68 days and Counting

It is official-
I got the time off that I requested- A little over 2 months and I am on a plane heading to VEGAS!!!- Yeehaawww- While my boss was signing the official 'time off request' paperwork he told me to have fun- I promised I would stay out of trouble with a sly smirk on my face- A double YEEHAAWWWW- Now I just have to cut all carbs from my diet and begin to exercise again- Can't walk all over Las Vegas with a really bad knee- But maybe I could find a Lark to rent........Saratee says "always have a back up plan"

Girlz Night IN




I invited my best gal pal Anne, over for some girl time recently- I used to see her like 3 times a week and with our busy schedules it sadly has been dwindled down to once a month- So on a very cold Saturday night she came over and we ordered our favorite take out from Pad Thai (ymm) and opened up a bottle of Pinot Grigio and I surprised her with the most beautiful award winning deserts, and we lit a fire in the fireplace and then we sat down to bead jewelery all night long while watching season one of 'The Office'- A very good night of laughter and excellent food with best friends- Time well spent!!

What Does it Mean When You CRAVE Things You Have NEVER Liked Before?

I have recently noticed I am craving things that I have never liked before. There is an unusual trend being unearthed here. A few entries back I said I was planning a trip to Vegas- I have never wanted to go to Vegas before- I had opportunities in the past and have always passed. Another recent craving, GAMBLING- I am not a gambler- I work too hard earning my money I don't want to toss it away- Okay a few dollars in the nickel slots have never hurt my life savings but I get bored relatively FAST- But recently I have been feeling really lucky and apparently I feel the need to cash in on my luck- I have also been craving going Down Hill Skiing- I have the need for speed and adrenaline pulsing through my veins- I have gone down hill skiing once in my life and that was in the 9th grade- My best friend got skis for Christmas and she dragged me to a local ski hill- How did it go, you ask? Let's say I have never been back (I didn't know you had to ski side to side- I just went straight down the hill- Hell Bound) And lastly, I have been craving SHRIMP- I have never liked seafood- Yes, I have tried seafood but no thanks- But every magazine I pick up, in the recipe section, they are showing mouth watering, savory golden grilled Shrimp- Oooh it looks soo good- Then recently, I went out to dinner with my parents and the menu had a photo of the steak and shrimp meal- It looked sooo good- My dad even gave me a shrimp off his plate for me to taste- Yep, I still don't like shrimp- What does this all mean??- Why do you crave things you know you don't even like???

My Christmas Gift to Myself Came in the Mail

In the past years I have always given myself permission to purchase a large ticket item for myself for Christmas. This year I passed on that tradition because I thought I would be spending A WHOLE LOTTA money on myself by buying a home, or an igloo, or a teepee, or a tree fort, or a fairy house- But I have decided to put buying a home on the back burner- Or- Unless the interest rates drop, which they won't- Even though it would be a very good investment and a wonderful "grown up" act for me- I realized after talking to many "one income" home owners, that those once $30+ splurges of any kind (pedicure, lavish dinner out, impulse buy of any kind) don't get "splurged on" it goes straight into your home- I thought what about my spontaneous ideas of getting on a plane and touring one of our fine lower 48 states- What about those $90 boots that I want so desperately-What about that cute, adorable, easy to clip on while I am running (more like walking) little iPod Shuffle that I want too- I decided being a renter would be better for me right now- I have some plans up my sleeves and I need to SAVE all the MULLA I get my little hands on- But not to disappoint you, I did buy myself a little Christmas gift- It came in the mail yesterday- I ordered my favorite movie and soundtrack from Amazon.com- I have the VHS but wanted to get it on DVD (planning on weeding out all my vhs's) And I wanted some French music- I got the movie Amelie- Ooh lalahh- This movie has actually turned into my Muse'- I turn it on for background noise and I am so creative and inspired- I finish my project withing hours rather than months- Amelie, she is my Muse

Planning Ahead for Playing Hard!!
















It is almost official- By almost, I mean it is just one of the best ideas ever- I have been at my job one year and with that anniversary I get One Week PAID Vacation- I will be celebrating my 35th Birthday in SIN CITY ssst..sssst (the sound of sizzling)

Vegas Baby!

My Sugar Daddy & I have been discussing a small 4 day trip to Vegas to shake off the winter BLAHHHSss- Three days in Vegas would be long enough for me- I haven't been and actually I have never wanted to go to Vegas- He has been more than a few times and is always looking for a chance to get there- I don't care about the Entertainment or Glitzy Shows unless it is a upscale strip joint- It is really all about gambling and swanky heated pools with drink service by cabana boys and PEOPLE WATCHING- It has been such a mild winter that my original plan of escaping the usually cold harsh winter of Minnesota in February or March had me thinking "do I need to escape this lovely winter?"- But after checking out some tourist websites, I realized the first week in April would be a little cheaper and bonus I can celebrate the Half of my Life in Vegas- When you spend a year working hard like I have- Then you get to Play Hard like I will be doing-
