------------ On your newest post - wow, that is so great about the sign your W bought! Not even so much that she got it but how excited she was about it.
That cardboard Knight idea is great!! That'll be a fun conversation starter. I'm not sure if your kids did this in school (more likely your S given their ages), but it reminds me of the "Flat Stanley" project a lot of schools do now. If you haven't heard of it - the kids make a little cardboard cutout person ("Stanley") and a journal that goes with him, then they send him out on travels with friends, family, etc. His various "hosts" write in the journal about where he's been and sometimes take pictures, find souvenirs, etc. The students plot where he's been on a map, and then go through his journal when he gets back. There's more info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_Stanley. I think you're about to have fun with the grownup version of Flat Stanley!
Wow, it sounds like your dinner went great too!! Sounds like a fun relaxed time - isn't it nice to enjoy those?? Bummer that you fell asleep but I don't think it was too bad, really. When you said you screwed up I thought it was going to be some big R talk. A nap?? Naahh, that's not blowing it!
I loooove Creme Brulee. So much that I learned to make it at home and even got the mini torch to caramelize the top. Funny actually, I've perfected my "technique" now and I actually make it better than most restaurants around here. We had to stop ordering it in restaurants because H would always ask me "What did they do wrong? This isn't as good as yours.." Hey maybe that's what I could bring over...
Happy Birthday!! Hope you have a great party.

And if I claim to be a wise man, well It surely means that I don't know
I went to Vegas w/ 2 girlfriends in early Nov/07, about a month after the third bomb. We had a blast, met lots of people - everyone is so friendly, you'll have no problem talking to 100 people each day if you want!!!
Your Knight will definitely be a big hit - make sure he gambles, though, or he won't get served drinks in the casinos. I found blackjack was great for meeting people - small tables and since it was my first time, the men were only too happy to help me out. Only one of us won some $$$ but it was sooooo fun to be far away from my H and all the crap I'd been living through. It was so surreal, it was just what the doctor ordered.
Don't forget to spend some time poolside - there will be lots of lovely ladies lounging in the sun, resting from partying at night.
Have a great time! Can't wait to read your updates.
