some things...

this is a pic ginny snapped yesterday.  she's been a great doggie aunt!  she's sending pics and a video of gilly snoring in bed next to her, head on the pillow like a little human.  charlie is now totally comfortable with her and she's getting to rub his belly.  

this may seem small, but it's huge for me.  being on vacation and not worrying about dogs, it's a gift.  our vacations in the past were filled with worry over sick elderly dogs.  so being able to spend 7 days away without worry, that's a big deal.

i'm so grateful for ginny taking the time to send us little updates.  i'm incredibly grateful to have young, healthy & happy dogs.

i can go spend my day by the pool totally relaxed.  well, i might be concerned about kids getting sick in the pool, but otherwise it's RELAXATION TIME.

i picked this slot machine to try my hand at gambling.  i picked it because it's the name of dan's favorite beer, and monkeys are cool.  i spent around $25 dollar and of course didn't win any money.  i did win small amounts on spins, so i sat there for quite a while.  it was fun to play and people watch.  but slots are boring and gambling is dumb.  

thank god, i've found something bad that i'm not addicted to!

i had a lovely bloody mary in the hotel lobby, along with crab cakes for lunch.  and great people watching.  vegas is so damn weird.

i snapped this pic because it's the first time i've worn anything sleeveless in years.  it makes me want to keep losing weight and get more tattoo work on my arm.  

this is something i never thought i'd say:  i cannot wait to get home to start back exercising!  more swimming, more spinning, and a weight class on sundays.  huzzah!!!!

speaking of that, time to hit the pool.  at least i'm getting some exercise in vegas.
