(started like last week...finished 8/21).

so yeah, summer is almost half way over. I got back from my big vacation late saturday. It was such a slap in the face to get back to work. Especially since my boss didn't file any of my emails. Or do my amazon orders. Or auto deliveries. But let's not dwell on that. Lets talk about how friggin sweet Vegas and San Francisco is. Cos I miss vacation. I tend to dwell on things, if you haven't noticed.

So the kickoff to vacation crazy time was a well deserved venture into the dirty Bruns for Pham's going away party. It was so exciting as that I haven't seen many of these people since either RU Fest in April or way back in September at alumni jug. Anyway, New Brunswick always gets me all teary eyed and slightly nostalgic. Before the party, though, me, and my two littles Reeta and Lou went out for dinner- it was for Reeta who's being all big and bad going to Law School in U of Maryland. Oh man, every one is going on to higher education, I ought to get my ass checked to do it. MBA? MLS? MMM? hehe. All these other people are doing it- Lou to nursing grad school, Pham to med school, Lisa to law school, Q to 2L. crazygrownupmadness. anyway, after dinner, we went to Olde Queens, and to our disappointment there were like 5 people there. Ohwell, went to Pham's party, which was incredibly fun. It is always great seeing APO people, new brunswick. Reminds me good times in college, which is almost two years behind me- tear!

Anyway, my Vegas vacation was hottttttt. So much fun! I like to party, but I've only recently really embraced this into my life. I was a bit nervous that Vegas was going to be overwhelming, but it totally wasn't. You get engulfed in the whole- THIS IS VEGAS!!!! mindset the minute you get onto the strip- it's hot, there's people everywhere, from all around the world, who you'll never see again. You wear stuff you don't wear back at home, you eat what you want, and you get caught up in the bright lights and constant cling-clang of slot machines. We went to 5 clubs, including Rehab which is a Sunday outdoors pool party at the Hard Rock- the others were Rum Jungle Sunday night at Mandalay Bay, Jet at the Mirage, Pure at Caesar's, and Studio 54 at MGM Grand. At Pure we were 'treated' to a free concert courtesy of myspace.com- Mims as in 'This is Why I'm Hot' (sung 2 times, the second time 'remixed' aka he sang it faster). Studio 54 was full og gays or Europeans, me and Judi could not decipher. The clubs are pretty ridiculous, and it's kind of cool to think that celebrities who go out to Vegas also visit the same places. Anyway, Vegas was fun (finished 9/10/07)
