It's All Relative

Bring on the weekend...

Last night my Mom, who was in town to give a management seminar, and I went to dinner at this restaurant at Red Rock. I had the filet mignon , garlic mashed potatoes and steamed green beans. It was delightful. We also ordered a jumbo shrimp cocktail which was also really yummy. After not eating all day due to the "Finding Niko" debacle, I was starving and this meal really hit the spot.
On our way out, my Mom couldn't help but sit down at her favorite slot machine, "Wheel of Fortune" (she just calls it "Wheel"). Thirty seconds later she was out 10 bucks, so we decided to head out before losing anything else. I will admit that the blackjack tables were quite tempting-$5 minimums!!! Alas, I diverted the temptation and we went home. GBH would be so proud...

Tonight me and my good friend Sara are going out to a club called Pure at Caesars. She is visiting from SLC (but she's actually from Redding. We grew up together) so it will be nice to catch up with her. Apparently Brody Jenner is throwing some party there tonight, but Sara hit the genetics jackpot and should have no trouble getting us in. She's the kind of girl who is captivated by Vegas and by doing so, fits right in. I on the other hand find the club scene here comical. If there's anything I've learned from living here it's that Las Vegas is fake. It's not real, it's an illusion. And unfortunatly, a lot of the people who see and meet here are too. Not to say I've been hitting the club scene hardcore, but I have been enough to recognize it and it's a little ridiculous. No, it's a lot ridiculous. But Sara loves it and I'll go to hang out with her. Or at least make sure she doesn't get wasted and end up leaving with some tool on spring break.

I'm also taking my car in (again) to the brakes place. After 3 weeks, my brakes have not really gotten any better and every time I hear that wretched squeeking, I get so pissed and tell myself to call them. Yesterday I finally did and so help me, if they even think about charging me any more money, they and the girl from the HOA will have something in common.

p.s. Jen is having a scheduled c-section on Monday. Baby Lilly is apparently rather large and so the doctors thought a natural birth would be too difficult for her and Jen. A little disappointing I'm sure, but at least we know she'll get here safe and sound!
