My absolutely AMAZING friend, Jennifer, came into Vegas for a video conference! Our schedules were both jammed pack, but we were able to meet up for breakfast.

Let me set up the scenario for you:

We were sitting enjoying our breakfast in the Paris hotel. My back was toward the pedestrian traffic, Jen was on the other side of the table facing me and the pedestrian traffic. Her absolutely STUNNING daughter, Emery, was next to her. My purse was sitting on the empty chair next to me.

We were enjoying each other and some mighty fine food, when I was grabbed on my shoulder I looked up and heard:

"You REALLY should zip your purse up."

I looked down at my wide open purse, and went, "Oh, you're right! I should, Than----"

Then she proceeded to give me the EXACT look that this lady in the picture is...and SHAKE her finger at me! She turned right around and walked away.

My jaw was wide open! I was laughing so hard inside. I looked at Jen and she said, exactly what I was thinking, "Did she just do this?" (as she imitated the condescending finger shake).

It was hilarious! And, after the shock, I am pretty thankful for those nosey, helpful, do-gooders out there! Who knows, maybe I would've lost a wallet that day? :)

i fell for it....

I wanted so hard to believe, Brother Dogg was joining the fold...that he REALLY enjoyed playing Mousetrap and eating brownines...

Alas, it was a horrible April Fools Joke by CNN. Once again confirming that today's media will do whatever they can to pull at the heartstrings of innocent, trusting, BELIEVING citizens! Do they have no conscience?

I was excited for the firesides, the Saturday night dances, running into him in the temple....

One more reason to be excited about the millenium... :) (maybe.....)
