could have gone

I could have been in Las Vegas this afternoon. My friend is going there for business and asked me if I wanted to go with them. But 'them' was 4 of his managers. Now this would have been the ideal situation since he will be busy with business and I'd be there on my own. There have been many times I has said I wished I could just take off and disappear for awhile. So why didn't I take him up on his offer? The pool isn't open this time of year so there goes my day. I tend to lose most self control when I go to Las Vegas so I need to keep busy in the day and out of the casino. And since Tina wouldn't be there, I didn't think I could keep busy enough and I would have lost a lot of money! Of course with the crappy week it's been, I wish I had gone. I settled for going to Texas in March. My friend said it is closer to fly into Shreveport, LA than Dallas, then asked if I wanted to go to Mardi Gras since we'd be in Louisiana. I think I am a little old for the partying and hate big crowds like that....what a fuddy duddy I am! Of course it snowed last night and finally got cold-it is winter after all- but that makes me want warmer weather already. Well I can't change it, can't get on the plane today. I just have to look forward to a vacation in March.
