Happy Birthday to meeeeee……

Today is my birthday so I am going to exercise my right to be a brat and not post anything. Well – anything of any stamping importance anyhow…….

G’pa is still in the hospital. My 3 yo woke up with a 102.4 fever….there went my grand plans of a fancy IHOP breakfast. Waiting to see if he starts feeling a little better before I continue to plan on and crave Cheesecake Factory for dinner – and a movie afterward. A real movie – in the theater – not on EOD…wow. SO far I have received some lovely cards, some perfume, a great new snoopy shirt, a gorgeous necklace charm (it’s a two part charm and my mom has the other half- how COOL!) SOCKS – (Mom – I’m sorry for making fun of you for not buying yourself new socks, hosiery and undergarments all the time when I was growing up – now I understand) and $$$ FOR STAMPS!!!!!!!

Tomorrow is my first ever guys class. I’ll have 6 or 7 guys here to stamp six cards for their wives – Valentines, Mothers Day, Birthday, Anniversary, Just because, and I’m sorry! I’m really excited but sooooo nervous!!! My DAD is even coming. Coolest thing is that at first I was a little worried that the other guys might give mine a hard time – but not one did!

Oh yeah, and for those of you that know that I live in Vegas (and you all do now I guess) here’a answers to any FAQs that y’all might care to know (or not) about our "experience" with the Monte Carlo fire. My Hubby was not at work – he was out buying me socks. My FIL called me to tell me – he is in charge of security at MGM right across the street from the Monte Carlo. He was in the very bad Hilton fire here years ago….My bro (who also works MGM security) wouldn’t answer the phone – hmmmm wonder why? hee hee . My neighbor is out of work for 3 weeks while the casino is closed. I could easily see the large plumes of smoke from my bedroom window. Yahoo maps says I am 7.12 miles from the Monte Carlo or 11 minutes drive time.( HA! They obviously don’t take into account our stinky traffic in this town. Maybe at like 2 am on a Tuesday night…..) And my hubby may have the opportunity to pick up some overtime due to all of this. THat would be cool. Oh yeah – I have never been inside the Monte Carlo – I’ve heard it’s beautiful – My Mom and step dad stayed there about 3 years ago – if that counts for anything.
