Pinky's Adventure ...

I work at 6 am Monday thru Friday and am by myself in the office for the first two hours. I don't get many calls, so I have a lot of free time on my hands and that's how the adventures of Pinky started.

He's a mischievous monster ...





I finally had to place him in time out ...



He apologized to the other puff ball heads, and they all became bestest of friends ...



THE END - TIL NEXT TIME

Nascar ...

My good girlfriends cousin races in NASCAR and this year her family had two extra tickets. She was nice enough to ask if we wanted to join them. Her cousin is Matt Kenseth and he drives Best Buy's car number 17. This race he was still sponsored by Best Buy, but has a special "Zest" car. He wasn't hard to miss at all in his aqua blue race car. He won the Daytona 500 a few weeks prior so we were really excited to see him race here in Las Vegas.




We found out a few days prior that our other friends Brandon and Christina were also going to the race, so we rode together and roamed the grounds before finding our seats with my friend and her family.




Matt started out the race at positin 11 (he had a really goo trial) and within 45 minutes he passed his tenth car to take the number one spot. Unfortunatly he only stayed there for about 20/30 laps until the pace car and yellow flag came out. Almost every car pitted, but a few and he dropped down to 3rd. It was really neat since we got to listen in on the radio conversations of Matt and his crew as the whole race went on.





Finally the last 10 laps came and he was in a three way tie for second and he went too high and hit the wall. nothing too bad, but just enought to fall way behind. We had a blast though. It was our first Nascar race and hopefully we can make it to next years.

Bret's In The Army Now ...

Our good friend Bret has both worked me and Justin in the past three years. He's such a good guy, someone you can always count on. So when we found out that he was going to be leaving valet and joing the Army as a MP, we had gto do somethign special for him. My sister and I started planning a surprise going away party. We invited pool, spa, and valet people to toast him the best.



He loaded up on gifts, some practical and some not so practical. camo underwear, stationary, military coin, watch, toiletries, ect ..





And to ties the night down was arm wrestling twin no.1 vs twin no.2

Valentines #7 ...

This year marked out seventh valentines day together. We did our traditional Top of the World dinner at the Stratosphere. It probaly was one of the most fun dates there ever. Not sure if we were just so giggly to start with but we were being completley entertained by the couples sitting right by the window. The first couple was comstantly on their phones or one of them would be missing from the table. Couple number two with a third wheel made their dining experience a photography session taking dozens and dozens of pictures. The final couple was the most normal but she was pretty drunk and when the faux dessert tray came around on the outskirts she kept poking at all the different kinds. It all made for a funny night.

New Job ...

I'm so excited. After four and a half years working in the spa at MGM I am transfering. I love the area I work in. My hours are great, and I have made so many good friends that I get to see on a day to day basis. Luckily not much is changing. As of now, concierge does all of our appointment booking and they probaly screw up 25% of the appointments. The department pays some ridiculace amount each month so they could take care of our phone calls. Way to drop the ball. So in a few weeks we will be opening up our very own call center that oversees everything. Already knowing the system and services I jumped at this oppurtunity to help open the call center. I'm going to be number one in senority and help train out new hires. And even better news I will only be a hop skip and a jump away from my old stomping grounds. Very easy to stop by for some coffee.

Justin surprised me with a congradulations gift the other day for getting my new job. I have always loved this diamond necklace from Tiffany&Co. And yes diamonds are expensive, but Tiffany diamonds are super expensive. So I have just drooled from a safe distance. Not anymore! Its a Elsa Peretti platnium diamond by the yard necklace. I'm in LOVE!

Kristine's Baby Shower ...

I hosted Kristine's baby shower for Aubrey. Everything was pink Pink PINK! It was more laid back than the baby shower I threw for Brayden. I cut the games, so it gave us girls more time to chit chat and catch up with some of the other girls that we don't see everyday at work anymore. The best thing about throwing a girl baby shower is a lot more fun shopping for.

Happy Birthday Kimy ...

Yesterday was Kimy's Birthday. I surprised her with a nail appointment at work. I decorated the room with a balloon and a bunch of little goodies. Later that night the whole family met up at Sierra Gold for dinner and drinks. After we met Alyssa and Corey at Double Helix. We have never been there, so we were trying it for the first time. It was a nice and laid back kind of place. Couches, big plush chairs, and really cool colored glass lamps.

Happy Birthday to my baby sister !!!

Happy New Year ...

We hope your 2012 is fantastic !!!
