Miller

On Tuesday the 2nd I went to Reno for women's nationals bowling. I got home on Saturday the 6th. I had such a blast. The car ride there went faster then I thought. It was about 9-10 hours long. That included us stopping to get gas, eating lunch and stopping in Fallon to see Sarah R.'s Grandma. We had a four car convoy. I rode with Sarah and Darcy. I've got some great stories to tell. Just so you don't get confused, there are two Sarah's. There is Sarah R. who is one of my best friends and then there is Sarah M. who I know from bowling. I will refer to them as Sarah and Sarah M. I'm just going to go day by day and tell my fabulous stories.

TUESDAY: Sarah came and got me and we went to her mom's which was the meeting place. We stayed at the Silver Legacy Hotel. We checked in, went to our rooms then went to go eat dinner. At dinner I saw there was a bloody mary advertised. I like them so I thought I would get one. Darcy said she would try it. It sucked. It tasted like you were drinking salsa with ice. We looked more closely at the menu and it said that it was a bloody mary with a salsa taste. What a waste of money. I told Darcy that they normally don't taste like that. After dinner the young ones which is Sarah,Darcy and me went to a bar in the hotel. It had a tropical theme. We got us a table and missed the karaoke contest. We were a little sad about that. We got ripped off on our shots. Darcy wanted a shot of vodka. I asked the waitress if we could have lemon drop shots. She comes back and asks if we said shots or martini's. We said shots. She comes back with glasses a little bigger then a standard shot glass. $7.50 each she says. I was like WTF!! She said that the bartender started to make us martini's. So we got charged for a full size drink and got half the drink. It pissed me off. So after our "shot" we go back to our room. Darcy and I convinced Sarah that we ALL need to go back out. Darcy had some cute tops that she let Sarah and I borrow. So we changed clothes and went back down to the bar. We got a tall table in the back corner and off to the side of the piano. We really just wanted to people watch. We got another drink, a full size one. There was a cute short little round lady there dancing. She was probably in her forties. She had some major moves. I was a little jealous. She really knew how to shake it. It was fun watching her dance. Then there by the piano is where we spotted them. At first it looked like they were dirty dancing, then they were pretty much dry humping each other. Us 3 girls started laughing our butts off. They weren't the best looking or in the best shape to be showing off the skin we saw. Here is a picture I drew of some of their moves they did. The picture is of the bar we were in. The stick people on the left side is when she had her leg in the air. The one by the piano is the first move we saw.

There was a DJ by the piano. I will call the girl chica and the guy porky. So Chica is holding onto the table where the DJ has his stuff. She's making eye contact with the DJ while Porky is grinding and thrusting his groin on her butt. Gross! Chica and Porky would do a little dry humping by the piano then go back to a table against the wall and do some there and then back to the piano. One time Porky lifted his shirt up and Chica was grinding her butt on his pot belly stomach. They did stuff like that off and on all night. Well one of the times they were on the piano we look over and Chica's pants are down and her butt is hanging out. Then WHAM! My eyes!!!! She turns around and I see her crotch. Then Porky's hand moves down. That's all I'm gonna say about that. Chica pulls up her pants, but leaves her belt undone. I'm gonna guess that this guy named Jeff who worked there was the night manager. He came buy to see how we were and we told him about the dirty couple. I don't think he believed us. During our time there we saw Steve who is Sarah M.'s husband. He came and sat with us. Another couple we saw were the oldest ones in there. They had to be in their 60's or 70's and they could still move. We called them Grandma and Grandpa. The young girls in there seemed to flock to them. I told Sarah and Darcy that they were probably there to find a bed partner. Well Steve boogied out onto the dance floor after we told him to go dance with Grandma and this one girl. He gets next to them and they both sit down. Steve came back. We felt bad for him. After he came and sat back down with us they got back up and started dancing again. Steve wanted to dance really bad. So Sarah and Darcy Volunteered me to go dance with him. I'm really self conscious and I felt stupid out there so I thought I would make fun of the dirty couple. I throw my leg around Steve and yell at Sarah and Darcy saying "Who am I, who am I?" I got a few weird looks. I'm a few inches taller then Steve so I'm sure we looked funny with the way we were dancing. I danced one more time with Steve and while doing so, Grandpa came and started hip bumping me. I thought that was ok. Then he shimmed down and when he came back up ran his hands up my leg. Steve thought it was funny. I told him it was time to go sit back down. It was around 1:30 in the morning when we decided to call it a night. As we were leaving we saw Jeff by the door and told him he was missing the "Show" meaning the dirty couple. I told him they were back on the piano. He turned around and his face was so serious and he went to the piano. We left before the couple found out that I ratted on them. I didn't mean too, I just wanted Jeff to see what I was talking about. We then went to bed.

