Is the Universe telling us something?

In September, when Steve went to Las Vegas with his friend, he came home sick.  In October, I came home from Chicago with Pneumonia.  Well, we got home from Vegas on Friday and guess what?  Steve is sick.  Again.  Poor guy woke up with a fever and chills.  It was so painful for me to have to keep pushing him so that we made our plane and than our connection.    Thankfully, he is feeling a little better now.

I do want to note that we also had a trip to New York in November and neither one of us got sick.  Hmmmm....maybe we are just meant to go there?  Something to think about.

While we were there we had a really good time.  It was a very laid back trip for us.  The reason for the trip was so Steve could do this car-thing in the dessert.  He was scheduled to do it in September but rain washed those plans away!  The day he went to do it, I did some retail therapy at the Fashion Mall which is right across the street from the Wynn where we were staying.  I got a few things.  Not much though because I didn't want to carry it home.

Our first night there we ate at the hotel at their ode to New York-style deli, Zu Zu Crackers.  I ordered the 1/2 sandwich and soup.  It was a cream of tomato and it was delish.  I only had a few spoonfuls and gave the rest to Steve.  My sandwich choice was a Rueben.    I had 1 bite of the full sandwich, grilled rye bread and everything in all its glory and than just picked at the meat.  Steve ate the rest.  Truly, he should weigh 400 lbs by now!  The next night we went to Maggiano's where he had Chicken Parm and I just ordered the grilled chicken and roasted pepper flatbread appetizer.  I had a little piece of that and a bite of his chicken plus a forkful or two of salad.  We also ordered a dessert sampler.  NY Cheesecake, Tiramisu, Apple Crosada, Creme Brule' and chocolate mouse cake.  We ate the Apple Crosada with vanilla ice cream at the restaurant and took the rest back to the Wynn because I had no room in my tummy!  I am not proud to say that I tasted every single one!  Our last night there we ate at Mario Batali's restaurant, Otto Pizzeria.  We ordered one individual pizza to share, they are huge!  and a salad.  I ate one piece of pizza and Steve ate the rest.

                                                                      

Dessert anyone?

At the Venetians Winter Wonderland

There was nothing that I wanted to eat that I couldn't.  What a change from the last time I was in LV when I still had my band.  Back in those days, I could always count on being too tight because of flying. I used to get so frustrated because I couldn't eat!   I am so thankful that I do not have to worry about that anymore.  My restriction never changes.  It is always just there.  I am also delighted that I managed to lose a pound while there too!  I guess its true what they say:  What you eat in Las Vegas, stays in Las Vegas.  Oh? Thats not what they say?  Who knew?

Except for the fact that my honey came home sick, we really had a great time!
