Summer Vacation!!

 

The test is done, I have five days off work, and I'm ON VACATION!!!

I haven't had an honest-to-goodness summer vacation since I graduated from college. Ok, it may be a little on the short side, not exactly the whole summer, but I ain't complaining. To celebrate, I'm...

GOING TO VEGAS!!!!

Yes that's right, folks. Tomorrow I'm going to Seattle with my man, we're going to spend a fun filled day in the city, stay the night in a cheap hotel near the airport, and then at 7:15 I'm flying off to the city that never sleeps, although the busses don't run at 2 am.

There I shall meet up with the lovely Stennie and the charming Flipsycab for some all-in-good-fun craziness. Or maybe just drinking by the pool. We haven't really decided what-all we're going to do there, but I've promised to be drunk the whole time.

Don't worry, we shall let you live the experience through our tales and photos when we get back. Til then, don't be jealous. Well, I take that back. Be at least a little jealous. It's going to be awesome! That's what summer vacation is all about!

See ya!

Hard Core

 

Well I took the plunge (hardy har har) and went swimming in lake Padden last night after work. I've been dreading that leg of the triathlon cause it's going to be COLD. And it WAS. But it really wasn't that bad. I didn't go numb or have my feet ache or anything, and though I'm not FAST, I am comfortable in the water, and I can swim the distance without tiring myself out too much. After all, I want to save my strength for the biking and running.

I felt pretty bad ass though, swimming on a grey and breezy evening, in my new "racing" swimsuit. The only other 2 people in the water were both men wearing wetsuits, who I'm sure were also training for the race. Wetsuits! Pussies! Let a real women show you what toughness is!

Yep, I rock. I'm a bad ass babe. And nobody needs to know that I went home and took a long bubble bath afterwards, right?

You'll All be Pleased to Know

 

I went to the mall on my lunch break and bought a couple of summery clothing type things for my upcoming (FOUR DAYS AWAY!) trip to Vegas, INCLUDING a pair of stretchy plaid hoochie-mama pants to go along with the hoochie-mama top my mom got me for my birthday. Look out Vegas!

Rad!

 

I just got another birthday present in the mail today! From my Ol' Pal Heidster! And I love it. Two books, Inconceivable and High Society by one of my favorite authors, Ben Elton. Thank you so much Stennie! I haven't read them and I can't wait to! You rock!

So, What'd I Get?

 

In response to Jellybean's question, for my birthday (so far) I raked in:

*Gold and pearl earrings (my birthstone is pearl) from Dad.
*Hoochie-mama top and bright pink handbag from Mom.
*Snorkeling flippers and diving mask from Andy. We spent all morning looking for a sundress and finally gave up on it for now. He also wouldn't let me spend a dime the entire weekend, which was nice. Not cause of the money so much as it's just nice to be treated.
*Various doo-dads from the gals at work, including a certificate celebrating my glorious age, a hip-swinging hula dancer doll, candles/candle holder, and a note pad shaped like a pair of pants!
*Cashola from the grandmas. Yay Grandmas! Money for the craps table!

There are a few people who have said they've sent things along that have not arrived yet, like my brother, and Aunt/Uncle/Cousin. Which I say is great! Let the gifts keep rolling in all week long - that just makes my birthday last longer...all the way to Vegas!

Thanks for all your good birthday wishes - I had a great weekend!

Monday Manners

 

From the chapter "In Speech":

Don't say "right away," if you wish to avoid Americanisms. Say "immediately" or "directly."

Why in tarnation would anybody like to steer clear of Amercianisms? Buncha commies! I reckon that's plumb ignant!
