Everything is changing! Better or Worse? Only time will tell....

Lately it feels like things are drastically changing! It's been a hell of a ride! So, I feel its only right to give an update and get it all out!!

I am going to assign categories to keep everything in sync!

Vegas
Ahhh... Las Vegas. First of all, my room was fantastic! We stayed at the Palazzo Hotel. I had a King Size Suite with a sunken living room and an awesome view of the strip! It was single-handedly the nicest hotel I have ever stayed in... I did take ALOT of pictures of the room but, I will have to post them later. The Blackboard conference we attended was really great. I learned a good deal about some of the topics relate to my job!

The first night I had to gamble! There was no way I was going to vegas and not play the SLOTS! Low and Behold, I found a SOPRANOS slot machine! I was in HEAVEN! I played a little from about 8:30 until midnight... and when I got about $50 ahead... I had the control to stop and head to my room because I knew that I was going to have a few long days ahead. Needless to say, I became soo addicted to the Sopranos machine (I knew I was going to win the jackpot) that I played from 8pm - 3am!!! AHHHHH! I lost soo much money $$$$$$! It was painful... There is nothing worse than being broke in Vegas...

On the upside, I learned that from all my gambling I was awarded comp prizes!! I got free tickets to see the "Blue Man" group... it was way cool! Also, I got a $35 discover card to use anywhere on Venetian property!! Sweeet... The stores there were phenominal! It took me 2 days just to see everything!!! Soo Soo Cool... I have never walked more in my life... The weird thing that I found out about Vegas is that it gave me an EXTREME amount of energy... I never got tired or hungry... just thirsty! It was crazy! I did suffer from jet lag though... When I stopped moving... it nearly felt like my knees were going to give out and I would faint!

Friday was sorta a free day.... I tried to get out and see what I could see.. I went to Madame Tussand's wax museum... Really not all that impressive.. I think Ripley's believe or not was better when I was a kid... I did manage to make it over to Caesar's Palace and had lunch there...
Then before I knew it... it was time to go! I would love to go back to vegas some day because I didn't nearly get to see 1/4 of what I wanted to see there... it was just too cool! I need to go back sometime in the next three years when Cher is still there... I didn't get to see her show this time because she is on a break till August! :( I will be back sometime!

Ohhh... another cool thing I got to experience was an oxygen bar! It was pretty sweet... it totally clears your mind and relaxes you... the 4 types of massages didn't hurt as well.. :)

My Psychic Reading
So, I got a psychic reading when I was in Vegas at the client appreciation party thingy... The party was cool... kinda like a carnival... with all these different countries as "stations".. and all these games and fun stuff at each station... Well, one of the stations had fortune tellers.

I don't know how much I believe in all this... but, I figured I would document it here, just in case it happens... All I gave her was my birth date, mind you... NO names, job titles... or anything

-I am a multi-tasker... I can juggle all sorts of projects as long as I am interested
-I analyze everything and tend to sit on the fence alot
-Things are starting to come together for me
-I need to take opportunities when they come or they will stop coming
-My job needs me, expect big changes in October...
-I go back and forth with my health/diet... but, I am strong I know what needs to be done... this will be a battle I fight for the span of my life.
-I love to shop, but I need to be wary... and BUDGET.
-I will meet a special guy between mid-November and December... It will be in a busy place. We are going to instantly connect... He is very funny and a nice dresser... but, I will not marry him
-I will be married between ages 27-28
-I will have a daughter before I am 30.
-I will live to be at least 80.

Family
An update on the family subject.... The last I left off I was going to reach out to my distant aunt and try to reconnect.... My aunt was very excited to here from me.. She has sent me 3 cards and pictures.. She was going to plan to come down the next time I came... which turns out to be this weekend! I got to talk to to her on the phone before I left for vegas... Things are starting to feel right!

Here is the big shocker... I ended up sending my grandfather a thank you card for inviting my parents over to there house for the 4th of July... God must have given me the strength to do this... because this has been a LONG LONG battle I have been fighting the past 5 years... This hatred and disgust for my grandfather...

I guess I may have grown or something?! I have come to realize that you can't chose your family... They are all you got in this life... despite their faults... The choices they make are not mine... I don't have to live with them... and once they are gone... thats it.... you cant get them back.

So.... this Saturday alot of family members are coming over to my parents house... I am pretty nervous about this... I have no idea what the hell is going to happen! I will report back on this... eeeek :(

Gym
Well, today was a sad day for me... I had my last session with my trainer. Her and her family are moving to Goliad, Texas.. Her husband has just graduated with his teaching degree in ag and that place just happens to be where he got a job... Amy and I have worked out together for a year and 1/2... I didn't think I was going to get so tore out of shape... but, I should have known myself better.... I always get upset when people leave... in jobs, school, whatever... I don't like change :(

So, this starts a new phase for me... I don't have the $$ to continue with a new trainer... so, its up to me to figure out what to do... It is going to be hard for me to go back to that gym without Amy there... I may start membership at the gym on campus... :(

Fun Time
soooo..... I started NetFlix!!! I am anxiously awaiting my first 2 choices... I hope to get them before I leave for my parents this evening... "P.S. I love you" and "Mad Money"! It is pretty exciting!! haha :)

My gaming has declined since all the busy shit has started... and I am not too happy about it...

My cross-stitching has declined as well.... :(

I hope to get back in the swing of things since I will have the next two days off from work and heading to my parents! I am bringing the Wii!!! GAMING WILL COMMENCE! STITCHING WILL COMMENCE AS WELL!


This took quite a while for me to write up... lol Now, it is time to get out of here (work)!

Until the next time,
~T :)
