Whiny Wednesday: Vegas, Baby!

September 21, 2011

I just got back from a couple of days in Las Vegas, which you’d think would give me ample material for Whiny Wednesday topics, but in fact, Vegas didn’t grate on my nerves and send me fleeing for the airport, as it has in the past.

The purpose for the trip was to meet up with my most long-time friend, a woman I’ve known so long, I can’t remember ever not knowing her. I think we met in pre-school, but our parents knew each other from many moons before that. We manage to get together somewhere in the world about once every five years, and this time she happened to be passing through Vegas on a trip around the south-west’s National Parks, so we agreed to meet there. We ate, we walked, we talked, we laughed, and all in all, we had a fantastic time together with our significant others.

If I have any reason for whining this Wednesday it’s that I’ve taken so much time off for traveling fun lately that I am way behind in every other aspect of my life, including work, exercise, and household maintenance. But I suspect I’m not going to get a whole lot of sympathy, am I?

Still, it is Whiny Wednesday, so please don’t let my good mood get in the way of your complaining. Today is the day to get it off your chest, so whine away!

    Sounds awesome, glad you had a nice vacation!

    However, I missed last Wednesday’s rant about stupid rich famous Beyonce being pregnant, and can I just say that I almost got sick watching that clip they KEPT ON SHOWING of her up on stage rubbing her stupid tiny pooch of a belly, looking all self-satisfied and conceited like she deserves some praise, and her stupid rich famous husband smiling his fool head off and everyone in the stupid crowd cheering and clapping like they just accomplished some type of a freaking miracle??!! People pop out babies every day (except for us few, of course) so why the hell do they think they deserve something special for it?? Just because they’re rich and famous? Assholes! Eff them and their stupid rich famous baby! And eff all the media who can’t stop talking about all the stupid babies that are born to rich famous people! Some people get everything and they don’t need my good wishes about it. Screw them.

    Thanks, I feel a bit better now 🙂

      OMG, Angela! I actually threw my head back and laughed out loud. Thank you for a very cathartic Whiny Wednesday.
