Las Vegas

I've been neglecting my blog for a while. I've had visitors and I've been busy. Plus I've had 2 comments in the past week, so I'm not really all that eagar to post... sigh.

Anyhow we went to Vegas over the long weekend. It was interesting.
Vegas is a strange place. I havne't yet decided if I liked it. All of the lights are all pretty and what not, but they are also garish. They look so unnatural on the backdrop of the desert.

While we were there we were solicited for a time share. Which is an interesting concept, but Adam and I aren't in the right place in our life right now. But they kept pushing and pushing, and finally they just got beligerent and gave up. It was mildly amusing. The manager who was really working us was a horrible sales person. She couldn't keep a consistent argument as to why we should purchase a time share. She started by saying that it was a great investment, then 5 minutes later she would say that it isn't an investment. She said that she wouldn't get in the way of us buying a house, then she would comment that if we couldn't afford the payments for a time share, then clearly we couldn't afford a house.
"Because it's only $128 a month!"
I explained to her the latte factor. She just rolled her eyes at me.
Finally the whole arguement broke down, we want to buy a house, houses here are $850K and we understand that vacations are good for a marriage but at this time and place in our marriage, a house is priority.
So we didn't get the time share, and they ran out of the $100 visa gift cards that we were supposed to get. Bastards!

While we were in Vegas Adam got sick. The doctor says it's a stomach flu, which is still plauging him. Poor guy eats, and 10 minites later is running off to the washroom to uhhhh... eliminate. I've been giving him lots of Gatorade and Cream of Rice cereal. The doctor said to stay hydrated and eat easy things like rice and such. Hopefully he gets better soon.

Today I am off to Sonoma with Shelley. Interesting.
