tips for a weekend in Lake Havasu

  • Do not carry your brand new perscription glasses in your pocket during a wild ride on one of these:

There is a stylish donkey in the middle of no where, rockin’ Juicy Coutures.

  • Bring a good looking boy or two for company.
  • Always go back for more blackjack. It took a lot longer to mourn the loss of a fifty dollar bill than it did to lose it. (Less than ten hands.) When I returned as a self-proclaimed ‘determined bitch,’ I won it all back and then some.
  • Don’t start in on the champagne too early in the morning. It could result in a nine p.m. bedtime.
  • Keep a watchful eye on powdered donut boxes when the hungry hands of a seven-year-old are in the vicinity.
  • Bring your most awesome pair of shades:

  • Don’t bother with six dollar shots when the cost of the bottle is the price of three of them and comes with approximately 21x the amount of liquor
  • Bring bubbles

The celebratory means of the weekend away was 90% my little brother’s 21st birthday and 10% Mother’s day, for which I was gifted a gift certificate to a bookstore. There was much squealing on my part, especially when I read the denomination.

I’m going to buy 500,000 copies of Chuck Palaniuk’s new book just because I can.

A day late to all the mamas – happy day!

Ha! Chuck will appreciate the effort, I’m sure. I just finished Tell-All and am torn by it. On one hand, I really respect Chuck’s decision to veer away from his norm; on the other hand, I just didn’t like the story all that much.
