So I’m an aunt again – my first niece! Macauley/Bill and his wife Michelle had their daughter on Sunday evening. 7 lbs, 3 oz, 20 1/4 inches. Brown hair, eyes are TBD. YAY!!!!! I have seen a few pictures on Michelle’s Facebook and the happy family are adorable! Can’t wait to meet her!
Las Vegas, see you in 2022!*
So, we’re home. We’ve actually been home about 24 hours, though. The flights were fine and getting to fly first class from Las Vegas to Texas was really nice. I was reminded of this on the flight from Texas to Cheesecake City, which I spent in the middle seat between Gene and some twentysomething guy…
Last day…
I hate the last day of vacation. By this time tomorrow I will be in the sky, flying from Las Vegas to an unnamed city in Texas that rhymes with Chew-stun. (On the bright side, I have 3 words for you: first class upgrade!). (Seriously, like I didn’t pay enough for my flight, now they…
Holy cow it’s Wednesday???
(And the day is half over in the Eastern time zone??) So, yesterday. Gene was supposed to have lunch and dinner with various people from the conference he’s here to attend. I decided to take the monorail to the stop for the Venetian, the Mirage and (I think) Treasure Island, see what there was to…
Monday, Monday
(I am so boring. Why can’t I come up with zingy blog post titles?) Still no gambling, still no drinking. Still the dorkiest girl walking around Las Vegas. Woohoo! I had intended on getting out of the room by 9:30 (so I could enjoy a lovely buffet breakfast as part of my $35 all you…
And today…
(Today is Sunday still but it’s midnight in Cheesecake City). Got up, kicked Gene out of the hotel room (again). Bought a monorail ticket because I’d be darned if I was going to do that much walking again (hahahahah). Eventually met up with Gene and two of his coworkers and had lunch at Mandalay. After…
Weekend in Vegas…
So, I think I now understand why most people don’t stay a week in Las Vegas: After about 4 days, their feet fall off. (I take that back: I am pretty sure my mom could do all the walking I have done today and then go run a mini marathon. As you know, my mother…
Las Vegas (so far)…
A real discussion I had at work with D and Stefania: Stefania: Don’t talk to any strange people in Las Vegas! Me: But what if Robert Redford shows up and offers Gene $1 million for a night with me? D: I cannot believe how quickly that came out of your mouth. Something crazy that happened…
Leaving soon…
So, I have to leave for the airport in about 12 hours. Have I packed everything? NO. I have packed nothing. And I just remembered I need to do laundry. I did, however, print off our boarding passes for tomorrow’s air adventures. Actually, I did that at work (shh!!!) immediately after celebrating Gwen’s birthday lunch…
Classic rock?
Okay, fine, I’m 33 years old. I’m no longer clinging to the pretense of being 29. That said, I am deeeeeply offended that this week’s episode of Glee referred to U2’s song “One” as ‘classic rock.’ Seriously, guys, I was in high school when that song came out. Hell, I may have been in junior…
