Random Musings III, Las Vegas Edition

Thank you, dear friends, for successfully praying for my renewed strength and health so that I was able to take a last minute (and nearly free) trip to Las Vegas with my husband. I'm still here, as I write, sitting in the conference room where the Major League Baseball Radio Rights Holders are meeting (the purpose of Rob's trip). The only place I can finagle free internet service.

In honor of this special occasion, here is a special, Las Vegas edition of Random Musings. Enjoy!

  • Little old Mexican women passing out advertisements for girly shows is particularly disturbing. Shouldn't they at least use the kind of women you're likely to see at the show?
  • The force of a flush in the Bellagio hotel room toilets is capable of taking away a small cat, dog, or child. Nearly gives me a heart attack every time I use it.
  • Smoking is everywhere in Las Vegas. That is soooo last century and incredibly annoying.
  • Even adults can't help playing with water being used as art. Myself included.
  • Yes, skirts can really be that short and heels that high. Have never seen anything like it. Just praying none of these women drops their purse, or it'll be sheer chaos.
  • It's not cool to spread ketchup on your chest and lay in your hotel room bed, faking death, just to scare the housekeeping staff.
  • Flying over the Grand Canyon is worth the entire trip.
  • Playing poker on your Blackberry is not the same as playing in a casino.
  • The only cross section of society I have not seen on the Strip are Catholic nuns.
  • After spending an obscene amount of money for a hand, foot, and scalp massage, I was caught with my ankles crossed and informed that I had been blocking the energy from flowing through my body. Excellent.
  • The freaks really do come out at night.
Here's a shout out to Sin City for giving me a wonderful chance to reconnect with my husband, sleep in an outstanding bed, eat tremendous food (in reasonable amounts), and catch up on my reading. I'm blessed!
