Sunday Accomplishments

By that title, you would think I have accomplished a ton.  Not so much.  But for a lazy Sunday after a week on the road for work and a Saturday in wine country, I really have accomplished more than I expected. 
Slept in a little, downloaded some pics, ordered some new furniture, checked-in for my red-eye flight tonight, watched about 6 hours of DVD shows, finished up the final loads of laundry, sent a few emails.... Not bad 5 hours.

But, my main accomplishment today has been increasing my technological intelligence.  Seriously, I had no clue how much fun I could have with my new Ipad once I was actually self-educated on all of it's many wonders.  I could sit on the couch with this thing all day.  For real.. What took me so long!? I feel smart!

Only a few more things on my "to do" list today before I head to the airport at 10:45PM tonight. Sigh.  Big sigh here.  Ugh.  But for now.... I think sitting outside in the sun with my latest issue of US Weekly is on the agenda.

Happy Sunday everyone.

Deja Vu of Vegas

I am behind again... Please forgive me as I have sinned: it has been 2 weeks since my last post. I came back from a fabulous cruise and have not been back on my blog since. Shame on me. But I did just spend the last 7 (yes 7) days in Las Vegas and lived to post about it. I say déjà vu because I am quite sure I have posted some of these same comments to come in the past.

Here is what stands out to me most about Vegas this week:
The lobby at the Bellagio is very pretty
The smoke in Vegas is extremely annoying
Terry Fator is a great entertainer
People should look in the mirror (front & back) before they leave their hotel room
Not really sure how all those expensive shops pay their rent and stay open
Why does it take so long to check-in at every darn hotel?
The walk from the MGM to their conference center is ridiculously long
Bellagio has an amazing spa
Vegas makes tasty Sangria and Bellini's
The salsa at Diego at MGM is some of the best I have ever had
2 blocks in Vegas really equals 1 mile
Did I mention more mirrors are required?

That pretty much sums up the past several days in sin city. And I never sinned. Well... Maybe just once. And it was worth it.
