Saturday night I got home and in bed by 3:30am (well I guess technically that would be Sunday), either way I spent my day in Vegas for my friends Bachelorette Party. She's getting married June 28th. I have to admit I was completely dreading going. My very first time to Vegas brought back bad memories and since that first time I’ve not really considered Vegas a fun place to go. But I went. Either way I will have to say that I had a lot of fun and had an enjoyable memorable time. It was my sister, the bride, her cousin (maid of honor) and me that went. The other girls couldn’t make it for some reason or other. But we were determined to have fun. Every time I’ve mentioned going to Vegas a particular friend keeps telling me “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas”. But honestly we did *nothing* that could be considered normal Vegas behavior. We were quite mellow actually.
The only thing that bothered me was the cousin/maid of honor. She is what you would call a perfect 9 on the scale of beauty yet she was the most insecure, self-absorbed, weak-minded, naïve person I’d ever met! I didn’t know people like her existed. It was all about her, when it was supposed to be all about her cousin’s wedding. She even prided herself on being more reserved then normal for her cousin’s sake of course. I would love to give details but let’s just say that I think it’s really sad when someone who is beautiful has no personality, and the personality that they do have is extremely annoying. It made me thankful that I am far from perfect. Because being far from perfect helps me have a personality and character. The statement that struggles builds character is right. I think the struggles I’ve had with my weight and being insecure have helped me have 500 times more personality then this girl had. I know that seems conceited in myself but if anyone knows me and met this girl, then you’d probably agree!
And speaking of imperfections, right now I’m struggling. I have a wedding that I’m going to be in two weeks from now and I have no motivation to try and work on my weight and eating better and going to the gym. But I have no motivation for anything at the moment. Life has been chaotic and it’s all I can do to wake up every day and go to work. I feel like I’m in a slump. I *know* I’m in a slump. I just need to get off my butt and start doing things. I think that will help. And so with that I’m going to go read my bible and start my afternoon out right!
Bye
