The Word is OUT!!!

Invitations to the show have gone out into the world. Friends and family have officially been invited to next years Love Explosion in Fiji..The evite is supposed to be top secret so shhhh. This is so the people who are not invited won't feel some kind of way then force me to feel some kind of way. I may have to say things that some will call lies like "oh. I didn't know Liz didn't invite you." or "Liz must have missed your email address from my contact list." Notice that the general theme will be that it is Liz's fault. Ha! Sorry L.I.Z. but we all must do what we must do in tough situations - blame others. 

One thing that I am really excited about besides the fact that I will be in Fiji for 14 days on a dream vacation, is the celebrated Kava Ceremonies. Let me break it down.

The Kava ceremony is a major Fijian tradition.  It starts with the visitor bringing a gift of dried kava root, which is considered a narcotic but legal, to the head of the village or village elders as a sign of respect for the community. The kava party posse will then welcome you by saying "vinaka" which is Fijian for thanks (for the herbs my man.)  You sit down on the floor in a cypher, umm, circle around the bowl (yep, bowl not cup) on a little table with everybody that is about to get it crunk. The bowl of kava is passed then refilled around the circle with these instructions - You say "Bula" clap you hands once before accepting the bowl.  If you are a sucker you can say "low tide" and they will only give you a half a bowl of liquid loc juice as opposed to "high tide" which means in the eternal words of Rick James means "Give it to me baby" a full bowl. After drinking the entire bowl of Kava in one gulp hand the bowl back to filler upper person and clap three times.  This goes on in the circle until the chief says the party is over and stops drinking.  Kava ceremonies have been known go on until the next evening - can you say two day drugjuicefest? Guess what my peoples? There is a small band playing through out the event! Good good times.

It's all so exciting but I am still not PREGNANT!! UGH!! What do I have to do?

Oh yeah - have sex.
