So not a gambler, but I had to at least do a slot machine. Won $1.75, then gambled it all away. The addictive part, for me, was pulling the lever.

We were at the MGM Grand, and I insisted we pretend we were in one of those casino heist movies where they try to blend in on the casino floor and talk into their sleeves and dash through all the hidden corridors. Rob was not exactly game for playing along, but at one point we did take the stairs instead of the elevator, and the minute we pushed through the door the fancy décor stopped - the stairwell was all cinderblocks and pipes and it was just like in the movies! I was pretty sure that from the stairwell we could find a service door that would lead us to the vault, and then we'd just need to replicate someone's fingerprint or eyeball in order to break in. Or maybe crawl through a duct and drop from the ceiling.

We're back home now, and today's my birthday. 28.

"Just living is not enough...One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower."
-Hans Christian Andersen

I to.tal.ly would have played that game with you, and we would have found the secret vault with the extra secret money AND jewels AND George Clooney waiting for us, where he would have whisked us & the secret money AND jewels away to his Italian villa.

Happy Birthday!!!

HEY! Happy Birthday! Treat yourself to a loooong Target visit.

You're such a young pup. Happy birthday!

I wish I had known that you were going on vacation. I had John Stamos wrapped up and shipped to your house as an early birthday present, but when no one was there to sign for him, they returned him to me. We've been having a grand old time. (although I wish he'd wear more clothes... and stop with the endearing nicknames) Anyway - he DID want me to wish you a happy birthday!! Hope the coming year is full of magic!

Gee, you almost had John Stamos for your birthday....
... too bad on that.

But at least you can still go to Target. :-)

Happy Birthday!

happy bday beautiful girl!!

the stuff you write and the things you do around the world...it's hard to imagine you as merely 28.

 

William  |  24 June 2008 - 7:52am

Happy Birthday you young 'un.

 

geeky  |  24 June 2008 - 9:44am

Thanks everyone!

 

Jenski  |  24 June 2008 - 8:15pm

Happy birthday! Sorry you didn't have some gigantic suitcase of stolen money with which to celebrate. :-)

 

ucM  |  24 June 2008 - 9:37pm

Happy belated! Just as beautiful as ever. Congrats on your big win. I've still never gambled. Don't plan to either.

 

Mainline Mom  |  26 June 2008 - 8:33am

Happy Birthday! You are so young!!

 

kelly  |  26 June 2008 - 5:18pm

Totally want to smooch each and every one of you who called me young! :)
