a girls guide to vegas

ok ok ok..so we just got back from vegas and seeing the Verve.. love them..it was truly magical. like matt eluded to, we have had a stroke of luck in the past seeing our fave bands reunite for us. i would have to add radiohead at red rocks and mika to the list of fave concerts and video games live. since mika's equipment was stuck in the snow, he played acoustic and it was awesome. i recently was dubbed the loudest person and everytime i screamed at the show craig would hesitantly cover his ears..i asked matt if i embarrassed him and matt said he was proud to be married to the loudest person.
we tried the best place to eat in hard rock casino. it is called mr lucky's 24/7. truly delicious. ray ray ate there on $40 a day, and she never steers me in the wrong direction. i had a club, kim and matt had breakfast with runny eggs (grossaroo) and craig with a delicious steak sandwich. a must visit. kim and i both love chocolate so doing some research we found a store called the chocolate swan. the whole trip we kept joking about a chocolate swan and once we finally got there, there was no chocolate swan to be found. so we bought some chocolate covered raspberries, chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate swan droppings (like a turtle), creme puffs, red velvet cupcake, cookies and cream custard, fruit tart, and we were on our way. if you are ever at mandalay bay, check it out. my fave store, lush, is opening right across the way so you could get some bath stuff and then gorge yourself on chocolate.
craigers was feeling sick, so matt was our lone male chaperone for our day of shopping. kimmy gib was worried that matt would hate shopping all day. she didnt believe me until we were all sticking together until matt got left at the body shop. . i told her kim and i couldnt believe that he was still in there...i assure you laughter ensued...the concert was amazing. matt never ceases to amaze me by talking to people waiting for a concert to start. he will make conversation with anyone if he can share his love and passion for music. we tried to go to blueberry hill for breakfast but we didnt have enough time and the wait was too long.
thanks to everyone for helpng with the kids. dont know how we could persue our passions without willing and nice babysitters..off to oregon for me..busick court..(can you tell i love food?) and a stop at the bikini coffee company to meet my fave person on big brother 8, natalie.
cheers!

I am so glad you had fun! It is only through your energetic concert following that I feel like there is a fifty year age gap between us sistahs...you are so fun and ready to go...and I am so here...ready to stay! BUT...MIKA ranks at the top of my list of fun concerts (and I have only been to five in my whole life and one of them happened to be Kenny Rogers..now that is saying something depressing!) so I am feeling your passion. So glad you had a fun break..
