Vegas Movie Night

This month Movie Night took us to Vegas. The monthly event was basically an excuse for all of us Movie Night group members to go to Vegas and to see our good buddy, Jung. Jung has started the summer out right, by moving from crazy LA to crazy Vegas! No one, not even Jung himself, knows how long he will be there but its obvious he is having a good time renting a house and finding good places to eat. He even made up a "Bucket List" of restaurants to try out.

We hadn't plan to make the drive until Friday morning but Brian got out of work way early on Thursday so we were able to leave LA around 10PM. With our blow up air matress in tow, we spent the first night of our trip crashing in Jung's front office.

Movie Night took place in the afternoon on Friday and when the Bosgul took off to celebrate Madam Bosgul's birthday at 6PM, we headed over to the fabulous RED ROCK to begin our two night stay in the most glorious bed I have ever slept in, a Sealy Posterpedic! See Photo Below. The hotel was a totally hip and modern place. There was no hint of cheesy theme at this resort. With tons of restaurants, a fab pool and an amazing spa we couldn't go wrong. The place even had its own bowling alley, 12 screen movie theatre, dance clubs and adventure spa (kayaking, hiking, horse back riding, etc).

Brian and I had a great time staying at RED ROCK. It's one of Vegas' newest hotels but it's not located on the strip. For us, that was a good thing. We had a good time chillin' in some fluffy robes in our nice new, chocolate brown room. When not in the room, we relaxed at the spa, had rockin' good sushi with Jon, Danielle and Jung, pooled it up in the awesome pool area, saw rocker Slash, who performed in our room (you can ask us later what that means), ate a ton at their great buffet and yep, did a tiny bit of gambling (damn craps! but love Keno!).

Here are a few pics from our visit to Red Rock. I can't wait to return and sleep in that glorious bed! Their bed was so comfy that we decided it was time to retire our 10 year old mattresss for something new, hopefully posterpedic new. Alas, my posterpedic dreams will have to wait a bit while the fun fund builds up again but its nice to have something new to dream about!

Random Thoughts as the Weekend Closes

Today I got a friend request from my mother-in-law. Will she embrace the FaceBook? We wait and see. Technology is cool...I got to speak to my friend in Hong Kong today. The BlindSide is a really heartwarming and good movie. I didn't know what to expect. I saw Sandra in blond hair and I thought cheesy. Now I can't decide whether I want her or Meryl to win the Oscar. Cats are really nice creatures. I haven't really had much exposure to one before. I especially like the fact that you can hold them like babies. I wonder if I stole Mr. Chuckles if anyone would notice? hum. Bartenders blowing fire makes for an interesting drink at the bar. Plantains are better when they come with your meal and not as an appetizer. I met a man who wanted to see Leap Year. Krueger continues to take jobs that suck ass and take up her precious time. Sorry CougarTown screwed ur day up Krugs. We missed u at the movies today. Ever since I got Mo I have meet the most interesting people ...

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Time Is Flying

Man, back in September and October, I thought time was going by so slowly but now that we are in November and half way through it, it seems like time is flying once again. Maybe that has a little bit to do with me being a lady of leisure these days. My doctor put me on bedrest for the remainder of my pregnancy. I went into his office all stressed out over the situation at work in early November and he said "this Friday, November 4th, will be your last day." I was like "Excuse me?" Doc put me on disability because stress is bad for the gestational diabetes I already have and for the apparent high blood pressure reading I had that day and some of my tests indicated I was at risk for pre-eclampsia. My new job, is to go to the hospital for neonatal stress tests, twice a week, on Monday's and Thursday's with a weekly OBGYN appointment on Thursday's after my hospital appointment. Throw in some eye doctor appointments with an eye specialist (apparen...
