"Naughty Forty" Here I Am!

Well, as of yesterday, I am officially forty years old. I don't think I am necessarily feeling different, but I have the hint that I might be thinking differently. Is that too vague?

Anyway. The Boy and I went to Las Vegas for the weekend, my first introduction to the all time favorite Adult American pastime of the Vegas experience. It was fun. We saw two amazing Cirque Du Soliel shows ("Ka" and "O"), saw the Mapplethorpe and Ansel Adams exhibitions, ate some great meals (buffet at Paris is a fave), roamed the strip and numerous casino floors, saw the lions at MGM, the amazing fountain at Bellagio, the throngs of folks on the strip itself. Oh the humanity!

We stayed in the home of friends who live very near the strip, and slept in their amazingly comfy guest room. We rented a PT Cruiser, and were out until 1 AM both nights.

The shopping was incredible - every designer store I have ever heard of - although we did not indulge our shopping urges, just being in the middle of all that variety and available merchandise was more than enough.

I probably don't need to ever go back. Maybe with a group might be fun. But at least I can say I have been and done.

Back home Sunday afternoon and both of us falling into bed by 8:30 PM, to blissful sleep and snuggling.
