Vegas

So, next year my dad's side of the family is having a 25-year "anniversary" trip to Las Vegas, seeing as how they did a trip there in 1982 and it'll be 25 years in 2007. I say "they" because I was left at home with my maternal grandparents while mom and dad went without me. Luckily, all of us get to go in 2007, so I've already begun counting down the weeks until this trip occurs. We even have a theme: "Keeping the Dream Alive." Did I mention we're all so very funny?
Anyhoo...seeing as how everyone who knows me knows that I want to run off and get married instead of doing the church thing, I have decided maybe I need to get married while on this trip next year. That way it'd be easy to get the fam there--I'd have to work on the other side--and what friends wouldn't love to come to Vegas for the weekend? So...now that I have given that some thought (and by thought, I mean I came to this conclusion after about 5 minutes), now all I have to do is meet Mr. Right and the plan will be complete! I'll keep you posted on my progress. --e

For all the Scottish lovers out there...

Q: What does a Scotsman wear under his kilt?

A: Lipstick, if he's lucky.


Oh, how I love that Scottish humour!

big move

well, I decided to dive head-first into debt, and I'm moving into a townhome next week! Having money is just not worth it...I actually close on St. Patrick's Day--maybe that's a good luck sign. I haven't had much good luck lately--in case you didn't know, I did NOT win the big Powerball jackpot, which I had really been hoping for--so this might be just what the doctor ordered! I'm looking for a roommate, though, so if anyone wants to live w/ me, the original party queen, at CR 11 and 35E in Burnsville (hot, I know), holla at your girl. That would be me. You know where to find me. Peace!

Very sad day...

A part of my heart died yesterday when, at age 45, one of my sports heroes died. Kirby Puckett died from complications due to a stroke that he suffered on Sunday. Kirby made some bad choices (roaming hands...), but I will always remember him for Game 6 of the 1991 World Series, and for his handshake with Al Neuman. What a loss!
