WHIVSIV*

Hello- I am back from Viva Las Vegas. Ann and I had a really good time but I am dragging�I can never sleep late when I am there because of the time change. I broke even and came home with about $10 left and no trips to the Tyme machine while I was there so life is good. I can�t wait to go back in Sept for Shannie�s bacherlorette party, it should be a kick ass good time.

It was a quick trip, and the weather rocked. I did learn a few things which I will share with you� a pretty normal looking, not totally skanky hooker is $200, and that is for the whole enchilada if ya know what I mean. Who knew�I thought it would be a little pricier. If you check in to your hotel at 2:00 in the morning and bat your baby blues (or green in Ann's case) a little, you can get upgraded to a 2 story penthouse suite with a balcony overlooking the strip. Driving in Las Vegas blows�never rent a car unless you have to. My FSU (former spousal unit) and I rented cars a lot of the time in Vegas and I guess I never drove. I can hop in a car and drive anywhere, and I do it all the time for work but it�s a pain to have a car there. I also saw a guy buy 300 shots-enough for the whole bar. They were not so tasty but they were free, it was pretty cool. When I get the pic back, I�ll post it. Otherwise, the trip was a good �ol Vegas time. (sorry, can�t divulge all my secrets�see title of today�s blog). A former co-worker was there at the same time and I thought we were going to meet up for drinks, we were staying at the same hotel Sunday but he never called me back. (see #8 below). That is annoying. Um--I don�t want to spend the weekend together, just thought it would be fun to meet for a couple drinks. Goof.

I am in New York Wed-Friday for work so this is about all the blogging you will get from me this week. Sorry kiddies, a girl�s got to put shoes on the table. Or is it bread? I like shoes better. Anyway, I ran across a list I had started a while ago of 100 things about me and some of them were different. So, you are LUCKY enough to get to read them (or not�it�s a free world).

I am so pissed at Gwyneth-she took my favorite girl�s name (NOT!) Apple? That is a great choice. Next week, I will have to post some of the baby names that I have run across � when I am researching hospitals to cold call, if they have online nurseries, I usually take a look and there are some whoppers. MC did meet someone who had a little girl named Scarlett O�Meara. Neat. Maybe she should name her next baby Sarah Jessica Barker. (I am serious. I think that the middle name is PERFECT).
