kudos and boos!

Dear Kate,

So far, I have failed at what might be the easiest of the June goals, blogging. So let's do some catching up on the good old kudos and boos

Kudos to Virgin America. Now as you know, flying is perhaps one of my least favorite activities, but if you gotta do, do it in style like Virgin! When walked onto the plane last weekend en route to the Vegas, I was taken aback when I saw the mood lighting--purple mood lighting to be exact--I felt like I just walked onto a flying club! THEN we sat down and saw the mini tvs and we could watch movies, tv, play games, and best part, they had Bravo. I was a-ok with this way of travel! The flight there was awesome, and the flight home, well those circumstances were definitely out of their control, if you know what I mean ;)
Boos to having to work while we have this beautiful weather. I could totes be content with sitting outside getting my tan on (hopefully not getting burned) and reading the latest and greatest book, buuuut no. Productivity and pay checks rear their ugly heads and get me to go to the office on a regular. Dammit. So close.

Kudos to Aria. This hotel was swaaaanky and definitely a place to hit. The rooms were spacious, the hotel was beautiful, the pool was hoppin' and it really offered us what we needed, a bed to pass out in and a shelf to put our booze on. Oh and a music channel for us to pump while we were getting ready. Not much more is needed in the Vegas so this place really brought it. I would totally recommend this to anyone who hits the strip.
Boos to that cab driver who took us for a ride, literally! On the Friday night that we were in Vegas, Lisa, Meredith and I hopped in a cab, chatty as ever, and the fool cab driver took us on the backroads to the Venetian, which isnt too far away on the strip. Well being the good hearted people that we are, we chatted him up a bit, getting his scoop on the Vegas, asked him about the celebs he's driven and built a rapport. Well $14 later we pulled up to the Venetian, seven minutes behind the other girls (who left after us), and realized we were just taken for a ride. Not cool cabbie, not cool. Did he really think we would not compare notes with the other girls. Why I otta.

Kudos to Cabana living. Really this is the only way to pool. You get an attendant who is ready to fulfill your every poolside desire--mainly have you up the tab--you get two high class rafts (I called dibs and planted it for the day, and get to cool off in the cabana from that hot Vegas sun! I would recommend a Cabana to anyone and believe me it will be hard to go back to a regular pool after this!
Boos to flying home from Vegas. Definitely NOT my favorite thing for two reasons. One it's the morning after a night in the Vegas. Two, hellsa turbulance. But hey the Virgin America pilot knew what he was doing, unlike the last time, so special shout out to you.

Well Kate, it was a catch up from the Vegas trip, but hey I blogged. Next time I'll attempt a photo but let's take it one goal at a time :o)

Housewives go out with a Bang!

Dear Kate,

Well it's officially half way through the month and where have we landed with the June goals, well not good. You should already assume this seeing as one was to blog more, three times a week with pictures, and this is my first (picture-less no less) post since this wonderful summer month began.

But why dwell on that? Let's talk about that fine drink of crazy that was the Real Housewives of Orange County Reunion. Where to begin where to begin. Actually I don't know where since I there was just so much yelling! Ok let's take a look at all the klassy ladies.

Tamra: She looked like she was about to burst at any moment. She just seemed SO gosh darn tense that if you were to look at her funny then she would explode, which she did, because of Gretchen. And Slade. And Jeana. And Alexis. Quote of the night: "Is your ass jealous of the shit that comes out of your mouth?" Who says that?

Alexis: What a bucket of crazy. We had hope for her at the beginning of this season, and everyone seemed to be buddy-buddy with her, man what a difference does 10 episodes make! What's peculiar is that although her husband doesn't even want to be on the show, cause he doesn't like the ladies, he's still causing shit! And boy she was pissing every body off but she looked just as annoyed with these ladies!

Vicki: She handled this very well. While news of her divorce broke before the season started and played out during the show, of course homeboy Andy Cohen wasted no time getting to that topic. But she really handled it well, especially when they showed the video that her ex-husband Donn sent in, which was less than flattering. Also when she said that her daughter has turned on her, she handled it as best she could. Classic Vicki moment of the night: "I could run the country better than what's going on now!" Shut up Vicki!

Gretchen: Meh she was kind of bleh this reunion, most of the shit that flew with her was revolving around what's going on with her boytoy Slade, but the rest of the time she was yelling at Tamra and really that was about it. Not really that impressed.

Peggy: This woman deserves a medal. She was the most composed, didn't yell, and didn't dig herself into a hole. I was cautious about her at the beginning of the season, but she happily surprised me! And she was so smart during this reunion show, she came out smelling like a rose!

And Lisa said it best, these ladies should take notes from the Bev Hills Housewives cause they didn't talk about a gosh darn thing!

Oh Orange County, you do always bring it during the reunion episodes!
