Back to Las Vegas

Busy week, heading to Las Vegas for a work meeting for a couple days. I'm hoping to get some work outs in while I'm there. It's also our annual awards banquet. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some hardware. :D

I swam again on Friday. My hub's best friend was in the lane next to me! He has done some tri's with the swim being his most difficult leg. On the second time of lapping him at the wall, I said, "you're getting chicked!" He was very gracious and just grinned. It's not very often I get to do this (well never, when I'm running!).

Saturday we attended an amazing basketball game as ISU celebrated 100 years of basketball. They scored only 11 points with 15 turnovers in the first half and were down by 13 to Nebraska. They came back and turned the entire game around with an incredible second half that included zero turnovers. What a win! It was just fun to watch and certainly fun to see all the former players back for the celebration.

Sunday we had friends over for a Rock Band party. What a fun weekend, although I haven't worked out since Friday.

Today I have off and I'm working on birthday celebrations for the hub. I miss his actual birthday during my trip so we are celebrating tonight. I'm making Emeril's Wild Mushroom and Tasso Pasta with steaks. Have a good week everyone!!

D wanted to see the ISU game so bad but it wasn't on tv...probably good he didn't if they didn't win.

Have a run on the strip for me...no stripping on the run though.

Enjoy Vegas! Soak in that warmth and bring it back to us!

Do you think a TRI is in your future?

My sister and I were thinking of taking a long weekend in April to head to Vegas... since you have been there before, do you have any recommendations for hotels?

SHUT UP!! You are so not going to Vegas again! I'm jealous, even if it's for work *sigh*

So what's up with the swimming Nancy? Are you a former Olympic swimmer and I missed that little fact? If so, I want an autograph.Keep up the great work. You can do a 40 yard swim sprint for my Feb contest if you want.

Have a great week in Vegas, Nanc!
I love that you chicked someone at the pool. Good luck with the hardware attainment ;-)

Really? Did you just write a paragraph about Vegas that included work and workouts but no mention of anything related to losing money and not sleeping? You are SO mature.

Hope you enjoyed the birthday dinner - sounds like a real meal to me.

Have loads of fun! Congrats on the "chicking" :-) *tee hee*

i'm always a bit worried to use the "chicked" reference...apparently with you i'm safe!

I can't believe you are back to Vegas so soon! You lucky duck! I was ROFL at the "chicked" comment. I'm sure Vanilla would have totally approved at your use of the phrase ;)

I am so jealous you get to go back to Vegas!! I have never even been there once! :-(

Hope you get some hardware, too!!
