Viva Las Wages

It has been decided. My sweetie Brandon is going to take me to Las Vegas to celebrate the big three-oh this year. We will probably hit up Coyote Ugly, where I will dance on top of the bar and kick, stretch then kick, then shout, "I'm thirty!"

Brandon has never been to Las Vegas, and it's been quite a while since I visited with my best girlfriends over spring break. I've been hoping that I would ring in this new year in a memorable fashion, so I'm thrilled and will be looking forward to this.

This is going to be the song running through my head over the next few months:

Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of money that’s ready to burn,
So get those stakes up higher
There’s a thousand pretty women waitin’ out there
And they’re all livin’ devil may care
And I’m just the devil with love to spare
Viva las vegas, viva las vegas
How I wish that there were more
Than the twenty-four hours in the day’cause even if there were forty more
wouldn’t sleep a minute away
Oh, there’s black jack and poker and the roulette wheel
A fortune won and lost on ev’ry deal
All you need’s a strong heart and a nerve of steel
Viva las vegas, viva las vegas
Viva las vegas with you neon flashin’
And your one armbandits crashin’
All those hopes down the drain
Viva las vegas turnin’ day into nighttime
Turnin’ night into daytime
If you see it once
You’ll never be the same again
I’m gonna keep on the run
I’m gonna have me some fun
If it costs me my very last dime
If I wind up broke up well
I’ll always remember that I had a swingin’ time
I’m gonna give it ev’rything I’ve got
Lady luck please let the dice stay hot
Let me shout a seven with ev’ry shot
Viva las vegas, viva las vegas,
Viva, viva las vegas

That Brandon he knows how to make a girl happy doesn't he? That sounds like fun! It will be a great experience for both of you. Well off to bed tomorrow the week starts all over again.

Bran's my sweetie, and I'm definitely the devil with love to spare. Viva!

Brandon's never been to Vegas, so it should be fun.

Yeah, I think Brandon and I are should take advantage of the $300 package at Imperial Palace.

"Happy Birthday, Nicki- umm, SURPRISE WE'RE GETTING MARRIED AT THE IMPERIAL PALACE THEN GOING TO THE $6.95 BUFFET TO CELEBRATE!"

We're actually staying at the Imperial Palace- funny stuff.
