I head out to Las Vegas on Wednesday. Are you jealous?

This is a very special trip for me because it is my first trip without my husband and son- ever. Also, on Friday I will turn 31. One of the purposes of going to Las Vegas is a blogging conference, but more importantly, I will be meeting up with some great friends I have made online. To me that reason is the best reason for me to go to Las Vegas.

I have a lot to do before I leave Wednesday morning, I just need to figure out exactly what it all is. And just like any other trip we take, I have already had my obligatory “forgot something important” nightmare. It isn’t like having a nightmare that I have Mesothelioma cancer, but I still woke up with my heart pounding and a little bit short of breath.

I dreamed I had to take a taxi to the airport. And somehow I made it all the way to the gate and it was then that I realize I left my purse in the hotel I slept in the night before. I know it isn’t possible to do that, since I would have needed identification to get past security, but still.

These types of dreams crop up before we go on any trip. I can usually calm myself down by telling myself “if we forget anything, we just pick it up at the store when we are there.” Except in this dream, I couldn’t do that because it was my purse, with my wallet, cell phone, and other important stuff that was missing.

I think I need to go make lists now. It will definitely calm me down.
