Today was a much more mellow day. Wanted to do a little shopping, so we headed to the M&M store, where we also watched the cheesey and pretty crappy 3D movie they have. We mostly wandered in and out of various stores and casinos.
I didn't take a lot of pictures today. S. and I are getting on each other's nerves. Well, more accurately, S. is getting on my nerves. It's to be expected when we are together for 5 solid days, something we are not at all used to.
We went to the MGM for lunch, and I went to the bathroom. Came out and S. was no where to be seen. I walked around a bit, then sat down and just waited. For like 15 minutes. Then he calls me, "I'm in the restaurant, I already ordered for you." Oh, OK, thanks for letting me know!!!!
I was pissed, and he was like, "Why are you mad? I ordered you food and a drink." And I was like, "You could have let me know! I would never do that to you, just wander off and not tell you where I was while you were in the bathroom." He kept saying, "I don't understand why you're so mad." And that made me even more upset. I told him, "If I had hurt you, made you mad, or embarassed you, I would apologize to you, even if it wasn't intentional." He didn't get it, and he didn't apologize.
This put me in a foul mood for the rest of the day. He went and played (and lost) in another poker tournament while I read and took a short nap. I thought about going to the pool, but didn't want to endure the bikini fashion show again, plus there was loud music at the pool, and it sounded like they were doing some sort of MTV Spring Break games or something and that is not for me. After my nap, we went to dinner and I played (and lost) on some more slot machines.
LilCherie and Depressionista will recall my unforgettable quote from the Niagara Falls casino about what I would be willing to do to get my money back that I lost in the casino.
Since today was a bit dull, I thought I'd share a story from yesterday that I forgot about. I went to the bathroom in the Luxor, and I kept hearing these women speaking in another language (there are a LOT of Europeans here because of the strong Euro and weak US dollar). When I came out to wash my hands, there was a woman rinsing something out in the sink. When she took the something over to one of the stalls, I realized it was another lady's shorts. She pulled them on (they were wet) and then they started to go out, when the one lady realized that the other lady had some shit on the back of her leg, so they came back in and wiped off the shit. Yep, she shit her pants. They were both pretty good-natured about it, to be honest.
I've shit my pants before, so I'm always relieved to hear about or see another adult do it. Listen, it happens. Sometimes you think it's just gas, and then it turns out it's not, and presto - you've shit your pants. Luckily for me, it's pretty much only happened at home - except once when it happened at work last spring during our board meeting and I had to go home and change (and even shower off!).
Vegas seems to be gearing up for the weekend. There are more people here today, it seems, and more excitement. We saw girls dancing on bars in 2 different casinos today.
Well, tomorrow will be our last full day. We are going to the Cirque du Soleil Beatles LOVE show tomorrow, and I am really, really excited about it.

Good to hear you're still alive, since you haven't made contact with me in any way since what, Monday???? :-)
I would be super-pissed about Sean's little bathroom abandonment thing. Not only the abandonment, but the ordering for me!!! Then I'm stuck eating whatever he picked out!!! It's kind of like the fridge incident. I think these are his small efforts to exercise some control in your relationship. And I hate the "I don't understand" argument. Just do the same thing to him and see if he gets pissed...maybe then he'll understand!!! In any case, he should have apologized. Sorry, this got me all worked up!
Wow, the lady shitting her pants is awesome. I hope that before they left you told them 'what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!!' Funny!
Hang in there, and remember for future vacations that three to four days is probably plenty!
You Vegas posts make me feel out of breath just by reading them! So much to do. So little time.
I am so glad you remember the shitty pants story. That is a gem.
Sorry that S. is being such a dork. That would annoy me to. A little communication goes a long ways.
I have to agree with Savannah--three to four days is probably enough unless you have a scheduled break from each other set in there.
5 days together, full on together, is a LONG time!! J & I have been apart for just about 3 months now. It might be a while before we feel the need the be at each other's throats. Until the house fix-ups and projects begin!!