WEDNESDAY: We got up and ate breakfast at 11. We weren't schedule to bowl until 10pm Nevada time, 11 my time back home. This night was team bowling. We had to be there 2 hours before we bowled. We went to Jcpenney's in the mall. One of the lady's in our group need to find a matching color shirt for the team bowling. We went back and watched t.v. We figured since we had to be at the bowling center two hours before we bowled, that we would just eat there. We get there and register and the lady tells us he wave about 30-25 minutes to eat and then we have to be in the back room where no food or drinks are allowed. We go to the food stand and there was only one worker and 10 of us. She did get a helper later on. We scarfed down our food and went to the back. You are required to take a team photo. Deanna bought me a picture of us. I wasn't on Sarah's team, but that was ok. We bowled beside each other. One of the main ladies for the bowling organization informed us that we needed to have our bowling shoes on. We all had to go back and get them. Later she informed us that we wouldn't be bowling at 10 but at 10:45! I was a little mad. They said the group of bowlers before us had started late because the main computer wasn't working. I was mad because they knew that when we went and registered and then tell us we only have 25 minutes to eat. We had an extra 45 minutes. Whatever. So we finally get to go bowling. This was my first time at nationals. It was different and some people are so serious about it. I went for fun. I'm not the best bowler, so I knew I wouldn't win any money. We got done around 2 in the morning Nevada time. We went straight to bed.

