My awesome weekend...in a nutshell
Moms View Message Board: General Discussion: My awesome weekend...in a nutshell
As I had mentioned, we had to drive 3 hours to Detroit for my dh's company Christmas party on Saturday. We had everything packed, were double checking and triple checking that we had everything and we did. We got it all in the car and then we drove to my mom's house (5 minutes away) to drop the kids off. As we got out of the car I said to dh, "hon, did you bring my dress and your suit?"
He sighs and says "good call Patti". Had I not realized that we forgot our FORMAL clothing, we would have been so screwed!
So we went back home and got our clothing for the evening.
We drove the 3 hours to Detroit. Had plenty of time to spare, so we checked out the MGM Grand Casino. Played some slots and dh played Craps for 15 minutes or so. We didn't win big and we didn't lose big, we came out pretty much even which is all I can really ask for 
We ran into some people he works with at the casino. THey had stayed there Friday night as well. The wife was telling us how their room at the hotel was freezing cold and the shower was awful and how cold the water in the shower was. Etc. etc.
Then we checked into the hotel. Long story short, my shower was WONDERFUL! Two shower heads, warm water and the fluffiest best towels EVER! The bed was king sized (we have Queen at home) and so comfy!
The party was fun, we ate and danced and drank until 2:30 a.m.! This is big news for us because we usually go to bed at 10 p.m. every night.
As we get into our room, my dh started emptying his pockets and says "Oh Sh*! Patti, do you have the camera?" NOPE,
So then he goes back to everywhere we were (I would have gone, but I was already undressed and in my pjs) he asked some friends if they saw it, they helped him look. NO CAMERA IN SIGHT. It's not a fancy super expensive camera, just a little, simple camera. But it was our camera and it's almost Christmas!
So in the morning we asked at the desk again, and they did not have it, we looked around more and did not find it. So we came home. Dh was sure someone had found it and decided to keep it.
I had a good feeling. I just had a feeling that someone from his company had found it and knew it was ours, or looked at the pictures on it and figured out it was ours. Dh was already looking for new ones on the internet last night. I kept telling him to just wait for Monday, someone has it, I know it.
8:00p.m. the phone rings. It's one of his bosses. He has our camera! Big sigh of relief!! I'm so glad.
He said he and his wife saw it on the chair in the little lounge area we were sitting in just before we went up stairs. They must have picked it up in the 5 minutes between when we left that room and when dh went back down to look.
With him buying a new snow blower, getting the dent in his truck fixed and my new earrings, buying a new camera was the last thing we wanted to do!
It was a fun weekend and ended up good too
Wow! What a weekend for you! Glad everything turned out well, and that you had so much fun! Still waiting to see pics of those earrings.
As soon as hubby gets home with the camera, i'll do that!
I am so glad you had a good time.. 
Sounds like a great time!! I'm so glad someone found your camera.
Sounds wonderful. And I love when the big "uh oh's" are taken care of before they are a problem. How often does that happen?
And how did your ears look with their new adornments?
That sounds like so much fun! So glad you guys had a great time! Post pics on the photo board when you get the chance!
I just emailed Dawn with some pics.
I can not really post many pics of the party. I feel funny posting pictures of people he works with. And that is what most of the pictures are.
I agree with you on posting photos that includes others not in your immediate family. I won't post those pictures either.
Sounds like a fun weekend! It must have been nice to have a short break from your kids.
I'm so glad you found your camera!
