This I know for sure...

You cannot pick your family. Thankfully I have respectful, loving children and a respectful loving husband. :)

HELP!!

I'm working on my editorial for the News-Gazette. Last night between the hours of 1:oo a.m. and 3:30 a.m. it came to me that I should write about 'Second Chances'. I think this opens up a lot of discussion and thought and that it will incorporate my passion which is the community and also day-to-day things that people give a 'Second Chance' to. :-) If you have an suggestions, I'm open to them.

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas...

If that is the case, then this is the end of my post. But we had so much fun in Vegas and I’m dying to share what we did. (In no particular order)

1. Hoover Dam – where we were cautioned to not use the “L” word. I didn’t get it, it was leak. Also, I didn’t get a dam hat. There was only one option and it was not my look.
2. Motion Rides at the Excalibur – where I hope to work when I retire.
3. Freemont Street – Where the Little River Band played a most awesome concert.
4. Draw Poker – One of my newest fun games that I’m going to perfect before my next trip to Vegas.
5. Pooling it – It takes up part of your day when it’s 100 outside.
6. Massage, Mani & Pedi – Enough said.
7. Mon Ami Gabi – Lunch at my favorite restaurant.
8. Outlet Malls – although I didn’t spend much money, they had good options for shopping that weren’t outrageous.
9. Fireworks at Caesers Palace – They were right when they said they would be the best in the world. These were the best I have ever seen.
10. My ability to come home with money in my pocket. .

No, folks, I didn’t win. I know, most people say they did when they didn’t. I was indeed up at times but being honest, I need to factor in the losses. I did my ‘little’ part to help the economy in Vegas.

People watching is always interesting in Vegas. I think it is one of the best places that I have ever been to truly have the diversity of people in one area. And for me it particularly nice because my husband said to me on numerous occasions, ‘Have I told you I’m glad I’m married to you?’ I hear it more in Vegas than anywhere.

Anyway that is our trip in a nutshell. It was great and I can’t wait to go back. I really prefer to go when it’s hot out because there are many more options.
