So yes, I did get a vacation, which was well deserved after the grueling three days prior to it.

I went to Vegas, WoodTurnerD was going to a class anyway, so I jumped on his hotel room dime.  I had a fun time, but realized it wasn’t nearly long enough and I must, must, MUST win the Lotto so I can be independently wealthy.

We drove out Sunday afternoon, we took the car with A/C and I crocheted all the way while listening to the story-telling styles of David Sedaris.  Yeah, I like books on tape in the car, especially his – it reminds me of sitting around with my friends and family and shooting the breeze, swapping stories.

Sunday night we went to see Bite, which was pretty decent, they have aerialists that perform over part of the crowd – so that’s pretty cool and it was set to rock music, which was fabulous.  Plus the set had a nude demon woman with a screaming face for a vajay-jay, and you just can’t beat that.  Yes, I did get duped by the audience plants, a “really drunk guy” was pulled on stage….all I could think of was Faire and how dealing with drunk people is both perversely funny and difficult.

I had WoodTurnerD bring his PS3, so I was able to watch DVDs and BlueRay format disks in my room.  I watched TrueBlood Season 1 with him and season 3 alone, because he’s not caught up.  Although I can pretty well summarize things and I kind of act it out a bit because, well, I’m like that.

I did spend some time near the pool, minty mojito-like vodka drink in one hand, soda water in the other and in between a book.  Kicking back in my Victorian style swim-suit and hiding under an umbrella, I managed to cook in the heat but stay out of the sun.

And yes, I did  drop money into a machine, a whopping three dollars in video poker while I sat at the bar and listened to the only Mexican bartender I’ve heard of that doesn’t drink tequila and finishing up my book. 

The book, yeah, I’m reading the Sookie Stackhouse books, they’re utter trashy entertainment, mind-candy, and I can tear through them quickly.  I’m so used to reading for information, that I forget just how great it is reading for entertainment.

Drove home Wednesday night, I had to work Thursday, apparently I was missed.  I managed to log-in occasionally from my hotel, but I only did a few hours of work while I was watching T.V. and sitting in bed in my P.J.s – I should always telecommute.
