Long Awaited Update
Here it is...
Friday night I come home from work, and I'm way too excited to take a nap. I'm eating a bunch of chips and such since I know that I'll be drinking later on when I'm on the Strip. I'm cleaning up the last minute things that need cleaning, and at about 6, I started tracking Erika's flight so I knew when to leave the apartment to go down there. I took a shower, got dressed/ready for the Strip, and played around on Pogo for a bit until leaving to get Erika. Luckily, her flight was running late, because I ran into traffic. I got to the airport, and walked as fast as I could (since it was the busiest I've ever seen it!), and got to her baggage claim carosel. It took her awhile to get there, but I kept myself busy. I was walking around trying to see if I had missed her, and while I wasn't paying attention to where I was walking, I walked right into some random guy. It was actually kind of funny. All of a sudden, my foot hit something, and that's when I realized someone was standing right there. She finally got to baggage claim, and then we began to wait. We had a prime spot at the carosel, and then they told us that the baggage for her flight was on a different carosel. Nice. We got over there, and it was from a flight from Detroit, not Milwaukee. It stopped moving, and we went back to the other place to find her flight's luggage. I watched the luggage that she brought out for me go by at least once before I finally shoved my way past some older guys to get the bag. We found an open area to get her luggage. From there we headed to the Strip. First stop, Gonzales y Gonzales (in New York, New York) for the best yard longs on the Strip! We walked up and down the Strip for a bit, and headed to dinner at about 1:30am. I had damn near finished the yard long by that time, and I knew I needed food before I headed back to the apartment 45 minutes away. We got into the car at 3am. I haven't been up that late in forever.
I fell asleep with no problems. I woke up because the people who live above me decided they wanted to move every piece of furniture in their place...at least it sounded like it. I was up by 8:30. ( I wasn't feeling too well either...) I got my laundry started, and thought about finishing up lessons for the week, but instead caught up on my celebrity gossip on E! After waiting to wake up (and finish my laundry), we headed to the World's Largest Buffet. Ate a lot there! After that, we headed to the Stratosphere. I've never been a fan since it's the " tallest freestanding observation tower in the United States and the tallest building west of the Mississippi River." I'm not a big fan of heights, but I thought I would go up since I knew she wanted to go up. I knew she wanted to go on the rides, but there was no way I was going on a ride up there! Headed to the World's Largest Gift Shop, and then to Fashion Show Mall which is the country's 3rd largest mall. Had a good time there, and headed back to my apartment to relax and eat something before heading back out to the Strip. Walked around, saw the end of the soft core porn at TI, the volcano at the Mirage, and the water show at the Bellagio. We headed to Paris Las Vegas for another yard long...Well, I had just had a drink and knew I had to drive...so Erika was going to get one. Turns out, you can get the non-alcoholic! I now have 3 normal yard longs, and an Eiffel Tower yard long! I got the lime margarita sans alcohol, and it was like a gianormous lime slushie! Mmmmmm...good times, but after about 10 minutes, I was ready for a huge drink of water. However, while we were at Paris, Erika won about 20 bucks (that's how much, right Erika?). I watched her win...after I lost 2 bucks. It was good for her though. We left the Strip earlier, and we headed back to eat some pizza and watch the Office.
Sunday we went out to see Nacho Libre. It started off slow, but it ended up being pretty funny. Headed off to the teacher store for me to pick up some stuff, then to Precious Slut to get her belly button pierced. We came home, I made dinner, and we sat and watched TV until I took a shower and went to bed. Oh wait, there was the birthday cake with the trick candles that did not want to go out. It was fun.
Monday I came home from school, and as we were getting ready to hit the Strip until she left, I realized I had left Erika's boarding pass at school. I sped over there to find out that no one was there (I never got a code to get in if no one's there). I called Erika to find the 800 numbers to call to see if she'd be able to check in again at the airport even though she didn't have the credit card the ticket was bought with. After being on hold for about 30 minutes (on my cell phone...and I had my home phone on the other ear while I was searching online at the same time), I found out that she could. Nice...went to Sonic for the first time. Pretty good food, expensive, but good. Stayed on the Strip until about 9:45 when we left for the airport. Got the boarding pass, and then they weren't very helpful as to how to check our baggage. "Just step over there, and someone will call you to get your bags checked" We stood there as we saw a family with a cart full of luggage who was still checking in when we got in line. I'm sorry, but I don't play that. I saw an old couple walk up to the desk too...huh-uh. I walked right up behind the old people...I thought I would let them go ahead since they don't have as much time as I do...Luckily, the person who told us to wait noticed we hadn't been helped yet, and helped us first. Turns out the old people were first class passengers, but oh well. People riding coach are cool too. Damn straight! None of this hoity toitey stuff for me. I'm a poor teacher. I walked her to security, and walked back to my car. It was good having Erika out here, and sad to see her leave.
This weekend is going to be boring...
Ok, more tattles for you:
"(Name) and (name) was playing light savers with markers"
"(Name) and (name) were playing light sabres with markers."
"(Name) wus lefting up he's desk and play in he's desk?"
"(Name) was lifting up his desk and playing in his desk."
"(Name) called me the f would and the a would" (Ok, so I've learned that their "words" aren't our "words". The "s" word to them is shut up or stupid)
"(Name) called me the f word and the a word"