THURSDAY:We didn't have to be at the bowling center until 5. We bowled at 6. This time it was doubles and singles bowling. I was Sarah's double partner. We got cute matching shirts. My mom sewed on the pink P and S for us. Thanks mom. I think everybody had more fun this night then we did on Wednesday. Probably because we didn't bowl so late. In the bowling center they have vendors and things. Kim(Sarah's mom) bought me a bowling towel. Thank you Kim!!! I think we got done around 10. We went back to the hotel and got dinner. Darcy and I wanted to go out and play. Sarah was tired and we tried to convince her to come out. But she need sleep. I felt bad leaving her in the hotel. She said it was ok. Sarah M. and her husband Steve wanted to go out and play too. We went back to the bar we were at on Tuesday. We didn't go in at first and just sat at the tables outside the bar and got a drink. We finally went in and went to the back to check out the beer pong that was going on. The beer pong was pretty much over. We saw Jeff the manager again and I asked him what happened with the dirty couple. He said he was disgusted with them and kicked them out. We got a table and started people watching again. Sarah M. made me dance with Steve. She wouldn't leave me alone until I did. I said "Your his wife, you dance with him". She said she didn't dance. I only had one drink and looked like a stiff board on the dance floor. We saw this black girl dancing and she was pretty good. Her Friend offered us some of her wine, but we said we were ok. Later we saw her and a Jamaican guy dancing. They looked great. They moved so well together. We thought they were together. But they weren't. After the dance the guy walked by and Darcy told him that he was a good dancer. He stayed and talked our ears off. He went in to his marriage and how they were having problems and other stuff about love and relationships. He was nice but he wouldn't leave. During that time a guy comes over and rubs elbows with Sarah M. He asked if one of us would like to dance. We told him no and that we were married. He wouldn't leave and still kept bugging us. I told him that we were from Utah and that it was ok to have more then one wife. He looked really confused. We told him that we were pligs. He still didn't get it. He told Steve that some of the people there thought he was a pimp and we were his hoes. What the F!!! We didn't look like hoes. I was still wearing my bowling shirt. Sarah M. said "We are his Wives!!!". He then went to Steve and asked if he could dance with one of us and if he wanted to smoke weed with him. Steve was like "NO!" Finally he left. During our people watching we came across two guys and two girls. First one couple were making out and then then the guys switched girls. I was like gross, swap spitters. I was having a hard time saying those two words. Steve was like do you mean spit swappers. Darcy leans over and asks how I'm feeling. Without missing a beat I say "Horny". She starts laughing and says that isn't what she meant. I was thinking I wish Wyatt has here. Two O'clock came and the bar was closing. One of the workers got on the mic and said that we could go to the Aura Bar downstairs. It was open until 3. We left the bar and the girl who offered us some wine said that on Thursday nights ladies get one free drink in the Aura bar and at $7.50 a drink I wanted my free drink. I had 2 full drinks by myself and then Darcy and I shared 2. I'm not sure how many Darcy had by herself. We were heading back to our rooms and before you get to the elevators for the rooms you have to show a security guard your room key. We get up there and both me and Darcy start having a laughing spell. She started to tell us about this movie and me and her could not stop laughing. We told Sarah and Steve that we weren't tired yet. Sarah was all for staying out. We headed down to the Aura bar to get our free drink. We get there and a guy hits on Darcy.... Again. I ask the guy at the entrance if we can still get our free drink. He said yes and gave us our coupons. Steve went in to get us a table and us girls went to go pee. I get stopped by the guy who just hit on Darcy a few minutes ago. He tries to hit on me and I told him that I was married. He was like to bad, I was going to jump you. I was like "Umm, thanks?" I got my hand back and met up with Sarah and Darcy. We get back to the table and Steve has two guys sitting with him. I was said "Steve, we can't leave you alone for five minutes without you picking up on guys". The guys were nice, but weird. When we got in I asked our waitress if she had a drink menu. She looks around and says not right now. I think she had put them away already and didn't want to get one. There wasn't very many people in there. Anyways I tell her to get me something fruity and tropical. Darcy got a shot of vodka. I sucked my drink down. This one drink was better then all the other drinks I had on this trip. If I like the drink, I don't waste my time. By now I'm feeling a little warm inside. The two guys stayed at our table. One of us asked about this tattoo he had and he explained that he's into anarchy. There names were Jesse and James. They go into how James stabbed Jesse in the back and how Jesse shot one of his friends with a rifle. I look at them and say laughing "you guys are CRAZY". Like I said I'm a little tipsy. 3 O'clock rolls around and the bar is closing. We head back to our rooms and me and Darcy still want to play. Steve was like "NO". We get to the security guard again and Darcy and I have the giggles BAD. We make it up to our room and I still don't know what Darcy was doing, but she strikes a pose and holds it for a little bit and then runs down the hall. We're all laughing now. We get into our room at 3:30am. Our Sarah wakes up and is like where have you guys been. I thought you would be back around 2. I took that as she wanted to hear about our night. As Darcy and I get ready for bed I tell her the stories. Darcy is like "Paige, your crazy. Your not making sense". It sounded like I was. I crawl into bed with Sarah and Darcy has her own bed. I finish up the stories and then silence. A few seconds pass and Sarah says "wow, you two sure got quiet". Darcy and I both start laughing our heads off again. Then Sleep came.

FRIDAY:We had to be ready by 9am. Darcy wakes up not feeling good at all. I felt bad for her. But I felt good, just a little sleepy. We checked out and headed to Virgina City where we met up with Sarah's Grandma and Aunt. Now it is just Me, Darcy, Kim and Sarah in Darcy's car and then Deanna and Kirsten in their car. It was raining when we got there and a little cold. It was a neat little town and a tourist trap. Sarah, Darcy and I got the old fashion pictures done. We spent most of the day there and then went to Fallon and spent the night at Sarah's grandma and aunt's house. It was so nice of them to let us stay and they also fed us. Sarah's Aunt took me and Sarah to the liquor store so I could get Wyatt his whiskey.

SATURDAY:On the road again, just can't wait to get on the road again. We got home a little after 6pm. It was so nice to be home. The car ride seemed longer on the way home.
All in all, it was a great trip. I had so much fun and enjoyed the company. Here are some pictures from the trip. Enjoy!
