i mumbled "yeah"

nurse: yeah i hate these, i tell my husband how much i hate them and he'll never know what us women have to go through during these visits....you know what he told me?....he said "oh yeah...well imagine a lady nurse holding your nuts while telling you to cough"

me: (wait....did she really just say that? this woman is like my mom's age? wow! ) haha

Shoe Tying 101

who knew there was a right way to tie shoes. i heard the ladies at work talking about this the other day. the lady in the video is Debbie Weitzman, niece of Stuart Weitzman (his line is awesome). Debbie also happens to be really good friends with a lady that i work with and so i kind of met her when she came down for a visit about a month or so ago. she's a typical new yorker, loud and brash but she's pretty entertaining. here she is taking on zappos.

today we got a thank you note from a wedding we went to in april. the note mentioned how they love the pictures of us from the photographer so i had to go look them up. since the pictures are professional i can't save the picture to my computer but here's the link so you can see a wonderful picture.

m&m's make people hate me

i have found out since bringing in the m&m dispenser that people blame me for their lack of self control. they tell me i brought in an evil machine. they yell at me while serving themselves a handful of m&m's. they give me dirty looks while picking out the colors they don't like or while counting them out to make sure they have even quantities.

i like having the dispenser around because people come and visit more often. both of my cubemates have brought in two bags each to replenish the stock. today we replenished with peanut butter m&m's and omg those suckers are good!

i will kill you for chocolate!

On my to-do list while in Vegas was to visit the M&M store to purchase a dispenser. Usually when someone goes on vacation the person tries to bring back souvenirs of sorts. So far the best souvenirs are magnets, pens, and candy. I thought since I work with all woman and 3 guys and we all love chocolate that this would be a good general office gift. So I bought the dispenser and an expensive pound of fun colored m&m's. It was a big hit. I think most of my co-workers stopped by to get a few m&m's.

So now that we have a constant chocolate fix I took a quick break and on my way to the restrooms I saw the President's secretary walk toward the breakroom with a huge cake. I waited for the secretary to leave before swooping in to inspect the cake and to my surprise it was chocolate cake from costco. I came back to my desk with a piece of cake and stuffed it in my mouth while emailing my friends that there was cake in the breakroom and saying out loud how good the cake was with cream cheese filling. Within five minutes everyone in our department knew about the cake and like the vultures we are we probably gobbled that cake up before anybody else had a chance.

The only other souvenirs I bought were for our dogsitter, Shelly. I brought her a simple Vegas magnet and a can opener in the shape of a muscular man wearing a speedo....classy!

what happens in vegas...well you know...

We survived another Vegas trip. This past Sunday we made the trek up to Vegas and we made it in good time. Once we got into town we went to the hotel first to see if we could check in.

Cons of the Monte Carlo:
-It took several times around the block to figure out how to get to self-parking/check in parking.
-Parking garage was under construction and so we had to park in a temporary lot across the street.
-Hotel room was ok. Toilet was super scary...it sounded like it could suck in the whole bathroom.
-Not many unique eating establishments or enough attractions inside.

Pros of the Monte Carlo:
-It was cheap.
-Awesome pool, lazy river and wave pool.
-Had some good machines.
-Close to other casinos.
-Had a McDonalds, Subway, and Starbucks

After we settled in on Sunday we met Cheryl for the first time. She is really nice and we look forward to getting to know her better. They picked us up and took us to their timeshare and afterwards we went back to the strip and took a short tour of the strip. We mainly hit Caesar's Palace, Bellagio and Flamingo. We ended up at Margaritaville which is totally awesome!!!! Zac and I had a few margaritas and we had some really good food! The highlight was the girl sliding down the volcano in the margarita blender vat. After dinner we went our separate ways and Zac and I walked back to our hotel. Monday morning after a quick breakfast we were picked up again and we headed to the chapel. Brian and Cheryl got married via walk up window. Zac and I were the witnesses. The whole thing was real simple and over in about 10 minutes. After the wedding we went the Wynn and had a wedding lunch buffet. Good food and great desserts. After lunch we all came back to our hotel and we spent the rest of the afternoon by the pool. We had drinks, had fun and relaxed while people watching. Zac definitely enjoyed the view of the waitress with the fake boobs. That night we decided to eat dinner at New York, New York. We had some damn good Chinese food and after that we went our separate ways again. This time Zac and I managed to waste enough time that at midnight we were hungry again and were eating hotdogs in MGM Grand. We probably went to bed around 1:30 in the morning only to wake up early to meet up with Cheryl and Brian for breakfast. After breakfast buffet at the Palace Station we said our goodbyes and Zac and I wasted a couple hours losing the rest of our money before starting on the long voyage home.
