Well I have been letting this one stew a few weeks, since we got back from Vegas. I wasn't sure how to write it. Particularly since it has been a while since I've written anything other than a few short blog entries here and there. But I need to get back to it.
Those of you who know me, know that I change the names, and any dialog I write is as close as I can remember it, but I make no claims that it's dead in. But the stories are true.
So we went to Las Vegas. Paul has a client who works in the Broadcast industry and it seems they have a convention out there every year. He was working most days with engineers and I was a lazybones, sleeping in each day, having long lunches with a book. (I almost never get to read much these days.), and late in the afternoon going by the pool.
In a way, it was kind of discouraging though. Vegas is full of young women with these perfect bodies and I was beginning to feel old and fat. I know, at 42 I am not really old, but honestly, I could not hold a candle to those girls on the best day of my life.
Evenings were sort of discouraging too. Paul dressed me up and I won't lie and say I didn't get more than a few looks with my corseted cleavage and high heels, but still I found myself surrounded by all these young gals, and I was sort of down about it.
Each night, after supper, Paul had to attend some receptions with his client. "Mostly engineers" he told me. I was not looking forward to it. Paul had packed me a lot of pretty sexy things to wear at night, and I had this image of a bunch of old fat engineering geeks slobbering over me. Not a turn on.
But I had promised him I would go, and as it turned out, most of them were really young, just out of college or so, and full of fun. I didn't mind THEIR admiration, and they were full of it.
