Things I Learned In Vegas


The Buffet was really good. However--do people not realize that it is ALL YOU CAN EAT?! Why oh why do they pile their plates sky high with food?! I will NEVER understand it. Food touching--NOT a good thing (at least for me)!!



Being drunk and swimming don't mix well. We saw 2 women in particular who were "smashed" and were trying to swim underwater. It is NOT a good mix people!! If it weren't for alert people watching--they would have drowned. Also--could you please keep your beer out of the pool--and I mean that LITERALLY.




Next I learned that you are never too old (or fat) to wear a Speedo.



And finally, the last thing, some men don't have to wear a shirt. They have a built in one. Yes--we saw several of these in the pool. I kept getting scared that the filters would clog up with body hair and we would all drown. Now don't you all want to run out, get in your car, and drive to Vegas?! I know I do!! (0;

That is too much! Oh my! And that last picture...if there were REALLY people like that in the pool I don't think I could have gotten in. LOL Glad you're back!

Kristina P. said...

Swimming pools are some of the worst places in America.

Jules AF said...

A guy who used to go to the gym at the same time as me totally looked like that and would wear tank tops. YUCK

Lara Neves said...

I have always been so thankful my husband isn't a very hairy person.

Jillene said...

Kacey--The only reason we got into the pool with said hariy men was because they were on the OTHER side of the pool (the pools are pretty big)!! LOL

Lara--I thank my lucky stars everyday that my hubby is not hairy on the chest and back.

Miss Daisy/Tink said...

Hilarious Jillene! BTW, I LOVE the look of your new blog! It's fun and uplifting!

Me (aka Danielle) said...

eww! EWWW! EWWW!

Dawn Parsons Smith said...

You crack me up! lol!

Chilly wants to hit Vegas soon for the sole purpose of buffet hopping. He doesn't care a bit about gambling, just the buffets! lol!

(Not a fan of food touching either!)

Debbi said...

I think I threw up a bit in my mouth just then. Food touching: not a big deal to me. But the others????

UH. ew.

my stay-at-home-momma drama said...

I'm laughing over here.

Bobie said...

At least you had free entertainment!

Erin said...

That is seriously so disgusting! Just seeing/hearing those things make me never want to get in a swimming pool again.

Jillene said...

Bobie--
So VERY true!! We were highly entertained the entire time. And if not by the weirdo's and funny people--then by O. Wait for tomorrow to see her video. It's HILARIOUS!!

Shell in your Pocket said...

Oh..no no no!!!

All that hair...come on!!! Where is the shaver????
sandy toe

I would die!

Strawberry Shortcake said...

I always love the lessons I learn on vacation. That last picture is actually one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen. Yuck! Good one :) Sorry I missed you at the luncheon, but glad you had a wonderful time!!

Kristen said...

EEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! THAT PICTURE MADE ME THROW UP IN MY MOUTH A LITTLE!! GROSS JILLENE WHY DID YOU POST THAT?! Seriously though, it looks like you had a lot of fun and the kids had a blast! Sorry that they got sick that sucks.

Sarah said...

EEEWWWWW!

Jessica said...

Let this be a lesson that you should never, never leave Zion again. Even if you are being lured by cheap vacations, sunny skies, and delicious food.

Sher said...

Now THAT's what I call a sweater! EW!!

Christa said...

Strangely enough, none of these things make me want to jet on down to Vegas.

Sheri, RN said...

LoL funny commentary. I've never seen anyone that hairy... they need to go to the salon and get waxed lol

Lee said...

When I go to the buffet at the Rio, (which is the best buffet in Vegas), I always keep my foods separated. I get spazzy and crazy if my food touches.
The flavors DON'T MIX!

Lorie said...

Ew Ew and EW!

It is a good thing I don't mind my food touching or all of the pictures would have been worthy of an EWWWW!

Wendyburd1 said...

That food looks GOOD! Except I am with you, I hate my food touching...unless it is something I am okay with touching. Stuffing CAN touch mashed potatoes and the chicken...uhmmm everything else I like to not touch....heehee

Chillygator said...

1. Those are some disturbing pictures...

2. Apparently in Spanish beaches shirts are optional for women as well, hair or not. Also disturbing (o:

3. Amen on the food touching! I mean, really, it will still be there in the 10 minutes it takes to eat the first round. Ick.

Somehow I wonder why I still have never been to Vegas (o:

Just SO said...

So you are in the the no food can be touching camp? Not me. Can we still be friends?

I am shuddering at the pool scene in Vegas. Yikes.

D said...

That's hilarious.

We had a friend in high school with such a hairy back that whenever he went shirtless in the summer, we suggested that he take off his sweater too.

rychelle said...

i don't think i've eaten at a buffet in over 10 years. blech.

i'm glad you had a good trip, but i'm sad we missed each other.

Whitney R said...

goo... the drunk people swimming in the pool, I could deal with. But the HAIR?! yikes.... I still want to swim, though :)

Country Mouse, City Mouse said...

You know, the hairy back/arms is worse to me than the old guy in the speedo.

I could go for that plate of food.

Country Mouse, City Mouse said...

I just read over at Gramme's that you got your streamer!! yippee. I hope you enjoy it.

heather said...

Oh gross. That picture is so gross. And it kinda reminds me of a post MomBabe posted awhile ago. You should go read it. :)

Unknown said...

Yuck-o!
I love Vegas once in a while, but we always stay away from the strip and in Residenc Inn- it is not usually filled with such drunken and hairy people. (We go for hubby's work). I hope your next trips are hair free.

Unknown said...

PS-
Missed seeing you at the lunch!

Anonymous said...

hilarious Jillene!
that hairy back is grody!!!!

Paige said...

I cannot have my food touch either. Or the juice from one touch the others. Uh huh, no way.

But I cannot do buffets either-- I see no reason to eat like I am in prison until I am.

Jillene said...

Ramona-
I missed seeing you too. I guess we need to plan another one so that I can see you--and soon too!!

kel said...

oh my gosh.... the back hair.... ewww..

3 Bay B Chicks said...

Fantastic post, Jillene. I would have to say that you learned pretty much everything that you needed to in Vegas.

When is your next trip? :)

-Francesca

Miss Daisy said...

Ewwww! Some disgusting things! I hope you had a fun time, tho! I'm not a fan of Vegas. I went a couple of times and seriously was turned off by all of the pornography cards and ads you find trashed all over the streets.

Liz Mays said...

You know when I eat at a buffet I have to disinfect my hands before I actually eat because of all the freaks that might have touched the handles of the serving spoons before me.

a Tonggu Momma said...

Food does not touch over here either. When I was in college, my roommates pooled some money and bought me a lunch cafeteria try - you know the kind with the little squares and rectangles? Heh.

Jo said...

Ewww, ewww, ewwww!!! I am so grossed out.

Jessica said...

OMG!!!! No Comment!
