BATGIRL TIMES 2

Today Ivy and I went through the costume barrel for Halloween costumes. Ivy decided she wanted to be Batgirl.
Then I recalled Shea was Batgirl 6 years ago.

Ivy turned down the purple caped crusader for the masculine version.
This is so descript of my two daughters. Shea the Diva. Ivy for Real.
Stayed tuned for the conclusion of my findings.

I've found a cure for the common cold...

Vegas Baby!

Rusty had a conference in Las Vegas and it fell amidst our birthdays so I flew out to join him for a couple of days. Neither of us were impressed with Vegas the last time we visited 14 years ago so we just looked forward to spending time with each other. However, this time I did find a few redeeming qualities in Sin City though...

The Temple of which I was in tears because it was such a welcome relief from mortal realms.

Running the Strip because it was the only time of day where there is a calm before the stampede of people all day and into the night.

Unicyclist in hot pants at Circus Circus who was fabulously funny compared to the cheesy and seriously S-T-U-P-I-D Sirens of TI.

Lion Habitat at MGM where the Lions came right up to the window to eat and the lioness ate right out of the trainer's hand like a kitten.

Freemont Street because it was MY Woodstock with Viva Vision (Did ya' see the olympics), 80s music, & lots of happy people. A meth/crack addict even got Rusty to 'bust a move' with her. It was great!

And we didn't have to pay a cent to experience these shows. ;o)

TAGGED

Okay LORA...here we go. ;o)
1. I was voted wittiest in my senior class. I don't believe I was funny, but I do believe I was: spaztic, clumsy, and an airhead.

2. I broke my leg when I was 6 and was laid up in traction for SIX WEEKS! No cast just traction, THEN crutches for like 6 MORE weeks! Great memories....

3. I'm a granola girl. I love the simplicity of nature and would not mind a bit living there. Mountain house over beach house baby.....

4. I have a phone phobia.

5. I get bored with my life and relish best in change. The learning curve is my friend.

6. I'm retarded...I do things slower than most people (I think I have trouble focusing...is that ADD?)

7. I miss my "environmental terrorists" aka goats (kinda') & chickens.

Tag Sarah Y, Katy (welcome aboard...I saved Tracy and Stella for you ;o)), Maci, Joele (tell Jeni to get blogging), Sara S, Tori, Angie
