Spa Day and Pre-Vegas Plans

This Friday I'm going to go to the spa for the first time ever. I am very excited about it as I'm making a big deal of it...I'm going to get a facial, eye treatment, 1 hour massage and a pedicure. Of all those things I have only had a massage before and it was to treat car accident injuries...so, needless to say, Friday is going to be great for me!

Not only is it spa day, I took the entire day off. I will get to sleep in or do whatever I want-all day! It's been a few weeks since I've had some time to myself, so I'm looking forward to it.

Saturday will be a busy day too! There is a lot to be done with the Vegas trip coming up. Jen, Steph and I are going shopping on Saturday afternoon for some clubbing gear. Looking forward to it as we are meeting up for some Famous Dave's bbq first. Then we will head to some stores and hopefully I can score at least one shirt to match my new sparkly silver sandals! After we exhaust ourselves shopping we are going to head over to our friend Emily's house and help her break in her new deck. Looking forward to it as it's going to be a pretty social event - they are planning drinking competitions to mix up the entertainment value a little.

Finally, no plans on Sunday, but most of that day will be spent doing laundry and giving the dog some much needed attention. Just have to make it thru Monday at that point...then an easy half day Tuesday...come lunch time, I'm off to Blondie's for a little pre-Vegas partying and off to the airport we go!

Halloween Baby!

Yes, I know Halloween is still so many months away, but I'm gearing up for it already! I'm thinking about going with an 80's look this year. I found these great neon splatter paint glasses on this website called fredflare.com. I also found a sweet NKOTB shirt with a picture of Jordan on it at urbanoutfitters.com...I'm pretty sure the 80's are making a comeback and I'm going to try to bring back the trend...hahaha...starting with big hair!

Las Vegas

I am heading to Las Vegas for a girls only weekend and there's only 15 days to go! I am so excited! I have been to Vegas before but the BF was there with me so I didn't get to see any banana hammocks, or even any titties (except my own)! I am going with my friends Stephanie, Jen, Kahlan and Charli. We are staying at the Monte Carlo hotel and we were able to get good prices since we booked early (try January!) It also didn't hurt that I only put 2 people in the room...we're not even supposed to have 5, but Charli isn't getting there until Thursday night anyway.

We will be going from July 3rd - July 7th. It was my idea to take this trip, as I wanted to be in Vegas for 07-07-07 - luck be a lady that night!! We are planning on doing quite a few things while we're there besides gambling. We bought a couple of different passes that supposedly make it cheaper to do things. One is the Vegas Powerpass which will allow us to go see Madam Tussauds Wax Museum, the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art, go to the top of the Stratosphere and ride on some rollercoasters. I can't wait to see the wax museum and take my pic with George Clooney while wearing a wedding dress (the first one I will have ever tried on, I might add!) We also bought this other pass, called the Vegas Passport. It's supposed to get us into a lot of the popular clubs, cover included and VIP express lines. I hope to see some cute celebrity but I'm not going to hold my breath...

Other than that, we will be doing lots of lounging by the pool, eating (probably not so much for me) and TONS of drinking! I'm planning on getting a tattoo to cover up an old tattoo that I decided to give myself back in high school for whatever reason. I'm thinking about getting an eagle feather with a pink ribbon around part of it, to honor my grandmother (who had breast cancer but survived with no complications) and my aunt (who died from breast cancer this year). It will also honor any other woman in my family that might have to fight off this disease, specifically my mom, who will be getting a biopsy done on her breasts later in July. Cross your fingers that it all comes back okay!!

Anyways, back to VEGAS: All-in-all, I think it will be a good trip! I will post some pics and stories when we get back...in the meantime, the countdown has begun! 15 DAYS...

About Me

My photo
I was born and raised in Rapid City, SD. Loved growing up there and am a little sad that my theoretical kids won't be able to grow up there - unless, God forbid, I move back. I moved away for college to Omaha, NE. I went to Creighton University. Great education, great professors - not a good place for young people with an itch for action! I moved to Denver in August of 2004 and love it! I recommend that all people live in at least one other place besides their hometown - the world is so full of opportunities, we just have to move out of comfort zones!
