What happened in Vegas?

So….Vegas happened.
It was, once again, ridiculous and magical and full of hugging and laughing and inside jokes and and and me looking FREAKISHLY good in hats (and also a bit like Jason Mraz when I quickly glance in the mirror after several afternoon drinks).
(FYI I look good in all hats. I feel I may have mentioned this in a post before…oh yes, here.)
So, there was my ride with Ev’yan and Andrea, during which we stopped for SONIC, which I have not had in years and which made me flash back to sitting in the back of my boyfriend’s truck after Battle of the Bands when I lived in Alabama in 10th grade. Yes, that happened.
Then there was the mad sprint Nicole and I went on while trying to get to the Planet Hollywood “I Just Came from a Theme Party” Bar Crawl before everyone else, caused by the fact that instead of actually, you know, walking towards the giant hotel marked “PLANET HOLLYWOOD” we walked in the opposite direction, forcing us to haul ass back the correct way in order to beat the large group slowing converging on the bar and causing me to almost knock down a small child.
A little later was the time I fell asleep (also known as passing the eff out) only to wake up to Kerri to shouting that she needed to go out and “live my life!”
The next day, there was us getting free stuff by the pool before Chelsee and Michelle (and husband) ran around the strip like crazy people looking for a giant statue of David and taking some photographic evidence.
After that there was a ridiculous amount of laughter, Kori teaching us that life is never that bad when you’ve got a jaw and that hooker cards are meant to be organized, me rediscovering I look great in hats, a delicious meal that was made “breader” by bread, Amy and I discovering we are clearly soul-mates, fountain-jumping, 60-year old brides belting out “Simply the Best” (“Maybe her husband IS simply the best…”), insane amounts of dancing at Margaritaville (but sadly, NO Ke$ha!), AND a tiny penis straw.
Lastly there was an incompetent cashier, creepes covered with bacon, (finally!) champagne, and more carbs than I care to mention.
And after that, I went home and there was LOST. OMGLOSTICRIEDFORFOURHOURSANDSTILLCANNOTPROCESSWHATHAPPENED….
But, yeah…Vegas. Vegas was awesome, as I knew it would be. The end.

We really are meant to be. I love you & your ability to wear hats. Mrazmatazz +Ke$ha + “she looks like she has a great personality.”
“Is that by choice or by circumstance?”
You do look amazing in hats! Color me jealous; i can’t pull that look off so well =) Glad you had a great time!

That bride MADE MY NIGHT! So so wonderful. So Vegas.
Hey! It was so good to see you, I’m bummed we didn’t get to hang out more. But Saturday we went to Stack and got that penne dish and donuts again. It was all amazing.
I know! And I’m bummed I missed eating at Stack. That meal was ridiculous in the best possible way.
I wish I could rock a hat like that
LOVED meeting you.
And oh that tiny penis straw. Nicole had so many uses for it.
Loved meeting you too!
And that penis straw has been haunting my dreams…
I’m gonna go ahead and say that a big part of your consistent ability to look good in hats is your tremendous fashion sense in hats. …unless there are pictures of you looking fly in a rainbow-colored propeller beanie out there.
There aren’t, but I am semi-confident I would look good in those as well.
I look like hell in hats – you on the other hand appear to rock the lids
