To know me, is to know my hair…..

A little side note before we return to the story; I had mentioned on the Domain that if Cali-Kim makes it the next time around she needs to be initiated. I realized later that part of that initiation would be the process that my hair goes through. It seems every time we meet up on one of these adventures there’s at least one ‘newbie’ to my hair.

Here’s the deal; I have natural curly hair. Not a little curl either, but kinky-tight curls. I have a process that I go through to get it straight (or at least straighter) and anyone that’s been around me has heard the question “are my bangs ok?!”

So it’s always a treat to see people’s reaction to the ‘fro’! Jules, Patty, Rhonda Elizabeth, Tara and now the 6-pack have all watch in horror as my hair does its thing. People are quite stunned by the difference between what step in to the shower and what comes out! LOL! It’s really funny to watch people watch my hair dry! So, to all of you that I plan to see the next time around ~ be warned!

Ok, so after that rather boring ramble…… Saturday in Vegas:

There’s this little strip mall at the corner of Harmon and Paradise called the St Tropez Market. Half ‘am/pm’ and half liquor store…..bonus! For the cost of one drink, you get a lovely bottle of pre-mixed Margaritas, TGIF’s Mudslides or whatever that will make 8 drinks. Bonus! Bonus! So the afternoon was spent at the newly arrived ½ of the 6-pack’s room. There was a wedding reception going on, so we had drinks, music and good talk ~ just girl stuff ~ bathrooms, curling irons and so on…. *smirk*

We had heard enough of Miss Tara bragging about her Karaoke skills, so we took up the challenge and decided to listen to Miss Tara do it live! Unfortunately when we headed to the Tropicana, there was no Karaoke and the bands in the lounges were dullsville. So off again to Mandalay Bay and their charming Coral Reef Lounge. They had a great band playing R&B, Blues, Rap and Funk. Great stuff to dance to, but my poor body was feeling the effects of 80’s night. Those new wave moves were fun to do at the time, but came back to haunt me later! So it was fun to just sip drinks and watch Tara and Jackie do their thing on the dance floor. The next day was the ‘big event’ and we all wanted to be ready for the concert, so we called it a day (or night as the case maybe). A quick trip to Tara’s hotel to pick up her stuff and the 4 of us headed back to our room for a bit (and I do mean a bit) of a slumber.

Bright and early @ 4:30am Sunday we start rolling out of beds, couches and chairs pulled together to make beds to greet the day and the band……

Chat later!
