It's rained here for the past 7 days...but not today. Not on the day after we had fires in the Everglades that rained down ash all over the jacuzzi and lawn furniture. Not on the day that they lawn guys put fertilizer down. Murphy's Law?
How come Big J couldn't look in the store at the ice rink for gloves before I had to search for them online, during the summer, when the only ones I could find were $15 with shipping and dark brown? How come I knew to check the store at the ice rink because I knew they would have gloves (that were only $5)? And how come he didn't think to buy them before Lil J's first lesson when all 40 other kids had gloves or mittens on?

Vegas Baby Vegas
So it's been quite a while since I've posted. In a nutshell, we went on vacation to Deerfield Beach to the Embassy Suites with Big J's family. We played on the beach, swam in the pool, went to the PlayMobile Park (indoors where the kids can play with all the toys) and went to the Palm Beach Zoo. We had a great Memorial Day weekend.
Lil J turned 3 and we had his birthday party at the Humane Society of Broward County. The kids decorated party hats, got a tour of all the doggies and cats up for adoption, played with two 8 week old puppies for 20 minutes, had pizza, cake & juice boxes and all I had to do was send out the invitations and thank you cards. It was the best party ever for a kid.
So Vegas...I went to Las Vegas for my first time with two of my oldest girlfriends, M & S. Together, we make up PMS so it's easy for people to remember our names. We arrived at the airport around the same time and got to our hotel around Midnight. We stayed at THEHotel at Mandalay Bay. Our room wasn't ready (at 12am) so we sat down at the bar for a cocktail. A seemingly nice man sat down next to me and I tried to make polite conversation while still trying to speak to my girlfriends. He was telling me about his family and his work and getting drunker and drunker by the minute. Next thing I know, he turns to me and says, "I'd just really like to F**K you!" Everyone at the bar heard this. I was so shocked that I got up and walked away. The bartender had to ask him to leave because he started making a scene. They had never had a bar fight there until just a few weeks ago and didn't want to have another one.
The rest of the weekend was uphill from there. We spent Friday by the pool under a great shaded cabana, drank wine, ate Lobster salads and gourmet PB&J sandwiches. S took me around to a few hotels (Excalibur, Luxor, NYNY) and we rode the roller coaster at NYNY. Then we went to the Mirage for dinner at Stack and had great martinis and food. We gambled a little and danced a little and then crashed. Saturday was spent at a different pool under a not so shaded cabana and it was 106 degrees that day. I spent as much time in the shade as possible only venturing out to go to the bathroom or cool off in the pool. S's friend Stacy joined us for the day and stayed for dinner. We had dinner at the Venetian in a restaurant/club called Tao. The food was amazing and we were so stuffed afterwards that we canceled our private table in the club and headed back to our hotel to sleep. On Sunday, we headed to the Paris hotel for breakfast, where M won $350 playing Keno at the restaurant table. We then walked around the Paris, watched the fountains at the Bellagio and headed back to THEHotel to pack and head to the airport.
It was a great weekend and PMS is looking into doing a girls weekend once a year in different locations.
