LUCKY VEGAS: Blog Birthday Bonanza Announcement!

WE ARE SAFELY IN VEGAS! 

Our travel went off flawlessly yesterday! What a delight to have every piece of the puzzle unfold with ease! We arrived at the Venetian/Palazzo Complex to be greeted by accordion music and jesters in costumes. Welcome back. This is my husband Allen's first experience here in the palatial setting and he it genuinely amazed at how much this LOOKS like our time together in Venice, Italy. 

I am sooooooooooo excited about my keynote tomorrow which grows ever nearer, by the hour. 

Note-to-self: a three hour and 18 minute plane flight is EXACTLY the time it takes to hem two vest arm openings by hand. 

The difference between men and women. 

I sat between two men for 3 hours and 18 minutes ++ 

and neither of them once asked me what on earth I was doing, nor why. 

You know if I was next to a women we would have talked for three hours about this project! 

{Hubby lucked out and got the last exit row seat. I deferred to his comfort.}

Our DIVA suite has a fainting couch. 

Today's assignment was to iron everything and get it all organized. 

The only remaining question: 

WHICH TIGHTS DO I WEAR? 

Stripes or Polka Dots????

There's a raging debate underway already on my FB  my FB fanpage and instagram,

but it appears that we have a front runner!
