Vegas, Baby!


On Friday, I leave for a trip to Las Vegas – a long weekend. I am so excited…for so many reasons.
1) Time with my girl
2) Her friends are going, so that makes me the 5th wheel. That means I have no planning responsibility whatsoever for outings, etc. I can just “be”. I can just “go with the flow”
3) No work
4) Warm(er) weather – is anyone as tired of the ugly snow and cold temps. as me?
5) People watching and sightseeing
6) I have never been to Vegas. Considering that this is a pleasure-trip, I can treat this as a vacation. I mean, I get to go to some pretty cool trips for work, but make no mistake…I’m there for work - work is always looming. On this trip, the only thing I need to worry about is making sure I’m on the flight home.
7) No laptop as my carry-on. It may surprise you, but that thing causes so much grief. Do I have it? Taking it out of the bag. Going through security. Putting it back into the bag. Do I have it?

The only thing that would make this trip better is if I won some big bucks while there. That may prove to be a bit of a problem considering I don’t know how to play any games…and the thought of sitting at a table is intimidating.

Do I know anyone more sick of the cold and snow than you? Ummmmm... how about everyone who has been here while you've been in Mexico for weeks and only have to deal with the snow on the weekends. How about your poor dear sis Kristin? I think I have serious windburn on my face and ass cheeks after today's blustery wind. But seriously....I hope you 2 have fun. Find a nice single RICH man to bring back for me!
