SURPRISE!!!!! Vegas, part 1

So this past weekend found me jet setting down to Las Vegas to surprise my friend, Princess Nalini. I had this trip planned for weeks & have been so desperately wanting to write about it but alas a surprise is a surprise. I did almost give myself away a couple of times last week but managed to cover myself up somewhat... That's the beauty of being random. People take your excuses as just that.

I found the best way to get over the fear of flying is to down a couple of beers and have very strong urge to pee... so much so that the women in the aisle across from you is prompted to ask if you are ok....

Yea, I board the plane & kinda had to go but thought I can just wait til the no-seat belt sign is taken off... do we take off right away? no.... no we sit on the tarmac to wait our turn in line. Then we hit turbulence.... can't turn off the sign just yet. I thought I was doing ok. I wasn't wiggling around too too much and that I was staying relatively under control. Was happy to notice that the take off didn't completely freak me out. Maybe it was the steady breathing I was focusing on. I was gonna be damned if I wet myself... that was the only pair of jeans I was taking with me that weekened! It's when i was leaning forward & the women across the aisle asked if my ears hurt that I decided to just F' it & got up and went to the lavatory.... BIG sigh of relief! Didn't stop me from ordering more beer however.

Aside from that, everything else was going smoothely. The flights were on time, the weather forecasts were for glorious & hot and BFF had some friends, Juggs & her fiancé, in from Detroit as well for long weekend festivities. It wasn't until the plane landed in Vegas that I received a text from BFF explaining that Princess Nalini was opting to stay home that night WHICH ruins the very surprise we had planned that night: me. It's about here I start to panic.

We were going to have her meet up with us at Red Square, a Vodka Bar in Mandalay Bay. I was going to either going to hide out in the corner and keep sending her random texts from BFF's phone confusing her to no end or I was going to phone her & ask her to go for drinks & say that it's quite possible & come around the corner. No, not that night..... my girl had cramps. Her staying home ruins that element of surprise somewhat & well...... WHAT THE HELL WAS I THERE FOR?

So once we rounded me up from the airport, Juggs tried a very convincing argument on her over the phone. So much so that even I was convinced if I wasn't already. She ended with "fine, if I can't convince you, may be someone else can". I hop on the phone & say "I flew my ass all the way down here so I can see you & you tell me that you can't come out tonight????"

"You F'n bitch"

Thanks... I love you too, schnookums.
