My husbands a flirt!

November 14, 2007 by Tricia

Wordless Wednesday

My husbands quite a character as a lot of bloggers found out when we were in Vegas this past week. Above is a photo of him Schmoozing it up with Heather from Beautiful BC and her daughter Crystal.

As if that weren’t enough he got real close and in your face with Heather

And then flirted with her daughter Crystal too!

What a guy!

Oh and in case your wondering – he’s like this all the time! He’s quite a character to live with!

I seem to have a number of photos of Heather with two drinks in her hands. Must have been a tough flight. Perhaps she was de-stressing? 🙂

You can see more photos from my trip to Vegas at Flickr.

We’re home and I’m freezing!

We’re back from Las Vegas!

I was just saying on my gardening blog that I already miss the Vegas weather as it’s cold and dreary here in Toronto! I am, however, very glad to be home since I continued to be quite sick while I was away on my trip and managed to get even sicker!

It’s much better to be at home when you feel absolutely horrible. If my Crohn’s acting up wasn’t enough I woke up with a terribly sore throat this morning. I’ve been drinking warm liquids all day and sometimes it feels a bit better but then it gets worse again. I hope it’s just post nasal drip or something making my throat feel so bad and not strep throat or something.

Other than not feeling very well while I was in Las Vegas I managed to have a good time. I met up with some bloggers that I’ve known for years, others that I’ve only known a short while and hopefully made a few new blogging friends too.

We never managed to have time to try out the gambling in Vegas, so I missed out on that experience -gambling virgin that I am! Oh well. We did go out to a few clubs, one of which was the famous TAO nightclub at the Venetian Hotel.

TAO is huge! It’s a beautiful nightclub though, and the staff were very friendly. Oh and their finger foods were delicious! They served us spring rolls, sushi, won tons filled with shrimp and lobster, Kobe beef mini hamburgers and tiny deserts. I’m sure there were a few other finger foods that I missed too. All were delicious!

On Thursday night my husband and I got together with Mr. Fab from Pointless Drivel. He’d already eaten but he met us at the Outback while we ate. We then got in touch with some of the other bloggers that were in town for the convention and we all eventually met up at a bar called Tattoo Alley.

What a great time!

The band was fantastic and I think we all had a good time drinking and talking and joking around. My husband Chris bought a feathered boa for Mr. Fab and when the other bloggers joined up with us the boa got passed around. I think Colleen or Jules were last scene wearing it.

I’ve got lots of photos to upload and post. Some could be embarrassing to those who were with us that night! I’ll get them up soon!

More about my trip later. I’m still recovering!

I made sure I’m insured

November 8, 2007 by Tricia

Oh speaking of Vegas … I’m glad I took out medical insurance. I’ve been so sick with my crohns in the past week that I seriously thought about canceling my trip. I actually should have since I ended up having a bowel obstruction. Believe me, I don’t want to end up in a hospital in the States but if I do I did take out insurance.

I think my husband wishes we got a new term life insurance quote! He’s terrified of flying and I’m sure he thinks that something bad will happen either on the way there or the way back! Me I’m more worried that something will happen while we’re there such as me getting sicker! I’m also the worlds biggest clutz too so you just never know what will happen with me around.

Keep some good thoughts going that our flight and short stay in Vegas go well?

I want to start traveling more

November 2, 2007 by Tricia

Speaking of traveling, if my husband doesn’t get too panicked while flying next week, and if my ears make it through, I’d like to start doing a lot more traveling. After all, when I purchased our tickets and hotel package for Vegas we ended up getting a membership with a travel club. I figure we might as well take advantage of the deals on packages, flights and hotel stays if we’re up for it.

I’ve never been to New York city so I’m picturing us going there for at least a long weekend, maybe a trip to Chicago on another extended weekend to see Chris’ brother and various other short vacations here and there too. Who knows, maybe we’ll even take a trip out west to Vancouver to see my brother and some of our friends too.

Can you tell that I’m sick of being cooped up in this house! Uh huh. Trying being sick for two years. I’ve got a yearning to travel, or well – just get out of here for a while.

One place that might be nice to visit is Pigeon Forge cabins in the Smokie mountains. The cabins look beautiful with hot tubs outdoors and beautiful scenery from every window. Perhaps we could make it a ski vacation?

Now that’s a laugh. The super klutz wants to go skiing. I’ll probably come back with a broken leg!

Getting hyped up about our trip to Vegas

November 2, 2007 by Tricia

I’m getting all geared up for the trip to Vegas next week. We’re going to the Blogworld and Postiecon conventions and I’ve been busy trying to get everything I’ll need prepared for the trip.

I’m excited and nervous about going to Las Vegas all at the same time.

I’m excited because it’s the first time I’ve flown anywhere this century!

Now that I wrote that, it kind of sounds weird doesn’t it, but honestly, I haven’t been on a plane since oh … 1998. I’m also nervous because every time I do travel by plane my ears hurt like crazy. I used to be able to fly without any problems, but ever since I got my tonsils out at the tender age of 21 my ear drums just about explode when I fly. Seriously, I’ve gone to the doctor after a flight and been told that my ear drums were so inflamed that the doctor was surprised they didn’t burst.

Chris, my husband, is afraid of flying. So between the two of us – me likely with a face full of gum and swallowing like crazy with a pained look on my face and my husband trying to stave off a panic attack we’ll probably be quite the pair.

I’m also nervous because I agreed to speak or well, be on a panel, at Postiecon and well … I’m kind of shy, especially in crowds. I probably won’t really start having fun on the trip until I get that over with on Saturday morning.

I think I’ll just write off Thursday evening. If we feel up to it we’ll try to get together with some of our blogging friends, but I think Chris will be tired as he’ll be taking ativan or valium for the flight, and well, I’ll be full of decongestant, allergy meds, aspirin and anything else I can get my hands on to keep my ears from becoming inflamed during the flight. The last time I flew I was pretty buzzed for about 12 hours when I landed. All those meds took a toll on me. So I think we’ll be in flight recovery mode Thursday night.

Are you going to Vegas next week for the blogging conventions?
