Yesterday I went to the most adorable little store. Blickenstaff's Fun for Everyone, a vintage toy shop, with some very cute old school toys that I wish I had when I was a kid. And of course, a candy wall (which is where I spent my money. I can't resist the sweet treats!). This is a new(ish) store at the gateway shopping center. I say (ish) because I haven't been there in some time so it is new to me. I really had fun while I was there. I played with some of the puzzles, and just had a good time looking around! I will have to take my siblings there and see what they think of this little toy shop.

Vegas 2012
I bet you thought I forgot I said I'd upload pics didn't you? Well honestly I did... but I only forgot by a week or two. So I just uploaded this via my phone and they aren't in order so lets just get started!
Here is the first dress I wore walking the strip.
The chandelier at the play Phantom. It was so amazing and cool!
My Sugar Factory jar of candy. A very yummy treat I wanted more of.
The two new pairs of shoes I bought for the trip.
Inside the Paris hotel. It was so cool! Even the bathroom was pretty.
Outside on the stip. So many people! And the drivers there are nuts!
Amaaazzziiiinnngggg pizza.
Statues, I think these were outside the Paris hotel. Reminded me of Doctor Who.
[Don't Blink.]
Inside the Venetian where we got the amazing pizza. There were three pigeons who managed to get inside the building. And at one point it became night inside and the sky went out. It was too fun.
Water show outside of Caesar's palace.
This was by far my favorite meal. Fresh garden salad, sangria(?) was the drink. I liked snacking on the apple bits after I was done, steak sirloin, and banana nutella sandwiches for desert. So so good.
My sister and I outside the water show.
This was at the pizza place too. The fries and cheese were to die for.
Giant donut from Serendipity!
The Eiffel Tower.
I'm not sure what this is called. But it sure looks good.
Another "What I wore" picture.
It really is frozen hot chocolate from Serendipity. I expected a milk shake, but it really was hot chocolate!
The aquarium at the hotel we stayed at.
At the pool with a "Jello Surprise."
Walking the strip again, so much traffic.
And what I wore to Phantom.
Overall the trip was a blast, but I don't think I'd go again anytime soon. Maybe for another bucket of candy.

The Push
There is this constant strain in me. This pushing and pulling, and pushing and pulling... I can never sit still for more than a second because the blood clots with the dust in my veins. And the world won't wait for me to shake the dust. I can feel myself freeze but time doesn't stop with me. The pushing and pulling makes the colors bright and the darkness fade but it doesn't fade for me. The air feels heavy in my lungs as the days come and go. The weight is too much and the pushing and pulling doesn't stop for anyone.
But I'll still give you my all. Not just you, but our brothers, our sisters, our parents, and their parents passed. These words are for you, and for me, and for anyone who let their blood clot, and their veins stop, for the swollen lungs, and drowning eyes. This is so you know the pushing and pulling is for you. And it doesn't stop for anybody.
