staycation all i ever wanted

sorry for the delay in my updating. i am home "sick" today after a crazy staycation* weekend with my mom, aunt kathie and stacy. (*staycation is what you call it around here-- acting like a tourist on the strip when you actually live 25 minutes away). I feel so relaxed and had a most fabulous weekend....friday night I showed them my favorite local scene: Town Square- a huge outdoor shopping mall full of bars and restaurants and where all of my latest dates have taken place. we hit a wine bar which I am going to add to my list of date places, then pete's dueling piano's, where I first made out with banana man. i was half afraid that i'd run into former dates while out, but i was safe...
Saturday we went to Red Rock Canyon for a scenic drive and I decided that I want to go on a hiking or biking date (the latter would require that i maybe get a bike.) Then we found our way to our AMAZING rooms at Venetian and Palazzo. This were rooms fit for some major partying-- huge beds, sunken living rooms with wrap around couches. bathrooms with huge tubs and plasma tvs inside. absolute heaven. of course, we didn't spend much time in the rooms and got all dressed up to head to dinner and cirque du soleil. i wore my red heels. stacy saw some dude walk past and blatantly check me out, to which i replied-- DUH!
haha.
after an evening on the town, I had one major observation to report: girls out there have mean friends. I cannot tell you how many AWFUL AWFUL outfits most girls were donning. now i am by no means a fashion maven. but i like to think that i look half decent. at the very least, my clothes fit! these girls out there were wearing the most teeny tiny dresses that were skin tight. some could pull it off, but still...if i wanted to see a vajayjay, i'd go to a strip club. i don't. it's gross. so, stacy and i could only conclude that these girls must not have nice friends if their friends are letting them wear such things in public.
please friends...i beg you...if i look bad....tell me.
Sunday morning Stacy went on her merry way to reunite with the boyf, while the fam and I toured the strip and saw Jersey Boys (SO GOOD!!!!!!!!). This morning, I dropped mom and aunt kathie to the airport and returned to the room to take a bubble bath since i had a few hours to kill before checkout. most fabulous sick day ever.
so that was my weekend and while i'm sure you're entertained, i know you want me to get to the good stuff...
Banana Man Update:
Being tired of the booty thing, I proposed we grab dinner one night, but it never happened. We were in touch all week, but our schedules were conflicting...
Thursday night things got interesting. Here's a recap of the texting that went on:
Him ~11 PM: Ive had a crazy week, what are you doing?
Me: umm...sleeping?
Him: want to come over?
Me (thinking...I'm so not making a booty call): You need to work on your timing. too late for me to go anywhere.
Him: my weekend is fucked I am running a race saturday (I read as: if you want to hang, we need to hang now cause i'm too busy this weekend for you)
Me: my weekend is busy too with mom in town, so sorry. it will have to wait.
Him: "Shit. I want you to know that I really do like you. i wish i could see you before that..." (direct quote. i read as...please please please i want some ass)
Me: Sorry. you can meet up with me this weekend if you want, but you're not getting any action and I know that's all you want.
Him: "Those things are fun, but that's not the whole story."
Me: I would hope not. Let's hang early next week instead.
Him: OK, Let's do that.

...then we exchanged flirty texts all weekend. he almost came out and met Stacy and I late night saturday but we both decided we were tired.
SOOOOO...I was so not feeling the late night booty call text, but it seems like he realizes that's not what I'm after and is cool with that. I'm holding on that we can have a normal date in the not too distant future. I want to hear what this so-called "whole story" is. I'm not done getting to know him and I don't feel like he knows me at all, so hopefully this "whole story" can be explored some more...who knows. not me.

in other news, I've been emailing a teacher that my coworker is setting me up with. "The Set-Up", as I will now call him, asked to go out this coming weekend. no idea what he looks like or what he's like so no details yet, but i'll let you know when I know.

ok. time to burn off the excess of the weekend at the gym...this might be painful.
later tater.
