Emily sent me a Happy Tuesday IM this morning with a link to the unofficial fan site for Scott Speedman from Felicity, which is inspiring me to create an Unofficial Megan R. #1 Fan Page. Em is on board and says she will contribute photos for the site. Right on. FAB 4ever!

In Las Vegas I learned:

1. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Unless you are sharing a hotel suite with your entire family. In that case, you may wish to exercise a bit of caution before engaging in questionable behavior. Someone (not me, thank god) had to learn that the hard way this weekend.

2. Herding cats takes on a whole new meaning when 12 people are trying to make a decision about what to do in a city like Vegas.

3. If you're at the Paris Hotel with your sister, and you both impulsively order what is pretty much a full pitcher of a fruity cocktail dumped into a big-ass plastic Eiffel Tower with a freakishly long straw for you to sip through, and then drink more than half of it, be prepared to feel sick from the overwhelming sugar/alcohol combination. Remember that sharing a big-ass drink is fine, even if you want your own as a souv. One is plenty. Note: you will feel especially queasy if you end up on a gondola ride at the Venetian shortly after downing most of said drink. Molly and I really felt our stomachs turn when our pushy driver continuously encouraged the couple sitting across from us to make out under the little bridges. Blech! Being in the Paris made me miss Paris in a big way though.

4. Getting together with your family in a city that isn't home for anyone is interesting. Sure, most of the usual dynamics still exist, but interacting with everyone in a relaxed vacation atmosphere is different. It was so fun! Birthday dinners are a blast when delicious cocktails are involved.

5. I miss cable. It's sad but true. I loved having more than five channels to watch in our fantastic hotel rooms. Although, reality tv has hit a new all time low with "God or the Girl", which starts next week. What's the deal? Do we really need to mess with would-be priests for entertainment? Can these young men resist the temptations of the flesh? Puh-lease.

6. Sleeping is impossible.

7. If you're going to take a bath in the fabulous hotel tub with jets and you need to use body wash as a bubble bath substitute, keep in mind a little goes a very long way. Bubbles, bubbles everywhere!

8. Buffets = Generally Not Good

9. Maggiano's = Yum

10. It really only takes two sour apple martinis to get me drunk.

Thanks to everyone for such a great weekend! I miss you all already!
