You can tell a lot about a girl....





You can tell a lot about a girl...

just by hearing about her all girls vacation....

so here goes:



This is me reliving my modeling days..

yep,  i use to model...

errrr... once i modeled...

for a dance magazine..

a dance magazine that my now ~ mother in law

used for buying costumes for her dance studio...

little did she know she was lookin at her future daughter in law.

...they would only do shots of my backside ...

cuz i was so flat....

now i have a paid in full chest.. :)
and my backside is saggy and denty...

ahhh..

youcanthaveitallgirls.






This is me laughing hysterically...

about who knows what....

i find strange things funny...

my sense of humor is definately intact...

it is undoubtedly what kept me semi-sane
for the past year and a half of my turbulent life...

Laugh or cry???

i choose laugh.





This is where i gamble...

very few people know this about me...

but i am a bit of a big deal around Vegas...

A HighRoller, if you will.

but then again...

i also make up fantasy lives for myself ,in my head, ...

this also may contribute to the lil bit o sanity i happen to have left.




hmmmm ....

  Moving on:

this is me winning $255 SMAKEROOS

for reals...not for fakes...

i put 5 bucks in a $5 machine and

DING DING DING!

WINNER!



This is a magical fairytale like waterfall...

i wanted to live there....

but it turns out the castle is just painted on...
like a stage decoration...

bummer




this is me in front of the fresh flower butterfly statues.

the flowers were real.

strangely    though,

that means nothing to me...

i don't like the smell of flowers.

i just dont get that whole...

"stop and smell the flowers"  bit.

they just dont do it for me.

lame.  i know.




and this here is the  gondola ride at
the pallaza.

FUNNY STORY.



My mom and sister wanted to pay to ride it
and were excited to have some guy sing italian songs
to us  while floating through this river and under tunnels...

I, on the other hand,

was hating the idea of a strange man singing love songs to me.

I was hoping to get the pregnant lady that also works there.

I voiced my opinion to my mom and sister...

they didnt get it.

"it will be fun"...they tell me...






Uh huh.  right.

this is my lovely mother and sister who got on the boat first.
they chose the seat facing away from the singing man.





This is the singing man...

Italian love song singing man.




This is me. last one on the boat.  left to sit towards the love song singing man.

i am trying to look very interested in the architecture of the building around me...

just desperate to avoid

the awkward eye contact from the
singing man....

my mom had to get my camera from me and snap that shot...

just so after the gondola ride was over, she

could pull it out ...laughing at me and asking ..

"How long have you had such an interest in mall architecture?"


ugh!!!


evil, evil girls.






This is the spiderman i saw on the strip.

who's he trying to fool?






And  this is my adorable offspring that i got to

return home to after a long girls weekend.

I love being a mom.

the majority of the time.  

:)

thanks for stoppin by!
hope you enjoyed journeying with me!


xoxo  shell
