High: Amazing food including ricotta gnocchi from Wolfgang Puck and homemade table-side guacamole that should really become one of the basic food groups.
Low: Probably gaining about five pounds.
High: Getting on the VIP list at JET and seeing Heidi and Spencer.
He’s even uglier in person, if you ask me.

And Heidi, my god. Eat something!
Low: The arrival of three excruciatingly painful blisters that made each step through JET require calming breathing exercises.
High: My company’s 10-year anniversary party that started in a beautiful suite with a huge balcony overlooking the strip.
High: Meeting tons of industry people, making great conversation and being told that I look gorgeous in my dress.
High: Getting on the VIP list at Tabu and table dancing till 4:30 a.m. with coworkers and clients while drinking a $400 bottle of vodka.
Low: Getting up two hours later to begin the actual work part of the trip.
High: Meeting more industry people, editors and people from every major television network while learning a lot about my job.
Low: Standing in the freezing cold for nine hours each day.
High: Room service.
Low: There is no low to room service.
High: Finally coming home after a very long week.
Low: Seven hours of flying to get there.
High: Coming down the escalator last night and seeing Michael smiling up at me.
It’s good to be back, I’ve missed you! Now fill me in…what’s going on in your life? I feel so behind!

Welcome back! It figures that I started reading your blog [through Clink =) ] a few days before you leave! But, your guest bloggers were great.
I would love to hear more restaurant details…my boyfriend and I are going to Vegas on February 9th.
The escalator moment reminds me of that awesome scene in Cruel Intentions. Love it!

Hi there. This is officially my third comment ever on a blog. I feel welcomed to the club. After reading your blog (S who works in the office in front of mine at a university in new england, had it linked in hers) I decided to finally make my own. Who knew, it is not as hard as it seems. If I did it correctly, I think I linked it correctly. Also, I am too getting married in the next year, hate being late to things and went from red to blonde, hooray!
PS Did Spencer seem and awful as he is on the show?..Um, not that I watch it all the time or anything

YOU. Welcome back. You were missed, but that goes without saying.
And the dress? And the tan? And the blonde? Looooooooooove. Perfect.

I was sick, I made yummy chocolate chip cookies, work was the same old chore, oh, TGIF! : ) Glad you’re back.

Welcome back! All of your guest bloggers took great care of us
And ugh, Speidi!! The only “famous” person I’ve ever seen in Vegas was some NBA player was not very friendly. Glad you had a nice trip!

Hi hot stuff! We missed you!!!
Next time you’re in Vegas, we should really make an attempt to hook up, seeing that I can drive there in just a few hours! Looks like you had a total blast!!

Glad you had a great trip! My dog got hurt, but he’s all better now, and I got sold. Yep. Sold.
More Molly aka Marilyn photos, please.

Wow, those highs totally outweigh the lows! I’m glad it was such a great trip and I am even more glad that you are back.
Let’s see, I posted about this today but to answer your question, what’s been going on in my life is that I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism yesterday. Which is, overall, a good thing.
Have a great weekend! Enjoy being back with Michael!

Hi
Looks like you had a fab time. Oh, the dress. Where did you find that? It’s gorgeous, and gorgeous on you. And, sadly enough to say, I didn’t know who Spencer and Heidi were. I’m behind on the times, I guess… but no matter, I know who they are now. Anyway, glad you had such a nice time. Have a great weekend!

Can you take me next time? I’m so jealous.
Nothing new to report…same old boring me

Um, well, let me see what is new with me… Hmm… Okay, okay, I GOT ENGAGED, but of course you already knew that.
Vegas looks like it was tons of fun. That dress is hot (guess the blue one didn’t work?) and those people were right – you do look gorgeous in it!
Welcome back. I missed you like a fat kid misses cake.

