Ever been on a long drive all by yourself?
I just had this experience doing the drive to Vegas, and while I would normally pass the time singing along with Jewel and Broadway Soundtracks (and sounding exactly like them, I might add), this time with my throat hurting, I found myself alone with my thoughts instead.
And that can be a scary thing.
Here’s what passed through my mind…
- Why is it that the Mexican stations have better and stronger signals in the middle of the desert then the American stations? Seems a bit strange.
- Blog. Why is it named “Blog?” Such a silly word.
- What makes people like a certain blog? Why do people like mine? Why do people not like mine? Why, why, why?
- Every town in America has at least two exits with the same name. Main Street and Auto Parkway. Weird.
- Cruise control is an awesome invention. Wish I had thought it up.
- Glazed doughnuts and diet coke taste mighty fine at 5 in the morning.
- Should I really get rid of the scale? Yes, I should. But, really? Yes, I should, I promised my readers. But will they ever know? No, but I will. {How honest am I?!?}
- Wonder what it would be like if our seats in the car doubled as a toilet. Where would the pee go?
- {In the first hour of driving there…} How can I leave my kids, my husband, my life…I’m scared to drive out of California all alone.
- {An hour later} I love being all alone, what if I kept driving and never came back? Um….KIDDING…of course. Kinda.
See how I get all deep and stuff?
Anyway, Vegas was fun. We spent a lot of time pool side working on our tans. And then we burned calories dancing the night away. I just have to say, Vegas is insane. We were quite the conservative bunch compared to the “ladies” we saw.
Oh, but I forgot to tell you the big news.
I sat at the VIP booth right next to Janelle from Sunset Tan. Uh huh. Oh yeah, that’s right. And she kept giving my sister and I the look up and down. So, she like totally saw us. I actually think she was jealous of our dance moves.
So, that makes me famous now right?
And just think, you can say you knew me when. You lucky lucky readers you.
And yes, I said VIP booth, with table service and stuff. That somebody else pays for. All I had to say was, “Ever heard of Le Musings of Moi?” and then opportunities and doors opened right up for us. That, or we were a bunch of cute girls. Can’t remember which is the truth.
Anyway, with impending stardom around the corner, I better go get ready for my debut.

Its crazy where our minds will go when we our left to our own thoughts!
you already ARE famous, silly!
sounds like a ton of fun.
the stupid scale thing…ugh. i an’t figure out the hold on me. last night i was sitting in my tub thinking about the book and thinking if i didn’t have the scale, i wouldn’t have the “goal weight” and i know it’d be tremendously freeing, But…BUT WHAT…?
I have another blog called Project Re-Vamp that i am writing down my feeling s on the book, and i plan to smash my scale to smitherines with a sledge hammer ON VIDEO and post it there. Just have to work up the courage…
smashing a scale to smithereens on video and posting it is a smashing idea! i’ve too wondered about every city having the same name streets
Hey i’m still around, just laying low, thanks for checking up on me.

You seriously crack me up with your thoughts!
And about Vegas, girl….you are seriously making me miss it sooooo much!! I’m so ready to book my trip RIGHT NOW! I know, can’t be too impatient. June is coming soon enough :o)
As for the famous scene, I once sat next to Dennis Rodman at a black jack table at the Hard Rock. Okay, so he was at the table next to us but he was RIGHT BEHIND ME!!! I could have touched him if I reached my hand out without extending it…lol! He even dumped his drink on the table and took the towel from the dealer to clean it up himself. I was impressed! :o)
just remember the little people and sometimes it is good to be alone with ones thoughts but not for too long.
I often think the same things! Well, not all the same things. But some of those things. As for the pee – I often wonder where it goes on airplanes and buses… I know there is an answer to that, but I don’t know it!
oh, I know what you mean. When in the car for any length of time my mind goes about a million miles per hour. I m glad you had a blast in Vegas. Still so jealous!
Those are some crazy in depth thoughts indeed! (You SHOULD throw out the scale. You PROMISED.)
I’ve been to Vegas twice. I can’t say I like it (but maybe I’m just not getting enough VIP service when I go?). Luckily, the last time I went was with Mike, and after about two hours he declared that he hated it. So that makes me feel better. (Because not only am I not alone in my confusion of WHY Vegas is considered so awesome, but also I probably won’t have to go back too often, haha.)
I’m glad you had fun!
ooh, sounds like fun! random driving thoughts are the best, as long as you can pay attention to the road. I cant.
I so want to go to Vegas. tell me how to get VIP!!
VIP? Free table service? I have never heard of such things and I am super cute, as are all my girlfriends when I go to vegas. So, I’m betting that its the musing of moi that got you in.
Blog comes from Web Log. And it was slushed together to be bLog. Or something like that.
Doesn’t everyone like your blog?
I don’t think we have a street called Auto-Parkway here.
Throw the scale out. You can do it!!! Jeans don’t lie. They will always tell you what kind of shape you are in! Scales are just BAD.
I think these were fabulous deep thoughts! I don’t allow myself enough of those! Would rather listen to an audio book! 🙂
PS……have you ever driven behind one of those Mexican tour buses and seen the water coming out the backside? Is that pee? Perhaps that’s what would happen if … well, you know which deep thought that was …
