During one of our nights in Vegas Adam and I were playing on a table, and were seated wtih a young 20something blonde, her late 40something companion, an Australian guy and a couple of other American guys.  Get this:

Dumb Blonde to Australian:  What’s your name?

Australian:  Paul

Dumb Blonde:  Oh, I thought you might have one of those Australian names.

Me:  (Hysterical laughter…there was no way in hell I was holding it back)

Adam:  (Nudges me under the table and gives me the look)

Dumb Blonde’s Companion:  (Looks at me, rolls his eyes and shakes his head)

I still suck at blogging, but I can do an update. 

Me:  I celebrate my b’day on Wednesday.  I’ll be in Vegas with my husband.

Adam:  Well, he’s wonderful.  He’s taking me to Vegas for my b’day, and told me that we have a much bigger gambling budget than last time.  Who can complain about that?

Stephen:  That’s him in the roller girl outfit. He graduates in December.  Already has a job producing the morning show at a Richmond radio station, and DJ’ing nights and weekends.  Broke up with his girlfriend of two years, and has a new one.  Buying his first new car this week.

Cristin:  Broke up with the boyfriend for the fourth time in a year.  Hopefully, this will be it.  I’m going to insist she stick to her guns, and not go back.  Can’t stand a girl that let’s a man control her life.  Did I not teach her anything?

Ethan:  Got his first school pictures (think he could look a little more serious?), celebrated Halloween, had his first parent-teacher conference.  His teacher is in love with him – the cutest kid in her class (she’s a mother of two grown boys so she’s just a little partial to the boys), loves his crazy laugh and said that his sense of humor is very grown up (apparently the two of them share inside jokes that no other kid in the class gets), called him her chatterbox, has him sitting next to her, says he’s doing perfect at everything and calls him her math whiz.  Can you believe it?  He’s in K and is doing multiplication already!  What the hell?
