Lazy MONdays?

Woohoo Lazy Monday! Awesome. These are quite rare... I must really make the most of this. Anyway, this will be a hella* long update since lots n lots have happened in the last week. Or well, not much has happened, but I've traveled a bit.

Wednesday 5/23 - Went to work, went to Target with Emily and Michelle to pick up a few road trip accessories (AKA clothes), then hit the road with Emily, Michelle, Melissa, Sean, Brian, and Kishore to this little restaurant in Santa Cruz. I ordered the fish n chips and a mojito! It was quiet delicious. Then after lunch we headed toward Monterey and checked into the Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa around 4 pm. We had a drink then the girls headed up to the spa to get 50 minute massages. I must say a professional relaxing massage is probably the best thing ever. EVER. After the massages, we all showered and headed out to El Torito for dinner where we had yummy mexican food and margaritas. After dinner we had a few drinks at the hotel bar and then went to sleep around midnight.

Monterey 05/23 - 05/24/07

Thursday 5/24 - Had yummy breakfast then checked out of the hotel, went on a scenic drive, then walked around the beach before heading back to work. Got to work around 1 pm and did some work till about 6. Then Super Shuttle picked my ass up and off to the airport I went! I landed in Vegas around 10 pm where Sooz and Chris were waiting for me. We checked into Bally's around 10:30 pm, dropped our stuff in the room, and started walking around the strip to search for food. Everywhere was closed because it was only Thursday and we eventually stopped at Outback Steakhouse. Finally we walked back to the room and passed the hell out.

Friday 5/25 - Woke up at around 9 am, hit the pool around 10 am, hung out and tanned until about noon, then showered and got dressed. We had Bally's Buffet for lunch, which was NOT delicious and quite gross, then met up with Tracee and Jeremy. I learned how to play craps *Yay but lost $20 *Boo. After Sooz, Chris, and I took a nap and woke up around 6 pm. We drove out to the Zappos shoe outlet but it SUCKED, then we hit up the Fashion Show mall where I bought LOTS of stuff. After shopping, we went to Bellagio for dinner @ the buffet and it was about 100x better than Bally's. After dinner we went back to the hotel room, rested a bit, then walked to TI to hang out at Kahunaville. Kahunaville was a really chill tropical themed bar with DELICIOUS strawberry-coladas! So yummy. I had two and didn't even turn a LITTLE bit red. I was a tad bit tipsy tho.

Saturday 5/26 - Woke up early again to hit the pool, hung out there till about noon, then showered and got dressed for lunch. We drove out to Mandalay Bay for their buffet which was also deeeelish, then hit up the Shark Reef Aquarium at Chris' request. Although I think enjoyed myself WAY more... (I do love to look at things... especially random animals/fish). After the aquarium we took a nap in the hotel room then got ready for dinner at Lawry's. Lawry's was REALLY good... I actually finished my whole cut of meat, which I've never been able to do before! I LOVE the creamed corn too. MMmm. Our waiter was this really weird guy and his name was Mr. Munoz. Kind of pretentious for a server to go by his last name, isn't it? Or is it pretentious of me to find it odd that a server wants a formal title. Hmm. He was weird. Anyway, after dinner we went to Bellagio to see O. Cirque Du Soleil is awesome. Indescribable. The show was totally amazing, beautiful, and funny. I want to see all the Cirque shows now. Amazing. After O we were really tired so we just fell asleep.

Sunday 5/27 - Woke up around 10, got our stuff together and checked out around 11 am. After we checked out we headed over to the Wynn for their Buffet and I must say, it was a great place to end our trip. The food was so delicious... they had an omelette bar, gelato, pancakes, waffles, french toast, etc etc etc... SO GOOD. Man. I love food. After lunch we went to the Miracle Mile Shops @ the Planet Hollywood casino. We shopped at a lot of different stores (sephora, metropark, aldo, etc.) and finally I had to go to the airport at 5 pm. The flight wasn't too shabby but it seems that whenever I'm on a flight, I'm surrounded by really annoying stupid people that don't know how to shut their MOUTHS. There were a few fat girls that wouldn't shut up and behind me there were 3 old people totally bull-shitting each other. One guy was like, "Marketing? Yeah, I KNOW marketing. I do marketing for this landscaping company." Um, isn't that a fancy word for gardening? Stupid people. Ellen picked me up at around 8:15-ish and we had pho for dinner in Chinatown. After we just watched tv and hung out. Sweet.

Vegas!! 05/24 - 05/27/07

Today "Lazy Monday" 5/28 - Woke up after about 10 hours of sleep, hung around the house, then headed over to Union Square because I had nothing else to do. Met up with Ellen for lunch @ Boudin's which was yum yum yummy, then went to a few random stores because... well again, I had nothing else to do but shop and spend money. So I bought some clothes from Urban, bought some makeup from Nordy's, and a book from Borders. Weeee. Now I am home watching Run's House on MTV. Fabulous Lazy Monday!

*yeaaaah!
