viva las vegas.

i'm procrastinating. but just so i don't feel so bad, i'll try to save time by doing this in list form.

1. at the airport waiting in line to board the flight, this older man started talking to erin and me. his name was lee and erin had to pretend to be looking for something in her bag because she was laughing so hard. among other things... he told us to be careful in vegas since we weren't 21. we assured him that we are in fact 21, and he responded that our skin is so nice that we don't have to wear makup. ha.

2. we got picked up by a limo. our driver was actually kinda young and cool.

3. chocolate covered strawberries in the vip lounge. yummy. and our room looked out at the fountains. it was so pretty. :]

4. shopping at the fashion show. no luck though. fun to just look around a bit anyway. we met up with trisha hansen for a little bit there.

5. dinner at sensi with my brother to celebrate his birthday early. good salmon. and little tiny fortune cookie boxes filled with little cookies came with the bill. so cute.

6. the show in one word? amazing. [except that erin and i brought some chocolate covered strawberries and they made us eat them at the door. ha. we were still full from dinner, but didn't want to waste the goodness. it was so funny.]

7. grand ole party opened. the girl who sings also drums and it was so fun to watch her. she was very animated. i want to be her for halloween, but i don't think i want to cut my hair.

8. then was the bird and the bee. i'm pretty much in love with them. so cute to watch.

9. jenny was incredible. seriously, so good live. she was really into the crowd too, so that was awesome.

10. unfortunately. i started feeling super sick. and the people were just packed in. and it was hot. and the lights were flashing. i thought i was going to throw up for the last 30 min or so of the set. :[

11. the taxi line to get back to the hotel was a little intense. the guys behind us started yelling at some other guys because they thought they cut in front of us. ack. and it smelled really bad.

12. the cab on the way back smelled like skunk. eww. and the driver took a really long way back to the bellagio. i hate when they do that just to get more money. :/

13. we made it to the gelato place 10 minutes before they closed. maybe a little gelato was all i needed to feel better. ha.

14. we wanted to go on some adventure, but couldn't make up our minds on what to do. feeling inspired by jenny, we stayed in the room and made little videos to some of her songs. [yay for the iPod player in the room.] they are hilarious, but i'm way too embarrassed to share them.

15. fell asleep pretty easy that night.

16. woke up and met up with trisha again. then we went to breakfast with my parents and brother. i ate lots of bacon. good stuff.

17. then we went to the miracle mile shops.

18. the new urban outfitters is awesome. it's really big and just cool. i totally made a little calamity when this frame i was looking at bumped into a row of metal owls... it caused a domino effect with the owls and one of them loudly fell on the floor. so embarrassing. oh and they had a shirt that said "republicans have more money." ha. my brother was going to buy it, but they didn't have any sizes.

19. there is a new h&m there, but i didn't find anything really. it's not nearly as big as the one in san francisco, but still cool to have and h&m there.

20. then it was time to go back to the airport. but not before some more chocolate covered strawberries. :]

21. my brother took us back to the airport, and the security line was longer than i have seen it in a long time. then our flight was delayed. :/ there was some problem because they only had one runway and too many planes were in the air. so they had to send ours back where it was coming from! finally it was able to come and we took off about two hours late, so after we should have already been in reno!

22. we decided to get pretzels on the plane. bad idea. they were over a year expired. so even when you opened them, you could smell that they were rancid. we told the ladies and they said they took out all the expired ones. i still think i'll stick with the peanuts from now on.

ok. well i have a midterm tomorrow for ch. so it's time to start studying. grr. i'll post the photos tomorrow.
