The Deep Stuff
I got in late tonight from Oregon. I had a blast. The concert was fun, but Loretta just isn't singing all that good anymore. She only did one Patsy Cline cover tune too boot! Her son is in the show and boy is he a warped and twisted little cookie. The references and one liners that were shot across the stage really floored me. Let's see there was the reference to what people do with corn cobs... the reference to him doing his teacher when he was 14 and many other weird things.
Sometimes my mouth gets the best of me. During the concert I noticed that Ernest (her son) was wearing extremely tight wranglers. I jokingly leaned over and whispered to my mother that it looked like he had a sock in his pants. She cracked up and then told someone else and by the end of the night it was a running joke. Bulge boy definitely was one of the peak entertainment values, unfortunately, not for his singing talents.
One of the gals in the group (there were a few of us) is extremely naive and I had to explain a few things to her. Trying to be subtle and not nasty while explaining what a proctologist, the corn cob thing and the sock thing were all about, was really a challenge.
I was very disappointed with the casino. It just isn't the same playing slots when you don't every touch any coins. I like the Nevada ones much better, there is so much more to do. I guess I am not the gambling kind. The only good thing was of course the all you can eat buffet. Well of course I ate all I could eat... and then some.
The shopping was fantastic and I finally got those shoes I have been on the war path for! Oh yah, and a bonus pair on top! Let's see what else... Oh yes how could I forget! The wine tasting rocked! I bought a couple of bottles that were really yummy. One was a blackberry and the other a raspberry. Definitely saving those for one of those I have had a crappy day now I am going to soak in the tub and drink my yummy wine nights. God what a girly thing to say.
We got so lucky in the fact that the weather was fabulous! What a gorgeous few days! The sights along the way were incredible with the leaves starting to turn and all. The kites on the beach were so intricate and cool looking. Definite eye candy and soul soothing.
One of the other small funny things that happened was having this little guy run around asking me if I wanted some pop or coffee while I was at the *self serve* coffee and pop area. I was talking to my Mom and she just was cracking up. Glad I could do my part of the entertainment Mom!
Best Lines of The Weekend:
"You drive like a man!" Aimed at my Mother who would intimidate any Nascar driver.
"Here keep the change." After handing the bartender a 5 spot for a $4.75 drink. Nice going Auntie! (We laughed about that one for a while since the bartender shot a moue look at her and said thanks.)
Of course the "look he has a sock in his pants" comment gets mentioned here too.
In a age related comment about being hard of hearing "huh" was a great line. Took them a few minutes to catch it.
Till next time.
