Drunk and Disorderly

Greetings from lovely Las Vegas, Nevada, where I am currently attending a trade show. Attending? Exhibiting at. I have just come from a delightful dinner with my colleagues. The food was nothing to write home about -- a tofu napoleon, specially prepared by the chef, but eh, boring -- but the margaritas on the other hand...worth every penny! I had two, and I am most definitely tipsy. We had an awesome dinner though. Best dinner at one of these functions ever. Then the plan was to go gamble so my boss can afford a David Yurman watch and I can splurge on a Louis Vuitton purse. My friend Becky has one, my boss just got a really nice one, and every third person in Vegas has one. Now I want one! It's not going to happen though. I am the world's crappiest gambler. I never even get to be up and then lose it all. I just lose it all immediately. I'm down $30 already!

I hardly slept at all last night because the world's loudest and probably most expensive mini-fridge kept me up last night. Then I stood at the booth all day and had two margaritas. Damn I'm tired. Hopefully the booze will drown out the minifridge. Think the hotel would notice if I unplugged.

Ok, have to be at a 7:30 presentation tomorrow, bright-eyed and bushytailed. Good night!
