DAYAMN.... 2 months??
It's 2009!!! Nothing new.

Just wanted to post these thoughts from the Vegas trip in December..
Lots of coincidentals that weekend.. that basically reminded me that I was where I was supposed to be that weekend. Not sure why. Not sure why it's even an issue. I guess, maybe, I second guessed the purpose of being there that weekend once all the peeps started falling off the list and weren't able to go.. but it wasn't.

It was great hanging out with Mon and having that hella long ass late ass heart to heart that we haven't had in a few years. It was great having fun with Thy. It was great hanging out with Estee and Dior.. and knowing that she had a fun weekend! =) And it was great meeting my newest nephew: Karisio and seeing Ange and her family.

So, the coincidentals that fit the rest of my the previous months of "strange energy".

1) The first day we got there, the wind was going CRAZY! It wasn't so cold, but the wind-chill factor was nuts. So, at some point we were able to see tumbleweed roll by in front of our car. Then, the wind was so thick that it was blowing the wind on the ground and I thought.. "hmm, that looks like the snow when it's storming up in the mountains." Then, the day we left, as many of us have seen already, it was SNOWING!

2) At one point in the weekend, we went to Popeye's to buy Estee's bro some food (like 3 hours AFTER we left the house). I wanted to get Macaroni and Cheese for a side, but they didn't have any. Then, on Monday, at Ange's place, there was Mac and Cheese. Yeah, silly. But really, Mac and Cheese don't exist in my life all too often.

3) Sunday night in Vegas with another day to recover. What did we do? Yup. Sat in front of the computer and looked up old school videos on YouTube. We went from old school to slow jams to 80's cheese to the genius-years of Michael Jackson. I said I wish I could go to a show of MJ's if it was the 1980s version of him. On the way back from Summerlin, we heard on the radio that MJ was thinking of going on tour again.

4) Actually, on the same trip back (and maybe to Summerlin), they were talking about TLC and T-Boz. They were part of the youtube night. (Red Light Special, Creep... hmm.) And at some point we were also listening to Franzen from KMEL fame. Nothing really coincidental except that it was a very high school memory type weekend and listening to KMEL was essential during that time.

5)Finally, there was the Brady Bunch. What? Yes. Because I was saying that it was my 13th birthday - my introduction to adolescence and graduation from puberty, I referenced the Brady Bunch story when Peter's voice started to crack. Remember the song.. "When it's time to change.. you got to re-arrange"? So, at Summerlin, Ange and family were watching a DVD of random Brady Bunch episodes.

Silly strange fun.

I realized they wouldn't have happened if I didn't go to Summerlin. I guess, it's simple. Anytime spent laughing, sharing, talking, and partaking in happiness with family (and friends) is worthwhile!
