disneyworld, vegas and target

mourning.....
the loss of my beloved Mickey Mouse mug - the only Disney thing i have ever liked.  it has moved house with me a million of times (at least 10!) and faithfully served my coffee (and milky tea while pregnant/poorly) every morning for the past 20 years.  i loved it so much that i vowed that the day it broke would be the day i would stoically return to the Magic Kingdom to select it's successor........ but i just can not go back there :|  my sweet kind adorable hubbie quickly bought an identical mug on eBay to save me from the trauma that is the happiest place on earth ;) 

trying to decide however....
if it's a sign that we should go to Florida this summer instead of Cape Cod.  it's 500 miles closer, which when you're driving 3000 miles is neither here nor there... oh, what to do.  i am definitely - most definitely - absolutely not going anywhere near Disneyworld if we go to Florida though... sign from above or not.... Epcot maybe... i actually didn't absolutely hate that place to death :) 

not buying....
summer tickets for Barry Manilow at the Hollywood Bowl (on 4th July with fireworks and a fancy orchestra!!) or Neil Diamond at the Greek (and let me tell you, i absolutely love him!!!)... because of this big sea-to-shining-sea trip.  i sure hope i don't live to regret this :|

actually liking....
Target - OK not really but not hating it as much as usual.  they have these magical jeans that are clearly sized completely wrong because a size 6 fits and no muffin top either :|  of course i bought every pair on the rack (sadly only 2 pairs... thanks, stupid Target) and am never ever removing that tag :)  and i had a $3 off coupon which i used 4 times (ruffly tanks were only $3!!!) even though it clearly says one coupon per customer - take that, Target!!

reading....
Junie B Jones - she is bratty and annoying and makes me realize how absolutely precious Danny truly is :)  but she uses the word stupid all the time which i completely love.  here in America 'stupid' is supposedly a bad word, which is plain stupid.  i think 'stupid' is only a bad word in as much as there are far better ways to describe someone's crapness.  just as 'nice' is a bad word too, because there are better ways to describe someone's awesomeness :)

wanting....
Grease on DVD.  it's not on netflix which makes me want to cancel it immediately  (i blame that revolting fatass Rush Limbaugh ;) 

making....
a playlist of summer songs for the beach house - not that i'm counting but it's 25 days........

living....
off Italian vegetable soup for the rest of May.  it has 50 calories and 4 grams of fiber (not that i'm obsessively counting calories either... or keeping a journal of, ahem, input and output ;)

wanting....
to invent a toilet seat that weighs you.  for obvious reasons (see above) :|

pictures from Vegas:
Crystals - not a single solitary shop fit for regular human beans but it was oh soooo beautiful!  
  



Gordon Ramsay's steak house is coming soon - because Paris is the closest thing to London in Vegas....?  hmmmmmm....

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz is exactly what we thought of the Cosmopolitan :)

and don't EVER waste your time looking for the secret pizza - because it's absolute crap (and on the 3rd floor if you don't believe me and like cardboard with cheese on top:)


been there done that also



the Cosmopolitan made me feel this color (also: disappointed and pissed off about that pizza when there's Grimaldi's in Vegas - lots of them and they are wondeful!)


Bellagio used to be our favorite hotel.... then they built those towers.....
.... and it turned into a zoo :(        


found a warehouse in the desert full of delights from around the world :)


Vegas minus children equals AWESOME!!

our absolutely free hotel with not even any tax (and we didn't charge a single penny - ha!)
Vegas minus children equals AWESOME!!

the wait for ridiculously expensive fancy celebrity chef food: not worth it :)


pumpkin bread in the greasy cafe downtown: soooo much better :)
