What happens in Vegas can please stay in vegas!
Things I learned about myself while learning about Las Vegas;
1. I am still Asthmatic. After being inhaler or incident free for over eight years, I went to the smoke filled streets and hotels of Vegas and came home with my very own new inhaler. I love AZ laws preventing it around and inside buildings!
2. I still have no desire to gamble, and didn't even gamble one quarter while there, some associates were not so lucky.
3. I am still attractive enough to warrant some pretty funny pick up lines, and in Vegas it is appropriate to utter them anywhere at all. In line at a childrens book store, going opposite directions on an escalator, and even while shopping for cold remedies.
4. I really do love what I do for a living and there are others out there just like me-look out world!
5. Without trying to you can see just as many naked rear ends in Vegas as you can working for two years as a nurse in a hospital, and after working at a hospital I have no desire to ever again see another naked rear end! (with only one notable exception)
6. I am an old woman in a young womans body. I found this out at the exact moment several other people did, after finding me vastly excited by Baumans Rare Book dealers inventory, and walking through the antique stores in the Venetian in awe I had no desire to witness a fire works display outside at Treasure Island.
7. Gelato is just a word for really good ice cream, and I like ice cream.
8. my elderly status was reconfirmed when a street salesman/urchin asked if I was married because he posessed deals for married couples. When I said I wasn't interested in a discount dinner for two because my hubby was at home he slyly said "We also promote a swingers club" to which I ignorantly responded "Well, I like swing dancing, but if I were going to do it, it would only be with my husband" to which several of my female associates laughed roaringly and teased me for the next two days-along with my husband.
9. Now that I know what number 8 is, the answer would remain the same.
10. I learned that no matter how much I do not like the desert, I love many of the laws of this place, and that no matter how dirty this place can seem at times the worst it has to offer may be the best someplace else has to offer.
11. I learned that I do not like being away from my family, but I can be if needs be.
12. I reaffirmed my love not only for my family, but my love of soups. I got the recipe for the most wonderful tomato bisque I have ever eaten in my entire life. I can't wait to make it.
13. I learned that a cold, plus smoke inhalation, plus stress equals pneumonia.
14. I learned that you never take a snowglobe home in your carry on..stupid I know.
15. I learned that I may be married to the greatest man who ever lived, and one who took care of a very sick baby and middle child while I was gone. Even giving alternate doses of tylenol and motrin every three hours around the clock, and rocking little ones to sleep for six days until I returned. He even took them to the urgent care and Dr.office for follow ups and remembered their illnesses, the meds given, and birth dates. He really is my hero, and now he is theirs as well.
16. I learned that even though I love to travel, as Dorothy said "There is no place like home!"
