Exhausting getting home

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

Dang Sea-Tac airport wanted to charge me to log into the connection there, and the by the time I got home and settled in enough to think about turning on my home computer I had already bypassed the time for getting a post in on the 13th, so I have officially missed one day on the NaBloPoMo.  Ah well, I’m not in this for prizes or anything anyway, just for the fun of getting things posted to this site and getting myself thinking about my need to be writing on Heir to Magic every day.  That is the most important reason for participating in NaBloPoMo for me.

I’m home though, and downloading mass e-mails I had not got to check in Vegas.  I also need to get back into writing, double-timing it even.  I know I can write 80,000+ words in a month, so I have a LOT of catching up to do for NaNoWriMo and see if I can maybe write 50,000 words in 15 days.  LOL  That’ll be a killer.  But, I know I can make that goal, as long as the muses for Magic of Love don’t flee away from me and leave me with nothing to write about.  So… cry havok and let loose the muses of war!

Leaving Las Vegas

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

I am sitting at the gate at McCarran Airport waiting to board the flight to Sea-Tac in about half an hour.  Then, oh the joy, I have an 8 hour layover.  Hint to stop working on the future of my business and log into my sites and update my business of today.

I’m exhausted and have not got enough sleep, keep falling asleep working on computer.

It was a great trip though, Blog World Expo and PostieCon and the Tao and …. well, there was a LOT of things that there was to do and the little I played on slot machines I won.  Got CSI stuff too, hoodie and t-shirt and long sleeved shirt anf hat.  Need to make me some sweat pants for it now and I’ll have a full CSI running outfit.

Gal at Starbucks saw my hat and was uncertain on if I was a fan or some sort of special agent.  :::shaking head::: Hat was on my travel bear at the time. (long story)

Asleep now, going to find iced coffee to wake me up.  Will write more in Sea-Tac

Do I get to spend a quiet night in Vegas yet?

Monday, November 12th, 2007

Blog World Expo is over, PostieCon is now building up to next year, and I am exhausted from last night and all of this week.  I am more than ready for some quiet time in my room working.  Well… maybe not so quiet…

This is a picture of the Frontier Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas Nevada.

Frontier in Las Vegas Nevada

This is actually a before shot, because I have found out from the taxi drivers that the Frontier is scheduled for demolition on Tuesday morning at 2 a.m. It looks like this is the view I will have of things at two in the morning on Tuesday when they demolish it.  Yup.  I get front row seatting to watch the fall of a Las Vegas landmark.  I have mixed feelings about that, since I love the Frontier, I really hate to see it be torn down but…. I’m glad it sounds like I’ll get to see it happening.  I’ve never watched a building get demolished before.

And yes, I know, I have not uploaded pictures yet – I’ll get that done when I get home and have time to unwind – I swear.

PostieCon was incredible!

Sunday, November 11th, 2007

PostieCon07 was… it was simply amazing! So much information and so many great people that it was nearly overload.  I am still excited about Argus, which is now officially named SocialSpark.  That just looks like such a giant leap forward in what PayPerPost and companies like it started that I am excited to see how it evolves between now and PostieCon08.

And then the Tao… oh man.  That was a … that deserves a post all it’s own and I am about to go get pizza at Pizza Hut with Von, then headed for Excalibur to check out the strip starting on that end and work our way this way at least as far as the Bellagio, so I’ll make that post tonight.

And, I keep forgetting.  You can track me at Utterz I have been doing infrequent posts to that using my cell phone to keep the people here in Vegas appraised of if I was making it somewhere or not – but that is a good way to get a general idea on what I am up to or had going on recently.  I’m also sending infrequent posts to Twitter also, but I can only update that one from my computer, Utterz I can update from anywhere using my cell phone.

Got to run now, will post stuff later tonight.

Bike at Tresure Island

Saturday, November 10th, 2007

Check this bike out – This was set up just as we were headed out of Treasure Island last night on our way to the Bellagio for the Postie Picture, had to stop and catch a picture of this thing. 

Bike at TI


I’m sitting in PostieCon now, break between sessions, waiting for FabFour to start up in a few minutes.  This has been a great weekend with a lot to learn and I am already looking toward coming back for Blog Wold and attending PostieCon08 wherever they hold it next year.

Short post, and yes, I know I have not loaded up the good pictures yet.  Sorry about that.  Will try during breaks today I promise.  Have to run now.
