Well, this week was a fun one! Between Halloween shenanigans, a familiar little furry face, some wild Vegas weather, and a new eight-legged friend, I've got a few things to share...
HALLOWEEN IN VEGAS
So, apparently it was Halloween last weekend. Which I realized approximately three hours before deciding to go out. Naturally, I had absolutely no costume planned.
But, I'm nothing if not resourceful.
I found a googly eye, stuck it to my face, and called it a costume. That's it. That was the entire look. Luckily, nobody asked me what I was supposed to be, so I got away with it. Honestly, I think the lack of explanation made it even better.
I ended up going to Piranha, a nightclub here in Vegas, and had a really fun night out! Met a bunch of new people, danced, and got to watch a drag performance of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Which, honestly, is the only appropriate way to experience Rocky Horror, if you ask me.
A FAMILIAR LITTLE FACE
Okay, this next one makes me really happy.
Skyler, my ex-husband, just got a new puppy! His name is Felix, and he looks almost EXACTLY like our old dog, Theo.
For those of you who knew Theo, you know how special that little guy was to us. He was such a huge part of our lives, and seeing this new little face that reminds us both so much of him is really something special.
And, of course, Felix now has his very own Instagram account. Because what else is a ridiculously cute puppy supposed to do with his time?
The best part? I was Felix's very first follower, and he was the very first account to follow me back. I don't know why, but that little exchange felt really special to me. A tiny, full-circle moment.
Anyway, if you want some puppy cuteness in your feed, give the little guy a follow!
WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS
Vegas had some pretty wild weather this week! We actually had TWO flash flood warnings, and quite a few areas around town ended up flooded.
Luckily, I was safely out of the flood zones, so no harm done.
But, the silver lining (quite literally) was the sky. The clouds over Vegas were absolutely beautiful. There's something about seeing dramatic, stormy skies over a city that's usually associated with sunshine, neon lights, and absolutely terrible life decisions :P
I managed to capture a pretty gorgeous view.
MEET CHARLOTTE
And, finally, I'd like to introduce you to my newest friend.
Her name is Charlotte. She's a black widow spider. And she lives just outside Craig's apartment.
Yes, an actual black widow.
I've started saying hello to her every time I leave the apartment and goodbye whenever I come home. Or maybe it's the other way around? Either way, we've developed a lovely little relationship.
She's very quiet, keeps to herself, and doesn't ask me for anything. Honestly, a pretty ideal neighbor.
We're maintaining a respectful distance, of course. I think that's probably best for both of us.
Anyway, that's about it for this week! A little bit of nightlife, a little bit of nostalgia, some beautiful skies, and a potentially deadly new friendship.
All in all, a pretty well-rounded week, I'd say.
Thanks for being here and following along with all the random little adventures that make up my life. I love getting to share these moments with you.
Much love,
<3 ak
