Each decade was memorable....30---a pair of diamond earrings.....40--a trip to Germany....50---playing sax in a blues band in a St. Louis Blues Club and everyone in the club there to celebrate my birthday......60--a Bahama cruise with my daughter, drinking rum punch and doing the Limbo....Can we top this...Wait a minute! I'm not ready to celebrate another decade!!!! This is just another birthday in between the milestones. Why not just a wild, crazy week-end with my BFG's...Julie and Christi?......Soooooo...Christi and I talked for 3 hours on the phone today and tossed a few ideas around for the BIG BASH. Why is money even involved? Girls just wanna have fun, you know. But three people coming from 3 locations involves air fare, hotels, etc. Of course there is also the limo, the casinos, the restaurants, room service, need I go on? We discussed the casino at Niagra Falls, the southern hospitality of Tunica, Mississippi casinos, and neighboring Memphis, Tennessee; and Boston, New York, and the 2nd largest casino in the world: Foxwoods in Connecticut. Whoo,Whee...Shake the money tree honey, cause I'm too old to shake my money maker. Viva Las Vegas! Why didn't we even consider it? I had a little chat with "Captain Kirk" on Priceline and now we're dating. What a guy! 3 nights and roundtrip airfair to the MGM Grande Tower Suites for $500 apiece...Just bring your jukebox money!!! This B-day holiday is nearly 6 months away but with stilettos to buy and nails to do, you just can't procrastinate. This gives me a delicious distraction from every bell ringing group and girl scout troop who wants to come to Micro-World this month and entertain us. Good God!! Eleven different groups are coming in the next 20 days to perform Christmas programs for us. Bless their little hearts and bon voyage. I'm leaving in 6 days to board a cruise ship bound for the caribbean. You've got to take the holidays with a grain of salt and I've found out that it helps to accompany that with a little tequilla and lime. See you in Margarita Ville! I think I spelled that wrong, but I'm sure you understand.
Christmas was wonderful with 4 precious children anxiously waiting for Santa, a fire in the fireplace, presents to hide, goodies to bake, Christmas pagents at church, and programs at school. Now it's octogenarians creeping with walkers, fighting at Bingo, and nodding off during the weekly movie & popcorn night. I'm not cynical...I just need to escape during the holidays so it IS a holiday, and not just another day in the "Night of the Living Dead". I'm not poking fun or being mean, it's just that way here in Micro-World. So , the planning and plotting of escapes continue.......ideas welcome
LMAO
ReplyDeleteOk first of all, you are not too old to shake your "money maker" I saw you shaking your money maker as you were going under the limbo pole on your 60th birthday a couple of years ago.
Secondly, you need to end the relationship with Captian Kirk but not before you get us the best possible rates. You know how I feel about cheating and I will tell your husband.
Vegas? Vegas? Why did we not come up with that in 3 hours??? In Vegas there are people to watch booty shakin dance clubs to go to and the possibility of striking it rich or at least finding someone to buy everything for us. Well since you and I are taken we need to spruce Julie up and get her ready to get us a free ride in paradise.
BTW my vote for Vegas is a YES!!! I am stuffing some more cash in my piggy bank right now.....
