"Vegas Baby, Part II"


Even when you're on vacation life goes on! Thank god something has happened back home that grounds Chloe into her own reality. A baby! Not just any baby... a GRAND baby. It doesn't seem possible for us all to now be old enough to be grandparents. It really is weird to watch yourself grow older. One day you're footloose and fancy free, runnin' the streets, partying like it's 1999, and not really giving much thought to what it, you, will be like "someday". Then you happen to be watching tv and you run across a news cast on Farrah Fawcett or you see Joan Rivers yappin' about who's wearing what and you can't believe that's really them!! OMG!! So you grab a mirror, take a deep breath, and look closely at the face staring back at you. Who is she? Is that really me? When did the wrinkles start happening? Is that a gray hair?
Whoa!!! Let me get back on track. Not only did I get to blabbing, I was depressing myself. Chloe really is way excited for Rosie and Betty. She's more excited for you to get to know them and all of her friends. This trip to Vegas is a much needed vacation and one she wanted to share but there's no place like home...there's no place like home...she won't say it three times and tap her ruby red slippers. She has none, it would ruin her tomboy image and besides she loves the open road and crossing the Kansas state line on her bike!

Gray hairs!!! They seem to appear like freakin magic I'm finding. They're all over the place now - in my eyebrow, on my forearm...I'm much too alarmed to check the Y. What if I found a pattern of gray hairs shaped like the Blessed Virgin down there. Yikes! I wonder if selling views of such a thing would be considered pornography?

You should know we like pokin a little fun at the absurdities we see around us.
Well have a great week, and remember:
