The things people do.......

    So Shane and I had a first time, unusual, doesn't happen everyday experience Friday evening. It has been a long time (like a year and a half I think) since I have gone to the club to dance with the girls. The girls and I missed dancing (there is no better way to shed some pounds) so we planned an evening out. I took Shane along with me because it's nice for a group of girls to have at least one male presence for safety, but mostly because I just like to hang out with him :)

    Anyway Shane and I arrive first. The place is busy but we manage to find one lone empty table. The table next to us is reserved with ballons and such. We sit down and wait for my friends when a strange man comes up and starts talking to us very friendly like. Then his girlfriend/wife joins. I found it very odd but just assumed they were a very outgoing couple. Soon they tired of chatting (we weren't being extremely engaging) and asked if we had met the "hostess" and they wandered off. Well the hostess it seems was hosting a swingers party right there in that table with the balloons which was also including our unmarked table. She explained it should have been marked too, but invited us to stay anyway. Join the fun I suppose. Well needless to say we moved real quick.

   And this details our night of being propositioned by swingers. I guess that's what happens when you have a handsome husband. :)

Viva Las Vegas

  Shane and I recently found ourselves childless for a several day stretch. So we did what anyone would do in that rare situation, and traipsed off to Vegas. The last time we were able to get out of the state was on our honeymoon. This was a much anticipated trip. One of the things we had discovered early on in our relationship is that everything together is fun. Even mundane everyday stuff like shopping. So playtime is especially wonderful together. Did we ever play! We took a chance on Hotwire.com and landed a great suite at a great price at the Vdara hotel. Our room overlooked the fountains of Bellagio. Which I was overly excited about. We did the usual fun things....rode the rollercoaster, went through the shark reef, shot up the Stratosphere, went to Hoover dam, ate lots of things we shouldn't have, gambled (not very much), explored the casinos, sat by the pool, etc. We even caught a show. "O" a typically amazing Cirque du Soleil production. I haven't seen one that hasn't impressed. Needless to say we missed our kids yes, but we also want to go back. The worst part of a vacation is the return to everyday. Back to work and cleaning and projects etc. It is nice to be home again. Nice to see smiling faces and cute sassy personalities. So back to the grind, and here's looking forward to the next getaway.....
