevice in the car that my kids ask her to, to get something they have dropped. Seriously! Even if it means her arm will be stuck for many many miles (because Wally won't stop to help, as mentioned above).
- Since she got her new stylish, groovy hairdo, a family of 4 can get ready faster than she can!
- She will actually try seafood if someone else orders it for her and tells her it's okra.
- She convinced everyone that being 37 and single is "NOT" an alternative lifestyle!
- She is not afraid to float out in the Gulf of Mexico even when her BFF is yelling, "Julie! Julie! You are really far out there! Don't you watch shark week? And I don't even want to tell you what happened to Alex Kitner on Jaws!" She just laughs and floats out farther and farther into the deep blue sea.
- She is not afraid to spend oodles of money to purchase any and all available bathing suits on the open market! (That was fun!)
- She started off the vacation like an Olympic Triathlete, but after a week with my family... she collapsed and almost died like Aunt Edna on National Lampoon's Family Vacation! We seriously thought we were gonna have to strap her to the top of the car with her cell phone ducked taped to her body on the way home. It was touch and go people!!!!
Actually, I learned a lot more! But honestly, I had a great time with you BFF and I am really glad we didn't kill you on our vacation. Not everyone gets to spend a full week with the family and friends they love so dearly and I feel extremely lucky that you were willing to spend that time with us! It was a trip I will never forget. Thanks pal!

Hey thanks for letting the old single friend tag along on your family vacation... I learned a lot too, like don't eat frog legs that look just like a person's butt and legs...they don't taste like chicken! You're right, though, most people don't get a lot of chances to spend a week on the beach with their best pal, so I'm really glad you put up with my pee stops, throwing up, snoring on the balcony, and getting my appendages stuck in places...we single people are high maintenance! And now that I watched Jaws I, II, and part of III this week, number 8 on your list really hits home! You know a school of fish swam around me out there...they were probably running from a great white! Thanks for the list pal and for the vacay! Wish I was back on that beach right now!
