Ok, so I tried this already once and it got erased. That sucked. So here's what I remember from the other night plus some!

The weekend before Memorial Day my girlfriends and I packed our bags and headed to Palm Springs for a weekend we'll never forget! We started a bit late because of a stray cat and one person locking her keys in her house with her carryon including her ID. UG! I was a bit stressed, but not too much. I was on vacay after all!!!

We got to the airport and got all checked in and we were all sitting together. Nice. We had a few drinks and just chilled on the plane down. I watched LMN's Gossip on my iPod while my rowmate read a long book about history. She's odd, I think. Anyway, we approached PS via a bumpy ride, but once we landed it was heaven!!! The air was dry and hot. I usually hate the heat, but we were on vacay after all! The bride (did I mention that it was a bachelorette party) rented the car and told the guy, "oh, don't worry, we just had a few on the plane." So, I signed up to drive too! We had a b*tchin' minivan since there were so many of us and we wanted to make sure we had enough room for the luggage and us! It made us feel old so we became insta-Cougars! Old women on the prowl-roar!!! Not to be confused with the Kilo Cougars--some of our junior high school's mascot. Three of us went to Jr. High and High school together and one also attended, but at different times. So, we could double as youngin's!

We checked into our house and ta-da! LOVERLY!!!!!

The pool!

HEAVEN! We got some groceries and then hit the pool until it was time to eat. Then we went back into the pool and then it was time to amp it up! Pool partay, yeah! Well, I went to bed about 1/2 way through it. I'm old and sleep with a child is a luxury and after all, I was on vacay!

Well, we got up the next morning and lounged in and around the pool!!!
Loungin'
It kicked serious butt! So nice. I just sat in the pool literally all day long. I've never done that before and it was so rad. Yeah, I said it, It was RAD!

Then we went out. Of course none of the ladies wanted to get ready after another meal that made our tummy's full, but they all got up the gumption to get out once I did a rousing cheer routine from my days as a Raider (or Coug even). Then everyone was ready to go out and we went to the Village. It's a club in downtown (I use the term "downtown" loosely) PS that was like several clubs. There were several bars and rooms to dance or play pool, or just drink or eat. Nice. We got there at like 11:30 so everyone was pretty much already hammered. Since I was the sober driver, I just sat there for a while until the Maid of Honor brought out the balloon animal balloons. Of course we didn't make animals, but we did imitate some parts of animals! Good times. One guy wouldn't leave until I made him a hat. That hat became a hit! Overminute sensation! Woohoo! Then some random guy asked someone in our party who wanted to get served. She yelled that I did! So, I did my cheerleading routine again! This time it was to MC Hammer's Can't Touch This. Yeah, you read that right, Can't Touch THIS! The guy didn't get it though and still tried to hook up with me. Jerk. Clearly I'm married and my routine was NOT a couple's dance! Then he tried to krunk it out, but said he sprained his ankle. I just think he got served. We all went home after getting lost and passed out at 2am.

Saturday was a lot of the same. Pool, eat, go out, but this time we went out to the casino. It was ok. None of the gals were really gamblers like me, but I ended up $100 ahead which was nice because we were going shopping the next day at the outlets.

The PS outlets Kicked Butt. Seriously. It was awesome!!! I loved all the fun outlets that we don't have up here and the weather was nice so I didn't have to run from store to store to keep out of the rain! My fav. outlet had to be --I really can't pick my fav out of Dior, Gucci, True Religion, Saks, Barneys, Furla, etc. Yay!

The rest of the trip was uneventful. We got home and then tried to function at work the next day in the cold Seattle weather.
