New Year's Eve (week) in Vegas

I was going to post this in the other place but I can never get my pictures to upload. And before I dazzle all of you with said pictures I need to say that it fairly certain that Dbf and I will be driving from Ohio to Colorado Springs tomorrow night and then right back. We are taking the 'step-daughter from hell' back to momma. Any peeps on the way (I-70) let me know and we might have time to stop for a quicky on the way back.

New Years Night - we arrived at 9:30 p.m. and hurried to timeshare so we could get to the strip by midnight. My bum hip was a slight problem but we made it.


No I'm not the cutie on the wall.

Now I uploaded the pictures to share and they came up all out of order so my story has to be changed (to protect the innocent). Anyway, the next picture is the one I was saving for last 'cause, well cause it's a tribute to a wonderful peep. We were going from casino to casino our next to last day and there were these stands where they were selling this and that and lo and behold there was a 'cowboy hat' stand. So, here I am in my (actually theirs because I didn't buy it, just posed) cowboy hat (I don't look as good as Carey, but what the hey!!).



I have no idea why the necklace is in that position. I just noticed it! giggles.

Back to the story. We went to the valley of fire on the third day. I just love the red rocks against the blue sky. I actually had to hike myself up to get this picture and Dbf had to sit the camera on something and run up to get in the picture. And here we are!!

Now this is the picture that I uploaded first and it is last. The fireworks were spectabular!

This is my happy post (I'm alternating serious/happy until I run out of garabage in my head). Tomorrow will be the story of what happened to our house while we were enjoying Vegas!

And then we could be in the car for 4-5 days!

Great pics. Thanks for sharing. New Years and Vegas would be a blast. I always wanted to do that. Where are the rocks? I haven't ever been there. The hat looks great on you.

I've never heard of the Valley of Fire. I'll have to check it out. Now I see why we wear the same shade of Bare Minerals. *smooch*

You are gorgeous! You looked super in the hat. Should have bought it. I wanted to buy a cowboy hat at Xmas but ran out of time. Nice looking DBF!

Valley of Fire looks awesome.

Thanks for sharing your pics with us Lasann.

LOL at the boob cuppage. *snort*
Vegas is my favorite town on earth and I bet I have been to that cowboy hat stand. That's in old downtown, yes?
Cool pictures. *smooch* to the hottie. *grin*

Syren, yes and I couldn't get the pictures to rearrange so I rearranged the story.

Momma - the trip was good the coming home, not so much.

Sonya, the valley of fire is ne of vegas about 1 hour.

Puffy, Bare Minerals tried to ship to me again. Charged the credit card and I called them yesterday.

Thanks, Nookie. I keep telling Dbf not to get my extra weight around the middle in pics but he always does, so I cropped it this morning. Not too bad for 54. I have always hated the oobies but as I gain weight at least they are a distraction from the waist. giggle.

Thanks Carey. My Dbf didn't get it when I explained that this girl online has a picture with a cowboy hat and I had to do this. He just scrunched up his face!! lol

Blue - No her name isn't buzzard. It's bitch!

He'll learn. Imagine my poor Michelle when a 3 foot inflatable banana showed up in the mail. I almost had to pay her to take me to Pac Bell park to take pictures. and even then, she insisted on walking three feet away from me so as not to be seen. *snort*

Love the pictures...the trick to uploading pictures in blogger is that it always puts the picture at the top of your post. I will leave a blank spot at the top and then cut and paste the code as I post my pics so they are in the right order.

Carey,

Blogger Bravie said...

You're right, it won't let me post any comments.
Awesome pictures though. I think I have been to Pike's peak when i was a kid. We did a lot of travelling back then.
Thanks for the update. *smooch*

Sounds like SD is a handful. Yikes.

Can't post comments above. Looks like it got turned off in your template. I did this before by accident. Either way, I'm jealous. You get to go everywhere.

I can't get the comments turned back on. I've gone to dashboard and clicked on comments and selected new posts will have comments. Help?

Check settings and check template. Try posting another post, just a test post and see if the feature returns.

Sonya, I do get to travel alot. Although this was a tiring trip it was worth it to see Colorado.

My travel is an adiction - I am complete, udderly broke but I have two trips planned and booked. One for 2 nights to DC in April and one for 7 nights to the 4-corners area in May. The nights are covered by my timeshare payments but there is a much bigger cost than the room.
