I'm Back

Yes, it's me, and I'm back from my adventure out West.

Feckin' United put my luggage on the wrong G**D*** plane. Bastards. So I have no luggage to unpack at the moment.

I also hate O'Hare with the red hot passion of a million burning suns.

BUT! The trip to Reno was a lot of fun. Yes, I gambled - the slots - and yes, I won. And yes, I turned around and lost it all in the slots. Husband played Blackjack and doubled his money. For some reason the movie "Casino" kept going through my mind.

We also saw Mr. Bill Cosby. It was awesome.

We ventured into CA as far as Nevada City. I told Husband I was getting a creepy Liberal vibe...and then I saw "Impeach Bush" and "Free Palestine" bumperstickers. We got the hell out of there.

I drank too many gin and tonics last night (you know, the free ones you get when you gamble) but didn't have a hangover today.

Yep, toured Virginia City, Lake Tahoe...found the Cal-Neva. For a Sinatra fan like me, that was a HUGE deal.

I have concluded that I do not, in fact, like the desert. I got a sunburn on my right arm...through the car window!

I overdosed on pimple cream and looked like a snake. Nerves about the trip combined with the consequences of my gender made me a pimple faced geek.

But! I did get out there and back by myself. DFW isn't that bad...but damn you to hell O'Hare! DAMN YOU TO HELL!

I took very few pictures. I left that to Husband...who had to then videotape and narrate every damn place we went.

Okay. I need to get the younglings to bed and get something to eat.
