The weather that is. And not a day too soon, we were averaging 88 F in the house the last few days and being lucky if it got down to 84 in here at night. We didn't get the thunderstorms yesterday afternoon but they passed by close enough to the south of us that we are now reaping the benefits of cooler days ( Read more... )

The usual start to my day, some slot play and coffee. Not quite as much as usual, we had plans for brunch. A nice brunch. Jasmine Brunch at the Bellagio, to be precise. Reservations had been made for noon, we hopped on the SDX at a decent. We did not count on the Strip being so backed up by construction. It took 20 minutes to get between the 2 ( Read more... )

But lots going on the meantime. My team is out of the playoffs, like you didn't already know that. I have a job, assuming I pass the background check. Nothing fancy or special, just cashier at the neighbourhood grocery store. Not a lot of hours to start, probably 3 shifts a week (15 hours total). Still, I am close by and can be used for on call ( Read more... )

Who, me? Well, maybe just a bit. After all, the Christmas tree is still up. Oh, wait, that's not unusual. I always leave it up until pretty much the end of January. And I have said it will come down this weekend at some point ( Read more... )

At least part of it. It's too early in the morning to remember everything ( Read more... )

For the good wishes. For the lovely snowflakes decorating my profile page. Now the page looks like outdoors, as we're finally having our first snowstorm ( Read more... )

for a private party. Didn't this happen to us before? In any event, I went ahead with the second suggestion and made reservations at Carmello's for 6 p.m.

It's easy to find the place, 300 Sparks. Entry is off Sparks, just west of Bank Street. Reservation is under my last name, in case anyone gets there before me.

Any questions, call my cell 262-

Okay, I know you're interested. Are we going to Coasters or Carmellos? Should probably make a reservation. What time works for everyone? Is 5:30 too early? Would 6 be better?

Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? :D

Okay local peoples, we need to start getting organised if we want to plan a gathering of some sort for December. Instead of leaving things to chance, I'm going to specifically book an evening off for this. Obviously, since I work in retail, it's going to have to be earlier in the month rather than later. My best suggestion is December 4th. That's 2 ( Read more... )

And still sweating on the keyboard. Only up to 89 in here for a couple hours today, then back down to 88. Better than the 96 outside (107 with the humidex), though not by much. Another day in front of the fan. Who'd of thought you could work up such a sweat just folding laundry ( Read more... )