$400 bottle of vodka? O.M.G.
You missed nothing, how can we compete with a fabu trip to sin city?
January 11, 2008 at 2:26 pm

I missed you! I just game to your site all “gah, I wish molly were back” and yay you are!
So welcome back. Don’t leave again. Vegas seemed like a blast, spedi suck, but her shoes look like they could be cute. Were they?
*sigh* I want a vacay. Stat.
Again, welcome back!

Hi, Molly! Welcome back! We’re glad to have you, although your guest-posters were all awesome! =)
I’m leaving for Vegas in less than a month (only a one-hour flight each way for me! yay!), and now I absolutely can’t wait! Oh… and you DO look gorgeous in that dress.
January 11, 2008 at 3:58 pm

Absolutely nothing remarkable happened to me. I mean, how could I compete with tableside guacamole, a gorgeous dress, the Vegas strip, table dancing, and $400 vodka?! So.Jealous.

Welcome back, Molly! You look gorgeous, and I love your dress!
I can’t believe you saw Speidi. You totally should’ve thrown an egg at Spencer or something.
January 11, 2008 at 4:13 pm
Ashley
You’re back!! Welcome! We’ve missed you!
I’m so jealous of your vegas trip! I have yet to go (i KNOW!) You looked fabulous and that dress is awesome.
I’m back with D, I guess thats new!! But who cares about me, I want more updates
(Ps. That guac looks aaaaaamazing.)

Good to have you back Molly!

Wait – your conference/trade show was OUTSIDE? Ew!
Other than that, it sounds like fun! Let’s just say MY business trips wouldn’t involve table dancing and expensive drinks – more like armed guards and a third world country. Fun.
Glad you’re back!

Oh sounds like a fabulous trip! Glad you’re back!

You’re back! You’ve been missed. Any chance there are leftovers from that $400 bottle of vodka? Send this way.
P.S. I love those boots you’re wearing.

Wow, seriously! You looked fantabulous in that dress!! Ow Ow!
I’m so glad you had such a great time. But I’m even more glad you’re back!

I missed you Molly! Particularly during this week’s boot-purchasing escapade. I thought of you the whole time

molly!
i’m so happy you’re back. please don’t go away for a while now.
love the pictures. so much to comment … like homemade tableside guac?? gah. i need some now. and you look absolutely stunning … that gray dress is so beautiful.
i think it’s hilarious you saw speidi in person. i’m surprised spencer wasn’t attacked? i mean, people let him just walk around like … he’s a normal person or something?
and michael waiting for you at the escalators … was it very cruel intentions-esque?
welcome back!

Yeah, Molls is back! Amazing dress and amazing career opportunities. Dancing on the table with expensive liquor? Nicely done.
So Mikie… how come we never do that? Maybe we should.

Sounds like an utter blast.
My work parties are more along the realm of potlucks than trips to Vegas… *sigh*

LOVE that dress. Looks amazing on you. I’m having body envy.

ok i find it totally cool you got to see Speidi in person. and yes- he’s very ugly.

Your trip sounds fun! Glad you’re back

Good to have you here. And good to see you today. Is it weird for me to say, that after hearing you talk about your new gig, I’m proud of you? And, like I said, just remember who gave you your first break!

We missssssssed you (though your guest bloggers were awesome in your absence). Quick notes:
You make me crave gnocci and guac.
That dress could not be prettier- the color is perfect on you!
The table dancing and vodka sounds superb- this new job sounds like a good fit.
Hope you’re having fun decompressing at home with Mike and the pup!

Also you do look tres faboo in that dress, and I am officially REALLY hungry after reading that post.
I’m glad you had such a great trip! Mostly though, I’m just glad you’re back.

Whoa, freezing cold? In Vegas?
I can’t even imagine because my company’s conference is always in July when it’s 110 degrees every day.
Did you see any Elvises?
January 14, 2008 at 10:44 am

you are so cool because you hang out with heidi and spencer. and i totally knew he was even uglier in real life, but thanks for the evidence

table dancing with co-workers til 4:30am? i knew i liked you for a reason.
there is a restaurant near my house that prepares tableside guac. there is nothing better.
