Vegas!!!!



Vegas was a blast!!! We had so much fun! I ended up winning quite a bit at the roulette tables. :) I knew it was going to be a good trip when I won $62 at my first slot machine. We can't wait to go back.

We stayed at the Mandalay Bay and the pool was really nice, but filled up quickly. We had to get to the pool by 8am to get a seat--kind of a pain, but we were up anyway. We usually left the pool in the early afternoon, got lunch and then went sight-seeing/gambling/trouble-making until it was time to get ready for dinner.

The second day we were there, we got massages at the Spa. I absolutely loved my massage!!! Although, the guy kind of weirded me out by asking if I played sports because I had really tight legs. Umm...no. I saw Mr. B after his massage and I knew something happened just by the look on his face.

He didn't come clean until we were back in the hotel room. His lady told him to get undressed and get on the bed....and he did just that. He completely ignored the fact that there was a sheet on the bed. Wonderful. Ok, so now the woman comes back into the room and she must have thought, " Oh, God...not another perv." So he's on his stomach with his ass all out in plain view and she starts to lift up the sheets for him so he can 'shimmy' under them. Now, if that were me, and I was the one giving the massage, I would have said something like, "Oh, I must not have been clear....I'll step out so you can get under the sheet." So he says that he had to kind of caterpiller up (ass in the air) to get under the sheet, which means he was definitely all out. How freakin awkward???!!! I don't know how he was able to relax after that...ha ha ha!!

We saw "O" at the Bellagio and it was amazing!!! I don't know how those people do those things with their bodies; it's just crazy. I'm kind of jealous :P We had dinner at Olives and it was just ok...not great, just good.

I don't know what is wrong with people when they walk. They seem to take the path of most resistance. I mean, honestly, you cannot miss me!! Even if you're short you have to see my humongous feet all the way down there. I had so many people walk right into me and I'm standing there like, "Hello?! WTF is wrong with you people?! Did I magically transport back to Europe where that's the norm?!" Mr. B and I were joking that if I ever had the gall to be a stand-up comedian that The Path of Most Resistance would be the name of my schtick and it would be all about how annoying people are and how it seems like it's some people's jobs just to annoy others. I think it's promising, but I'd never go through with it. Maybe if I write a book I'll use that--no stealing my phrase! (unless I'm properly given credit, of course)

The plane ride home was HORRIBLE. We flew US Air and the have to be the most terrible airline ever. Not only do they charge you $15 for your first checked bag, but they only gave us one drink during our 4.5 hour flight AND there was no movie. CHEAP!!! The guy next to me was quiet and polite the entire 4 hours until the pilot said we were ready to land. We didn't land for another 30 minutes and the guy next to me was freaking the eff out. I thought I was going to have to stop him from taking the plane down. He was a raving lunatic--talking about how the Philly airport sucks, how the pilot doesn't know what he's doing, blah blah blah. When we finally landed he immediately took out his cell and started calling everyone he knew to talk about how horrible the Philly airport is and how he went to Vegas for a 15 minute interview. Whoop-dee-doo Mr. I'msoeffingimportant; who gives a flying eff?

Other than those few mishaps, the trip was great and very relaxing. Unfortunately, today was my first day back to work and it was drama-filled. Yay for welcoming Mrs. B back with open arms and rainbows :(....

Quick Updates

This weekend we're heading to Ohio to see Mr. B's dad. His friends are throwing him a surprise 60th birthday party and we're the big surprise :D It'll be a quick trip though; almost less than 24 hours. Kind of stinks, but we both have to get back to work Monday.

The rest of the summer is pretty much planned out, which stinks because it makes it seem so short. Next weekend we have a baby shower/55th birthday party. I'm excited to go because I can't wait to give the mommy to be the blanket I made for her little girl. I'm secretly hoping she cries and makes a big deal about it :P The birthday party is the father to be's dad. It's going to be an ish-fest and I might have to call out sick that Monday---yes, it will be THAT bad. LOL

The weekend after that we're doing a yard sale with my parents and then the next weekend we have my cousins HS graduation party to attend. After that, it's already 4th of July and then we have a free weekend followed by the chaos surrounding a party we're throwing. The next weekend it's my mom's birthday and then who knows...

1 Year & My 100th Post!

Yesterday was our 1 year wedding anniversary. I can't believe how quickly this year went by! It does not feel like a year at all and if the rest of my life goes by this fast, I'll be 75 in the blink of an eye.

We had a really relaxing weekend down the shore. The weather has been great so far and we definitely got some much needed sun. It was nice to just sit around and do pretty much nothing for a few days. We're heading back home today to get ready for our trip. We can't wait!! So far we haven't packed a thing and we still have to run out for some last minute things to take with us...definitely suntan lotion.

There are these really annoying kids next door that are having a yard sale for the second day in a row. For an hour now they've been yelling, "YARD SALE!!!" at the top of their lungs. Really kids, a sign would suffice, but you are too stupid and your parents are too hung over to care. I wish we could put up a 10 ft high fence with barbed wire on it to keep them away from us, but somehow, I think they'd still manage to annoy us. Oh well....note to self: teach Brinkley to attack small, annoying children :)

Legal Action

So we're finally in the process of taking legal action against our wedding videographer. This Saturday it will be one year since our wedding and that's one full year without our damn video.

We've sent numerous emails and mad many phone calls to our videographer and only received one email back in 12 months. It's completely unprofessional and it has to be illegal to just run away with people's hard earned money. Especially when it has to do with their wedding day.

To make matters even worse, our videographer posted a recap of a wedding he filmed 1 month after ours on his website. WTF is that?! I honestly just want the raw footage--if that even exists. Lesson to the wise: Don't use a 'friend of the family' for anything, and if you do, get everything in writing.

Stressed!

I feel like I'm losing my mind...I'm so stressed out about this week. Why is it that nothing can ever just happen by itself?! Why do stressful things have to come in two's or three's??? On top of everything that's going on I'm in a perpetual state of dizziness and fog. I don't understand it and I don't have time for it!

I'm obssessed with guacamole

I just made my second batch of the week and I ate it all by myself. It was delicious!! I'm pretty proud of myself because I've never made it before and although it wasn't rocket science (which I might be good at) it took some skill. I might have cut myself (twice) but it was so worth it!

I took the avocados and cut them in half long ways around the pit. Then you twist the halves and pull them apart. Put your knife into the pit and carefully twist the knife to loosen the pit and pull it out. Make a grid inside each half with the knife and scoop out all of the flesh with a spoon. Add lime juice, salt, pepper, garlic powder and cayenne pepper. Mix everything together while mashing the avocado with a fork until smooth.

Enjoy!

Rue La La...

...is shopping crack! I see something I like every time they have a sale, which is every day. I've been good so far and only bought 2 small things, but today I caved and bought this amazingly cute Shoshanna dress. I almost got caught by my boss drooling over Prada bags...a good time to ask for a raise, right?!
