Vegas and Class News...

What News?

There's Good News and There's Just No News. First the Good News....

Went to Vegas this past week. Yep folks this was geriatric week! Every year I go on this trip with my Mom and her senior friends. We always stay at the same place so I know the layout pretty well. It's just funny watching older people act like 2 yr olds running around gleaming at machines.

The Downtown area where Binons casino, the poker capitol and championships are held is right across the street. We were NOT on the Strip where all the BIG casinos are. Just in case you don't know Vegas. Don't feel sorry for me, cause I go every year. Last year we went to the Grand Canyon. And usually we spend much of our time at the Venetian or the Bellagio.

Sorry... it's REALLY Not that kind of Good News. You could scold me for not taking the money and run. Yep, I played 1/2 my earnings back in that gulping machine. But that's ok. Cause I walked away with $100. For spending 4 days in Vegas, I consider that pretty good. There were so many people that went home with their pockets a bit lighter.

Now for the OTHER News...

Sorry.. I'm a bit tired here. So, I'll try to make it short and simple.

Mom wanted to do one of those get a FREE Show Pass dealies. Which meant we had to spend a whole day looking at some Timeshare. Not too bad after the 4th sales person tried to make us the DEAL of a Lifetime! Don't do it folks... means spending $8,000. a year for 4 years for a room you'll ONLY get for 2 weeks out of a year. That is... if you can book it two years in advance. Right!!!!

ITS A SCAM!

That's such NOT bad news... well, we went to the show at the Rivera Hotel (Splash). Watched the PG-13 show because we were early and had one of my mother's friends with us who is older than her. She get's tried easily. Then we went to dinner in the hotel.

Basically, I had a pretty boring weekend in Vegas. Believe me... whatever is in Vegas that's suppoosed to stay there, I guess it did. Cause they're talking bout your Money!

I know that this was my holiday vacation, guess I was just glad to get away from it all. Every once in awhile, I'd go run and hide somewhere and smoke a cig. This was my Big Escape! Cause those little ole church ladies that I told you about were spying on me. Yep! I can hear it now... I saw your daughter SMOKING! Geesh! It is ridiculous that they don't have anything better to do.

We got home safely after I flirted with one of the security guards.. OMG Tall Dark.. and gorgeous living in Vegas... dagnabbit. Got home and had to go to class. Woopie! Back to reality. Somehow I caught one of those airline sore throats so I have a little cough. So I decided to stay home for that Performance History Class. Good for me, cause I just found out it was the last class and I don't have to deal with those "People" anymore for the rest of the school year.

Class tonight, they loved my art show, wrote some new dialog for the FairyGodMum Show, and did tons of research for the color, light, motion theory. And now I'm pooped out. Happy Thanksgiving with a BIG Hugz n Lub, Bebe da FairyGodMum
