Leanne Doesn't Sleep...

When Char introduced me to her BFF, she followed up the introduction with "she doesn't sleep" to which I was shocked as... yea I do... A LOT actually. In my regular every day life, I need to get a minimum of 8 hours a night or I'm a useless bag of shyte. However, when I awoke Saturday morning at 9 after going to bed around 430, I was starting to possibly agree with her.

Yes, after the disappointment of turning down gambling someone else's money, we headed home & hit the sack. I went for another leisurely stroll (was for selfish reasons, I may not need sleep but after drinking, downing Gatorade is a must!).

I got back to find Char trying desperately to figure out why her cable box isn't working, nor is the internet anymore and before we knew it.. the cell phones were not working in the condo either. Was actually kinda creepy as it felt like we were in some B rated horror movie. When I lost my hairbrush I was convinced of it. Someone was ensuring we'd be ugly & cutting off all ties to the outside world! Actually, I'm just a ditz & left my brush on the kitchen counter but it was fun to try & create a plot line.... We finally gave up on any cable, grabbed a quick breakfast & headed out to Henderson for a day at the spa!

Let me tell you something.... you should always ALWAYS vacation like this:

(granted this is of a set up like a wedding but it ALMOST makes me want to take the plunge... ok who am I kidding, I went downstairs and put my name down on their waiting list... hey! I've had my stag, just gotta find the man now)

But yes, it was swank complete with champagne... I LOVED IT. Best xmas present by far.

AFTER (it's a real shame what happened to my foot no new years... that'll come in time)

Anyways, after a day at the spa it seemed fitting to pick up a guy in a mercedes on the highway... I didn't but you bet your ass my girl did. Some guy rolls up next to us & rolls down his window... really they were both smoothe. He asked where she was going, she replied home & he says: not before you get my number! Loved it. I also love the woman sitting shotgun did not phase my girl... If I had an ounce of self confidence that girl has, I would rule the world!

Anyways, we headed back & napped. (see I do sleep) BFF decided that she needed to conserve her energy for the big new years night and try & battle her cold so she declined on joining us out that evening.

So Char took me out to her favourite Casino, The Hard Rock. She decided that she was going to find me another cuban that was willing to let me gamble his money away. We got there probably around 11 after fighting traffic on the strip... sitting in your car with traffic not moving is probably the MOST annoying thing in the world.... Anyways.. LOVE LOVE LOVE the Hard Rock.. so much fun.

We hit the bar first because well, we needed to kickstart our eveing & I was having trouble getting my game face on. After talking to what could only be the 2 biggest in denial gay guys we've ever met... (buddy informed me that cdn girls were his favourite because we apparently love 3some's... well, if that wasn't an awkward hint, I don't know what is)... We finally hit the tables. I've never sat at black jack or roulette tables before because I find it a bit intimidating.

I ended picking Roulette because really how hard is it to pick numbers to put your chips on? That's when buddy approaches the table but the dealer wasn't giving him any attention. I managed to flag frankie's attention and the guy was thankful... so much that when I ran out of chips he started handing me his.... KA CHING... actually, no, I lost that money too but he suggested we move to the black jack table so past the bank machine I go.... really, I should just hand the 100 over to the cashier instead of going through the effort of playing games... not so bad because again, when I'd lose, he'd hand over chips to me. Apparently I lost out though. Later when he tried to hold my hand, I informed that I hate that (actually, a lot of it was him, he had bad hair... I'm joking.... sort of... ) he got frustrated & told me I was going to miss out on my big surprise.. what? money??

Anyways.. I went back to the original black jack table which brought his buddy luck and before you know it, he too started handing chips over... let me tell you.. I LOVE THIS TOWN! I love any place where men just give you money to hang out with them... Wait! that sounds wrong... but you know what I mean... hopefully... no really, I was just sitting there.. k.. that sounds worse. I better stop before I really put my foot in my mouth (too bad there's a picture on this site of that)

Finally around 5 am... Charlene & I were tired and broke so called it a night. When I woke around 1pm the next day (see... SLEEP) the question at hand was: Are we ready to do it all over again... it's new years after all but we gotta start at 5:30 this time.... are you ready?
