I hope everyone had a great weekend! And fortunately, for us Nevada folk, it was a three day weekend. Beth and I spent Friday in Primm at the Las Vegas Fashion Outlet Mall, the best outlet mall in (or near) Vegas. There, you can still find good 'ol outlet deals. For example, Beth and I bought some sailcloth panels at the Pottery Barn outlet for $2.25 to $5.00 a panel. In all, we spent about $30 on what would have otherwise been $270 or so in curtains. We are so excited about that find. We found many other good deals, too. Like bread maker mixes from Williams Sonoma, and great deals at J. Crew and GAP. The next time any of you are in LV, I strongly recommend taking the 30 minute drive from LV to Primm. Also, Buffalo Bills hotel and casino is out there, home to the Desperado rollercoaster. At the time it was built, it was the tallest and fastest rollercoaster. No loops or anything, just plane old speed and lots of drops! What a rush! In all, Primm is a great trip.

I am in Dallas right now. Well, Fort Worst, um, Worth, actually. I flew from San Francisco to Miami today, and then to Dallas. Now, I am here in Ft. Worth and will be here until Tuesday morning, when we fly back to San Francisco. Then, I will be done until November 5. It will be a nice week off. Even though I just had a week off! People ask me why I am a flight attendant...maybe because I work three days and then have a week off. *AND* still get paid full time wages! Sounds criminal, I know. Maybe that adds to the adventure. God knows what I am going to do all day tomorrow though...? I brought with me a book called "Left Behind." I am sure you've heard of it, it is the first book in a series of over ten and still growing. I have had the book for a while, another flight attendant passed it along to me. I have been hearing more and more lately that the book sounds largely like 9.11.2001, and the disasterous results of the terrorist attacks. It is a religious take on things, but I hear it is really very good and just might dive into it. Otherwise, I have Harry Potter numero uno (HP and the Sorcerer's Stone) with me. The movie is coming out November 16 and I want to read the book again before I see the movie, just so I can compare! We'll see how it goes...
