Brrrr!!! Today was such a cold and icy day that big poppa and I both stayed home from work and did nothing all day long at home. Unless watching five episodes of dexter in a row counts as doing something. Because it has been so cold, I thought I would post on something more hot and sunny. Such as my stint with the ladies at Wet Republic, the big pool party held at the MGM Grand. It was something that the bride-to-be wanted to do. Honestly, i realized that it really wasn't my kind of thing. Luckily, I didn't have a hangover from the night before but I wasn't in the mood to drink at all. There's a big pool but it wasn't for swimming. Rather, people stood/walked/relaxed in the pool while sipping on their drink. What a waste cos I love swimming! Good thing I didn't bring my goggles cos then I would have looked really dumb. Haha. The sun was a blazin' that day and it was so freaking hot. You know, I'm chubby, I don't want to wear a bathing suit, I don't wanna lay out in the sun, I don't wanna be around ed hardy and affliction wearing meat heads. I'm just not fabulous enough to hang with this crowd. But for a friend, I will do anything and will be down for whatever. Our waitress was this super awesome and sweet girl named Angela. I think that was her name. She was pushing forty and was rocking this crazy body. She was gorgeous! And she was Chinese. She came to vegas cos she was hired as a playboy bunny for the palms. We all really liked her and the bride-to-be gave her this fat tip. I think Angela enjoyed us cos we were a bunch of down to earth girls unlike the more obnoxious frat like guys that were all around us. We ordered some food that was all pretty good. Expensive but good. Wet Republic always has some sort of celebrity who hosts their Sunday pool parties and that day it was some of the cast of Hellcats. I had no idea what that was at the time but I did recognize Ashley Tisdale. They pretty much had their own VIP area so their was no chance of us getting to meet them. This whole thing is so overly contrived that I'm just getting super irritated thinking about it. So i better end it here before i get mad at big poppa for no reason.

Trippin': Las Vegas - Wet Republic
Thursday, February 3, 2011
Restaurant: Max's Wine Dive
4720 Washington Avenue
Houston, TX 77007
Happy chinese/vietnamese to everyone who celebrates the lunar new year. I can't say that I ever really do what I'm supposed to do to prepare for the new year. That's so bad! Every year I tell myself to clean the entire house but man ... that would just take forever and I'm so darn lazy. Plus, big poppa and I just got back from a vacay that left us with achy bodies that just wanted to lounge and rest. Moving on. Max's Wine Dive is prolly one of my favorite non-asian restaurants in Houston. I love so many things there but don't go all too often cos of the prices and well, the food really ain't all that healthy. So we'll go maybe once or twice a year. And when transam and mascara come to visit, that's our go to place. Here's to wishing everyone a year of good health a lots of fortune!
