3 Things I learned while in Vegas with a friend of 25 years.
1. Kids run you ragged, but it may not be a bad thing:
Gym time
may be hard to get in but she stays fit by chasing the kids around and has never
looked better. It also preps you for the
long days and Vegas nights running on only 6 hours of sleep. I still require 8+ hours for normal
functionality.
2. I drink too much
and she enjoys “grown up" dinners:
A glass of
champagne was pretty much glued to my hand 24/7. While she was thinking about where and
when the next meal was coming, I was more concerned where I was going to get my
next glass of champagne. We were able to
get into Giada’s, a new Vegas restaurant and was able to indulge in wine, champs and great
food with out her hearing “Mommy, mommy, mommy”.
3. Britney Spears and
French fries will always be part of our life:
Although we
stayed up late, we were not studding our stuff and twerking in the club, but
giggling our way into any restaurant at 1am that was still serving up French
fries (and champagne). To my surprise we still know every word
to Britney Spears circa 1998-2002 and still remember the dance moves we had made up to
“hit me baby one more time” in 1998.
Friends grow up, move away, and move on to have husbands
& kids
(Well hopefully)
but friends of 20+ years never seem to change.
We can go a month or 2 without actually talking on the phone, but still
know exactly what the other is doing on a daily basis. Time spent together is
fun whether it’s riding a Ferris wheel or chatting over a good glass of wine,
topped of with many belly laughs. Oh and
lastly, I learned we are still irresponsible enough to let our phones die on a
daily basis with out any major concern.
