Things I have learned (or confirmed) in Vegas this time around:
- There sure are some weirdos gambling at 7am
- I hate networking
- Compliance is a interesting job and I actually enjoy it. Listening to it all day long at a conference though is pretty damn boring.
- I missed my kids a lot sooner than I thought I would.
- I didn't sleep any better having the bed to myself.
- My hair loves this weather...I haven't used my flat iron once!
- My legs hate this weather...I haven't stopped itching since I got here.
- The Big Lebowski is freakin' hilarious.
- I wish I could have pastries served to me every morning.
- I also wish I had access to a gym/spa everyday.
- I would rather run an hour on a treadmill than network with peers.
- I am glad I have unlimited texting.
- The strongest woman in the world is very nice. I shared a shuttle with her.
- Despite the casino smelling like an ashtray, I am actually craving a cigarette more than a drink.
- I am most looking forward to dinner with my real father and his wife tonight. I only get to see him about 2-3 times a year.
- I love talking to Loudoun on the phone now. He's 5 and we can talk like friends. He tells me about his day and we can be sarcastic with each other. It's fun. Now Avalon, she still waves at the phone. :-)
- This white sheet, white comforter, white pillowcase combination would never work in my house.
I'm ready to go home!
Vegas is a bit different than when you were younger eh? You'll be home before you know it!
ReplyDeleteHaving to work in Vegas is def not the same as getting to play there. Soudns like you are making the best of it though. :) Hang in there sweetie, you'll be back home soon! :)
