It's Vegas Time Baby!

And I tell you what... I actually cannot wait. Although I will miss Mr. Wonderful Stefano terribly and will feel sad not sleeping in his arms this weekend!!! But he's coming over tonight to shoot me up w/his wonderfulness so I can head out West tomorrow, happy and sasstisfied.

I am sooo grateful that Leo called off rehearsal last night. I really needed time to finish up some last-minute travel prep errands. It's been 4 yrs. since I flew last (March 2005 to NY to see a Levon Ramble) and I am totally out of practice. But I've read some articles about flying in ease and comfort these days so I think I'm well-prepared. I needed a tiny wallet/coin purse type thing to stick in my small travel purse and I found a great one at Target. I also decided to buy a black pashmina/shawl thing for when I get cold on the plane b/c Vegas weather right now is exactly how it is here in Houston--80/60--so a jacket or sweater is just gonna be overkill. Target didn't have any good shawls so I went to Ross and found one, plus found 5 new wonderful dresses! I want to plan my flying clothes differently than I have in the past. I have always worn my overalls while flying b/c they're comfy, have pockets, and make me look like a poor college student or some such thing. Well now that I'm older and have matching luggage, I don't think I could or even should be attempting to pull that look off anymore. I'm pushing 40 y'all. So I decided that leggings are the way to go now. Or a dress w/tights, at least on the flight back when I'll be arriving in familiar/comfortable territory. Anyway, I'm set now w/lots of cute outfits!!!

So Tito J. and I will probably be taking advantage of this deal for eating on Saturday at our hotel. Holy anti-Slimagineering!!! Shit, it appears my plans for Saturday are shaping up to be:
  1. Sleep late
  2. Buffet Meal 1
  3. Pool/reading/getting drunk
  4. Buffet Meal 2
  5. Roller coaster at NY/NY (by request of Tito J)
  6. Getting drunk/walking around
Repeat 1-4 on Sunday! Sunday Tito J. is leaving early so after he splits I plan to just relax in the room or actually I might take in a movie and go see Hot Tub Time Machine. Vegas is actually where I saw Friday Night Lights back in '04. I took off from the guys and wanted to spend some time by myself (I think they were annoying me if I recall correctly) and it was nice to see that awesome movie and just get away. I fly back on the red-eye that night/Mon. morn. and am planning on getting back into Stefano's loving arms as soon as he gets off work!
