Surprisingly I came home to the same temperature as it was in Vegas yesterday...
The weekend started off quite well, and by starting I'm talking about the comedy show last Thursday. Mr. Showalter and Mr. Mirman did not disappoint, as well as a few others including my favorite cabbie, Luppe. I can only hope that sometime in my life I will by lucky enough to hop in to his cab. Also, good news is I got most of this on video, so my friends' Frank, Jena and Elizabeth are forever etched in history. Thanks for the tummy cramps after laughing so hard!
Friday I clugged to work with my backpacking gear. I was headed to sunny Las Vegas right after my last art class registration. I made the plane alright, enough time to conk out for the first few minutes. Haha, and I mean the first few minutes. I can never sleep on planes, especially when the wind picks you up and propels you about 5 feet in the air and drops you back down to 35,000 feet. Wonderful feeling of weightlessness though!
Vegas was spectacularly warm for the first day! About 75 and glorious with the sunshine curing my Seasonal I Hate Grey Weather Blues. My mom and sister met me with great enthusiasm right as I was contemplating putting my coat, gloves, hat and scarf back on and say, "Oops! Wrong city!"
After a day of window shopping, roasted turkey crepes and chardonnay we settled in for a spectacular, although slightly cheesy, Matthew Mcconaughey Shirt Off for 3/4 Time movie called Fools Gold. Ok ok, I know it didn't get great reviews, but for a girls night out...what more could you ask for? ;) And then to top it off with a great hot tub soak and some soul to soul sister talk? It was great.
The next few days were windy, and slightly less warm but still sunny. Just to briefly go over the events, breakfast at the country club, talk about tea bags and such, In N Out with Ash and a mad dash to the Galleria for some essentials, attempts to have a nice Asian lady clean me up, then some naps and Gramps famous "Big Salad" with wine and boner talk. Ok, don't ask. All I can say is that my mom's side of the family starts in the morning and lasts all night. You just can't get away from the innuendo! Geez!
I left on Monday afternoon to learn that my flight was delayed about two hours. Finally, getting in to Boston about 11:45, I raced to catch the train. Silver line saved me, but made me look like an idiot for getting out at WTC and having the same bus pick me up. Ugh, I could not look any of those people in the eye...major embarrassment!
So, I'm home now. It's warm outside. Probably not for long though. This weekend was a much needed getaway, but I am glad to be back to see those people I've come to miss quite naturally.
PS. Tomatoes are just plain gross.
