Viva Las Vegas

Sometimes you just have to say “Fuck it!”

I just did. And it feels fabulous.

I was given the opportunity to fly to Las Vegas this weekend. Hotel is already covered, I just have to get my butt down there.

I sat on the fence for 45 minutes doing the normal second guessing game. “No, I really shouldn’t.” “I don’t really have the extra money with Christmas around the corner.” “I really should stay at home and do chores that I’ve been putting off.” “No, it’s too last minute.”

“Stop that!”, said my crazy side.

So I booked the trip.

And here’s how I justified it. Who wants to die having passed up fun times with few hundred or thousand dollars in their pocket? Not me. I’d rather die breaking even and having a blast up until then.

Of course, this is under the assumption that I have Elle (my 10 year old daughter) financially covered in the event of my premature passing. And I do. So there, I am responsible!

I’ll share my adventures with you upon my return. xo

    YAY! I am disappointed that it took you 45 minutes to decide. Was reading 45 seconds. LOL. Go to Bon Ami Gabi for breakfast at the Paris. Sooo yummy. And Buchon in the Venezia Tower. *Sigh* Glad to know you made the right decision. Hugs!!

    Katarina: Hi love! Since I’ll only be there for 24 hours and I have a fondness for gambling, I may not leave the blackjack tables all night. But if I do, I will consider your suggestions. Hugs back!

    Erin: This is my second last minute trip in a month. I love it too. But I wrestle with logic and responsibilities every time. Then I realize, I don’t want to die bored. Just do it!
