Report from the field

Oh Hai. So, Day Three in Vegas and no hostages have been taken. Yet.

The weather is kinda wintery here and it rained a bit this afternoon. WTH?

We're having a good time at the track, like always. It's nice to see people we only see here and make new friends. It is a little odd not having a car here this year. But I think the good outweighs the meh. So many of our friend from home are here that a person forgets that we're not at home.

I chilled at the hotel this afternoon. Took a bath, caught up on the internet, and just breathed. I went upstairs to buy a hoodie then downstairs to Starbucks to buy some hot chocolate. It's been a good day. I'm seriously considering a nap.

It's been an interesting trip. The flight went well. My brother-in-law got hit on the entire flight by some chick. Who is staying at the Rio, in case he missed it the first two times.

The Nephew flew down on a one-way ticket and still has to figure out how to get home. I know, right?

I am driving a black Chrysler 300. Yeah baby. I love this car. I have always coveted them and now that I've driven one. Oh my God, I so want a car payment. (:-D


I missed the first snow at home. I am a little disappointed but then I remember I am in Vegas.

I brought my favorite black, zip up hoodie for the weekend. Totally broke the zipper on the first day. I thought I could work around it until I punched myself in the nose trying to zip it up. Not hot. Now I have a sporty black Vegas one that I love EVEN MORE.

I feel pretty comfortable driving in Vegas now. It's kind of fun. You get to people watch on the Strip and you get to see all the casinos. We travel north to the Speedway, which is unfortunately the rough side of town, so we've seen a few things we'd rather not see. (nothing bad really)

I am loving my Droid now. It's nice to not have to power up the laptop each night. I am not good at replying/commenting/twittering on it but I can at least read what's going on in the world.

I need to tell you about some big things that have happened but I will do those as separate posts.

Until then...Viva Las Vegas
