I'm a head in a blankey, I'm a head...




I head to Las Vegas tomorrow and am excited to see the lights, hear the clinking of the coins, and most of all, see the Divine. Totally cool. Now, I haven't packed and haven't gotten everything together. I certainly don't take after my mom. She lays her suitcase out for a week. In fact, I think my grandma does too! It skipped a generation I think. I return in the dead of night like 1:30am! Since no one loves me enough to pick me up that late/early, I will will be driving my own car. The Harlettes, Bette Midler's backup troupe of singers and dancers are having a contest at Whole Foods in Vegas. The person with the best salad recipe gets tickets and a meet and greet. What are my chances? Are the stars collaborating to say, go, try, you are already in town the Saturday they are doing it. You have a good friend who is a cook...figure it out! So, off I go.

Driving car: $30
Doggie Sitting: $45
Staying at the Luxor: $100
Having a damn good time in Vegas: Priceless

I have promised my mother for weeks that I would show the curtains Diane and I made (okay, mostly Diane) for the new house. They are great. I should give a shout out to my buddy Sherry who had the fabric we added to lengthen the curtains. Aren't they awesome? Also, for mom, the bedding. Oh yes, and the new couch too.

Dr. Wilson,
Your mother is just like my sister. She plans a trip and she starts packing her suitcase weeks before the trip. She matches underwear, shoes and everything with one outfit. She takes it out puts it back and then double checks her clothes and it is still two weeks for the trip. I don't I start the day before and what ever I forgot I buy. I do not have time to be matching things and I go with the flow. You are probably back but I hope that you had a good time. I personally want to experience a cruise. I hope that I do get to go!
