Up 4 a trip to Vegas anyone?

Well not me! I really don't like Vegas. It's dirty and all I want to do is play slots with money that I don't have to throw away. But I went there this past weekend for a Tax class about S Corps. I was leaving on Thursday. I should have known that this trip was in trouble on Tuesday, because I started to feel really tired. I knew I was coming down with something, I was hoping I could just kick it. Well Thursday came & I was getting worse everyday. So to make myself get better, I went and sat in a freezing cold room for 8 hours. Now if you know me I am a very HOT person. I like cold, but this room was probably 65 degrees and the air just blew right on me. I was trying to cover myself up with the table cloth on the table. I even scoped out the room for any table cloths not being used, but to no luck. For our 1 hour lunch break, Cammy and I went outside and sat on a concrete loading dock in the HOt sun! I was out there for about 20 minutes and still never broke a sweat, oh I didn't mention that is was 109 degrees outside. I couldn't touch the concrete with my bare hands or toes. I let the back of my legs touch and burned them. Really, truly you could have fried an egg out there!! So it was time to go back and I was just getting warm.

So on the last day Saturday, I brought Cammy's beach towel and used it like a blanket. I was still cold!!! I am sure some of the coldness was from being sick, but there were more than 30 people in the room and I was not the only one covering up with the table cloths!!! I wanted to play slots really bad. I love playing slot machines, I just would like to play with pretend money and then when I win I get real money!!! ha,ha... Well Cammy didn't want to play slots or do anything to that and she was quite boring. So for distraction we went swimming!!!

Now here is the tale of the swim!!! We went to our room after a yucky dinner and tried to open our door. We couldn't open it. Cammy kept trying over & over. I finally told her that I was leaving her to go to the front desk. I guess she thought she had room key magic or something because she wouldn't just accept the reality that the key didn't work. So we headed back downstairs and the front desk told us the we had demagnetised the key and since my name was not on the registration they would give us a new one. Security would have to let us in & go back up and wait for them. So we did. We looked like to idiots sitting outside our door. Anyway they finally came and asked for my ID and what in the room would have my name on it. So they opened the door and saw that it was true. No big deal right? Accept, he told me i had to get a working key from the front desk. I called down and the bell desk would have to bring it to me, & that was going to be about 45 minutes. So we waited, finally they came and Cammy & I headed for the pool. Dun DUn DUNNNNN!!

When we got there the lights were out and nobody was at the pool. I thought that nobody wanted to swim and everyone was just gambling. I went and asked a worker at the food counter and he said go ahead, ya ya. So Cammy & I jumped in happily. Withing 5 minutes a cop on a bike was at the pool yelling 'GET OUT NOW'. He was very rude. We tried to explain that we asked but he didn't care. He just kept going on about how much it coast to drain the pool!! wah wah wah!!! He asked for our room number and we freely gave it and Cammy asked why, he responded 'because i need to write it up and report it'. OOOHHHH MY. No not a report, Cammy flipped, she is a big chicken, worried that we were going to get kicked out or fined or something. I didn't think it was a big deal, and Cammy admitted that if we got a fine or something she would go fight it. GO Cammy!! Anyway walking back in the casino, now wet and stupid looking made us feel so much better.

Anyway, we had a decent time, the class was way too hard and over my head and I was sick!!! When I got home to my super safe house and my warm husband I collapsed into tears of 'I don't feel good' and he put me to bed. So today is really the first day that I have felt much better. I am still a little tired but I did get some appetite back. Yea thought cause I lost 3.5 pounds in 5 days. Too bad it will come back on with the next big bowl of ice cream I eat!!!

Sounds like a fun fun time. You left out the best part of the swim story though.
