Gypsy Design :: The Stew

Yes...I know...haven't written in a while, but far too much is going on and i needed to recover from a never ending cough *hack* that still rears it's ugly head at inappropriate moments. So any way...onto my so called life...vegas....was fun. Cuteboy treated everyone to nice limo ride to the hotel (MGM Grand) and we had a lovely room with thecoolest tub I'd ever seen...corner tub with jets ...I lost money the entire time we were there with the exception of the first night where i won a little at slots. I learned I suck at blackjack. Gambling aside though, the shows were awesome we saw STOMP and  Cirque du Soleil's "O". got swim in the river pool and saw some beautiful over the top hotels to boot.

 

 

 People we went to Vegas with...Phil, Christen, Rebecca & Alex

 

 

Fuzzy picture of everyone on our way to "O"

 

Cuteboy and me in the Paris Hotel Shops (my camera hates me btw...so adds 15 pounds...)

 The coolest thing happened on the way home though as we waited in the airport in vegas to go home, we played slots and lo and behold on borrowed 10.00 from cuteboy i won about 350. vegas redeemed itself to me and i used the money to take cuteboy to Christopher's ...the poshest restaurant in town here...twas worth it too..sooooo good. but before christopher's yummy goddness, I came home sick, and even better my parents had taken over my house in refuge from Hurricane Ike eating the roof off of their house. I intended to use the rest of my vacation for catching up on freelance and being kind of stifled in my house with 4 dogs and 3 people it really was the only thing i could do to keep myself from going crazy. Luckily cuteboy rescued me a few times so i didn't hurt anyone and i got lots of work done at least.. My parents are now staying at a hotel near their house so they can watch over the repairs. 

oh yes the cow....about a week ago a cow made it's way across the fence from the pasture that is across my townhome..(that's very common in texas) aand decided to go for a walk in my complex....

 

 
 
anyhoo....been trying to get more freelance to payoff stuff faster and possibly acquire new frige and dishwasher. cuteboy did graciously meet parents under the circumstances of hurricane refuge...i totally adore him for stepping up, although I think it was more nervewracking for me as it just brought back some crappy baggage of sentiment and hurt for me. I tend to compartmentalize that part of my life and past mainly because i want to protect the rest of my life from it....it's a little weary mingling the 2 as i don't want the ickyness to overtake the awesomeness....
