Columbus seems so small and poorly lit

We're back! We had such a good time in Vegas. Aside from the shin splints, blisters, sunburn and heat rash, it was perfect. I'm not saying that going to the desert when the highs were hovering around 103 was a BAD idea, per se, but next time I'm thinking about going in February. And if we could all work on them getting more trams, I think that would be fabulous. But I really don't want to sound like I'm complaining too much because we had a ton of fun. We had to go to a time-share presentation to get them, but we got discounted tickets to a Cirque du Soleil show that was really cool, we rode the New York, New York roller coaster, we went to Red Rock Canyon (amazing), and we went inside the casinos we missed last time. The Venetian, hello, you are gorgeous! And the Wynn is interesting, too. They have very real-looking astroturf instead of grass on their front lawn area. Surreal. I didn't gamble much, but I did win $100 in a slot machine. We had lots of drinks that night. Party!

The other good news is that my younger sister had her baby boy last Wednesday! He was born 8 pounds, 14 ounces. My gah. But he's doing just fine. I think my sister's body is still in shock from the size of the being that passed through her, but she's well on the road to recovery.

Welcome back!! I am so glad you had a good time and congrats to your sister! Vegas does seem to be very well lit which begs the question of why the police station and labs on CSI are always so dark! I mean, if I were ever a suspect of a crime in LV, i would not want those people testing my DNA in a dark lab. Welcome back!

That's a really good point about CSI. I don't understand why they walk around with flashlights all the time when they could just turn on lights. Morons!
We did have a great time on vacation. I swear, I think my favorite part was not having to cook for a week. Ahhhh.

Not cooking for a week would be fabulous! I have decided to quit trying to kid myself that I SHOULD like to cook, i just don't enjoy it! :) Plus, I am not very good at it...Emma Helen told me last week that something was nasty! Oh well, it WAS pretty gross, thanks, Giada for a yukky recipe! :)

I hear you. I really don't like cooking either. I wish I were one of those people who has good instincts for flavor combinations and what will taste good when you make it, but I'm just not. But that stinks when you try a new recipe and it doesn't turn out good. One day I'll have to tell the story of the onion chicken debacle. So gross.
