Vegas here I come!

On Sunday we depart for Las Vegas, I can't wait! I've already started packing, but I realized that one luggage won't do for J and I. I don't know what I was thinking agreeing to that!

I've been a little irritated with J this past week. The one thing I hate the most is when he says he's going to call at a certain time and he never does. He does this all the time. For example, last night, he called me and said he would call me back before he left for bowling (since his phone was dead). This was at about 8pm when he just got home, finally at 9:45pm I wondered why he hadn't called, so I called him and he had left already. Very common of him to do.

I guess the bottom line is that when I need to get a hold of him, he's so hard to get a hold of. Last night he went bowling with his parents, but apparently left them there to go to the pro shop to pick up his other ball (last night was the night to do it because today we're supposed to be doing last minute errands, ie. laundry, exchange money, buy necessities. So when I called the alley his Dad answered and said he wasn't there, that he had to go to the shop. This was at around 10:30pm. I called because I wanted to let him know I realized that one luggage wasn't going to work for the both of us. (We're allowed to bring two 50 lbs of luggage, since he's bringing 6 bowling balls at 15 lbs each, not including the 3 free bowling balls he's getting in Vegas, we only have room for one luggage, sucks)

I tried calling the shop, but no one was answering. I called R's phone and he didn't pick up either. I had a feeling R was with J, so I sent him a text message asking J to call me. By this time it was about 11:30pm and his Mom had called me from the alley wanting to know if he was still going to meet them there (as if I knew). He finally called and I told him that his parents were waiting for him and why he didn't call his parents. So he called the alley just to find out they were closed already, so obviously they had gone. He called me back and I told him of the luggage situation. First thing he asked me was if I was folding it right. (Aargh!) Let me tell you how small this luggage is ok? It's luggage on rollers, it's practically a carry on, something that would fit in the compartment on top of you in the plane! He said I had to 'roll' the clothes for them to fit. Shit. 'Roll' it? I just had to tell him about our shoes and toiletries won't fit. He just told me to bring everything I wanted to bring and we'll figure it out when we get to his place. Well, I told him I was going to bring a handcarry and bet him that he's going to need another bag.

Am I being too sensitive here?

Guess what? He STILL hasn't done is laundry, which is pretty much sky high. And he does this all the time! He'll wait to do his laundry sometimes even the day that we have to leave! I hate doing things last minute. I think that's what's irritating me, and J is a last minute type of guy. He'll rush things as opposed to getting things done in a timely manner, which totally stresses me out!

So with the luggage thing, doesn't he realize that we're going to be shopping down there? I practically couldn't sleep last night because I kept thinking of all the bags that I'm going to have to lug around on our way home.

You know what's funny too? J and I always get into arguments before we go away. Because we do things differently. I wouldn't have minded if I just packed me own stuff, but J always wants to keep things minimal, so he'll pack his clothes with mine! (Sometimes I already feel like we're married even though we're not!) The two time we ALWAYS get into arguments is a. When packing and b. When in the kitchen!

Ok. I've never been to Vegas. I'm excited, anxious and a little nervous for some reason. I'm also excited about my haircut today! Can't wait!

It is strange that I have never liked seafood since EVERYONE I'm ever around loves it. Everyone else in my family, everyone in Guido's family, practically all of our friends - even for my wedding there was a seafood menu for our guests and a separate menu made for myself and our friend who's allergic. I've tried lobster, fish, crab, everything but the only thing I can stand the taste and texture of is shrimp... and it has to be grilled, heavily seasoned, or fried.

Guido and I always nip at each other before trips mostly because the days before are the toughest!! You're so excited but the days go by so slowly. We can be different too on trips - I'm all about sightseeing and taking hundreds of photos, Guido is more of a beach bum. We tend to balance each other out though, which is what I think you and J do too.
