For those of you who check out my blog periodicially (or even regularly), you’ve seen that I’ve been MIA since last Wednesday.  Well, I was in Las Vegas for a few days with my husband, Andrew, and his sister and her husband to celebrate Andrew’s 40th birthday. I had the best of intentions concerning my blog — even hauled my laptop along, thinking that I’d have 10 or 15 minutes each day to blog briefly.  Well the truth is there wasn’t a lot of downtime (that’ll happen in Vegas) and even when there was, I was much more interested in napping, relaxing by the pool or shopping.  There’s no harm in taking a break every now and then, right? 

Oh, and for the record, the trip was fantastic.  We did a ton of walking (the blister on my right foot is testament to that), some gambling (my husband won $120.50 on a 50 cent bet), a fair amount of drinking and saw a lot of sights.  Took in a great show (Cirque du Soleil’s Zumanity), found some fabulous deals at Nordstrom’s and enjoyed a few days away from reality.  But now it’s back to work and back to blogging regularly.
