Vegas, Bitches!
In a few short hours, the venerable R and I will be engaged in a high stakes game of standby roulette en route to Sin City. With a little luck and the grace of the travel gods, we will be drinking in Vegas by the time you put your head on your pillow tonight. You know you’re jealous!
I will be entirely too busy laying by the pool during the day and causing trouble at night to post here.
Last night, while I was packing, I tried to remember the last time I had a real vacation. A going somewhere just because not seeing family not camping not a long distance date not a business trip longer than a long weekend vacation. I believe it was the beach trip of 2007.
Not only is this my first vacation in three years, and not only am I traveling with a bestie, but I am unbelievably over the moon heart aflutter excited to be meeting some absolutely fabulous faces whose hearts I already know.
This trip could not come at a better time. I need an escape. I need a distraction. I need a new point of travel reference that doesn’t include a big ol’ mystery that still haunts me at three in the morning. I need to not be a waswife, an employee, a homeowner, a excrazyfacesomethingorother, I need to not be Catherine for a little while. I need to spend a few days being a verybadcat.
Can you think of a better place to accomplish all of those things?
I can’t.
(many thanks to the illustrious B, who is so mired in sandal-searching, housekey-keeping, kitteh-foster-mom’ing and airport shuttling that she will probably be the happiest bestie of the three of us when our plane takes off…)

Ordinarily I’m pretty hypersensitive to touching, so hugging is usually awkward. But I am totally going to throw my arms around you when I find you. Blogger meetups means the hearts precede the people!

So wish I was one of those twenty somethings and could have let loose and partied it up.
I love Vegas – and I think I would swoon to meet some of these peeps too, although being my age and swooning over Maxie and Ben might be a bit much!
