I'm here primarily for work - attending the NACS trade show which is being held at the Convention Center. I'm going with my client, who will have a booth there.
And of course, since my dad lives here, I am visiting with him while I'm there. I'm staying at his house, except for one night. I'm staying at the Bellagio for one night, after my very first massage!
I'm excited!
I'm also going to take my client out to dinner at Michael Mina's. Because why not?
Not only is my client cool as shit - thank GOD - I get to visit my dad!
I'll be gone just under a week and Steve is going to be managing the kiddos with my mom while I'm gone.
His schedule sucks depending on what we are doing or planning, so he'll need to adjust it slightly in order to get the kids to school, pick them up and then bring them to my mom's so he can go back to work until closing.
But, it's only for like 1 day, really, since his other day of work is Saturday, the kids can stay at my mom's from Friday after-school to Sunday morning.
Now, him taking care of the Ween is a whole 'nother story, lol. I mean, she's just not going to like the fact that I'm gone. I feel terrible. I'm much more worried about her, than anyone else. Because she just doesn't understand.
I guarantee she'll shit and piss on the floor because Steve will be unable to catch her to get her outside. I'm also assuming she won't run out there on her own because it's cold.
So we'll see how he manages. I mean, he's gonna have to.
Luckily, I think she will do OK with Mila as long as Mila is patient with her. Steve has no patience and will try to hold her, but it scares her. Steve says so far, Mila's taking good care of her.
The client I'm going with is a wellness water product. When I asked what the attire was for being at the booth, I was told "athleisure" - omg, perfect.
I love nothing more than a good pair of leggings, a hoodie and comfy clothes.
So I went shopping! All my stuff is getting a little old - having been wearing most of it for 2+ years now.
I got fresh leggings in fun colors, a couple of "nice" tops - since it IS Vegas and we WILL be going out.

| My travel attire. |
I've been wanting some for foreverrrrr and I'm not sure why I never pulled the trigger. It's been a HOT minute since I've gotten new kicks for myself.
I'm excited to replace all my heels with new sneakers, lol.
Anyway.
I also have to pack for summer.
Like, HOTTER THAN SHIT summer.
Because. FUCK.
Haha.
Consistently hotter than it's ever is here at home.
It's gonna be a shock to my system.
Surprisingly, everything went smoothly. Flights were on time. No one freaked out. There were no "Karens" in the wild this time. Which is refreshing.
My first flight to Chicago was easy. Got lucky with an empty seat between me and my aisle-mate.
Interestingly, I started a book and it takes place near and around my hometown. So bizarre.

| To be honest, this book is written terribly. It's not that good, but it passed the time. |
I actually was able to nap for a bit and when I awoke, there was only like 30 minutes left in the flight.
It was 88 degrees when I landed at 9:30pm.
I made it to my rental car shuttle bus, hopped on with a million other people and got to my rental car.
I was upgraded to a brand new Jeep because there was slim pickins'. It's black and it's nice. I'm surprised how much I like it!
I figured it made sense to rent a car while here since I'll be all over the place with my client, convention center, my dad, etc.
We are going to be able to go out to eat for lunch and dinner today and I'm SO excited. There's so much good food here.
More posts to come! I'm super excited about this trade show - it's been YEARS.
Maybe I'll do a tiny bit of gambling while I'm here.
Maybe not.
