"What would you attempt, if you knew you could not fail?" ---Author Unknown
Please pardon my absence, but I escaped to Las Vegas for a four-day get-a-way. I attended my Nephew’s wedding, visited with many family members, and made a few new friends. It was fun getting to know our neighbors from the North, the Canadian family and friends of the bride. My newest Niece-in-law is from Canada. If she, her sister and best friends are an indicator of the women from the Country to the North, perhaps it is time for a trip to Canada. My goodness the entire group are stunning women.
I am sure you have heard the saying, “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.” Well, I am here to tell you that this is not always the case. I went to Vegas with that thought in mind. I arrived and decided it was time to relax, enjoy and take some time off from reality. I ate, drank and was merry the entire trip. Well, I did not really drink alcohol as I do not drink the stuff. I was very merry, but honestly, I would have rather met someone named Mary… that did not happen. Therefore, that leaves ate. I can tell you that ate, I did. In fact, I went out to eat five times in four days. I exercised while I was in Vegas. In fact, I went a minimum of nearly three miles per day. It was tough to get myself out of bed and go jogging on a path that was filled with perfectly sculpted women. Who pays for all their plastic enhancements anyhow? Nevertheless, it was quite the site, seeing all that medical induced perfection. It gave me a craving to get my own liposuction. Add a little Botox to my lips; I am perfect for the plastic pathway of Summerlin Las Vegas. All I want for Christmas is my two pouty lips, my lipo-sucked abs, and a Mary under my tree. However, I digress; this is about what I brought back from Vegas. Now, stop thinking that. It does not require antibiotics or a trip to a discreet medical clinic.
I brought a souvenir of the worst type back from Las Vegas. My souvenir is one that I really do not want. The souvenir I brought back from my trip to Las Vegas weighs eight-pounds, two-ounces. Once again, stop thinking like that; I already have two children. My souvenir from Las Vegas was an added eight pounds of girth! I know, much of it is water weight from the sudden salty foods that I consumed; but still, weight is weight. Thankfully, today I spent a great deal of time getting rid of those eight pounds, now that I am back on my disciplined program. I went jogging/walking for nearly six miles after work today. If I could get rid of the abscess tooth I have I could actually get some sleep. However, I cannot get into my dentist until Thursday and no over-the-counter pain medicines are working. I will have to endure until Thursday. Now, that it is bedtime and I cannot sleep because of the constant pounding in my jaw, I guess I will take the dog for a late night walk.
What happens in Vegas, followed me home and tried to take up residence!
