Vegas Fun...

I believe most people go to Vegas to gamble and party, but for me I go mainly to have a good night sleep along with a little gambling. I'm really not a Vegas kind of girl, but The Cosmopolitan continues to comp rooms for me so I continue to go.In fact, as soon as we got home there's an email from them offering two free nights for June or July.( I think we need to quit using our player card) It's not that I don't appreciate the offers, it's just not a place that I can frequent every month.
 http://www.cosmopolitanlasvegas.com/stay/rooms-and-suites.aspx We had one of their Terrace Suites on the 69th floor this time with a beautiful view of the city. I decided I could probably be happy and content living in a little high rise overlooking a city, but not in Vegas.


As usual I had my typical bad experience with food. I don't eat out much so maybe that's part of the problem, but I didn't have one good meal that I can brag about. All of the reviews for the Wicked Spoon raved on how great the food is. The only good that I can say is that the dessert bar was amazing - delicious! There were plenty of options and everything I tried was pretty impressive. I also have a teeny complaint regarding the casino, well not the casino I guess - just a waitress. As I sat at the slot machine playing I noticed the waitress passing me at least eight times never offering me a drink, but she made sure to service the men at the slot machines. Finally I walked over to my husband and here she comes asking him if he wants another drink. He said yes and asked if I wanted anything. She looked at me and said, "Can I get you something?" I said, " Now you're asking me - you walked by me eight times." She replied with, " Really, I didn't see you." Hmm... you didn't see me, pretty sure you did! The conversation ended with her saying, "Oh, I'm sorry, best of luck to you!" I heard and felt the sarcasm in the best of luck to you. My thought was you're just lucky I'm a lot older and calmer, because there would have to be some re-adjusting of that tone - End of Story! But overall it was a nice little escape. We took lots of selfies with backgrounds that we thought were awesome but you can't see in the pictures, and we both look 10 pounds heavier and in need of a nose job. What can I say - we suck at taking selfies.

Breathtaking 

I got my rest, had great moments, and the company was great! That's all that matters to me.

I left early this morning to get some shopping done, and I have to be honest - not ready to be sold on Christmas  I know it's the way retail works - I put many years into that industry, but I truly hate how overly commercialized Christmas is. They brainwash people and kids into thinking they have to have the newest and best of everything, and most people buy into the lie.  But what about the kids that their parents can't fall into the trap because financially they just can't do it. Are they made fun of or shunned by their peers because they don't have the newest clothes, gadgets, or toys?  Do they feel inferior or not worthy enough to receive - according to the advertisers you have to have it. It's not fair or right and I hate it!                                                               I think we all need to ...

When I saw this I thought what a perfect gift for my husband. You see he bought me a television for the bedroom years ago and hung it on the wall before most people were hanging them on the wall. Of course with the TV came a remote - so it's my remote, right?  Really the only time he touches it is when I lose it - (which I do daily) he seems to be the one that always finds it so I think wrapping the remote and letting him use it for a day with some candy attached is perfect! I hope I can actually give it up for a day - he's not a fan of Bravo or HGTV.   http://willowbirdbaking.com/2012/04/25/gooey-chocolate-skillet-cake-ice-cream-sundae/  Also, I came across this cake which is pretty much the same recipe as my Texas Sheet Cake. I just never thought of baking it in my cast iron skillet and digging the center out to fill with ice cream... yum! We're all a fan of chocolate so this might make the Father's Day dessert list. Yesterday I put a cheesecake recipe up th...

Friendship Day

HAPPY NATIONAL FRIENDSHIP DAY! Those that know me well know that I'm not big on all of these designated days, unless of course it's National Wine Day; but friendship was already on my mind before I realized what day it was. I have a small circle of friends because my friendships are extremely important to me. I value them and I never take the relationship for granted. I know that my friends are one of God's many blessings to me - I'm grateful for each and everyone of them. Here's what being my friend boils down to: There's certain expectations that I have with my friends - unspoken but known. Such as trust & honesty. I want to be able to share my life, both good and bad without worry of it being repeated. I want them to be honest with me regardless if I want to hear it or accept it. If I messed up tell me, because I'm sure going to tell you. I hate being too serious - I love having random conversations that make me laugh. I have a sense of hu...
