Into the Desert on My Birthday


It's My Birthday Today!
d=(^_^)=b

Thanks to everyone who sent me happy birthday wishes!

Richard Checking In to Our Hotel

Woke up nice and early once again so I could catch my plane to Las Vegas. Said goodbye to Dwoira and made my way to the Muni. Happily for me, I made it to every part of my transportation on time. The airplane ride was pretty easy. I was so tired though that I kept nodding on and off. It took forever for the plane to leave San Francisco but it was hard for me to tell since I was asleep. I couldn't wait to lay down in a bed and take a nap!

Linda and Other Lady: Crazy Holiday Inn Express Ladies

When I got to Las Vegas I met up with Richard! It was really great to see him there and I was happy to be with someone I knew. We tried to figure out if we could get a shuttle to our hotel but apparently it's so remote that we had to take a cab. The driver didn't know how to get there so we had to guide him lol. It cost us $40 to get there! We feel we were ripped off =/ But whatever, we were there. 

Awesome Cowboy Kids Room

When we checked into our hotel we were greeted with some very interesting characters. The two ladies (one in particular named Linda) were very talkative with us. I have a feeling that's probably normal for Richard because he's the same kind of person. Anyway, they were joking with us back and forth. She asked us if we wanted to keep the king sized bed or if we wanted two twins. We're both like, uh twins please and she said, "Well you never know!" And of course Richard had to make it worse by saying, "Oh no, we broke up months ago." Dear lord, I could have killed him. haha. Then she asked us if we wanted the Kids Suite because it had more room for the same price. It came with a bunk bed and a king sized bed. We agreed because it seemed kinda crazy. Richard also mentioned to everyone we met that it was my birthday...trying to get a discount haha. Linda gave me a hug instead =P

My Birthday Cake from the Hotel!

We went up to the room and OMG it was amazing. The whole kids section was cowboy themed. See the pictures I took to comprehend the awesomeness. I totally crashed on the bed and checked my email on their free wireless (woot). I had many emails from facebook because everyone was saying happy birthday to me. Richard spent the majority of his time talking to or trying to talk to Kirk. haha Just like the good ole' times. I also called and talked with a lot of people. I was oddly busy when I arrived at the hotel =/

Chipotle: My Birthday Dinner

I was going to meet my friend Chris today too but we ended up not being able to because he had stuff to do for his show (Le Reve). Richard and I went downstairs to the hotel's free "picnic" thing that had pulled pork sandwiches, macaroni salad, potato salad and chips and salsa. Not great but hey, it was free. Then to my surprise Linda from the front desk brought out a cake with my name on it! She also gave me a card that was signed by the staff! Isn't that crazy? Who know hotels would do that? haha. The cake was rather large and everyone in the lobby was eyeing it so I offered it up to everyone and thankfully they all helped me eat it ^_^

Richard Playing the Slots!

The rest of the night was pretty relaxed. Richard and I worked on our stuff for the McGurkus audition tomorrow. I realized that I needed blank CDs so we walked to Target which was much farther away then we realized. It was hotter then anything I'd ever felt before! It was almost 10 at night and I felt like I was in a sauna being hugged by a heated blanket. Gross =( On our way back to stopped at Chipotle for my birthday dinner. Then we took a shortcut through the Sunset Station casino. Richard and I shared a dollar and played the slot machine. We didn't win anything but every time I've been in Vegas I've played the slot machine once. We crashed around eleven...I was freaking exhausted! Not to mention, I was extremely anxious about the audition tomorrow morning...oh boy!
