I’m headed off with all three of my kids in a few minutes for sunny SUNNY hot Las Vegas for the weekend.  I have my advocacy class, the kids are visiting their father (Adrienne and Nick) and grandparents (Ruby.) I’m not looking forward to that sunny SUNNY hot part. But I am glad I get the opportunity to look for some appropriate clothing for the conference.

At the moment I’m printing out the balance of Devil You Don’t that I didn’t get a chance to do a final polish on yet. I’ll take it with me, since I’ll be spending a lot of time in a hotel by myself. By the time I pay for my spur of the moment trip to San Francisco, I don’t have much in the budget for Las Vegas. I’ll probably see a movie (a huge luxury, since our only theater has one screen, is 100 years old, and plays one movie every two or three weeks. Usually a kids movie. They had Kung Fu Panda for most of June!) But otherwise, I plan on using the time constructively. You know, besides scouring the thrifts, praying that someone my size has donated a dress appropriate for something called a ‘Gala.’

So–I’ll talk to ya’ll on Sunday. Have a fantastic weekend!
