Screw wholesome ... it's time to debauch.

I�m trying to figure out where I am with those stages of grief. You know, the Elizabeth Kubler-Ross stages you�ve heard about �

Anger
Sadness
Snarkiness
Wanting to break things
Withdrawal
Sullenness
Bitchiness

I�ve already touched on all of them � as a matter of fact, I cycle through these emotions about once an hour.

Blue sent me a text message on my phone while I was at work today � he wants to know if I want to go to Vegas for the weekend.

My gut reaction was, �Naah.� Because I immediately starting thinking of all of the negatives.

I don�t have anything to wear but maternity pants
I�m still tired and having some pain from the surgery
We�d have to arrange for the dog to go to his kennel and the cat sitter to come
I�m not ready to have fun, I want to cocoon and sulk for longer

Then I started thinking of the positives.

Blue and I can reconnect, away from home, away from work, and away from everything that reminds me of the pregnancy
It would be FUN
It might be the last Vegas hurrah, because I may actually get pregnant in March and there�s no drinking or hanging out in smoke-filled casinos after the pregnancy
It would be FUN
I could just let my hair down and do some gambling of the non-pregnancy type

So I�m actually starting to think it�s a good idea. I�d rather go to a beach somewhere � but then again, I might get harpooned because I�m very whale-like with all that retained water after last week�s surgery. Plus I have no bathing suit that would fit the bloat and I�ll be damned if I buy a �fat� bathing suit.

So Vegas might be the right place to go. Can�t be wholesome and pregnant? Go debauch for a weekend.

I�m feeling better already.
