Because I’m an utterly fantastic daughter, I called my mom last Thursday to update her on my weekend travel details.
“Okay so I’m picking two of the girls up from the Burbank airport tonight, and then we’re leaving for Vegas really early tomorrow morning.”
“To meet the other blog people?”
“They’re real people mom.”
“That’s what she said.”
“What? Anyway, we’re staying at The Luxor, but I’ll have my phone all weekend in case you need me or anything.”
“I better not find any topless photos of you on the internet on Monday.”
“Um, excuse me?”
“You know, PHOTOS IN WHICH I CAN SEE YOUR NIPPLES.”
“What kind of meet-up do you think I’ve organized here??”
“One with people from the internet.”
“Mom, I’m a BLOGGER, not a PORN STAR.”
“I don’t care that you’re almost 24 years old! I’ll never take my mom hat off! Ever! You can’t stop this!”
“What are you SAYING?”
“People won’t respect you if you aren’t a lady.”
“Okay, we’re not even having the same conversation anymore.”
“And remember that time you were so hungover you wanted to peel your face off with a seafood fork!”
“I’m hanging up on you.”
“Don’t make me say I told you-”
Click.
Anyway, now that I’m on the other side of the (best ever) Vegas trip, I have happily assured my mother that I wasn’t at all hungover the entire weekend (win!) and that I’m 86% sure that there aren’t any topless photos of me on the internet.
Eh, 84%.
So while we’re waiting for those to surface (Just kidding mom! Or am I…? No really mom, get off the floor, I’m just kidding), I thought I’d share that while in Vegas, I:
1. Jumped in a freezing cold fountain
2. Somehow managed to then convince four other people to jump in an even BIGGER fountain with me while I tried to stick my hand up my dress.
and 3. Realized my life long dream of being a two-person-sideways airplane.

Remember our "stupid in love" e-conversation from a couple weeks ago?
Growing.
I miss you already. :[
& I was wondering why I didn't get in the fountain, but then I remembered that I had pants on, & I wasn't drinking a 40 oz. margarita! ;]
Thanks again for organizing such a great trip; so great to meet you and everyone else in person. The trip was awesomely stellar!
Your mom is hilarious! And now I want to be a two person airplane. It looks so fun!
Looks like you had an amazing time! I'm jealous!
LOOOOOOVE!!! The whole weekend was a win. I miss you. *sigh* Love.
It's always fun to be called a slut by your mom
Looks like you had a great time. How awesome to meet some of your blogger friends face-to-face. I'd like to hear more about that experience.
I hate you people for having fun all weekend. Bitches.
Kidding. Half kidding. Sort of kidding. Maybe.
you are "one of those internet people" who genuinely crack me up.
Looks like you had a great time! I am doing Vegas in August for my birthday – can't wait! What is can't miss?
My mom thinks I am involved in some underground nosey cult… she doesn't get blogging either.
Looks like an awesome trip! And I love how you casually toss in your mom being all like, "That's what she said."
I pretty much had the exact conversation with my mom when I went to the DC blog meet-up. I don't know what parents thinks we are doing on the internet but they are wrong (mostly).
why exactly didn't i come to vegas?
i have seriously poor decision making skills.
The conversation with your mom? It sounds like one I have almost every weekend! lol. Love the 2 person plane – can I be a third engine?!
Talk about perfect timing! I just bought a ticket for Vegas to meet up with my girlfriends! Your stories just made me even more excited!!
Lol your conversations with your mom are awesome! Glad you had a great time!
Read Katelin's post on Vegas and it just looks amazing! SO glad you had the best time! I miss Vegas…and ridiculous Vegas hangovers…
What an amazing weekend it was! Seriously. Your conversation with your mother is pretty classic, too. If mine knew who I had met, we would have had a similar one…
your mother sounds exactly like mine.
it is absolutely surreal seeing all of you in the same pictures. i'm totally jealous of your good time.
I am so sad I missed it!! Ok so you will have to be more obvious with your next trip!! lol That way I will be there for sure!
seriously, best weekend ever? yes i do think so.
love it all and love the pics, obviously there was a great photographer there, haha.
Hahahaha, I love those photos. Your mom sounds like a cutie. Glad you had a great time!
Remember how soon after these pictures were taken, we took note of my bloody foot, lost everyone else on the trip, and ate ridiculous amounts of fried food outside a wedding chapel? Best. Night. Ever.
You got off EASY. If I told my mom I was going to meet strangers she would lock me in my room.
We make a great two person sideways airplane, just fyi. I hope you had as great a time as i did. Can't wait to see ya again!
seriously, it doesnt matter how many times that conversation with your mother has been repeated… i die every time.
VEGAS WIN. (also? i fucking LOVE us.)
loved loved LOVED all the fun vegas pix popping up today!! You guys lookedl ike you had such an awesome time. I'd love to go to the next one!!!
But I want to meet you
I need to be at the next one!!!
Also, I tried that dress on today
SO cute!!
I love your mom. This is too hilarious. But much more, I love you!! I had a BLAST. I'm so glad you all were geniuses and thought of this.
Oh my gosh, let's just go back already.
Your mom is hilarious. She actually sounds a lot like my mom when we went on vacation warning my dad to not get put on YouTube because he was dancing to a steel drum band. "Don't get youtubed! You could get fired!"
Yes, I definitely should have gone…next year for sure, next year…
I feel like if I would've gone Matt (5280 ft) and I would've ended up in jail, so it's probably best I didn't.
I'm so jealous!! I'm jealous of you hanging out with all the bloggie friends and I'm jealous of all the bloggie friends getting to hang out with YOU!!
In the future I shall join one of these trips…when Imy funds aren't so… wedding-minded
Oh come on… the fountain couldnt have been THAT cold…
And yes… if Chris was there, we probably would have went to jail.
Did you organize a blogger's conference in Vegas? Why wasn't I invited?
your dress is super cute!!! glad you had fun!
The conversation with your mom is hilarious! It looks like you had a fantastic time. Let us know if those photos crop up.
Looks like a GREAT time – PS Loved the conversation with your mom! LOL
I am so, so, so glad I went! I am already counting down for next year! Ahhh…the memories!
It looks like it was soo much fun.
I wish I could have come!
Ha! Your mom sounds awesome.
So that whole Vegas thing…best idea ever. I am so incredibly happy to have been a part of it
jumping into a fountain and sticking your hand up your crotch is a vegas essential!
looks like you had a blast! Whats a fun time!
ahhh i wish i was there for that fun
