WEEKEND


I ended my conference and could not be happier. It was a bit boring, but I need the money. Adam and I went to dinner and to see Iron Man--it was good. Although I have always had a small something for Robert Downey Jr. The plot was awesome and the super hero part is always a good thing. Adam and I have been dating for 2 years on the 23rd of May--crazy! So we celebrated with dinner and a movie. Does not seem that long ago that Demmel, Adam, Bloom and I went to the 9:30 club.

Time certainly flies by!
I also have no idea what is up with my Penguins--in true Pittsburgh fashion, they are choking at the end. The Red Wings are kickin ass.

Crazy weather

Well this past week it reached 108 degrees and then Tuesday was a freakin wind storm. We went to see KA and I thought my mom was going to be blown over in the parking lot of MGM Grand. Yesterday was torrential down pours and today was raining and a high of 63 degrees--I was freezing!
I signed up part time with Manpower and I am working my first gig this weekend-a Philippine physicians association conference. A company out of Palm Beach FL could not make it and needed a Rep. so I went through a crash course in radiology and now am the marketing POC for the weekend. Here is the great part--i am the ONLY white person in the entire conference--NO joke. Also, it is like being at the pedicure place--they talk in their language constantly so I have no clue what they are saying. The doctors speak perfect English, but then turn their back and start speaking in their native language--it is frustrating. So, I am spending my weekend with a bunch of extremely wealthy and intelligent Filipino doctors. We are talking these people own their own hospitals and cardiac care centers. I am the only round eye in the bunch!
Oh well--weather is crappy so I would be home anyway.
Hope everyone is having a great memorial day.

Busy weekend




The parents are in town so that means tourist activities. We headed to the Hoover Dam and as you can see the water level has gone down considerably--kind of scary actually. Since the Colorado River is what Las Vegas uses for their water supply.

I took mom and dad to Fremont Street (old Vegas) and I won 150.00 on the slots. My dad ended up hitting 600.00 down at Green Valley Ranch and won some cash on the Preakness. Mom played today and hit 100.00 Wheel of Fortune has been good to us:)


I took my mom to see Jersey Boys on Friday night (her mother's day present). It was a great story-she enjoyed it. We went to Red Rock on Saturday and took some pics and then ended the night with some jazz in the park....good times!


We are going to see KA (cirque show) on Tuesday night and then they catch the red eye Wed evening.

It hit 110 today and Adam is working outside--i am sure the heat will make him totally tired.


Looking forward to seeing Heather in June and Tori is headin out in August...love all the visits!


Much love


XXOO

TUNE IN


My parents are here visiting and we went to the Hoover Dam and have just been hanging out hitting up some happy hour joints and the strip. On Mother's day we took her to the Peppermill (a true Vegas diner) it has been around for over 30 years and then I got tickets to go to the taping of America's Got Talent.
Needless to say it was excruciatingly long. Tune in June 17th for the premiere and you may see Adam and I along with my parents. We had to do this thing in the beginning where we cheered when Jerry Springer threw his arms up in the air. We had to do like 4 or 5 takes and Adam just stood there doing nothing -HA. So--tune in and see if you spot us.

All in all it was pretty cool-Sharon has had some work done and the Hoff was pretty funny--they all had a TON of make up on so they didn't even look like themselves.

As promised




Here is Adam's work van with the Ken doll on the side..HAHAHAHA!!! I think it is hilarious! He really likes his job and has been going to some really ridiculous houses--huge mansions. He said they have beautiful views and awesome pools with water falls, etc.
We had a good weekend. We went to an awesome place for dinner on Saturday night..mexican meets seafood. It was the Rockin Baja Lobster cantina. Buckets of seafood for 30.00 and cold beer--can't beat it. We went to Lake Las Vegas today. It is about 20 minutes from our pad and it is a resort...absoulutely beautiful. It is a golfer's dream..a golf resort on a lake with a casino, shops and plenty of bars. My parents are coming on Thursday so we have some stuff planned: Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, Lake Las Vegas, Red Rock and of course the strip. I am taking my mom to see Jersey Boys for Mother's day so it will be a good time.

Oh, and LET's GO PENS...the RANGERS WERE SHUT OUT-WOO HOO!!

Heather is coming June 9th so I am thrilled with all the visits.

Miss all of you. 80's with a beautiful breeze all weekend...i cannot get over that I live here.
