Slots of fun?

Update:
I’m on my way to the airport — and I have no idea who nominated me for The Bump Mommy Blog Award, but wow, thank you!!

If you’d like to cast a vote for yours truly HERE, I really appreciate it. And remember: thanks to the fact that YOU spoke up right here on this blog — after we’d been slotted to “miscellaneous” — The Bump added a Single Mommy category!

Thank you for voting for Single Mom Seeking!!

I’m packing my bags to head somewhere I’ve never been before. Clue: Some of you might have noticed those little badges on my sidebar recently?

Well, The Mind of Moms Summit has offered to fly me up to Tinsel Town (see correction below from Edgar. Thanks!) this week to speak at BlogWorld about “the importance of looking beyond the nuclear family.”

Of course, I emailed that sassy QTMama – whom I consider to be the Queen of Sin City — right away. She couldn’t believe that I’d never been, either.

“Oh my goodness! I’m so excited for you!” she wrote back. “Where are you staying?”

I’m sorry to disappoint you, QTMama, but I’m NOT staying on The Strip. Moreover (I can be such a stick in the mud!), I just found out my hotel is both smoke-free and “non-gaming.”

Oh, QTMama, are you disappointed? After listening to talks every day from 8:30 – 5 p.m., I just might go back to my room to read a novel in my smoke-less, game-free room.

In true QTMama form, she has given me some packing advice (gotta love that woman!):

“Bring a dress!” she tells me. “Dress sexy. You will also do a lot of walking — so be sure to bring shoes that you are comfortable in.”

Got it.

“People are friendly and nice,” she adds. “Everyone is there to have a good time — so don’t be surprised when you see people having a good time,” she adds. “Like, a REALLY GOOD TIME.”

Um–.

Then she adds a word of warning: “Don’t go to the ‘old strip,’ aka, Fremont Street, by yourself. Anywhere else, you’re going to be fine, but Fremont is not that great of an area anymore.”

Hey, QT, can I get your cell number if I have any trouble?

“And,” she adds, “if you want to see a cute Irish guy singing some fun Irish music, let me know.”

Thanks, sweetheart! In the meantime, I’m off to meet “The Moms,” who are as follows:

Read the book! Single Mom Seeking is a tell-all about how to date and remain a dedicated and involved parent. It’s a spunky, sexy, and moving chronicle of the humor, pitfalls, and rewards of balancing it all — single-mom style.
