Vegas Baby

Work work work as usual and then its rush to nap and fly to Vegas! I met Bill at the airport and we headed to our hotel where the Southwest Holiday Party was held. Those guys are a riot! I had a great time, despite the fact that the food poisoned me. I had to nap a bit more when we arrived since the 3 hours in the morning didn’t cut it at all. Big props go to Bill! I feel kinda like family as he’s the brother in law of my best friend, but this was the 3rd time we’ve met each other and he had to deal with me and my, well, issues. ;) The sweetheart walked to the store to get me drugs. I wasn’t sure I was gonna make it out of the hotel room or on the plane back to San Diego for that matter. LOL! Oh my life is grand!

I’m so grateful that I had a few more days off work to recover. In my dehydrated state, I knocked out a couple netflix movies. One which was so touching. Did anyone watch Seven Pounds? Will Smith was spectacular, but when is he not. I was so touched by the depth of his character’s guilt, love and sacrifice. Wow! Is really all I can say. If you’re wanting a good heavy drama, get it. And on a side note in reference to the movie, become an organ donor. For those that do it in life, big ups to you! In death, you can’t take it with you so why not donate your organs??

When I recovered, I went out on Friday to a Meetup group to see ‘Gay Comedy’. It was a hetero comic and his act wasn’t about the gay community or lifestyle. He was ok, but he kinda got on a soapbox towards the end when he realized that half the audience was gay and spoke of gay marriage. We came to laugh so make us laugh, don’t get all serious about things! Geez! A funny part of the act was the Dating Game where a gay gentleman chose from 3 contestants, some were gay and the others straight. Haha! The straight guy got chosen!!! The host was funnier than everything! I had to laugh though. A very nice lady who was part of my meetup group ’Drinking with Strangers’ didn’t realize that another group ‘Gay and Lesbian Professionals’ were all there. Not that it was a bad thing but, sometimes pics are taken at the functions and this lady was in the military…sooo. Needless to say, ducked out of every pic/video that was happening.

What a crazy night out!

The next day was with another meetup group to go ice skating in Viejas Outlet Center. I did pretty good considering I haven’t been on ice skates in at least 5 years! And I got to hang out with my sweet travel nurse from Missouri, Andrea. She’s such a blast! We couldn’t get enough of each other and met the next day for a little bit of kayaking in La Jolla Cove. We didn’t make it into the caves due to the high tide but it was a neat trip.
