1 week and 2 days... and I want to go NOW!!!

I want to go to Vegas now... I don't want to be at work in our newly formaldehyde'd freshened environment (new carpet and new cubicles) - it's a chemical overload to the senses... my eyes itch and water half the stinkin' day... I stuff up while there and to add insult to injury my seat is too small - no not the width, then you could blame me, but the depth is shorter by 2" than our old chairs and my legs are screaming from lack of support. My emotions are screaming from lack of managerial support... and I don't want to BE there... Sad when you get new furniture and it's so cheap it sucks.

Ah, well, I would gripe if hung with a new rope as dad would say. I also have a hall way between me and the other half of my team and a full on WALL between me and the one who needs to be prompted to work. Lovely.

Yeah, it's a fun place to be - not.

Memories...

I'm glad you did that flashback post, Donna! I had forgotten how many times we have done this crazy outing. Crazy fun, that is! I had also forgotten that I had short hair at the last AGW. And I will for this one, too! I'm not giving away just how short. You'll just have to wait and see... I did cut off enough to do a donation for Locks of Love, though.

I almost let a boy come with us....

It was/is the new hairdresser I have... still not sure if he's truly gay or not... gives very strong good hugs...   He said he would cut all our hair if I would just take him with me... tempting, tempting, tempting... just for the haircuts, shampoo's and facials.  :o)

Trivia question

Do you know how that first one got started ?

Gail put together for us! Wonderful project.





2007 - cancelled due to my surgery and lack of folks wanting to do the trip this year :o( How sad!!
Which brings us to 2008! Come one, come all - we're at less than two week count down. We'll be staying at the Orleans in Las Vegas. I'll be there on Friday evening at about 9pm and staying through Tuesday morning.
If you're in the local area and want to know more details on the schedule - e-mail me at dashw00d@cox.net and I'll send you my cell phone number and our tentative schedule to meet up!

Dinner Reservations

Don Miguel's doesn't take reservations for dinner - so if we want a place with reservations we may have to seek out a different place. I have 9 so far in the count:
Tuny
Suz
Sandi
Janey
Marilyn
Donna
Linda
Gail
Janet
Possible:
Katie
Jessica

I would think with 10 or less for an early dinner, we should be OK in the long run, right?

Itenerary

I thought the e-mail I sent last time updated the BLOG but it didn't - drat it... so correct me if I have the days wrong on this!

Saturday:
Spa day 10am
(http://www.orleanscasino.com/things-to-do/spa/treatments-and-packages)
I have a reservation for 10am on Saturday morning for a massage - a CHOCOLATE massage.
I'm not sure how I'll feel about it, but can you imagine smelling chocolate the entire time?
Hum.. wonder if it will just make me hungry instead of relaxed?
Hard to know... but I'll tell you when I'm done!!

Saturday evening - Dinner 6pm (http://www.orleanscasino.com/dining/don-miguels)
Reservations are pending confirmation with Don Miguel's there at the hotel.

Saturday night - Show night! 10 pm
Blue Man Group (http://www.bluemanvegas.com/?sid=2796718)

Can you say one BUSY day for me? The reality is that I will nap after the massage, then eat and laugh through dinner and wrap it up with a show that night... Then recoup on Sunday!!

Sunday - ??
Group Breakfast - hotel buffet
Church for those wanting to attend
Lunch dinner, visiting, playing, movies, bowling... lots and lots of stuff going on!
