"Now that we're married," John started the first night back in our Vegas apartment, "there's going to be some rules around here."
My eyes opened with terror.
"Rule No. 1: You're not allowed to stop being fun."
"Rule No. 2: You have to do everything I say."
"Wait," I interrupted, "How do you spell annulment?"
I woke up the next morning feeling a little strapped down. At first John was surprised I said that, then he said, "Good."
As my first bit of wife-rebellion I went out and got my hand and toe-nails painted blue with glitter on top. It didn't work, we both really liked it. Looks like I'm obeying Rule No. 1.
So, there you have it. I spent the first week in a daze, still entertaining guests, avoiding email, slowing getting back to work, and planning our Roadie. After the WSOP ends we'll go to L.A. for a quick b-day party, then up to Seattle to house sit on this awesome cattle ranch about an hour south of the city. It's our friend Jenn's parents place and they're off to Ireland for a month. We won't be there that long but it's going to be fun exploring Puget Sound as Mr. and Mrs. C and going to Mariner's games with our friends Steve and Sarah.
That's all for now. Please don't call me Mrs. Caldwell. It makes me feel old. We like the Happy Days version of Mr. and Mrs. C. I saw Otis; last night, he highly approves.
CURRENT: Las Vegas, NV
NEXT: Los Angeles to Tenino, WA

You woke up feeling a little strapped down?!!
Too much information! (You have to think of a safe word that you can remember!)
Wish I was able to attend, looks it was a lot of fun.
