Help!! I am trying to plan a family vacation and don't know where to go. We would love to rent a house/cabin on a lake for a week, but we are unsure where to go. We really only want to go 2-3max hours North of the Twin Cities. If the area has some cute restuarants and shops that would be great too! I'm not looking for commercialized as much as I am cute, quaint and quiet. It will be our first family vacation in years!
Here's a look at 10 things women say that drive men nuts.
1) "That looks cute." For the most part, men hate cute. We don't want to hear about it, we don't want to see it, and we sure as hell don't want to be it. If we come down stairs after getting dressed and you tell us we look cute, there's a 100 percent chance we're changing. We're supposed to be your protector, your rock, and cute does not fit into that picture.
2) "We need to talk." These four words shut off a man's brain faster than long division. When men hear you say that they immediately go into flight mode. And anything they can do to get out of this conversation-and better yet, your apartment-they will. There are plenty of other ways to approach a delicate conversation, and getting us in a place where we feel comfortable is a good start.
3) "It's just a game." Actually, it's not just a game. Sports are a major part of our lives and the outcome has as much to do with our mood as just about anything else. Is it fair? No. Is it right? No. Is it immature? Maybe. But it's life. Sometimes we just care too much. We understand that it doesn't make sense, but you should be happy that we're that passionate about something. Telling us that "it's just a game" is like us telling you that Oprah's just a talk show host.
4) "Nothing's wrong." Please don't tell us nothing's wrong. The look on your face could make the toughest guy on the planet weep like a third-grade girl and your arms are crossed so tight you might explode. We're not mind readers; tell us what's going on. And don't make us guess because-believe me-you won't like what we come up with.
5) "I sound like my mom." The mere fact that you might turn into your mom someday scares the hell out of us. Don't say it, even in jest-it's not funny. We actually believe (and pray) that the saying "every woman ends up looking like their mother" is an old wives' tale. If we didn't, no one would ever get married.
6) "I just want to be friends." No you don't. You just want us to stop calling you. This is a lot like pulling off a band-aid. Do it quick-don't prolong the agony. Most of us take "I just want to be friends" as "There's still a chance," so if there isn't just make it a clean break and move on. Everyone will be much better because of it.
7) "It's Not the Size of the Ship...." Don't lie to us. We know it does, and we're doing our best to make up for it in other ways. It's best just to not say anything at all.
8) "What are you wearing?" We're wearing whatever's clean or whatever you tell us to. We don't plan out our wardrobe days in advance, but we do actually try and look presentable. It may not work a lot of the time, but we do give it a shot. Giving us direction is completely encouraged though, so go ahead and suggest ... nicely.
9) "Which outfit do you like better?" I'm going to be honest here-90 percent of the guys out there are not going to tell you which outfit they like better: They're going to try to pick the one you like better and not get into a holy war when the babysitter is due any minute. To us, you always look good. Getting a couple cocktails and spending as much time as we can without the kids is our ultimate goal for a rare night out.
10)Do youthink she's pretty?" Of course we do, our standards are much lower than yours. But just because we check her out doesn't mean we think any less of you. We try to be as discreet as possible, but for the most part, we can't help it. It's in our DNA. When an attractive woman walks by, it's best to just pretend nothing happened.
Little crazy this morning at KS95! If things sound a little different, yes Greg is out on vacation AND we have a new computer system. I think a lot of my friends don't even realize that at KS95 we run all of our music and commercials off of computers, so a new computer = a little caos this morning. Hang in there with us...it'll get better and Greg WILL come back. If not I'll go and bring him back! ♥ BTW...Picture is Greg & Hannah Banana.
Cheesy as it may sound I'm really missing Greg after doing the show solo for one morning. We may tease each other a lot, but we really do get along great (at least I think we do??). I met his mother at my Cub Foods remote on Saturday in Hastings. What a sweet lady. Thanks Mary for coming out!
Also, thank you to all of our Hastings listeners. It was great meeting you and hanging out. What a picture perfect looking town. The bridge...downtown...beautiful! I'm going to be out moving end of the week and am so excited to move into our MN home. Despite the snow today it is a true joy to be here. BTW...Greg is on vacation in Cabo. Hanging out with Sammy Haggar at Cabo Wabo from what I hear. I think that is Greg's hand and Bic lighter at the bottom of the picture.
Hi! Okay, crazy week as Greg is gone and it's just me, Zack, our Executive Producer and Kristin (Assoc. Prod.) in the studio. By the way, despite what you may hear Greg is in Cabo. Not rehab...not that you would hear that! You just never know with that Moon & Staci...especially Keith The Producer. Not sure what tomorrow's show will bring, but I love that you can now send us your thoughts and input. Also, check out some of our pictures. I know we are both working hard at getting a bunch of them up.
grateful
