I went to Las Vegas on Sunday morning – a 6:00 am flight – for Chelsey’s bachelorette party. After Saturday’s Tiara Happy Hour birthday party for Syd and Natalie, I headed for home to pack and get ready. Once Kymberlie arrived, I realized there was no point in going to sleep – it was after 1 am, and I was going to have to get back up at 3:45 to leave for the airport at 4:30.
I still haven’t recovered.
To be honest, I have never wanted to go to Las Vegas. I live in a city that is already way too hot. I don’t care if you tell me that “it’s a dry heat” – it’s a dry heat in my oven too, and I’m not about to stick my head in there. Also, once it hits 110 degrees, it doesn’t matter how dry the heat is. It is still too damn hot.
So I was surprised when I arrived in Las Vegas and was immediately hit with what a beautiful place it is. We went to the Hoover Dam, and that was really, really, really cool. Kymberlie stood in Nevada while I stood beside her in Arizona. Yeah, it’s the little things that amuse me.
We stayed at Treasure Island. We went to see “O” – the Cirque du Soleil show at the Bellagio. We didn’t get to see the Pirate show, it’s now been replaced with “The Sirens of TI” (truly cheesy, but hysterically funny). We rode the coaster at the Stratosphere. We had pedicures at the Canyon Ranch spa at the Venetian. We did the Bellagio lunch buffet. We saw the fountains there too, which were beautiful but made Kymberlie cry – so I proposed to her. On one knee, in front of the fountains, across from the Eiffel Tower at Paris. She said yes. We shared the news with everyone for the rest of the trip. We rode the Manhatten Express roller coaster at New York, New York. I took a TON of photos.
It was beautiful. Wonderful. The only thing that would have made it better would have been to have had Mike and Jason there. Oh, and for it to be about 80 degrees. I would definitely return, and I would stay at New York, New York. Man, that placed rocked.
We flew in to Houston at 1:20 am. I got home about 2:30 am, and didn’t get to sleep until 3:30. My head aches from sinus pain due to flying. I just want to curl up and sleep. When I do, I think I’ll be dreaming of a return trip to Fabulous Las Vegas…
Normally, I avoid eBay like the plague. Not because I hate eBay. Oh no. No, no, no… I love it. Too much. I have never been an eBay junkie because I see the writing on the wall and I would be trying to win every auction I found any remote interest in. That is a bad, bad thing. No, no eBay for me – I would get too sucked in to a deep, deep hole.
But now I’m helping Chelsey, aka Bridezilla, get the last details together for her wedding in 5 weeks. She has pulled me in to being her eBay bitch. She does not have an eBay or a PayPal account, but she saw on The Knot, cult of all good bridezillas everywhere, that you can find great prices on eBay.
The e-mails keep coming in with requests to bid on things for her on eBay. We bought her champagne toasting flutes on eBay. We are bidding on her veil and her gift card box … and we are WINNING! Winning! How exciting! I love winning on eBay! And I don’t have to pay for any of it! This ROCKS!
Whew. Ok. I’m calm now. But I think this is the way to go for eBay. Bid for other people, so that you are spending their money – but you get all the thrill of the win!
13 minutes to go on one item, and 2 hours and 14 minutes to go on the other … and we’re still winning! Yes!
The “Beauty School Dropout” scene in Grease – you know, the one with Frankie Avalon singing to her about how she should go back to high school – is really, really strange at 2 in the morning.
And how about the Greased Lightning scene? If I can’t have the pink hair, I want a hot rod with a clear hood.
Speaking of clear things and weird movie moments – anyone remember that movie from the late ’70s or early ’80s where the big fashion rage is to have jeans with clear plastic in place of the back pockets? (No, I’m not making this up.) For the life of me, I can’t remember the name of that movie. Hmm…
I can’t believe that in 3 hours, no one has had any questions for my guest author, M.J. Rose and the Virtual Book Tour. Let me point this out… if you ask an interesting question, you get a FREE BOOK! A really good book too! Free! Just for asking a question!
