HOME
Made it home.
Last night was fun, hanging out with my imaginary friends. AWTM and I were the last ones standing. She is a chatty drunk, stopping numerous times along the way home to tell random passersby to beware of the porn peddlers on the strip. And to tell several casino security guards they look like Reno 911.
Also, note to self: never drink rum & coke, wine, beers, amaretto sour, and gin & tonic all in the same night. And then get on a plane the next morning. After four hours of sleep.
But my drinking days are over, and they sure went out with a bang last night! I start fertility treatments in the morning.

Wow! Tomorrow! Good luck! And way to cure your urge to drink any alcohol for quite some time. Nice mix, I must say.

Welcome back!
I appreciated AWTM's liveblogging reports, but I'd like to hear your take on what happened.
Good luck tomorrow!

The secret is: if you start out drinking rum & coke, wine, beers, amaretto sour, and gin & tonic, you have to stick with rum & coke, wine, beers, amaretto sour, and gin & tonic - changing to something else is risky.
Great to meet you at last!

HAVING FUN DOING NOTHING AT ALL
Either AWTM has been
exaggerating her insomnia, or we've discovered the cure: gin and tonic.
Last night I got into Vegas and, after an annoying mix-up and no one calling me back to let me know where to meet them, I ended up just going to bed. AWTM rolled in in the middle of the night and fell asleep the instant her head hit the pillow.
I, on the other hand, only slept from midnight to 2:00 and then 5:00-7:00. Not good. The time change threw me all off.
As does the fact that I'm in the desert and my lips feel like they're going to shrivel and fall off.
But I'm sitting on a sofa beside Guard Wife, surfing the internet together. Sigh...heaven.

Glad you're happy in heaven. Please keep sending posts down to us on Earth.
I'm singing your post title to the tune of this Air Supply song:

I do not think drinking that amount of gin daily, would be condusive to much...other than sleep.
Sorry I passed out.

Cirrhosis of the liver, AWTM?? Maybe that's one other thing it would be conducive to?

Do not let Guard Wife fool you, she kept up ALL NIGHT, seriously.
A lot of Gin was consumed
not by me alone..
I do not want to look like a lush

Just remember how those desert dwellers react when they feel the South's 99% humidity for the first time... quite entertaining.
Oh yeah, I'm not dead.

VIVA LAS VEGAS
I'm on my way to Vegas today for the Blog World Expo. Don't worry, there will be plenty of internet connection.
I was joking with Guard Wife the other day that my favorite thing about my internet buddies is that I don't have to pretend I'm not glued to my computer all day long. When I hang out with people in the Real World, I have to pretend I'm not jonesing for a trip around the 'sphere. In contrast, when I went to visit AirForceFamily, all three of us adults sat around the kitchen table with three laptops and surfed the internet together.
Course, when I was a kid I used to play marathon games of solitare alongside my brother as well.
Come to think of it, I used to host BYOB parties: bring your own book. My friends and I would literally sit in a room and read together.
Apparently I really like to do solitary activities in a crowd.
Where was I? Right, Vegas. I'm headed to Vegas to surf the internet alongside some of my favorite people on this planet.
More later.

Fine! Have fun without me. And have a little fun for me while I finish cleaning house and then driving back to C-ville. Sigh. I wish i could go with you all.

I cannot WAIT to see you.
I have a craft mission for you, if you choose to accept it.
Unfortunately, I read at AWTM's that her eye is better. Not that I'm not glad she's better, but she's likely not bringing the eye patch. Bummer. Looks like we're on our own for appropriate "International Talk Like a Pirate Day" wear.

Who needs gambling when you can "surf the internet alongside some of [your] favorite people on this planet"?
Soon BYOB will mean 'bring your own blog'.
Keep us posted!
