Throwback Thursday
That time I wore a Holly Golightly dress to a Breakfast at Tiffany’s tea and it was too short. One of the things I dislike most about Vegas is the lack of afternoon tea options. Basically, unless you want to go to the Strip, walk through a resort, and pay upwards of $30 per person, there aren’t any options. I’ve been to each afternoon tea in town and while a couple have been nice, a couple were quite sad really. Not worth the money. We have a Royal Tea Society here in Vegas and I snoop their site from time to time. I always love the idea of taking my…

Random Posts of July #8
I am loving today’s Blog Everyday in July prompt because it lets me bitch a bit! Here is the prompt: Sorry Not Sorry I block feeds on FB for people who talk too much about their relationships/weddings/babies/etc. I’m happy for you. I am. But seriously, nobody finds these things as intriguing as you do and nobody needs to see five posts a day about it. Yes,your baby is cute. I look at FB feeds for updates on my friends lives but I don’t need a minute by minute set of posts about your wedding crafts or how happy you are that you’re getting married and you’re so in love etc.…

Lately
This post is rather difficult to write. I usually try to stick with happy positive posts because I always wanted this blog to be a happy positive place where I could see the fun parts and the good memories. That said, it’s also MY place, so I feel if I’m going to vent somewhere, it should be here. The last couple weeks have been consumed dealing with something that’s manifested a lot lately. I think it’s been an issue for a long time but it’s never been more noticeable than it is now. I’ve been letting the blog queue write itself which really helps because I haven’t had the energy…

Scrapping Saturday
This week I’m sharing a page I scrapped for the Vegas Restaurant Week. Vegas foodies are pretty serious about their Restaurant Weeks. We now have two a year, one in spring and one in fall. A number of the best restaurants in town have preset menus and a portion of the proceeds for each goes directly to Three Square; our local food bank and one of the best and most noble charities in town. Back in 2011, I got to attend the kick off party which was hosted at Studio 54. A number of local restaurants and performers partnered for the event so it was a big food and show…

A Day in the Life
Hello all! So I get asked all the time even by my own close friends- “When do you work?” I know I travel a lot and go to a lot of shows and that’s featured quite prominently on the blog so I thought I would clear a few things up. I rarely post about that stuff because seriously, who wants to know what I bought at Walmart? I line up my queue carefully, do a lot of features on older events/trips, and split up the bigger ones so that you don’t end up with one super long post that just gets boring because I talk too much (kind of like…

Throwback Thursday
Another Throwback Thursday! I’m trying to schedule these out so I can actually be consistent… I make no promises. 🙂 That time I went to a Playboy party. This week we’re having a look at the Midsummer Night’s Dream party. Back a few years ago, Playboy would host this party here in vegas at the Palms and it was always amazing. There’s usually a fun theme as well but this year it was just a masquerade. The party is typically about $150 per person since it includes open bar but those of us with some hook-ups get in for free. 🙂

Great ways to piss off…
The driver on your roadtrip. On roadtrips, I usually drive because I like driving and I have a pretty good sense of direction. All of my roadtrip companions have been pretty considerate, but the following would probably make me toss them out. Sleeping the whole way. My friend Marissa and I made a short roadtrip to LA once a few years back with a really annoying girl who decided she would sleep the whole trip home rather than help us stay awake at midnight. She also yelled at us for telling ghost stories to stay awake… wasn’t she supposedly sleeping??? Complaining about the route or constantly saying we’re going the…

It’s National Junk Food Day
In case that wasn’t enough encouragement, it’s also Monday. I shall be celebrating this important holiday with a peanut butter Kit Kat bar and some flaming hot Cheetos. Oh and I’ll break out another box of Count Chocula. I think I have six boxes left. That should hold me over until October just fine… I think… What’s your fave junk food?

1. What is the most difficult thing you have been through?When my dad had open heart surgery. It was two years ago and I quit my job and my mom and I went to stay with him for two months for his recovery. It was really sad seeing my dad so weak and in pain. But it was nice to spend so much time with it and I did get to reconnect with someone special that summer too. 🙂 2. What was your best birthday?My birthday in 2012 was pretty awesome. Becca and I went to the American Country Awards, I had a party at Stoney’s and rode the…
