From a non-MS related issue. Nope, this time the issue is Vegas. Sheesh - I'm tired!! Course, when you average going to bed at around 2 in the morning and getting up around 8 or 9, plus a lot of walking aaround and sight-seeing. Luckily, this was not my first time to the city that never sleeps so I didn't have to hit all the main tourist spots that I did last time. Course, I still haven't seen the pirate ship sinking at Treasure Island....
We all gathered in that wonderful sin city for a friend's 50th birthday party. We had a blast!! And, I got to see the divine Miss M up close and personal!! She is so freakin amazing!! I love Bette Midler!!! And her show was soooooo gooooooooood!!! Hilarious and yet very touching, I cried through my laughter throughout my show.
So, today I was able to take off just to rest. And, not because of horrible fatigue but just because I needed it. That's only the 2nd time this year that I have taken a day off not due to vacation or sickness!! I had to tell my supervisor this morning that I was fine, I just wanted to take the day off. She laughed and said that was a new one for me!! And, then granted my request. That's okay - I'll take them donuts tomorrow. They probably know that, too!!
Course, the day I get to be a bit lazy and just do some laundry from the trip and finish unpacking - the cable goes out!! Shnikeys! I hate comcast, I really do. I miss Time Warner Cable. They reset the box and it still doesn't work. I'll wait til the honey gets home and puts her technical mind to work on it - if that doesn't work then I guess we'll have to call a tech out.
I didn't take even close to as many pics on this little trip but I did take a few... including this one of my appetizer of fried green tomatoes topped with goat cheese and chicken salad (made with balsamic vinagrette). I would have never imagined the taste that came from that... here's the picture of the original presentation! Amazing - so, if you ever get to Vegas and want to go where the locals go and don't mind going off strip - The Hash House is the place for you! If you go at lunch - have your leather on cuz that's when the original bikers come out that originally made the place!!
jinxed !!

Isn't Vegas geat! Even better to be tired bevasue you had a good time and NOT because rain Wreck Gstique has rolled into your station! Take a few naps. Hopwfully, that Texas heat and humifity isn't too bad!
Could you please install the scratch and sniff feature on your blog if'n you're going to post mouth-watering pictures of food?!?
That and Bette Midler...I'm jealous! But sure glad you had a great time!
Glad you had a great time. Vegas is a trip from which you definitely need a recovery day. Skip and I used to go twice a year. We'd typically take the redeye home on Friday nite and need all the way thru Sunday to feel back to normal. Oh, yeah, then there's always all that laundry.
Yeppers - I spent the Monday recovery day doing the laundry!! I know - I wish I could have brought some of that home with me!! You should have seen the tenderloin covered in a thin sheet of baked mozzerella!!! OMG!!
