Not 100%. Probably BF. I couldn't take a weekend alone with my mother. My 1 friend is already going to Vegas at the end of this month.

I did think about going to Florida, but I only have a 2 night stay so I wanted to make the most of it - so I'm going to Vegas baby!

Thanks white.

I am so excited.

Right before I left work last night I got an email from the travel department with a request form. I filled it out and faxed it back before I left work. I had to give my info, the person I'd be traveling with, emergency contact, destination and 2 choices of dates.
I put down Vegas and either the weekend of July 14-16 or August 11-13.

This morning the travel woman emailed me saying That was Fast!

I figure if we can travel on the first dates I choose - that gives me 1 month to plan and loose some weight fast.

I'm still in complete shock and awe.

Alright, I really have to try and get some work done today. It's just so hard.

Thanks Beth.

I'm going to Vegas. The dates are yet to be determined. The travel lady didn't call today I'm so darn excited. I need to loose weight so I can look good and feel even better in Vegas! I just want to see all the casinos.

My dad made my day today. He was talking about this weekend - he's taking me out to eat for my birthday. He's making it a big party inviting a lot of his family. Then he asked, if my sisters were shopping for me tonight what they might get me.

I'm all giddy. I'm still very much getting used to having sisters and having my dad in my life.

Wow

Fathers day is going to be a bit hectic though. I've got my dad, SD and I guess I should do something with/for my future SD.

I don't care right now I'm so excited about vegas baby

I'm so excited about everything.

Tonight BF and I are going to a wine tasting. It's very informal. It's only $5. 5 or so wines, an ounce or so and appetizers. Then it's to the bar for Karaeoke. Whoo hoo.

Tomorrow I might go see the movie Cars. For dinner my dad is taking me to Joe's Crab Shack. Well, it's not just my dad - there are now 10 people going, including BF.

Sunday I might be going on a lunch cruise. And if I don't go see the movie cars tomorrow, I might do that Sunday. Sunday night is wrestling Pay Per View - hanging out at a different bar.

Wednesday is my birthday - no idea how I'm going to offically celebrate yet. Juggling all these people in my life that need to be kept seperate from each other is driving me nuts. Bf wants to celebrate, his family wants to celebrate, SD wants to celebrate, my mom and her fiancee want to celebrate.
Thank goodness my dad is going out of town and need to celebrate tomorrow.

Next Saturday is BF's cousin's graduation party in Michigan.

In the mean time, I'm waiting patiently for the travel woman to call with the details of my trip to Vegas baby. I'll be using my lunch to make a list of the things I want to see and do (other than just see the casinos). So far I know that the Mirage has the white tigets and a dolphin habitat and Mandalay Bay has a Shark Reef.
Those are at the top of the list.

I know BF wants to eat at Margaritaville. Have to check for any other Must eat places.

My adrenaline is running so high!


Oh - and I worked out last night. Not a huge work out, since I have limited room in my room. But I did leg lifts and crunches and push ups. I got my thighmaster type of thing out. And I have this band thing with grips for hands and feet. So I tried some arm pull-ups with that thing.

You'll have a great time! (And, if you don't have a great time who cares? It's Vegas!)

Alright, my flight is confirmed - leaving Cleveland at 9:05, getting to Vegas at 10:27 (actually a 6 hour plan ride) on Friday July 14th.
Leaving vegas on the 16th at 4:30 and arriving in Cleveland at 11:30pm.

She mentioned in the email the MGM Grand - which is great, awesome, I just asked if it HAD to be the MGM grand? No biggie.
I'm so excited. BF is so excited. WOW
