Hi
Today we slept in and went to the pool. We decided on the topless pool again as Don had the VIP card to use to get in for free. It was the first time where the pool was ALL couples. And once again at the beginning I was the ONLY one with a top on. I got risqué and took off my bikini straps ha ha ha. Anyway, then of course the perverts show up. There were two guys sitting at the tables above - separately - that were on laptops and wearing shorts and shirts and Don said likely taping the whole thing on their laptop cameras. Then some dude came along wearing shorts and shirt and pretending to read and sat next to the two older lesbians. Which he started talking to them - since the topless one was sitting inches from him and Don said - obviously he didn’t realize they were lesbians since he was trying to pick one of them up. Then this sort of dorky Caucasian dude came and he had an asian girlfriend that didn’t look that westernized. Sort of bookwormish. Don was giving me 4-1 odds she wouldn’t go topless. I
wanted to take the odds just to defy him. She actually took off her top. Crazy. So Don was wrong the day before and today 😊 Then this girl came with her mom. Who goes to the topless pool with their mom? Ick. It was soo hot up at this pool today. I did some laps in the pool, read some magazine about stars and their cheating boyfriends and husbands (imagine that), then it was time to go.
Then we got ready and we went to the Gun Store where you can rent guns and shoot them in their gun range. So I asked Don beforehand if I would be able to shoot a paper target of Bush - Don said “No, obviously you can’t as republicans and guns go together” oops. He told me to make sure I don’t say that and don’t even make jokes about that. So I went with the “safe” choice of target - Osama Bin Laden. So I went there thinking I would just shoot a handgun. But all the guns on the wall are big huge semi-automatic rifles, etc.... So the guy is like “what are you going to shoot?” and i’m
like “yes, what am I going to shoot?” I said “I don’t want to dislocate my shoulder or something”. So they picked the Uzi for me since supposedly it was built for women and what all the women in Iraq use and so on. Don picked the AK47. We had $5 off coupons so all in it cost $96 to shoot these guns. So you get two rounds of bullets with the gun. My bullets, by themselves, weighed like 6 lbs or more and then the gun... So Don went first - the guy comes and sets everything up and tells you how to shoot the gun and changes your rounds.... Don’s gun had a lot of kick. So then it was my turn. Now I had wanted to go there with Don, but never dreamed I’d be shooting an Uzi. Crazy!! The gun was sort of heavy and awkward and you have to put this hand here, and those fingers there and then lean forward but not bend at the knees and so on... So in the beginning I was shooting and was totally off and was scared. It’s not as fun / exhilarating as you think ha ha
ha. So then I was ready to give up after the first round. Then the guys like “you can do this if all the Iraqi women are doing it....” So then he’s like “Just shoot down and more left...”. So then the second round I just wanted to get over with and just shot shot shot until the round was finished. I think some of my shots hit Osama in the face. Don got that picture - my gun is actually smoking from the constant fire!! The guy let us each keep a shell casing from our bullets. Cool. So all in it took like 15 min and we were done!! Once in a lifetime experience though 😊
Then Don had wanted to go to El Pollo Loco ever since I talked about eating there in Huntington Beach with Stephanie. Don ONLY wanted to go there BECAUSE the name translates into “Crazy Chicken” he he. So we both had 3 piece chicken meals (don ate my third piece) and I had corn on the cob and coleslaw with it and Don had beans and I can’t remember what else.
Then we went shopping at miracle mile for shirt
for Don at Lucky Brand, then we searched all over for an amethyst ring that Don’s grandma wanted, then we decided to go to Circus Circus since we’d never been there in all our times for vegas. But the circus acts weren’t performing that late, but we wandered through pretty fast, then were in “Slots of Fun” next door - these slot machines are all OLD ones where they actually pay out still in coins and not tickets!! Don had a foot long hot dog that is 99 cents!
Then we went back to hotel to watch our band and then have our LAST meal at Lucky’s. How sad....
Then I went back to room and was on internet and watching TV til almost 5 am. Don stayed downstairs gambling and drinking (I think he got upset because when we were shopping for another shirt for him at circus circus the girl working there asked him how old he was and he told her 38 and I said “no, 39” and so Don had been telling everyone all year that he was 38 and thought he was 38 so then he got depressed.... He’s like “But I don’t
feel 39, I feel 33”. Oops - guess I should have let him live in his delusional world. ...). Don went to bed at like 6:30 am!
