May just came and went……..

Posted under by Jenn

May 1st, that was strange is all I have to say.  That weekend just came and went.  Nothing special.

Mother’s Day at cousin’s house was a nice break from all the chaos.  Of course my Aunt’s tried to make a love connection between my friend Kevin and my cousin.  My friend Kevin wants to chat with my cousin again but that probably won’t happen until Thanksgiving.  Not really sure how both felt but hopefully there was a little bit of an attraction. :)  Not really sure because I left the gathering early that Sunday.

It was great seeing the family.  I must say it was the largest family get together in a really long time.  More family was there than I have seen at any Mother’s Day gathering.  Really happy that my cousins were able to accommodate such a large group of people (55).  The only challenging part is the driveway to her home.  Parking is all over the place.  The food of course was EXCELLENT:)  YUM.

Work just flew by.  Really busy.  When you want time to fly by it can.  You just have to make yourself busy.

Memorial Day weekend was Crazy.  My last day at work was Wed May 26th, the 27th thru the 30th I was in Vegas for a wedding and to let loose. :)

Hung out with my Mom and my Aunt/Uncle on Wed & Thursday night, even had my friend Jennifer come hang out and we chatted on my parents back patio for a little over an hour.  Thursday, Jennifer and I went to one of our favorite eateries in Vegas called the Yard House in Towne Square (which is a very fun area)- lots of shops, eateries, an outdoor strip mall with high end shopping.  We enjoyed happy hour or at least made our own happy hour (got extremely tipsy and left with smiles on our faces) and then went to go see Sex and The City 2 because we are huge fans.  We had our opinions but we will not ruin it for you guys.

Friday checked into the casino on the strip where most of the family was staying.  I thought we would all be on the same wing but we were all scattered.  At least I thought we would be in the same tower but we were not.  Friday, my Aunt, my cousin and I ventured over to Caesar’s Palace for some Vegas Nightlife mixing.  We walked through the casino and looked around for Free clubs to engage in some dancing.  Found a couple of free ones.  Danced to this kick ass female DJ that was mashing up some great songs together.  Any which way you put it, Vegas is extremely expensive for drinks- 2 for $25, insane.  They were strong and put in a slightly larger glass if i had to justify it.  My cousin whom is 39 was mistaken for a early 20′s gal.  Love It!  We then ventured over to the other bar with free dancing which is the place I dislocated or slightly un-aligned two of my toes on my right foot.  The walk back to our Casino was still extremely uncomfortable considering I had approx 12 cocktails in me, I could still feel the pain in my toes.  Went to bed approx 6:30 am, is all I have to say.  Time flies living the nightlife in Vegas.  i love Vegas.  Really happy my parents moved there and I am able to enjoy my time there and get to know the city.

I will have to write about Saturday (the wedding ceremony, the reception, and the aftermath in a diff email).  An extremely fun evening.
