Several Vegas Things

I've been collecting blog post topics faster than days are going by in Las Vegas, so it's time for a topic buffet. 

I can't find my husband:  He made a mistake and didn't pack enough shirts. When we got here he got a new shirt and decided to wear it the next day. It wasn't until we got into the casino that I realized how much I rely on not only his personal appearance, but the familiarity of his clothes to visually spot him. It took me most of the day to add his new shirt to my overall mental image of him. 

Elevator Talk:  Sometimes people don't realize other people can hear what they say. I was in an elevator yesterday with two other women. They were trying to decide what to do when one woman said to the other, "how important is sexual dysfunction and osteoporosis anyway?"  I hope they were talking about seminar topics at a conference, but at that point they got off the elevator, so I may never know. 

The thing about roulette: is getting out with what you wcame in with. I don't expect to win at gambling. I have confidence I'll lose over time. But to join a roulette table, you need to start with a reasonable amount of money. Then, usually, you don't win anything for a number of spins.  When I do win, it's not uncommon for me to cash out and walk away from the table, relieved that I didn't lose it all. 

Bring your cash with you:  I got cash for my expenses while in Las Vegas before I left. I saw someone this morning who wanted to get $60 out of the ATM only to find there was a $5.95 surcharge on the transaction. That's steep. 

We don't have stairs:  there are elevator problems in our hotel due to a high volume of visitors this weekend. We are on the 52nd floor. I wanted to go to another floor to see the pool and and the spa/workout facilities. When I asked, the elevator attendant told me, "we don't have stairs".  The hell they don't; it's a fire requirement.  Oh, yes they do, she tells me, only we can't use them. We can only go in and go down to the ground level and the. There is some issue with exiting.   In the meantime, I can wait long periods of time to go one floor up to get to the pool because there are no stairs.  

The Big Boy Update:  Did I mention that my son’s hair lightened after her was born?  It was much darker tha. It is now. It's also not the color of my husband or my hair either. 

The Tiny Girl Chronicles:  Her hair is darkening. It's got pigment now and I think it will continue to get darker as she gets older. It's also not the color my husband or I have ever had as hair either.
