Random Thoughts

As I sit here on this random Wednesday, my thoughts are this:

1. turn down the freakin volume. there are currently 5 children under the age of 5 talking/yelling/playing.

2. i am warm for the first time in days. this has an impact on me, because i am rarely cold.

3. why in the world would you make child size gloves that are not waterproof. duh!

4. laundry never ends.

5. despite my love of winter, i am not ready for SNOW! so the 3 inches in my yard better melt fast.

6. i cannot get used to Greg's new work schedule.

7. wow wow wubbzy makes me want to shove a sharp object in my ear.

8. dishes never end.

9. i want to make cinnamon rolls and cannot find the motivation to do such.

10. a nap would be so nice. too bad it is all a fantasy.

Las Vegas Ladies

The first week of October I was able to slip away for some much needed girl time. And I do mean much needed! The girls and I boarded a plane for the hour long flight to Vegas after some 3 months of anticipation! When anyone asked what our plans were, we told them we were going to Vegas to eat. And we did that a lot. We also shopped and shopped and had some hilarious moments that will hopefully be enough to carry me through to the next trip we get to take together. First things first. Let me introduce you to my friends who were kind enough to run away with me.....

In the gray here on the left we have my sista-cousin Amy, her bestie Jodi, that would be me in the purple, and last, but not least in the polka dots we have Heather, my BFF. I am not one who usually buys the pictures that they take at these places and charge a ridiculous amount of money for, but since we all looked pretty darn good in this one, I forked out the eleven bucks. And really I am glad I did, we had a hard time getting pictures of all four of us. This was lunch on Tuesday at Cabowabo at Planet Hollywood. That place had the most ah-mazing poblano cream sauce I have ever tasted. It was so good we were dipping our chips and fries in it. Our waitress even made us ice water to go.....super nice. We enjoyed the buffet at the Paris (twice) and Cheesecake Factory, only because Jodi have never had the chance to indulge there before and Chinese at Chin Chin as NYNY. Lovely! We had a ball. Found the best place ever to stay.....just off the strip and the pool was open until 11! The hot tub was amazing after a day of walking. Oh, and how could I ever forget the Premium Outlets.....got a little something at Kate Spade and Dooney and Bourke. Ahhhhhhhh!

Now is it back to home to dishes and laundry and carpool. But I am good. I had a chance to spend a few days with some of the best friends a girl could ask for. Maybe it was Vegas, or maybe I am really just that lucky.

From the mouth of babes comes the funniest stuff ever!!
