Have I mentioned that Mr. Island and i are going to Vegas in 11 days- for the first time??? We've been talking about it for ages and finally decided to take the plunge after we managed to pay off all of our debt this summer. We'll be staying at the Golden Nugget which I hear is a really nice place. I am a complete Vegas idiot so I will be a total tourist once I get there. We are going to see 'Mama Mia' and Rita Rudner's show while we are there and I hope to do a little shopping and see the sites, I'm not a big gambler but I could be persuaded to drop a few coins in the slots, you know, just to say that I did.
For those of you who have already been there, What should we be sure to see?? I'm excited because Hubby and i really deserve this holiday- I'm going to throuroughly enjoy it.
Well I should run, I look forward to your Vegas travel tips!
Hugs and buffets,

I have been referred to this Domestic nazi's website several times. I know if seems like I'm unorganized and generally a disheveled mess but what people understand is that I am currently choosing to be this way!! Really, I DON'T feel like I'm that much of a MESS!! If I wanted to act like I had the ever watching eye of a boss, I'd go back to work. There is a reason i choose to work at home, because i can be my OWN boss and dictate what I do and when I want to do it. I know my schedule doesn't work for everyone but too fricken bad. I've got alot going on 'upstairs' on a daily basis and I deal with daily life the best I know how.
Polishing my sink to a glistening shine as to see my reflection is not on my list of priorities, sorry flylady. The funny thing about her sink polishing is that it should be a rather straight forward job. Grab an SOS pad, scrub every surface thouroughly and rinse. Done. This unfortunately isn't the way Flylady does it....nooooo... she's got to use the 12 step process involving several different soakings with several different chemicals and a lot of scrubbing followed by DRYING out the sink with clean towel. Is this woman RETARDED??? The reason women go to her site is to try and streamline their days, not take half a fuckin' day to polish the bloody sink. I do understand her point about having a nice shiney sink but com'on people she goes a little overboard. I went through the site, mainly because I can't diss the woman without knowing what she's all about. She's got some great ideas and I will morph some of them to suite my needs BUT as for putting my running shoes on first thing in the morning... Forget it, unless i have somewhere to go and even then flip flops suite me fine.
I know everyone could use a little organization in their lives, and when I want to I can be quite organized. With all of that organization comes alot of stress, if things aren't working out the way you organized- all of your planning goes right out the window and you need to sit down with several stiff drinks to calm down. That is just the kind of person I am. So I don't stress about much these days, it keeps me happy and sane (the zoloft helps too) and in turn it keeps my hubby happy (unless he's out of clean boxers, then he's not so happy) But everything gets done. Maybe not today, or the next day but it gets done.
so peeps please lay off with the reccomendations to the flylady... I've got IT!!
Hugs and vaccum cleaners
