The view Sunday night from the hotel .......
While it was short lived wins at the mirage and 4 Queens (more on that later) it was fun while it lasted! My two friends/coworkers kept me laughing the ENTIRE trip.......and I need that!
Now on to Tuesday......
During the day we went out, I put the do not disturb on my hotel door, put my winnings in a different wallet in the room, and left ....Only to return for blogger meetup to find it had been stolen....and my room had been cleaned......Security was called....have to keep calling Risk Management, but not sure
they care, they told me that someone had $25,000 stolen too! Do they not realize that was my only money I brought(and I was AHEAD), I was trying to be careful, brought one credit card, which was in case I had to pay resort fees on the comp'ed rooms (which was another nightmare) Thank God my friends had some as I was stuck.....
But on with the reason for this trip to Vegas........It did make my day better really......
SDE brought in Elvis as a surprise, and we hadn't had our picture together yet! Score!
Then in the drawings, Val (on left) won a gift certificate from SDE to use at the exhibit booth,
Marcia (middle) won a Gift certificate to Clever School Teacher and me while I won a gift certificate to Erin Conden! Woo to the Hoo!

Here is one with a funny story....
On the right is Tanja from Journey of a Substitute Teacher
and left is Hadar from Miss Kindergarten
You see I had been talking to Tanja (I know no strangers) fellow blogger, then
Cheryl pointed out her blog, and I screamed, bellowed as I just put it together....Yep, I made her deaf I'm sure.....then when Hadar's name was called I screamed again, as I found her....I could go on as to how many I wanted to get pictures with but my friends were getting hungry.....so if in the future I scream no biggy:) Check out their blogs too!
Here is the photo with all of us
Now I won't go on about the rest of the week, as it was not much to it bloggy related fun though, fighting the hotel daily that NO I did not have 3 rooms, and YES the 2 were all comp'ed ....wait I am still doing that at home. You can see some of these here
But I can tell you start saving for next year, as I am already looking forward to next year's ! Thanks to everyone that made it possible besides my cohorts (Marcia and Val):
Rachelle and Natalie, Deedee, Kathleen, Hope, Erica, Kim, Deanna, and Cheryl! You So Rock!
