Dear Granna,

What an adventure was had this weekend in Las Vegas! I am so blessed to have wonderful friends, and was greatful that I had the opportunity to make some more. It was good to just go out, have a good time, clear my head... Granted, the entire good weekend was ruined by the horrible traffic getting back to San Diego. It took us almost NINE hours to drive back (and only four and a half to get out)... Needless to say, my quest to quit smoking ended about 30 miles from Vegas when it took us three hours to get to that place. Though, I am trying, that is for certain. There is just something about being stuck in traffic and having a nicotine fit that makes it for a dangerous trip, so my copilot thought it might be best if I quit smoking after we made it home safely.

We saw a few good shows, as well, and hit up a couple clubs and danced the night away. I am still quite tired from the whole ordeal, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. I got to have a few wonderful heart-to-heart talks with Albert to try to help me deal with my issues of getting attached to the people who don't want me, but completely ignoring the people that do. It is a strange quirk I have, and I am trying to get over it. I don't know, maybe part of me wants to fix the broken ones, but I have to fix myself first. I can't ever completely give myself over to someone if the cracks never heal in the foundation.

My writing is going well. I had a wonderful idea about a new story I would like to begin writing. All I have is the face of the main character and the world she lives in, but everything beyond that is a mystery. That is what makes it fun. It is so good to be able to write again, to be able to escape and do and be anything I want to in my fiction. Hopefully someday it will all be completed and someone can escape in my writing as much as I do. I'm not asking for fame, just one person who picks up my book and really enjoys it. That would make my lifetime.

Other than that, I am just living. This week is going to be a busy one. Beep's birthday is on Wednesday and I want to do something with her and get her some presents. On Thursday I might visit with my family, Friday Beep has to go for Surgery and I get to see my little man, Saturday I'm working, then celebrating my god-sister's 18th birthday...Sunday I will be visiting my Dad in Chino Hills, it is going to be another whirlwind week. Somewhere in there I need to fit in Legal Research! Where does the time go?
