Viva Las Vegas!

Girls’ Weekend 2010: Las Vegas was a smashing success! We had a great time and ate too much, slept too little and laughed our asses off. Becky, Erica, Shelly and Shelly’s IRL friend who I will call T made quite the quintet.

Food, laughing, talking, food, drinking, gambling, talking, food and more food and more talking were the order of the weekend. I love these beautiful, smart, funny women with all my heart.

My only complaint is that I left a whole day before they did. But I instructed them not to have any fun or say or do anything interesting after I left, and I’m sure they complied.

The things I learned in Las Vegas this time are:

1. Never go to Las Vegas on a Friday or Saturday night. I had never seen Vegas like that before, and I realized that I always purposely went on weeknights.
2. Drunk people in the hallway when you are trying to sleep is really.fucking.annoying.
3. I will smell anything Erica asks me to.
4. Freemont Street is kind of like Carnie Town. We felt very young and smart and beautiful there.
5. CHILDREN DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT BELONG IN LAS VEGAS (I actually already knew that, and blogged about it six years ago, but it always bears repeating
6. Ambien is really amazing, especially when you are watching your friend, who is zoned out of her gourd on it. I won’t say who it was, though.
7. Laughter is indeed the best medicine.

And while we were there, I bought myself a Divorce Ring. I feel weird with no ring on my left ring finger. It makes me feel naked. So I decided to buy myself a ring to wear there that is obviously not a wedding band. Here is a picture of what I got:

That’s a close up of it. I really like it. It’s unique and simple, and I think it’s fairly obviously not a wedding ring. It was so fitting to get it with my bitches. I should have made them get down on one knee and place it on my finger. We decided that we could all live happily in a plural marriage together, with no husband. Sadly, they all have husbands, but maybe one day we can make it happen.

So where will Girls’ Weekend 2011 be held?
