The Mom that Didn't Sleep
Wow.What a whirlwind of a trip.
48 hours.
I'm exhausted.
Vegas was FUN.
Not just fun, fun. But, AH-MAZING Fun!
The best kind right?
I've got tons of photos to edit and post.
Tons of smokey laundry to wash.
Lots of skin to moisturize (man Vegas is a desert isn't it?).
Ellen was spectacular. I was star-struck the minute I stepped into the Colosseum and saw the stage set up for her show. (Show airs Monday)
When she rose from the floor and stood there waving and dancing, I was just in awe.
She was everything in person that you could expect; funny, talented, and gorgeous!
Bette Midler, who is performing her stage show at Caesars, was one of her guests.
As was singer, PINK!!! She is hot, so adorable, and a fabulous performer!!
Magician Hans Vlok or Blok, or VLOGGGUUUCCHHH (no i didn't just clear my throat) was also there. Think Fabio, with shorter hair, fan blowing at him like he's trapped in a windstorm, and making stuff disappear!
We danced for 3 hours straight, and me in my heels....oh my aching feet.
Check back in a few days for some more, i'll have my pics uploaded by then.
Sunday is catch up on sleep day.
Do you know you aren't allowed to sleep in Vegas, it's a rule. I think it's because your judgement is clouded by casino smoke and 3 feet tall drink-glasses(the ones with the strap around your neck) full of liquidy deliciousness.
And, when you're under that influence you make poor decisions like going "all in" with a two of hearts and a 9 of spades, start pole dancing at the sports bar, or when you buy a sculpture of the Statue of Liberty in the New York, New York gift shop for $3200.
Yeah, they like when you don't sleep.
