I never thought this would happen.

I love sushi!

I just recently came to this realization.  For many years I was pretty blah about sushi.  I would eat it but I would rather be eating something else.  Everyone told me that eventually I would learn to love Sushi.  Here is me admitting that you were right.

The first time I actually really enjoyed sushi was at Sushi Roku in Vegas.  I picked out a few safe options.  Scallops, yes I like scallops, let's do that.  Throw in some California rolls because everyone seems to like those.  My sushi arrives and it was a delicious party in my mouth.  Now I crave sushi on the regular.  Who is this girl?  It's like I don't even know me anymore.  I'm still bad with the sushi lingo.  I like the menus with English descriptions so I don't accidentally order eel.  Sorry, can't do it. Eels freak me out.

Now if only I could figure out how to properly use chop sticks.

Zebra flip flops.

I'm sitting at work with my zebra flip flops on.  My feet still have blisters from trapezing around Vegas in four inch heels.  My pinky toes seem to be back to their normal size.  I paid $50.00 for those shoes and I don't think I'll ever wear them again.  I'm afraid of them. 

I'm trying to wear appropriate foot atire at work but it's quite painful.  My foot pain is also a constant reminder of Vegas which is making me a bit sad this morning.  This time last week I was on a plane heading to Vegas.  Now I'm sitting at my desk trying to hide the fact that I'm wearing zebra flip flops - which were purchased in Vegas. 

Being back from vacation is rough!

On a bright note - the weather is going to be great for the long weekend.  Looks like the zebra flip flops are here to stay.

The flashing lights and ringing bells

I've returned from Bloggers in Sin City.  I'm exhausted and I have swollen pinky toes but I had the best time!  I love Vegas and I love bloggers.  I feel like I need to do a separate post just for all the dancing pictures.

The AWESOME Vegas

• The GO rooms at the Flamingo.
• Brandy and I doing "the dragon" all weekend and the baby panda pose
• Meeting Carly and Bob, my fellow Bostonians
• Nico's dance moves including the misleading robot
• Sunny pool time
• Bottle service at Chateau Nightclub on the roof top
• Absinthe at Cesar's Palace.  Everyone loved this show.
• Delicious food.  Seriously, I had some amazing scallops and burgers.
• Brandy tweeting from Nic's phone.  I love those two.
• Cutting the line at Pure VIP style
• Champagne and late night burgers
• Surviving the apocalypse

The NOT SO Vegas

• The blisters and swollen pinky toes thanks to my cute black heels.
• The $5.00 bag of Cheetos.  I mean they were delicious but seriously Vegas?  Come on!  I'm just eating processed crunchy cheese dust here!
• Leaving at 5:30 a.m. to fly back home.

I so learned my lesson with the heels.  I just can't rock the four inch heels.  How do you ladies do it?  I am packing flats, wedges and low heels next time.  Not worth the pain even if my shoes and legs looked good.  Blisters and swollen pinky toes are not hot.

I'm surprised that I'm only tired and not dying.  In one night I drank mixed drinks, shots, champagne, wine and beer.  There really is something in the air in Vegas.

As you can see my NOT SO list is pretty lame.  I had the best time!  Thank you so much Nicole for once again putting this all together. If you're thinking of going next year, DO IT.  You will not regret it.

I'm ready for you Vegas

Boston has been a dreary wet mess pretty much the whole month of May.  Vegas has been the ray of light on the horizon and tomorrow I'll be there!  Bags are (mostly) packed.  Apartment is (fairly) clean.  Kitty has received many cuddles.

I should be sleeping but I'm waiting for my toenails to dry.  Fingernails did not get a complete polish change because I ran out of remover.  Girls problems are rough sometimes.

Germana is coming this year which makes the trip even more exciting.  We'll probably nerd out and read the whole time on the plane but that's how we roll.

How on earth am I going to fall asleep?!

17 days

I can't contain my excitement for Vegas.  This morning I woke up and whispered to myself "17 days".  I am crazy and I need a vacation folks.

I've been having dreams about Vegas.  In most of them I'm hanging out with Khole Kardashian - my favorite Kardashian.  Yes I have a favorite Kardashian.  I think she would be so much fun to hang out with and maybe this is a sign that it will happen.

I'm now on a mission to find a cute cheap Vegas dress.  I'm thinking gold but I don't think gold goes well with vampire white skin.  I'm not "tanning" for a dress.  Say no to skin cancer.  And if you actually think I could tan if I wanted to.  Well aren't you sweet. 

I'm like Jessie from Saved By The Bell right now.

"I'm so excited!  I'm so excited!  I'm so.....SCARED."
