Nice pics, V.
I want to go to Vegas.
Okay. I had some technical difficulties. But I should be able to post my last few pictures now.
This is my favorite view from the top of the Eiffel Tower.
Me on a gondola
( This pic was taken by the six year old- so not bad considering)

I want to go to Vegas.
A little Vegas All Star Preview
This was the car on one of the monorail vehicles- very cool I thought.
That is pretty much the extent of my kidless pictures. So there you go.
Where are the pics of showgirls???

Well I am a girl and I showed you pics of my trip.
Guess who called to hire me for Vegas 2007?
It was a flattering offer because 1) they thought I did a good job and welcomed me back 2) they said they would hire me help and to name the hours I wanted.
To my surprise, my first instinct was to accept the offer.
But I thought about it and realized my desires to go were all the wrong and unrealistic.
Also, it would have been difficult to get the required time off at the mall- might be a request they would penalize me schedule wise for even making.
Even though my reason for turning down the job was valid ( I can't risk losing my current position at the mall for a once a year 11 day temp job) , I still felt really bad having to tell the family no.
When I called the parents back with my decision, I was super and sincerely apologetic about my not being able to go.
To which, all the father has to say in response was, " Oh well. Have a good one." Click.
"Oh well." !!!!!!!!
All the long hours, blisters, and tears ( the kids and mine) from that last trip and all I get now is an " Oh well"
Just terrible.
And sort of funny too.

Don't worry Angel, I will take you to Vegas with me next time and you will not have to babysit.
Re reading this thread is interesting.
I was so blindly optimistic in the beginning and then reality went and changed everything.
For the record, all of you who said the trip was a bad idea were right.
Luckily, I had enough fun to where I 1) do not entirely regret having taken the job, even though it was a very hard one and 2) want to go back to Vegas on an actual vacation.
Aw! Thanks.
To be fair, for the record, the Father wasn't mean on the phone- told me to have a nice day and all before hanging up.
It was just that an " Oh, we wish you could go" would have set a lot better with me than an " Oh well."
However, I am grateful for the " Oh well" since it confirmed that I made the right decision.
You'll just have to give Jim a daily sponge bath.
And suddenly my schedule is so jammed packed- could not possibly get away for that ever.
Everytime I think about going to Vegas, I end up going to Padre. I need to get there soon.
I'm going to be in Vegas the weekend of the 20th with Mrs. Chopper, and again 3 weeks later with one of my old college buddies. I'm intending to make a thread comparing and contrasting the Vegas experience under those two scenarios.
I can sum that paper up in five words and save you the typing.I'm going to be in Vegas the weekend of the 20th with Mrs. Chopper, and again 3 weeks later with one of my old college buddies. I'm intending to make a thread comparing and contrasting the Vegas experience under those two scenarios.
Your trips relaxing; mine not.

Mrs. Chopper and I have traveled with a nanny/babysitter before, and we've always tried to give her some time to enjoy the sights and relax a bit, too.
We'll take Chopper Jr. for a few hours here and there and give the nanny some time to play.
I am sure that was much appreciated.
A break is necessary no matter how good the kid.
Also, more importantly, kids, little ones especially, need to see their parents.
The kids I watched did really well since the no parent situation in our case had to be even harder on them than it was on me.
At least I could reason not to take the parents absense as a personal rejection. A six and three year old can't.
I've never been to Vegas before. I'm taking a trip before the summer ends and I'm contemplating Cali or Vegas. California mostly because I have family and friends there and Vegas just because it's Vegas.
Both places sound like a lot of fun. Have a great time.
My friend Jenni and I have a birthday in August and are contemplating take a trip together with our friend Laura to celebrate.
Vegas Baby, Vegas. Enjoy yourself...

Sounds great, Chopper. Are you going to play some holdem, now that your brothers have gotten you in to the game? If so, I will give you some tips on where to play and what games to get in to.
Why don't you just send a check to me instead?
Angel Is So Kind!!
