Two rights don't make a left

I can't believe it's already been three whole weeks since Paula and I were living it up in Vegas for our annual February birthday celebration!

The fact that it's been THREE weeks since I've been able to even post anything about it, should tell you that it was a looooong recovery once we were home!

Don't get me wrong!

I loved every freekin minute of the self inflicted punishment I put on myself that would need three weeks to recover from!

Lot's of dancing [leg bruises on the backs of my legs from chair dancing], walking, drinking and laughing.

Not so much of sleeping, lounging, eating, or washing hair!

All of the above things just became a hassle that we didn't have time for!!!

We were in VEGAS dammit!!!!

Bing Bang Boom!

Keep it moving!

Keep a buzz!

Keep giggling!!!

Keep applying skin plumping cream to disguise the tired skin dripping off our faces,

and Keep a hat or a bun on your head and nobody even knows the dif!

We boarded the plane leaving SLC early Friday morn.

I was already exhausted and needed a spinal adjustment from the HUGE/HEAVY bags I chose to pack.

I was pissed at myself, but I know I will over-do it again next year!

I'm a habitual mass packer!

Hey!  If the plane goes down, and we are stranded in the middle of Vegas for two weeks, guess who the gals are gonna be ass kissin for a clean pair of panties and glitter-open toed wedges!

They sure as hell won't be bugging the girl that throws a dress and a t-shirt in a backpack and hail marys her way to look rockin on the dance floor!

NO!!!!!

It will be moi!

Everyone will wish they were friends with me and my Big Bertha Bag!

To the left is Paula's accessory case.

The one to the right would be mine.

You get the point!

After unpacking and filling every drawer, closet and counter space, a lil break was needed.

We pulled two chairs up to the window, popped the top off a can of Bud Light, and proceeded to stare at our magnificent view of 

smog and a parking garage!

I had to blink and pinch myself to make sure what we were seeing was real.

A man and his backpack [I initially thought it was a child!] climbed to the top of the parking garage and sat on a peak.

Paula and I nervously watched as we expected to be the only witnesses to him jumping to his death.  My heart skipped when he threw his backpack/imaginary child to the ground.

This was just too much!!!  My pits were dripping, I chugged two more beers without realizing it, and I wondered why I was so sick and wrong to want to watch a man end his life....

not to mention, 

IT'S VEGAS AND I'M IN MY HOTEL DRINKING CANNED BEER LOOKING AT A GARAGE THAT NOW HAS NO MAN ON IT!!!!

[IMALAHOOOOOOZER!]

I assume he climbed off the ledge and made his way down safely since I couldn't see a splot on the pavement below.

Luckily at that moment my obsession turned to the phone.

[I am very easily distracted.  Blame it on my ADD]

I received a call from Amie [my Colorado Gingy] who was staying in the hotel next to us with her hubs and their friends. 

They were already three sheets [From the gallon of Jager they bought on the Indian reservation!  When your liquor comes with a PUMP because it's too heavy to pick up and pour, then you've got some drunken days ahead!]

They came to our room hootin and hollerin!  We were all so happy to be together and having so much fun that I wouldn't have been surprised if we had security knocking on our door to "quiet down".

Thankfully we didn't.

Mike and Amie's daughter Jordan surprised us all with her pop-in visit from Cali.

It's a crime to be that beautiful!

Warning: Don't show this picture to young children.

Reoccurring nightmares of the big eyed duck face lady can be traumatizing for years.

Awe....shes such an angeldevilangeldevil

There's nothing like a Bloody Mary to get your hangover gone and your day started on the right foot!

This one had shaved chunks of horseradish!

AHHHH!!!  It was kick A!

We had some great food, drinks and service, but our budget was running low and it was only the second day!

We decided that we would need to start sharing meals because $60 for two burgers, bloody mary's and a basket of fries would make us homeless fast!

EVERYTHING is so damn expensive in Vegas.

Wish it was more affordable because paying that much for food

 always leaves a bad taste in my mouth!

I was drawn to a Mystical Unicorn penny machine.

I have some kind of reason behind playing certain machines.

They have to have personal meaning or in some way has a relative picture to someone I love.

This particular machine reminded me of Chelise because she is always saying "Unicorns and glitter".

I sat down and within 3 spins, the entire screen filled with unicorns and glitter!!!

I walked up to the room with my $700 and told Paula, 

"We be eating good now baby!"

It's a given that we wreck our feet in heels the first night dancing.  And then every night thereafter, we are stuck wearing flats!

I was brave on the second night and ventured out in platforms.  We made it as far as the cab, and said, "Screw this!!!!  I'm putting on my flip flops before we get to the House of Blues!"  I reached into my bag and was horrified when I  pulled out a brown and a black flipper flopper.......

BOTH RIGHT FEET!

ARGH!!!!!!!!

Trust me!

Two rights don't make a wrong left!

No matter how hard you try.....you just CAN NOT pull it off!

We met some awesome people throughout our stay.

We always do! Paula and I both enjoy talking to new people from all over the world.

It's our opportunity to feel like we live in a melting pot of a large city.....even if for only a few days.

The above picture is Paula dancing with our "Mexican Chelise"!!!

We adored her!

Paula said to the Mexi-Chelise, "OH!  I just love you!!  You remind me of someone I love and miss terribly!"

The hair, the face, the booty, the moves......she is Chelise's twin! 

We also met a guy that looked and sang just like Bruno Mars!  And a lil gal that could dance the beat out of a song, and reminded us of Jennifer Grey!  

And she even told us that, "nobody puts baby in the corner!"

I loved Paula's up-do that she threw together in less than 5 seconds!

Our all time fav fun spot is Carnival Court.

And it continued to NOT fail us!

Whew!!!  They had just re-opened it the weekend we were there. [Apparently they had been closed for months re-vamping the bar/dance floor.....although, we couldn't see any difference from the last 5 years we've been going there!  Maybe they chiseled the crud off the floor....

it didn't seem as sticky and I could see how that would take months to complete!]

One of these things is not like the other.

This couple is from AZ and we had a great time with them all night long at the C.C bar.

The dude was very generous with his tips and a gentleman in buying our drinks.

They were another example of people that made our trip an unforgettable experience.

After four full days of Vegas the wonderful, our Monday night departure made us sad to have to leave our freedoms of being irresponsible with time, money and intake behind.

Cheers my Paula-girl!

We did it again!

A trip that put a twinkle in our eye, reminded us that we are young and vibrant, that we could go a day or two or three without washing our hair, a continued buzz didn't let tiredness creep in, and expanded our ever growing friendship/sisterhood.

And of course how could I forget our bond in becoming Pink's friend!!!!!!

"What???? You saw Pink?" 

you ask!?!?!?

Damn right we did!!!  

And the story of how we got sold out tix is amazeballs!  

Just wait til you see the pics!

Pink story coming soon :)
