Okay…now, I am no Almighty D when it comes to bargain shopping (seriously, she walks out of Target, Rite Aid, the grocery store with a land yacht full of stuff for $10 – I should call her Almighty D, the shopping goddess) but I have developed a few edicts for shopping throughout the last few…

Books
So, I am going to give a big thumbs up to a website I recently discovered: www.bookmooch.com. Basically, it is a book trading website. If I have a copy of Random Chick-lit Book #4 but I don’t want it any more, I can list it in my “inventory.” If you want a copy of Random…
So sleepy…
(and yes, I know that while I am sleepy, my brother and his wife are drop dead exhausted) So, today was a day I call SUPER PAYROLL WEDNESDAY. The workday started at 5 am. Ugh, I hate getting up early. And since sooooomeone insisted on watching all 55 hours of the Celebrity Apprentice finale show…
Aunty
So I’m an aunt again – my first niece! Macauley/Bill and his wife Michelle had their daughter on Sunday evening. 7 lbs, 3 oz, 20 1/4 inches. Brown hair, eyes are TBD. YAY!!!!! I have seen a few pictures on Michelle’s Facebook and the happy family are adorable! Can’t wait to meet her!
Las Vegas, see you in 2022!*
So, we’re home. We’ve actually been home about 24 hours, though. The flights were fine and getting to fly first class from Las Vegas to Texas was really nice. I was reminded of this on the flight from Texas to Cheesecake City, which I spent in the middle seat between Gene and some twentysomething guy…
Last day…
I hate the last day of vacation. By this time tomorrow I will be in the sky, flying from Las Vegas to an unnamed city in Texas that rhymes with Chew-stun. (On the bright side, I have 3 words for you: first class upgrade!). (Seriously, like I didn’t pay enough for my flight, now they…
Holy cow it’s Wednesday???
(And the day is half over in the Eastern time zone??) So, yesterday. Gene was supposed to have lunch and dinner with various people from the conference he’s here to attend. I decided to take the monorail to the stop for the Venetian, the Mirage and (I think) Treasure Island, see what there was to…
Monday, Monday
(I am so boring. Why can’t I come up with zingy blog post titles?) Still no gambling, still no drinking. Still the dorkiest girl walking around Las Vegas. Woohoo! I had intended on getting out of the room by 9:30 (so I could enjoy a lovely buffet breakfast as part of my $35 all you…
And today…
(Today is Sunday still but it’s midnight in Cheesecake City). Got up, kicked Gene out of the hotel room (again). Bought a monorail ticket because I’d be darned if I was going to do that much walking again (hahahahah). Eventually met up with Gene and two of his coworkers and had lunch at Mandalay. After…
Weekend in Vegas…
So, I think I now understand why most people don’t stay a week in Las Vegas: After about 4 days, their feet fall off. (I take that back: I am pretty sure my mom could do all the walking I have done today and then go run a mini marathon. As you know, my mother…
