<p>Good News:  I was free to attend <strong>Lori's 40th Staycation </strong>for 7 of us girls after all.  On Saturday night, we stayed overnight in Snobbsdale at the Scottsdale Conference Center which was perfectly unsnobby.  No bed bugs either!  Hurrah! </p>

<p>10.  All girls need periodic slumber parties, whether they're 16, 25, 30s, 40s, 5os and beyond.  It's good for the soul.</p>

<p>9.  If you are in your 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond, you will feel 16 again.</p>

<p>7.  You can eat as much junk food and candy as you want, and no one cares. </p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>6.  You can listen to music and sing and dance and laugh like crazy. </p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>5.  You can crank call each other's rooms at 1:30 in the morning. </p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>4.  Breakfast at the greasy spoon down the street is logical.  Especially after margaritas from the night before. </p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>3.  Lounging poolside the next day is mandatory.  (Poolside Palm Reading optional.  See tomorrow's post for details.)</p>

<p>2.  No one thinks you're crazy for suggesting "Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board" or "Bloody Mary" at midnight. </p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>1.  You can jump on the beds and...yep...laugh like crazy.   </p>
