I spent the weekend in Arizona with Nicole at her and her husband's home.
It was a much needed escape from L.A. and it just reinforces the fact that my college friends, no matter how far we live from each other or how little we talk, are irreplaceable.
It's always amazing to be with someone who has been with you through the best of times and the worst of times, and still sticks around.
I was greeted at the airport by Nicole and her puppy Bella.
Surprisingly my albino self didn't even get a sunburn at the pool! Yay me!
We went out that night in her hometown, grabbed the best dinner ever and then decided to stop into the town casino, since neither of us have ever been.
Let me paint an image of the casino for you: probably the size of a Radio Shack, filled with old people, old chain-smoking people, obsessively pumping twenties into the machines hoping to hear that *ping ping ping* that means they won SOMETHING. We were clearly out of place, (under the age of 65 and dressed up for a night on the town).
We sit at two machines, I put in a $10 (i'm cheap) she put in a $20 (more daring). I win $7 and then lose it, then I hear a *ping ping ping*...$100...$200...$350. Nicole won $350, she looks at me, I look at her, she says "cash out and leave?" "yup"
and we walk out of there...$350 richer in less than 10 minutes.
I found a piece of art I want.
It's expensive.
I could probably fly to France for the price, but it's one of those pieces that if I don't have it my soul might get eaten by zombies.
Turquoise zombies.
We spent a blur of a night out in downtown Prescott. I danced with a cowboy. He was wearing all denim and a hat and called me "ma'am". I was wearing a short black dress and 5" stilettos...people stared as he flung me and my chicken legs around the dance floor.
I decided that cowboys weren't for me and we all went to In N Out burger instead.
The weekend was amazing, but I think the highlight was the Chinese Food buffet we went to right before the airport.
I love you Chinese Food buffet.
