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!

Buffalo Wild Wings

When I was going to Michigan State University, my friends and I would always go to BW3's for hot wings. They always had a variety of flavored wings from Honey BBQ to steaming hot, hot, death wings. Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...

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 ...

The Lost Art of Letter Writing

This week I was the recepient of two postcards. In the age of e-mailing and blogging this is a rare occurrrance. It's not that people don't write anymore it's just they are doing it in different forms and I think in less personal forms. It's kinda sad when you think about it. For me, there is nothing better then getting a hand written letter in the mail because it means someone was specifically thinking about you. Writing a letter these days takes a lot of effort when GMail is so near. I mean a person has to pick out stationary (if they even have any on hand), find time to sit down and compose a letter (and who has a spare half hour these days?), find or buy a stamp and actually walk the letter to the mailbox. With all this effort, no wonder people email these days! My girlfriend Becky and I joke that the United States Postal Service has become "Snail Mail." Most times before a letter gets to us these days we already know the information inside ...
