Leaving Las Vegas but still miles and miles to go

Whew – typing as I travel down I-10. About 30 miles out on Sunday night from Tucson. Got caught in a traffic gridlock – sat still for about 30 minutes and contemplated how big my bladder could really stretch. Of course going into the dark desert with truckers and others just sitting there and who knows what kinda snakes, bugs, scorpions etc made me go zen and make it until we started moving again.

Well Vegas was cool and crapped – and not the dice game. My three sisters were pissy with each other coming into this trip – mainly two – well Hurray now all three pissy with each other including the sister that seems to tolerate everything and tries to play peacemaker.

Of course she is about 7 months pregnant and damn and whoo wheeeee the hormone monster bitch came out in Vegas – I even told her off once – whew – and of course I am sharing the hotel room with them and get caught at 3:30 in the morning in a major fight between her and her husband – that was oh so fun lying in dark listening to them go at it – made me appreciate my divorce and other interests oh so much more!!!!!!!!!!!

Speaking of that – working on the big D – getting tired so agreed to let John file the papers and thus the IR charges against me… just not worth it – let it be done so he can marry Dorothy and have the son with her he wants……

Ended up last night watching my one sister's kids for a few hours so she and boyfriend could go to dinner. Then other two sisters and I went to Freemont Street – THAT WAS COOL!!!!!!!!!

Live music on both ends, casinos, bars, the entire area covered and every 30 minutes a laser picture light show – except for heat it was awesome - will go there again

My bottom braces broke some - the wire slipped out or something on the one end - gotta try to schedule an emergency appointment for that as I try to twist tie my mouth together to get me back to NJ - lol

Anyhoo once we got back to hotel one sister and boyfriend left to go to clubs (they got in at 5:30am whee haw) and because other sister in pissy mood with husband I went to the casino in the hotel we were staying in. I wandered into the bar lounge and caught the last set of these lounge singers.

This guy and woman. They had great voices and were funny but they were lounge singers all the way.

It was surreal – our hotel was not a fancy big one – it is the Westward Ho and pretty cheap. So I sit in front of the about half full lounge. The guy played the guitar, she the small electric synthesizer and they had a laptop karaoke machine providing the main song – they just sung and occasionally played their instruments.

Well from Brickhouse, to Margaritaville to Santana. They played some pretty good songs. Meanwhile there was a wedding party there and some of the ladies – two women got up and were putting on a bump and grind show egged on by the crowd and the drinks they were drinking – lol

Then two others got up and of course a few people rotated in and out. Some guys even tried to separate the two, but the one had an attitude and like pushed them away to keep dancing - lol - she just wanted to dance.

People were having fun and I was laughing my butt off.

Plus the two singers did comedy too and were funny. Then someone requested Tom Jones and the singer goes "I am not wearing tight enough pants and I am Mexican, come on....." So for the song he gets out this mega spotlight flashlight and goes around the audience flashing guys crotches and doing "Are you Tom Jones worthy or not worthy?" – lol

Then the last song was Tina Turner request – so they did Proud Mary – the woman singer comes out in a tina wig and starts going around the room getting people to sing – like I said surrealllllllllll.

I like live music and appreciate the small acts like that as much as the headliners – those two put on shows 5 days a week – 4 hours each day – let me see some of the priss headliners do that.......

Anyhoo – Vegas was fun and very frustrating – Monday fly out to San Diego and then to Philly to go home for a bit – but still lots of work waiting for me.
