I type this post from seat 36E (upgraded with extra leg room) on a Delta 757 thirty thousand feet in the air. We are on our way to Vegas, baby, Vegas! I plan to post pictures throughout our visit of the Las Vegas strip, Grand Canyon, and Hoover Dam.Right now, I laugh hysterically. A girl in line for the occupied lavatory unknowingly has a lengthy piece of toilet paper stuck to the bottom of her stiletto. As she waits, she stretches her leg up and down, up and down. The trail of tissue floats up and down, up and down.
Finally, she lifts her leg for the last time. The tissue gives one last hurrah and gracefully falls to the floor. The girl won, yet never realizes her victory. The toilet paper balls up as passengers walk by; a stewardess kicks it to the side. Poor tissue. It put up a good fight.
After a week in Vegas, I will be that strand of toilet paper. Started fresh, full of hope, but eventually wore down and exhausted. I welcome the impending exhaustion that Vegas offers, it will be fun. Worth it.

Elizabeth! You have no idea how much i enjoy reading your blog. You should write a book. Wait. You did. Already. And it got published. Now I feel silly.
So, how 'bout them Cats!
Seriously, congrats on passing the New York exams. Best of luck in finding a speech job soon.
Ooh, have fun! I've never been to Vegas but all my friends have, and they all say it's SO much fun—as I'm sure you'll find out!
can't wait to hear about the trouble you and ben get into :)
post pictures soon please!
And so, the question begs: 'Not 'did' you win, but HOW much did you win?' Don't spend it all in one casino! Save some for a seating upgrade on the return flight! Happy belated Birthday, Elizabeth! Give my regards to the 'Little White Wedding Chapel'!
