Viva Las Vegas!!!

Well, I'm back from Vegas. You'd think that I was there for 3 weeks for the lapse in blogs posts, but really, I just had nothing to talk about. I'm not one of those people that calls someone "just to talk" unless I have something important to say. Well, I finally have something important to say.

 
I had a Girls Weekend in Vegas last weekend. It was my first time away from Mister and Matt for that long. Actually, I don't think I've been away from Matt for that long ever, and the longest I have been away from the boy was 2 nights. I didn't think I would miss them as much as I did. Matt would call nearly every night to let Mister say good night to me before he went to bed. He would get on the phone and say, "Haaaaaaiiiiiieeeeee". It made me tear up every time.

 
We stayed in the ever classy establishment, Circus Circus. It was pretty 1970's fabulous. Actually, it wasn't all that bad. The beds were very uncomfortable, but when you're out until 3:00 AM, really, anything will do. I didn't get to do all of the things I'd like to, but again, when you don't get up until 10:00 AM, and then spend 2 hours at the pool, you sort of run out of time quickly.

 
We did manage to see Madame Tussauds wax museum, the Thunda from Down Under, Excalibur Casino/Hotel, Luxor, The Pirates and Whores show at Treasure Island, O'Sheas and their "Dolla Dolla Drinks", and we got heat exhaustion while walking to Cozymel's. All in all, a great trip.

 
Oh, you wanted to see some pictures? Of course.

 

 
O'Sheas Casino. The concierge said we did NOT want to go here because it was lame. We beg to differ.

 
Why, hello Mr. President....

Now, you may not think this picture is much, but this picture immediately preceded my Vegas injury. I twisted my ankle wicked bad trying to dash across the street to avoid oncoming traffic after taking this picture. So not worth it.
 
There were a lot of memories made on this trip. Several phrases that will be used as blackmail, "I like me some Smokey the Bear....RAWR!" and some that may just stay in our general conversation, "Don't you juuuudge me". I'm already looking to make this an annual event...however, ladies...more near the middle of the strip next time puh-leeze?!
 
And my fun thing for the day: I stole this from one of my BabyCenter boards. I LOL'd a lot:

Why My Toddler is Like My Drunk Friends
  • They are so much fun, they are always dancing around, doing something crazy...
  • The fall over and trip all the time, and they act like it's no big deal...
  • They talk a ton but don't make much sense and you say "that's great honey" even though you don't have a clue what they are talking about.
  • They can go from laughing to crying in under a second.
  • They need your help putting them to bed...
  • They will randomly give you hugs in the middle of a conversation and tell you they love you.
  • If you take their drink away from them, they freak out...
  • They will talk to anybody, doesn't matter if they've never met before.
  • Your needs are completely none of their concern...
