I’m a month late in blogging this. My computer has been in the shop THREE times over the past 3 weeks, and finally I believe it is healed and well. It’s pretty much a new computer now, all free. Thank you Apple. 
For my birthday last month, my hubby took me here:

Yes! Venice. Or the Venetian in Las Vegas. One or the other. If you’ve read PRINCESS FOR HIRE, you know that this place holds a special place in my heart. We had a magical time watching all the tourists watch each other. Also, I ordered three desserts in honor of my thirties. Holy cannoli, good stuff.
I’ll admit, I was dreading the birthday. Why? I don’t know. I honestly think it has something to do with this movie:

I was 24 when it came out, and I remember being so confused. 30 seemed so… old. You’re so settled and adjusted and on track. What is fabulous about that?
Well, here I am. And it IS fabulous! I turned in my third book the night before my birthday, and I’ve finally moved to my hometown for good, and I’m ready for this next phase of my life to start. 
Although lingerie dress? Not happening.
