Brief Vegas synopsis, for those who are wondering. We stopped and met Yvonne for breakfast at IHOP in Ontario. I got to see and hold and snuggle Gabby, if only briefly. And she didn’t even freak out. Miracle.
I really didn’t get a chance to take many photos. There just weren’t that many photo moments. Though, I can’t believe I didn’t get ONE photo of macgeezel and me together. Not one. I think I was counting on getting one when they came down to San Diego, but since that didn’t happen, no cute togetherness photo. Bah!
She looks freakin’ amazing. It was really good to see her at goal. And I wasn’t even jealous! It was actually good for me to see an “end result”, as it’s motivated me even more to keep going. Her loss of 50 pounds is such an accomplishment and I’m really proud of her.
After our arrival in Vegas, we went out to eat at some little hole in the wall mexican place, then off to the casinos to gamble for a bit. I was doing really well in blackjack, which basically kept us from spending too much money, since we gambled off my winnings and kept the original funds separate. Then we headed off to Green Valley Ranch to hear macgeezel’s friend’s band play, Darby O’Gill and the Little People (I think they were called?). They played in an Irish pub inside the casino. We met up with another friend Juniper there and Ali drove up and met us there, too. So, we drank Guinness and cider and tra-la-la’d and had a grand ol’ time.
The next morning, we woke up to breakfast from macgeezel’s mom and then headed home. We stopped and played some more blackjack on the way out of town, but I was starting to feel really crappy, so we hit the road. I know, not really exciting, right? No tales of debauchery, no porn photos, no Air Supply. But it was so good to see macgeezel and Gideon. I missed them! I wish they could have come down here, but I guess next time. *sniff*
Here are a few photos that got taken:
This is Abigail, mikey’s new girlfriend.
