Randomness to keep the blog going...

How come on a man, undies peaking out of the top of a nice pair of jeans is kind of sexy but on a girl, totally skanky?

I am catching up on some back episodes of Glee. I was in choir all through school. Granted I had not solo potential and even our high school a'capella choir was no where near as cool as the Glee group I still loved. I totally miss singing in a choir. That is why I constantly torture my child and husband by singing along to anything I know the words too.

I'm really tired of Jon Bon Jovi. I know, I know, I am a Jersey girl and saying that is as sacrilegious as saying I'm not a huge Boss fan but its the truth! I enjoyed his comeback a few years ago with It's My Life but shortly after that he surpassed cool and became over played and pompous. And speaking over-play, I am SO sick of that Taylor Swift song about ditch the popular girl for me. [rolling eyes] Every station, every day it is played!!

I love Halloween but am horrible with costume follow through.
Halloween reminds me, have I told you the few who follow my currently rather lifeless blog about our town. Its crazy busy at Halloween. Very small town but for some reason people flock here to trick or treat. Hundreds!! no, I am not kidding. I buy several of those large 100+ piece candy bags they sell at BJs Wholesaler. So be on the look out for my post-Halloween blog with this year's number. Its going to be a Saturday so we are expecting a lot more then last year!

I've been waiting to post about the Vegas trip in the hopes of getting a particular photo from our friends. No such luck. Oh well. Any way. Vegas was great!! It was strangely relaxing. Our friends had been there before so I was totally cool with being blindly lead by them for the weekend. Look, Vegas was even happy to see us!



We ended up upgrading to a two-bedroom suite which was AWESOME and worked real well with this set of friends. I don't know if we'd be able to do it with any other friends. Our view was not of the strip but it didn't really matter considering how many windows we had in our suite! I just like saying "our suite". We were all stoked to score this suite and at a ridiculously cheap rate!!

Flying went well enough. Xanex worked well on the way out but sadly on the way back there were multiple issues working against the Xanex......limited sleep, 7 am flight, empty stomach and the utterly disappointing breakfast on the plane. All I need was a bagel with something on it, preferably cream cheese. Thought for sure they'd serve one of those lousy pre-cream-cheesed bagels. Did they? Noooo....a teeny bowl of cereal and a sugary muffin. I so did not need the sugary muffin and the cereal was far from enough. Plus the hubby pissed me off but I'm not going to go into that since I am over it, explained his error to him when we returned home, gave him the cold shoulder for two days until he really understood and apologized further. [shrug]
I missed my child immensely but really need the break. It was a surprisingly relaxing trip. Did I say that already? No wild drunkin night as one would expect from a Vegas trip. Next time!

Vegas here we come....

In a few days the hubby and I, along with another couple we are friends with, are taking a much needed adults-only weekend away! And its not to go to some one's wedding, it is strictly a vacation!! Where are we off to, you ask.....Las Vegas!! Yay!!! Hubby & I have never been so we are quite excited. Our friends have been which is great so we've got someone to sort of show us around. The downfall to all of this. I REALLY don't care for flying. And I REALLY don't care for flying while leaving my son for the weekend. We've gone away without him before but never so far! I'm so freaked out that I actually went to the doctor today to ask for a little somethin'-somethin' to help with the possible and probable anxiety that will creep up or crash down on me while awaiting our flight. And of course it is a long flight. I am thankful that it is a direct flight but ugg.....trapped. I'm generally ok with reading and watching a movie....keeping busy but just thinking about it was started to freak me out. So, off I go in a little bit to pick up my script for Xanex. Hurrah! Hope it will help. Never used it before.
