Stripping In Vegas

Sarah and I went to the strip today and did all the classic touristy things. Aside from a few too many poke-her jokes and being offered a million cards with naked women on them, we had a blast.

We took so many pictures though...so I put them in a photobucket album. Please take a look it will be way worth your while!!

Slurpy Lurky Turkey

HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!

I know you all are just dying to see pictures of our magnificent feast so here we go...

(The pie we made this morning. We had hoped that adding shortening and water would help the rolling out process but it didn't.)

( This is our Tom pre-cooked. Please note the disgusting tube-ish thing in his chest cavity. I accidentally grabbed it in the thawing process and threw up a little in my mouth.)

(Sarah broke skin on the potato peeler and I burned myself (surprise) on Tom's pan.)

(Can you say YUM!!)

(Yes, Sarah made sure that our feast was aesthetically pleasing.)

(Home made rolls, mashed potatoes not from a box, real live vegetables!)

(It was like my birthday in November. Don't you love our wannabe champagne (best if pronounced sham-pog-nay)? Martenelli's is so much better!)

(Yeah we did)

Silly Town Pie

Last night was super fun! Not only did I get to see Twilight but I went to a casino for the very first time! Edward by the way is so unattractive that I laughed when he was shown for the first time.

(Our movie theater/casino)

When Sarah got home from work today we went to Town Square, an outdoor mall, with some of her roomies. It had been rainy all day and was still drizzling but it was still fun. given that it is nearly Christmas time, all the palm tress were decked out in Christmas lights.

(Sorry if this picture makes you dizzy but I love it!)

(Decorated palm trees, silly and yet elegant)

Our second adventure of the night was pie making. I think I probably made the crust wrong, because it just would not roll out. Or maybe it was the fact that it was 10 at night. Long story short we could not get a good top rolled out so we did strips, and it looks delicious!

(Oh, did I forget to mention Sarah's beautiful counters didn't help either?)

(My expert trimming skills, and our expert pie)

Grand Twilight Indeed

I thought that I would give you a grand tour of Sarah's place. It is indeed grand.

Sarah's bedroom (minus her desk and compy). Yes, the two of us have been sleeping on that bed. I think we're awesome or something.

Sarah's huge kitchen. Well, it's huge compared to mine. everything is really nice...Sarah loves the cupboards.

The living room is fab. Two couches, one love sac, a tv, and Edward (a rediculously huge teddy bear next to one of the couches) what more can a girl ask for?!?

When Sarah showed me her backyard I laughed. Now you can too.

Tonight we plan to go see Twilight when Sarah gets off work and then go play volleyball with all her peeps. Tomorrow we get to make pies...and vegetable dip...only the beginnings of our masterful feast!

Alone Nothing Burger

Dear Diary,
Today Emily did nothing. And God saw that it was good.

Really though I spent my whole day hanging around at Sarah's apartment waiting for her to get home from work. she did eventually, then we went to purchase our Thanksgiving feast and I went to In-and-Out Burger for the very first time!

We watched Home Alone 1 and 2 last night and tonight. I had forgotten how funny they were. Good clean humor.

"Keep the change you filthy animal..."

Love it.

Spoon Casino News

Emily's bits of Good News:

- Alex Johnson was a girl

- She didn't die in the car with a 17 year old driving for 8 hours

- She managed to direct Sarah to a random Pachangas in St. George

- They found a Spoon Me in St. George before departing

- She is now in Lost Wages, more commonly known as Las Vegas

Vegas is so different from anywhere I have been and remember being before. We came in on I-15 and coming out of the mountains this is what we saw.

The sea of lights. Well, my camera's beast attempt at replicating it. It was amazing. We drove right by the Mirage, Bellagio, Caesars Palace, and about a million other Casinos. And I saw real live palm trees. Simply incredible.

Breakifying Trip Gender

Well, I'm all ready to go and I'm just waiting for the driver whose gender is still unknown. Correction, unknown to me, I'm sure they know.

I just finished breakifying our apartment. Breakifying? Why, what does that entail oh wise Emily?

Breakifying your apartment:
- Before each roommate leaves make sure they wash all of their dishes. (Tiff did leave one cookie sheet unwashed)
- Remove as much garbage as possible. (I definitely just walked out to the dumpsters with 5 plastic grocery bags and one kitchen bag full of garbage and one empty milk carton)
- Lock all windows...well the ones that have locks on them. (Yes, I discovered that the locking devices on the windows in our bedrooms is extremely inadequate. Perhaps the disgusting state of the glass will deter anyone thinking of snooping)
- Make sure the heat is off.
- Leave one light on in the middle of the apartment (to trick people into thinking someone is home!)

Road trip here we come!!

Good luck at the open house today Mom and everyone else!!
