Back from Vegas

So I was gone for about 5 days in Vegas, half work and half fun. I flew out of Burbank Wednesday afternoon and got into Vegas around 4:30, took a taxi to the Hardrock and checked in, then went out to eat and did a little gambling. I had to be in the conference room the next morning by 8:00, got done by around 4 and then the owner of the company hosting the conference took us all to dinner and drinks at a German restaurant across the street. That was fun, with a band and lots of tourists. The second day of the conference was a little boring, just playing around on our laptops and I couldn't get the application to work because I don't have admin rights so... I basically read news stories and such.
That night (Friday) the BF drove up from LA, got into Vegas around midnight, we went to get something to eat and then back to the hotel for some adult entertainment ;)
Saturday we gambled a little, then drove out to the mall near Henderson and I picked up two new bras and panties from Victoria's Secret and he took me to see Zumanity that night. That's a pretty cool show, if you haven't seen it, very sexy and fun.
We drove back Sunday, didn't get home until 9 pm, just took our time, went by the Hoover Dam cuz I'd never seen it, stopped for lunch in Needles, for dinner in Gardena, it was a nice weekend.
I am still in the process of packing, got all my books into boxes, one box of bathroom stuff done, going to work on the kitchen next. I hate packing, but it will be worth it ;)

What's new?

Going to Vegas this afternoon for a work conference, it came up fairly suddenly last week. The conference is only Thurs & Friday but I have to fly out today and since I'm going to be there anyway, I asked the BF to meet me so we are spending Sat & Sun there together, s/b fun. I've been packing boxes, cleaning out old papers, etc, trying to get ready to move. It looks like I'll be moving in on the 25th, I'm excited, I think this will really be a good thing :)
My mom is out of the hospital, they still don't know exactly what was going on but her blood pressure is stableized and her dizziness seems to be mostly gone.
That's about all that's going on with me, will post more during/after Vegas!

Meet the family

Lots going on here in So Cal. My mom is in the hospital with congestive heart failure. She went in Saturday and is now doing ok, hopefully she'll be able to go home sometime this week. The real problem is the she's still smoking, even though she's been on oxygen for at least 6 years at this point and her blood isn't oxygenated enough which makes her heart work harder... so if she can't finally quit smoking I don't know how long she'll be around. It sucks and I really don't want to lose her but I know how she is and I'm not very hopeful that she'll quit.
On the BF front, I met his WHOLE FAMILY yesterday. For some reason I thought it was just going to be a small brunch with his brother and sister-in-law for her birthday but it was also his parents, his grandmother, her parents, brother and SIL, and a bunch of her friends. So I got to meet everyone right off the bat. It went well though, everyone was nice although his father is not very friendly or outgoing, but oh well, can't have everything. Then we went to WalMart and a couple of other places to look at furniture options for the kitchen and bathroom so we can add more storage. It was a nice weekend except for my moms health issues.

New roommie

So guess who's moving in with their boyfriend? Why yes, that'd be me! We were at WalMart today (which I hate but there wasn't a Target around) and I was buying a new toothbrush and asked if it would be ok to get an extra and keep it at his house. And he said, yeah, of course. Then when I was figuring out which ones I wanted he said, "why don't you just move all your stuff into my place?" and I was like "hm, are you sure?" and he said yes and I thought about it and looked at toothbrushes and then I said, "ok, I could do that" and he said "yeah, move all your shit in and keep it there but of course you'll still stay in your place" hahaha, he's a riot. So I'm moving in, I am going to give notice for my apartment tomorrow and start going thru said shit because after being here for over 5 years I have a lot of it. Wow, I haven't lived with anyone in a long time and it's been even longer since I've lived with a man. Plus, he has two cats, not sure how Monkee is going to get along with them. It's scary but also really cool and exciting. Wish me luck :)
