Life Matters: The second half of my century!

Well, I did it. I hit the big 5-0! And life goes on.
I had a great time celebrating with my husband in Vegas. I saw the three "B's"- Bargains, Billionaires and Bums! I also took the "Pay less no stress express" otherwise known as the monorail. It was a great way to see the strip and give my feet a much deserved break. There is no way around it, you have to walk in Vegas.

Vegas is a very bright and vibrant city. Just how I hope I am! I received a card that read, "Congrats for hitting this major milestone in life. You've obviously done it with style, grace and creativity." I hope that's true too.

The card I received from my son, took another view, " Hey, look on the bright side. Okay, there is no bright side. There's a bright light, but you're gonna want to stay away from that."

And then there was the card from my twin, "The Dwarfs at 50: Squinty, Itchy, Gassy, Saggy, Cranky, Gimpy, Snoozy. Hope your 50th isn't short on Happy!" It wasn't!

My older sister sent me this, " may the second half of your century be joyous and expanding and illuminating and wonderful." Was she referring to an expanding waistline? Or perhaps, the introduction of grandchildren? Let's hold off on both of those prospects for now.

While in Vegas they promote "Flashbacks" otherwise known as skimpy showgirls' behinds. I must also add "Flyovers." Mitch and I went and saw "Vegas the Show" and it was an homage to the old Vegas. The stars impersonated Elvis, Sonny and Cher, Elton John, The Rat Pack and others. In one segment the showgirls got on little swings and literally few over us in our second row seats. No need to leave anything to the imagination.

I guess it's true that Vegas has something for everyone. Where else can you see Buddha, Elvis and a stripper pole? And, yes I have the pictures to prove it.

So Viva Las Vegas!

And Viva me!
