Happy 11th Birthday to Sasha!!!

So proud of my intelligent, creative, stylish, funny, beautiful girl.  Such a strong, empathetic, kind, original personality. A silent highlight of our recent Vegas trip was hearing how many random strangers would comment on her sense of style which is very true!

Piff the Magic Dragon

One of the highlights of our Vegas Trip was seeing this act…

Saturday Snap – I’m Rich! (Well, technically my mom is!) ;-)

I didn’t put a nickel of my own money during our week in Vegas but did a bit on behalf of a friend (lost at both slots and roulette) and won a whopping $4.75 at the airport on $20 my mom wanted me to gamble for her. This “big win” was just as I was […]

Believe It Or Not, Drug Stores Are One of the Most Profitable Businesses on the Las Vegas Strip

I mean, when a margarita from a bar in a casino costs you $20 (plus tip!) and you can buy a canned margarita or beer that’s bigger than your head for $4.99 and drink it openly on the Strip since it’s legal to do so, (not to mention buying basic groceries, snacks, pop, souvenirs, etc. […]

Secular Sunday – God Works in Mysterious Ways

This is probably too soon and I’m going to burn in hell for saying it. But if you’re religious, you probably think 45 pilgrims dying and one 8-year old girl surviving means that little girl is blessed by god and not that there is no god (or if there is, he doesn’t really interact in […]

Friday Fun Link – Big Elvis

We may see this guy in Vegas and I’m secretly thinking it might be one of those unexpected highlights of the trip based on the YouTube clips I’ve seen…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Elvis Is My Uncle? (May 2011)

My cousin in Calgary was surprised when some friends arranged for an Elvis impersonator to come to her 50th birthday celebration. This coincided with my aunt and uncle, also in Calgary, having their 50th Anniversary so it became a bit of a mini-family reunion. A picture of all aunts and uncles present made me imagine […]

Music Monday – “I’m free/It took me in my whole life/I got the keys to the cages/I’m ready for bright lights”

Wish I’d been able to see U2 at The Sphere (extra jealous talking to a coworker yesterday who said they’d been!) but YouTube videos will have to suffice… “Atomic City” – U2

Secular Sunday – Elvis Presley Wedding Chapel

Did I mention we’re going to Vegas for Easter?   What’s that old line – if money is your God, then Vegas is Heaven?  And I think that makes Elvis the analogy’s Jesus. 😉
