More From Vegas


We have been having so much fun!  This is how our night started last night.  We were walking through one of the malls on our way to Serendipity when we got side tracked by a very pretty young lady selling anti-aging creams and masks and stuff.  She was good.  She snagged us with the "are you three sisters" line and then lured us into her shop by telling us how young and beautiful we all are.  Then she started applying these creams (taking off our make up for the evening) and began to point out all of our flaws and lines and wrinkles and sags.  HUGE ego-boost.  So, this is GoGo and I getting younger (notice that Jennafer isn't in this picture because the beautiful lady thought she was thirteen).


This is the three of us in front of Serendipity before we had dinner last night.  Which one looks like the daughter and which one looks like the daughter-in-law?

 

 This morning we began our day in Paris with a yummy breakfast at Mon Ami Gabi.  Then we spent the next six hours walking and laughing and shopping and playing the slots just a bit (and GoGo got cornered by ANOTHER face mask place--same brand--for another youthful make over).

I put $20 into the slot and I won my $20 back!  Not the millions I was hoping for, but I am just as rich or poor as I was before I began my time in Vegas (as far as the slots are concerned.)
This is mom playing the "big bertha" slots in Paris.  Bust.  She is $1 poorer!
Mom and I at the Pink Taco in Planet Hollywood.  The food is SO YUMMY!  If you ever go to Vegas, eat at the Pink Taco!  We'll probably be going back!
The three of us at Cirque Du Soleil "Viva Elvis!"  Great show!!!

Should've Said No. . . ?

Andy proposed during a curtain call of Me and My Girl , a musical in which he played an old man who went most of his life without telling the woman he loved that he loved her... Twenty-three years ago today Andy asked me to marry him. . . .  he was my best friend and I thought he was the love of my life.  Should I have said no? I don't know how many times I have now been asked a version of that question in the past couple of years and I cannot count the number of times I have asked myself that question over the past decade, but it is a dumb question with no great answer. If I would have said no 23 years ago, I would have saved myself from so many tears and so much pain, but I would have missed so much laughter and so many exciting firsts and I would be such a different person. . . . Because of this day, 23 years ago, I am who I am and I have so much to be thankful for. Because of this day, 23 years ago, I have five of the best kids on the planet.  They are t

The Grief of a Stepmom

The grief of a stepmom.  This post has had so many titles:  The Invisible Grief of a Stepmom, The Silent Grief of a Stepmom, The Lonely Grief of a Stepmom. . . the grief of a stepmom is like no other grief because it feels so homeless. My stepson died a few weeks ago.   Marc and I have only been married eight months and Mackay, my stepson, lived in NYC and we rarely got to see him (he didn't get to come to the wedding or Cabo and didn't stay with us when he came to town), so I didn't have much of a relationship with him.  So there is a weird layer of loosing someone I hardly knew and I feel like that is the layer that makes the most sense to everyone.   While the family was mourning, I was the one organizing all of the meals coming in from our wonderful friends and neighbors, I was cleaning up one meal and setting up for the next.  I was keeping the house in order and making sure Marc was able to surround himself with the friends and family he needed to make it through the

Mother's Day Thoughts

I've been feeling so many Mother's Day feels this weekend.  For starters, my big kids came home to surprise me and that was the most wonderful thing!  I remember Mother's Day 2017 when I cried because Hays was a Senior in high school and heading to Texas A&M and I thought it would be my last Mother's Day with my five all together. . . . and yesterday proved those tears unnecessary!  And then, as if that wasn't more than I could ever wish for, Marc spoiled me like I have never been spoiled before.  I am consistently blown away and humbled by how much he appreciates me and shows me his appreciation with words, gifts, acts of service and more.  I am so grateful for this husband of mine and the way he loves me and shows our kids what selfless love is supposed to look like! But even before yesterday, I've been thinking a lot about all of the different dimensions of motherhood I now experience and it is shaping me into a new and stronger and more compassionate and
