after the past few months of broken computer, then no computer, and now all better computer i admit that i've been lax in my posting. but now there are NO MORE EXCUSES for me, so here it is.....
hmmmmm, let's see, what have i been up to?? well this past weekend i went to VEGAS, BABY, VEGAS!!!! it was a prophecy that was made in 1999 by a lonley sticker on a wall in london, and it has finally came true.
granted this was one quick trip to sin city, but well worth it. the major reason why i went was to watch my friends tom and jeanne get MARRIED!!
i still can't get over it, and i was there!! and my lovely date for the weekend was none other than mix master mel. it had been a whole month see we had seen one another in the big apple, so it was great to see her in such a short period of time - ya see, she lives in the city of angels, and we don't get to hang out all that often. but when we do, we live it up!!!! other college chums jp and leasy-lease were also in attendence. making the weekend a little girls getaway.
dateline friday - asfter landing i strolled the strip and hit the casinos. i tried to lose money in as many casinos as i could in a few short hours before i met up with andy - one of my 'boys'. he moved to vegas last year to work in politics - even though we're on seperate sides of the aisle, i still love 'em. he was kind enough to let me spend the night on his couch, and it was great to see him.
dateline saturday - the wedding - fantastic. it was exactly the personality of jeanne and tom. and jeanne, she looked GORGEOUS.
her dress fit her perfectly. and it was completely unexpected. the food and drink was good. and luckily for me and the rest of my crew, we were position at "rowdy table number 6". we got on smashingly with some of jeanne's friends and a good time was had by all....even if we did, literally, try to burn the place down (firemarshall jaime was quick on her feet, and helped quell the fire after the hillarious yet unfruitful efforts of mix master - though she did try, after all, she was the FIRST responder)
dancing commenced until they kicked us out, but don't feel bad people, we were in VEGAS. mix master called upon a close pal from her days in the blue grass state, mike, and was it EVER a hookup. mike just happens to work at TAO at the venetian on the strip. and we had the VIP service. we rolled up, walked through the velvet ropes, snickered at those waiting on line, and went right to where the action was!
a few drinky drinks in us, and on the dance floor we went...and no sooner did we get there when from the ceiling fell some fantastic foam!!! which really just made it look like we all had a horrible dandruff problem. dancing commenced, sweat dripping, and guys trying to cop a feel, all while packed like sardines trying to get out of the can. it was great!!! the dj was AWESOME. and there were even naked girls in a tub. the terrace provided some much needed fresh air every so often. and we danced the night away.
dateline sunday - what is a trip to vegas without a trip to a buffet? we met up with the rest of the wedding party for a champange brunch. i think i'm still full from it. but it was yum after a full evening. after gorging ourselves, the ladies and i headed out to hit the tables. $5 blackjack called us, and we obliged. this was my first time playing a table game (i'm not much of a gambler) and it turned out pretty well for me. i came away with $40 in winnings - not bad for some beginners luck. and mix master finally ended her 6 year drought when her "12" came up and she won some dough. we were defintely the big winners - take that vegas!!
after some gellato at the bellagio, it was time to leave sin city and go back to our normal lives. a quick trip to drop me off at the airport, and i said good bye to my girls (table 6 represent!!) and i was on my way back east while the girls went west.
it was a great weekend. too short with the girls, but just the right amount for the strip. i think next time i'm back in the desert, i'll head out to the mountains, or the dams, or a lake - a little scenery might do me some good, instead of just hitting "the scene".
but i do reccommend vegas at least once in your life - you can bet on that!!!!

You and my BFF look HOT. No wonder there were feel coping guys, I can only assume one of which was Andy.
you know what they say about those who assume....andy WISHES he copped a feel!!!
Good times, Funkmeister. Good times! And thank you for mentioning that I was the FIRST responder-- even if I was a bit tipsy and tried to blow out the flames with my mouth full of food...
I am still recovering from Saturday night.

The only picture couple to rival Mel and Dmize (the BFFs), is Cheryl and Melinda! You two crack me up!!!!!!
