Unexpected

Just a couple of weeks to go now until the photo shoot. I have managed to pull all my “stuff” together and I think I am finally ready. Yesterday I went out to Red Rock Canyon to scout out some locations for pictures. Thank goodness I did! I found a really great spot with terrific views on all sides. It’s gonna be a tight fit with a giant car, but I think we can do it. I tried to be mindful of the time of day, the sun, the wind, etc so I could be there as close to the time I think I’m going to be there next month. It was just gorgeous! One downside was the wind. It just happened to be a windy day already, but I am hoping I won’t see quite that much on the 14th. My hair will be a disaster.


I also put in a request for a tour of the Neon Graveyard for May 7th and I was just confirmed. That’s good news. Now I can walk through there and scout some locations for David. I will feel better knowing that I have already seen both areas and have a sense of how to make the best use of our time that day. It’s gonna be a long day for sure, but I think it should also be a lot of fun. The only other thing with the car is trying to find the rental place. I was going on memory yesterday when I tried to find it. No success. I’ll have to look at the map again. I know it’s on the Strip and I think I know the plaza, but I just couldn’t see it from the road. Ugh. Timing wise, it took me about 20 minutes from Red Rock to the Strip, so I think we are in good shape getting from point A too point B without wasting a lot of time.

Which leads me to what is wasting my time right now…my stupid car lease!! I don’t want to go into the details, but I am now leaving this Saturday to drive my car back to OH to immediately turn around and drive back in my new car before Friday. 6 days in the car and I have to call it vacation!!! Grrrr…

Dad is still in OH, but now that I am coming out, we are going to drive back together. I had to go and dig out my walkie talkies that we used when I first moved out here. Luckily, they still work. The just needed a charge. So I have to spend the week before my photo shoot in a car for 6 days, eating fast food, and no gym access. I already told Mimi. I think she is going to try and put some exercises together for me that I can do in the hotel. That should be interesting. Dad of course would rather not stop at all, or just pull over on the road and catch a nap. Um, no thanks. I am tempted to wear pajamas the whole time. That could be fun.
