Vegas Baby, Vegas

About to spend 6 days at the Venetian in Vegas. 6 DAYS. That's a lot of Vegas for a girl who doesn't gamble, drink heavily, or go clubbing. My friend Natasha is coming for a few of the days and we're going to two of my favorite restaurants so that'll be fun to share those with her. I will say the Venetian is beautiful which helps. I like my huge room and huge bathroom with the TV in it! Not too shabby. Plus, Bouchon Bakery makes a wonderful Mango Yogurt Parfait that I am very much looking forward to having for breakfast! Yummy! Okay, see. Focus on the positive. It'll go by fast right?

Cuckoo Calendar

Yup, you can purchase this lovely bird calendar at a truck stop on the drive between Metropolis, IL and Indianapolis, IN

I went to Hawaii and all I got was this jacked up tan...

Okay, the trip was great, but seriously? This tan is a straight-up mess. If I cussed I would say it’s effed up. I have two huge splotches on my face that look like heinous birthmarks (or like I have dirt on me). My chest has super dark spots in places, one which is peeling to reveal very pink, fresh skin underneath. Even my arms are off. I have a V shape of lightness on my right arm. Ugh. As a friend so kindly pointed out, “You’re from L.A. You should know how to apply sunscreen.” I really have no clue how this happened, but I’m hoping the next week spent in the cave that is known as the Venetian hotel with its fake blue sky will help even things out. That and switching between sunless tanner and skin renewal face cream.

Seriously this is so bad I won't even post pictures of it. I'll post pics of the trip itself later; just not the jacked up tan.
