Weekend

I was exhausted from working this past week at the VMware convention. Scott flew in on Friday and we had a pretty low key weekend. I did not do much but I think he and Adam had a good time: the Hoover dam, some gambling, etc. This week is just all about getting back to normal: gym schedule, job searching, running errands..all the fun stuff.
Hope everyone had a good weekend

Awesome weather

The weather is so great here right now..mid 90's but with no humidity, it is perfect pool weather. I am going to be working with Manpower all week for a Virtual reality convention (geek fest) -it attracts thousands of people into Vegas so the strip will be a virtual nightmare (great pun, I know). I am working 12 and 14 hr days so bring on the overtime. Then Bloom flies in on Friday. It will be busy...

UPDATE

Lorie and Emily will be here at the end of October! Lorie is going to swing by for Halloween on her way to Hawaii and Em has to use a ticket--so she will be here as well. I am super excited and cannot wait to "hit Vegas" for Halloween with my ladies. Good times!
Hope everyone takes a few minutes out of their day to remember the tragedies that our country faced this day 7 years ago. Can you believe it has been that long? My girls and I hit up Atlanta a few weeks following for a bachelorette party. I cannot believe it was that long ago.

A little drama in the post office

I have witnessed my share of freak outs: it usually involves people having too much to drink or some sort of a language barrier, but today was a new one for me. I am patiently waiting in line to mail a package when this lady starts to yell very loudly, "I want to see your supervisor, I do pick up my mail!" Based on the one sided conversation I heard, it appears that the post office has stopped delivering to their address because the mailbox is always full and they are telling this woman that she must go to the post office to pick up her mail. She proceeds to call someone on the phone and get crazy. Then the swearing begins and she is thrown out of the post office. Yes, escorted out and told that she is in a federal building and this is a federal offense. It was quite entertaining. What was not entertaining was her young child (about 6 or 7 years old) cowering behind her, clearly embarrassed. So, that was my excitement for the day and a woman who was very under dressed at the grocery store. I am sure you can draw conclusions--let's just say there was nothing left to the imagination and she should have been escorted out.

This week

The only real thing happening this week and all over the news here is OJ is in Vegas on trial for armed robbery and kidnapping. I am sure it is a challenge to find a jury. Let's see if he gets convicted this time..
Wonder what the new saying will be? Remember, "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit!"

10 inches

Adam got 10 inches off his hair today!! It was totally his idea he just did not want to go and get it cut to a bob. I found a funky stylist in town and she did a great job..Very Anthony Kiedis/Dave Grohl. He is donating the pony tail to locks of love and in the other hand is his direct TV remote. He is in love with direct TV, now he will never want to leave the pad. Although the first 4 months HBO is free and my boys are coming back on tomorrow night!!! You know it: Vince, Drama, E, Turtle and Ari...ENTOURAGE

If you cut your hair and it is 10 inches please make a donation..great cause:

Strip news

So, I turn on the news this am and a lady was stabbed in the lobby of Bally's at 5:00am this morning. Interesting how a person can be stabbed in a hotel lobby and the only description is, "We are looking for a black female." Well, that sure narrows it down.

We are getting Direct TV today so I am a hostage in my apt until they come with their ridiculous 6 hour window. It is football season and Adam is determined to get his Direct TV. Hope all is well out there.

Labor Day

Hey all-
Adam and I were going to go to Mt. Charleston today to do some hiking (about 30 miles from our pad) but he did not want to go hiking on his day off so we went to lunch and checked out a movie..Tropic Thunder-it was hilarious. Tom Cruise is ridiculous in the movie-you have never seen him in a role like this. I of course adored Robert Downey Jr. as the Aussie playing a black man.
We will go to Mt. Charleston at some point..it is our local ski resort. It is always 20 to 30 degrees cooler.
Have a great Labor day.

Since my man is a history buff i added an element at the bottom of the page, "this day in history." (I know, NERD).
