    Lilah and Jazzy....I sure do hope both of you are feeling much better before Friday..

    jancie...you are one wild lady..LOL...I am bringing a dress (simple) and dressy sandals but no heels for me.  If my feet get tired it affects my whole body...wears me down..

    for the rest of the time...capri's, casual tops, and a light wrap for indoors "cold" air. 

    I spent this afternoon going to Walmart for last minute things and then getting clothes ready and layed out ready to pack.  I was so busy I only had a granola bar all afternoon.  I went for a bike ride and worked out at the gym so I did eat when I got home.

    jancie....fake hair and no one can tell...Me and Estepp will because we are hair experts...LOL

    I have hot flashes also. I made little fans out of index cards to carry in my purse so when I have one I will have a fan with me.......

    Lilah - I look like an old frumpy menopausal women!  But I am determined next year to show up looking like Estepp and Traceyz! 

    I am getting my hair highlited on Thursday.  Even though this fake ponytail matches so closely - I want it to match PERFECTLY.  I love my hair stylist - she has been so wonderful this entire time with me and always makes me feel better about myself.   Now if only I could get a discount on my hair by playing the cancer card - nope not with her.  I would NEVER have spent that much money on my hair even 2 years ago but once I lost it - well I am going to spoil myself and dh is just going to have to accept it!  I used to go to a hairdresser at the most twice a year - now I am going every 8 weeks and highlighting every 16 weeks.

    Linda54 - trade you a t-shirt for one of your fancy fans :)

    LOL...not fancy fans Jancie....I just glued 2 index cards together to make them stiffer.  I can get through those hot flashes better when I can get some air blowing on my face.  Greeting cards make good instant fans. I keep one in my Bible so it is handy during church service.

    Jancie...you are going to be hot...to hot to touch....black dress and highlighted hair with fake pony tail.....wooooohoooooo....

    What an idiot I am.  I just reread my post and said Monday instead of Thrusday.  And that was before I had a glass of wine. Oh well.

    good night to all.

    Jancie I cannot wait to meet you! You sound like alot of fun!  Can't wait to see your beautiful long hair. I do plan on wearing a dress one of the nights.. Probably the meet and greet..  The rest of the nights I will be wearing my fat shirts like Lilah and Jazzy.. My friend Melissa will be wearing her skinny shirts. She is really just a little bit of nothing.. Probably about a size 1 and works out like 5 days a week. Oh how I envy her!!

    Jennifer - too bad that all my LONG hair is fake hair!  I used to have such beautiful natural blonde long hair until chemo.  Now my hair - well it is just below the shirt collar so I am ok with it and actually like the style - I just want it LONG LONG LONG!!! 

    I remember when I was in my 20's and I would look at 50 year old women with hair down past their bra line and wonder what in the heck are they thinking, older women shouldn't wear their hair long because it just makes them look as though they are trying to pretend to be younger.

    And here I am at 50 years of age thinking what the heck was I thinking back then?  I want long hair then dangit I will grow my hair long no matter what age I am.  Of course before I pretty much wore it in a ponytail 24/7 or in a nice bun to church.

    Jennifer - the shirts I bought for Vegas - all x-large.  I could have gotten away with size large but the material is so darn thin that it just seems to cling to those extra rolls of fat on my back and stomach so the extra size helps them just hang from the shoulders so I can hide my weight better.

    I am all for dressing comfortable.  Here in Utah, well we don't dress up much.  It is totally acceptable to grocery shop in sweat pants whereas in  Dallas you would have had security following you around as though you were going to steal something if you dared to wear sweats to even just grocery shop.

    Nope, I got tired of feeling like my hair and face had to be done up perfect all of the time, dressed up in fancy clothes, etc.  

    I wear lipstick to funerals and weddings and that is it!  I rarely put eye make up on but since of course all of these women are bringing cameras I will have to try to be a little more presentable. :)

    In May I bought a new sleeveless dress which I hope to wear Friday night.  But as others said I better try it on... I'm still a little bummed thinking what doc told me in July... due to my fibroids it's like I'm 15 weeks pregnant.  Come this winter I might just bite the bullet and have that hysterectomy. 

    Ok for good news... I did the relay marathon with 4 of my biking friends today and we rocked it out.  We all did better than what we thought.  Thank goodness my ankle held up

    Whooo Hoooo he we come Vegas : )

    Jazzy & Lilah, hope you're feeling better very very very soon!!!

    Ha-ha, plan a women's get together and a major topic of conversation is clothing, of course!  I plan to bring at least one dress, although heels are questionable.  I'm a pretty comfy clothes person so everything I bring will be comfy. If I matched well enough I wouldn't even bring bras but, well, I'm a bit too self conscious for that right now. 

    5 more days!!

    Linda54 - I can't afford to eat at pricey restaurants so maybe on Friday evening before the meet and greet we can get together and go eat a CHEAP DINNER!  I have limited funds and I figured that transportation alone is going to be around $90 for the entire weekend. 

    This is why I pay the nickle slots - you can play for hours and drink free and maybe blow through $10 at the most in 2 hours.

    I also researched restaurants at Crystals.  There is a Wolfgang Puck sort of place in the downstairs section that is not too expensive... light fare (salads, sandwiches, soups) as far as I could tell... and no reservations needed. 

    I'm surprised they don't have a food court!  Isn't that traditional in a mall? :)

    There are also inexpensive places to eat at PH -- one that I recall is Earl of Sandwich.

    Hey ladies, thank you for the wardrobe/packing tips.  We are having 90-100 degree weather here in CA, so I'm thinking summer outfits for Las Vegas.  And of course a dress for Friday night!

    Lilah, is your cold better?  Jazzy, rest up well today - hope you are feeling better soon!

    Good 'cause the only exercise I plan on doing is walking from casino to restaurant to bar and back again.  That and the occasional 12 oz curls.

    Jazzy hope you feel better soon! The "mall", aka City Center is upscale and you will not find a traditional food court (meaning "affordable" places to eat). It is very beautiful, but for me to shop and buy something there...it probably won't happen. But if I win the mega millions tomorrow night...lol!
