HH Holiday Party 09!













Tine and Rhino hosted this year and as always we had a LOT of laughs =). Beth and Danny ended up with the dreaded Penis statue, which is now beautifully engraved with the names of previous owners (thanks Em!). There were some great gift wars, especially between the boys, and everyone ended up with something suitable to them. I'M certainly more than happy with my new pair of Handerpants courtesy of Christina!

YES YES YES YES!! It's about to begin!!!!

I can't wait I can't wait I can't wait I can't wait!!!! I have all of my pre and co-requisites taken care of including physical and vaccinations, my books are purchased, I scoped out my classroom and parking locations (as well as lunch options!)... My journey is about to begin =). I finished reading an anatomy book I got from the library, working on the physiology book now, gotta brush up on CPR before I start, but I'm SO ready for this.

By January you will be looking at LA's newest B-EMT. I still need to decide between working for an ambulance company vs. an ER, but I'm guessing that will fall into place as I go through my classes and studies. Wish me luck, it's gonna be a shock to this girl's system. I'm used to getting my 8+ hours of sleep and cooking whatever I want whenever I want it. But for those of you who know me, I'm all about change and diversity, so this will be a welcome challenge.

Vegas is Fantastik

The Indoor Swapmeet, no better way to start off the trip!
Fremont Street Experience, woot
Bryan said, 'give me tiger'. this is what he got.
A Healthy dinner of hot dogs. My veggie version consisted of a bun, melted cheese, onions, jalapenos and peppers. Absolutely disgusting.
This Cab Driver asked "You wanna take my pikchah?" yes I do..
Dressed to impress... and go bowling
Birthday hats always warrant a smile, no matter how sheepish.
I think Bryan felt like a kid with all the decorations.
I had to find a way to get both me and the Dam in the same picture and get the right exposure on both..
portraits in action
A long way down
Bear makes an appearance
Trevor is a F***ing rockstar
Dam buttons make for a good Picture
They were dropping pennies off the side
Night FOUR. We sat at the casino bar for 3 hours.
Trevor meets Bear
I have always wanted to drink at the Circus Circus carousel bar: because of Fear & Loathing. FAIL, it was closed.
I was expecting to see a great trapeze show including flying bears.
At last, time to go.


Vegas on a budget for 5 days is quite a feat, but Thanks to everyone who went we had a FANtastik time =). It was Bryan's birthday, and his present was a few days in a timeshare in Vegas. The condo was simply awesome, with a full kitchen and laundry, sweet pool and jacuzzi, etc. We didn't step foot on the main strip even once, preferring to spend our time in Downtown and within walking distance of our condo. We still did plenty of slot play, however it consisted mostly of penny and nickel slots... and we actually won a little bit! We even took one day to hit up the Hoover Dam, which I haven't done since I was a little kid. It's so great when you don't have an agenda or a plan. We got imaginative and really made the trip fun. Thanks Mandy and Bryan, this would not have been possible without you both =)
