Loni's Life

Big Kitty!   This is one of the MGM Grand's Lions  in their multi-million dollar state of the art habitat. I enjoyed watching the kitties.. and I was not the only 5-year old in the place going "Kitty" in gleeful, happy kid-tones.  These kitties were playing with a huge plastic spool thing about as enthusiastically as Mocha plays with her Mousey. 

Here's a picture of me in our wonderfully shady but occasionally sunny spot on Saturday ;  that's BFF behind me reading some type of vacation smut novel. 

On Sunday morning before we were originally due to leave Vegas, there was a knock at the door at some hour prior to our wake-up call.. and I don't even remember what I muttered to BFF.. something about did you order room service.. or what's up with that.. neither of us got out of bed.. and whoever had knocked had apparently gone away....  When we were ready to leave the room to go get breakfast and catch the shuttle to the airport we were greeted by this plant sitting in the hallway right outside our door.. we looked around like we were on Candid Camera or something and then we politely left said plant at the next door (minus the knocking) and went on about our day. 

Ok, after the 6-hour storm related delay in Dallas, we arrived in Las Vegas fairly late into the evening.. and so we were not necessarily paying attention when the desk clerk gal said something about the mini-bar and charging and whatever.... anyhow, turns out the minibar thing at The Mirage is fancy schmanzy and will automatically charge you for items when removed.... oops...  So as per normal when at a hotel, I checked out the mini-bar and one item caught my eye out of curiosity just 'cause, well I have seen a few mini-bars and usually it's the assortment of overpriced beverages and snacks.. but when you are hungry or thirsty, you don't really care... but in this case, it was an "intimacy kit"  Which contains (according to the packaging)..  Product Description  Kit  Includes: 1 - The Sensual O Vibrating Rings; 1 - Personal Lube Packets; 1 - Warming Lube Packets; 1 - Lubricated Condoms; 1 - Sensual Wipes; 2 - Mints.  (You can almost order them from one of my fave...

This posted started on 6/17  and went to draftland .. and I'm just now getting back to it...  so it's long and no pictures here... but will upload some shortly.  Thu- After the 12-hour travel day due to bad weather in Dallas, we got in to Vegas and checked into The Mirage . We had an incident with the automatic-charging mini-bar thing with some interesting and expensive items, but got that resolved. We grabbed dinner at the restaurant near the guest elevators. We each had the 3-course special. I had the Loaded Fries; Spaghetti with marinara sauce and garlic bread; and chocolate sundae for dessert. BFF had the fried cheese sticks with marina sauce; the turkey, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce; and the bread pudding with caramel sauce. Then off to bed. Fri - BFF was up sometime before 6:30 AM and was peeking out the windows which the bright sunlight of early Vegas morning woke me up. We dilly-dallied around between the buffet breakfast, the lure of some slot mac...

I love my BFF ... everyone that knows us, knows that I love my BFF ... but there are just some times when she is ever-the-Vogue fashion model type and wanting to be CUTE rather than practical.    Our departure day from our home airport was one of those times... she was ever-so-cute in her blue/white striped shorts and shirt and her Dr. Scholl's sandals in white.    As we are departing my house, we take note of the weather and we pretty much are guessing that we are going to have some weather delays leaving Dallas due to the incoming rain..but we are leaving for the airport with plenty of time to spare so that should not be too big of an issue.  BFF has already stopped on her way to pick me up to pick up bagels from Panera's Bakery (yum!), the car is fueled up, and she has her umbrella, plus we've both packed fairly light.. with one final check at my house, in case anything was missing, and off we go.  On the way to the airport, it starts raining... as we get closer to th...

Got a bonus 2 days and 1 night in Las Vegas c/o Southwest Airlines. Had a grand early birthday trip with one of my most favorite people in the world. Will post more about our trip and upload pictures later this week.

Mirage, Las Vegas shall be my home-away-from-home for the next few days.   My BFF is treating me to a girls-only road-trip to celebrate my upcoming birthday.   We were supposed to go to Puerto Vallarta , but due to travel restrictions at the office including a 4-day mandatory unpaid quarantine period upon our return (since rescinded), we opted to swap our travel plans.   It should be fun.   We're planning to park our happy butts in the pool area by day and play some casino games along the way (and we have Mamma C's lucky quilted money pouches).. it should be a wonderful birthday treat and time with my BFF /"twin" is always good ~ even when we have the occasional sisterly snipe-fest.
