Living the Vegas Life

I just got back from Vegas.
And let me just say, I can't think of a better way to spend to start off my 30th year of life.


SITScation Totally Rocked!



I got to meet some pretty famous bloggers
Mama Kat, Summer, Heather, Tiffany, Connie, Angie, Rachel, Lolli, Shannon

Posted by Picasa

And I spent the weekend having the time of my life.
I learned a lot,
talked a lot and barely stopped smiling.
But all I can show you of the weekend is this.



Because what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!


But I have to tell you that I do have a slightest pang of guilt for having such a fabulous time in Vegas.
Because here at home, my children came down with the stomach flu.
And as children do when the are sick, they passed it onto their caregivers----my parents.
So not only did my parents have to chase after my crazy children all weekend, they had to do while worshiping the porcelain throne.

Sounds like you had fun.

Sounds like your parents did not.

Yeah for you!!!!!!

Heather said...

So glad you had a good time, 'cause it sounds like it won't happen again for a long time if your parents have any say in the matter. Poor things.

At least it was worth it!

How did I not know that it was your birthday? What?!? We should have been buying you an ice-cream sundae on Saturday night! :)

I have to tell you what a pleasure it was to meet you and your husband in person, Jen. Just reconfirmed my allegiance to you and your blog. Great fun!

Thanks for sharing some of the photos ... it looks like you all had a great time. And don't feel bad ... I mean, it isn't like you injected them with the flu on purpose.

It was such a pleasure to meet you IRL. I had the BEST time with you and your man Saturday night. (Oooh that sounds dirty.) Really, thanks for making my evening so much fun.

Lollidale Farm said...

I need to get a copy of the birthday picture (although I KNOW that my crown was looking mighty retarded on my head....) Still, the birthday shot SHOULD have made my whrrl story.

Hey--where was our birthday cake? Just realized.

Lollidale Farm said...

Wait! Did you really just list me with the famous people? I love you all the more now.
