Friday Follow - I believe this is #3 for me!

Been so busy lately, running around trying to get everything done all at once.  So have been slacking off on the walking and exercising, but I've walked enough in Vegas...so I guess that offsets it a little bit!

Fear and Peace - How is it possible to feel both at the same time?

I love looking at or watching water...the beach, the lake, the river...I can just sit there and look at it, stare at it, and I would feel so at ease, so peaceful...

On my Pittsburgh trip I did that, I walked on the bridge and sat down for a little while by the water just taking in all the surroundings and relaxing...the water wasn't even that pretty or clean looking, but it still gave me a sense of peacefulness...

But while I'm sitting there staring into the water...I started wondering...how can I love it so much staring at it, sitting here taking it all in?  Why do I love it so much, when at the same time I fear it so much...How is that possible?

You see, I can't swim...I don't know how...I took swimming lessons when I was a little kid...but never did learn...I have had this terrorizing fear when I get in water that goes above my head....never been able to learn how to deal with it or stop fearing it...

The water doesn't even have to be deep, as soon as I get submerged in it, I freak out...My friends make fun of me because I can't even go on water slides...I went on one once, slid down, went under the water, and frantically flapped my arms around like I was drowning...finally found my balance, stood up, and cried...yep...I bawled...it was very very embarrassing...

So I'm sitting there looking at the water, peaceful for the moment, but at the same time thinking, I would be so scared if I fell in this water...

How is it possible?  Something that brings me such peace... could also terrorize me so?

I am Back!!!

Yes I could not get on the flight I was planning on getting on...well actually I could, but my friend who was on a buddy pass, couldn't and I didn't want to leave her there alone...so I stayed with her...and Yes, we spend the night at the Vegas airport...

But anyhow...I had a GREAT time in Vegas...We rented a car and drove to Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon...which I would recommend everyone to do!  I would suggest to drive all the way and visit Grand Canyon first though, and then on the way back stop by Hoover Dam...We did it the other way around and alot of the shops were already closed...

Also DO NOT take your own car there...because to Grand Canyon there is about half an hour of dirt road, and you would not want to mess up your own car that way...not to mention all the Rams that we saw on the side of the road too...

Grand Canyon was absolutely beautiful!!!  We climbed up the rocks all the way to the top tip of it!  It was very very scary but we made it!  I got up there and my knees got weak...I had to sit down...When I stood up I felt like I was just gonna fall down the cliff...but it was a good experience.

If you don't already have a Red Card from Wynn, you should get one...If you are a new member they have a promotion going on that you only need 55 points on the card and you will get a free buffet!  It is free to get the card...and I played on the wheel of fortune slots and got my 55 pts pretty quickly!  Our whole group got free buffets at the Wynn...and the buffet at the Wynn is SOOOO much better than the buffet at the Bellagio...just so you know...

We stayed at Treasure Island and the hotel was pretty nice...staying there you get to be in a VIP area to watch the Sirens show outside, which was definitely a treat...because we're so short we didn't have to get stuck behind some of the tall people...and the Sirens show definitely beat all the other shows that the other hotels had...at least to me...because it was so much more entertaining!

You also get to go to their club for free before midnight...although we didn't go to try it out...there was so much to do and we didn't have enough time!  There is a $22.40 per day resort fee for each room...I think its for the free internet in the room and also for the pool and fitness center...but we didn't have a chance to lay out in the pool either...

I am exhausted from my vacation and I think I seriously need some recovery time...but got sooo much to do!  Not to mention the 865 blog posts that I need to catch up on reading...so here I go...off to read blogs...this is gonna take me awhile...

Sitting at the Vegas Airport

So I have been MIA for a little while ~ because I was in Vegas!!!  I am now sitting at the airport waiting patiently to see if I will be able to get on the last flight out of here...Yes I am on standby...and yes the all nighter out of here is always full...but still...I am hopeful...and as much fun as Vegas is...I am ready to go home and get some things done...like this blog back on a routine for instance...not to mention so many other things starting for me this week as well...gonna be a busy busy end of the month!

So bear with me! I'm almost home!  And Wish me luck on getting on the flight!

p.s. Vegas was FUN!

p.p.s. I am EXHAUSTED...I need a vacation from my vacation!!! in which time I will be catching up on your blogs...no I didn't forget to read them! :)

Do You Find This Funny?!?

I had a whole bunch of spring break kids on my flight the other day.  They were sitting in the couple of rows right in front of me.  I think it was a group of kids that were a part of something because they all knew each other and screaming (really...screaming...not just talking) to their friends that were sitting in other rows.  These were not young young kids neither...I think they must be in their junior or senior year of high school, but they acted like they were in elementary school.

I ignored all of their screaming across the plane, loud talking, loud laughing, really pointless conversations and their immature behaviors...I ignored all of that because I figured hey, they're on spring break, maybe they just acting up because they want to have fun...so whatevs right...

Then I was listening to this girl telling her story to all her group of friends in a bragging tone...She was talking about driving (I'm assuming she is a new driver).  She said she was driving with her mom in the passenger seat.  They were driving along and something caught her eyes on the side of the street...She said what it was but I forgot...anyways, something caught her eyes so she was looking at it but forgot to take her foot off the brakes.

So this whole time she now has her head turned sideways looking at this thing, but the car is still going straight and she is not looking at where she's going...She hears her mom screaming STOP and turned back around...She had ran the stoplight and the cars going across were now heading in their direction and if she keeps going, they would crash right into her car on her mom's side...

I listened in horror fearing the ending of this story...she goes on...She said she stopped then just in time and didn't crash with the other cars.  I thought Thank God!  She then said her mom was so scared and freaking out and...are you ready for this?.........

She thought it was the funniest thing in the world what had just happened! 

I was completely baffled!  WhY, Where, What, How, WhO in that whole story was funny?  Did I miss the funny part?  I would've been completely scared shitless!  Are you kidding me?  She said she started laughing in the car after it happened, and then her "buddies" started joking about what happened and all joined in on the "laughter".

I don't get it...When I have kids...They are gonna find this FUNNY?  If thats the case, they will never find out what a "car" is!

Twilight Fans!

I knew the moment I thought this all of the Twilight Series Fans out there will appreciate this!

I walked by this alley on my layover in Pittsburgh and immediately the thought that popped in my head (I can't believe I was even thinking about this as I read the book like eons ago!)....hm...this is so similar to the dark alley Bella was in when she got surrounded by those guys....and then Edward showed up to rescue her!


I know right...I don't know why this was the thought that came into my head...and I laughed about it almost instantly when this was what I was thinking about...but then my second thought...OMG...you're gonna LOVE this..................


I wonder if Edward will show up to rescue me if I walk into this dark alley?


I am Not kidding...if the first thought was so silly, this second thought was insane....lol...my gosh...what has the book done to me???


I still almost went down the dark alley, even though the thought was insane and stupid...hahahaha...ALMOST...
