it looks like i killed a poodle in the bathtub. i mean, i may be a girl in all sortsa ways, but as far as not shaving my legs since may or march or something, i had manly woman-hair on them leggies. it was not like normal shaving. the motions involved were rather more like hacking your way through the jungle with a machete.
but before this i … *gasp* … shopped. yes i did. i went to ross dress for less in the ‘womens’ department and i went all nutso with the ole debit card. i got two pairs of pants, and three shirts (two must be worn together, for appearance’s sake, the other is a standalone type shirt). both will go with each other, of course, i’m practical. so having dumped fifty whole dollars on two outfits, and decided that for better or worse my hair will have to remain unchanged, i am ready for vegas, baby.
and as a result, i now have a numerical value for the size of my ass. that would be eighteen. oy vey. that would be a whole new number for me, having been living in a pair of chris’s old sweats for however long, all summer. those things had some man size (xl?) and i didn’t really want to know how that translated into ladies wear. and now i know.
i work tomorrow. i pick up the pretty rentacar at five, i take it home and pack everything and get appropriate music for the road and other supplies. by seven pm i will be dropping off chris at the car place so he can have the buick, and hitting the highway. i have printed-out maps and many cell phone numbers.
i am prepared.
let’s GET IT ON!!!
oh yeah! i discovered that i don’t even need to up my car insurance, my gold visa debit card covers all rentacar stuff. i was gonna make my deductible smaller but why? i’m so covered!
it’s the little things like that that make for big happy.
Cell phone batteries. Water. Sunscreen, for darting between casinos. A camera, of course.
Oh man, you are going to have so much fun. Look out for the hoochies and their pimps in the Ceasar’s Palace mall (which has the best FAO Schwartz in any desert anywhere, and a cool Virgin store where they still carried Twin Peaks on vhs in 2000, even if the clerks didn’t know what that was).
Kiss the jackelopes for me. Oh and shave Hoopty.
i have also just setup two new subdomains at surreally.org and also copies of MT. just ’cause i’m goin’ on a three day toot, doesn’t mean i’m gonna be irresponsible to my hostees.
You guys are going to have to work pretty hard to out-photograph the DCbloggers. *giggle* One night more than half the group was snapping photos (we counted 30 digital cameras out at one point). The fun comes when you put up the albums and start charging each other a fee to take down certain photos. Ummm. Did I say that outloud?
Have fun and drive safely please.
have fun kd! (that was a very good read, btw!)
Have BIG fun! I can’t wait for the stories! And the pictures!
Kd,
I wanna see a picture of you holdin’ up a big fat check for winning a jackpot!!!
skarlet! I’m shocked! (Not so much at the blackmail, but that you’d let the cat out of the bag! Someone may have planned to recoup expenses that way!)
(chuckle)
Those of us that aren’t going to be there are going to be with you in spirit! Hoping for pix, and fingers are crossed that there are no car problems.
HAVE A GREAT TIME!!!
kd, enjoy it. And BTW, Ross dress for less is a pretty cool store!
Have fun, kd!

Am gonna go try and post my adventures in my blog. Let’s see if it’ll work out…

HOLY COW! Batty’s in Vegas! We’re all actually doing this! woo hoo! I gotta go see her blog. LOL
i hope the sunset doesn’t get in my eyes. wait. the sun rises in the east — i’ll have the sun at my back!
i have this recurring fantasy that they’ll be out of the car i reserved and they’ll have to upgrade me for free to like a convertible mustang. yeah, i’m the realistic sort.
