Me: I should sleep
Also me: Because you had a long nap, your body thinks it doesn’t need sleep yet.
-Need to start setting alarms for naps.
-even short trips across more than one time zone really messes with me

What is my horror movie role?
Yeah, I’ve always said I would not be the final girl. I’m too ridiculous and clumsy. I’d get locked in the laundry room with no pants. I’d get murdered trying to escape through the window cuz my boobs (or butt) won’t fit.
Doomed.

Well, that was terrifying.
I’m going to need to watch a pleasant cartoon now.

You just picked up a tooth on a stranger’s porch and now you’re going in their house?!
What are you doing?
Get out of there NOW!

Also for the record, Pam just said “let’s go.” Can we listen to Pam please cuz she also didn’t want to pick up the hitchhiker.

No Pam, don’t go in there!

Boyfriend: ok, I’ll try to get a ticket to see Hozier with you, I only know a couple of his songs but I’m sure it’ll be a good show.

[after the show]

Boyfriend: Can we go to see Hozier again? What was the name of that one song?

[smiling smugly]
Me: a new fan!

Ok you’ve found the old house.
You need to go get gas and keep moving, kids.

Lol yes I’m very fun on road trips, but I probably won’t be murdered cuz I went on a side quest, right?

Sure, let’s pick up a hitchhiker, what could go wrong.
Oh and he’s into knives. Fantastic.

I’m watching with the lights off and it’s raining a bit to add to the spooky evening vibe.
I’m totally allowed to turn the lights back on if I get freaked out.

I don’t think I’ve actually seen Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
I know it’s a classic and it’s going to be messed up.
I know 70s horror can be wild.

I understand 4:30pm shouldn’t be bedtime but also I’m saying the post-vacation struggle is real.

I wish I’d had an additional day in Vegas. We had so much fun.
I’m home now and I’m going to go make out with my bed.

I’m sad to tell you that Mom’s dog Bosco is no longer with us.
He was a sweet dog, loved observing the neighborhood through the window (and sometimes napping at that window). He had a nice long life with Mom.

Today was a really fun day and pretty much everything I hoped it would be. Walking around and taking pictures. A brief but successful outing at a slot machine, I basically won $30 and then decided to cash out.
And then the Hozier show was amazing.
Vegas vacation has been great so far.
