Diamond and I just returned from a brief sojourn in Las Vegas. We left snow, returned to snow, and in between I managed to get a sunburn - really, who thinks about bringing sunscreen in the midst of flurries?
While Diamond was losing money on the slot machines (despite the fact that I was continually making fun of him and telling him that they don't build these big hotels by GIVING money away) I managed to out-cheap myself. I actually made him switch casinos once I found out that Planet Hollywood doesn't give away *free* virgin daiquiris. That's $20 less of our hard earned money THEY'LL be seeing...
But Vegas is all about getting something for nothing, and we did manage to score two free airline tickets for getting bumped off our flight. Hmm, so I can sit and read my book in relative peace and quiet for an additional two hours, and for that you'll give me another vacation - free of charge. CHA-CHING!

Welcome to the dark side! It is quite addicting, as you will soon find out. Vegas looks awesome! Glad you're back!
Hi Ganelle - I've just been experimenting with blogging myself. This is my first comment ever and I'm not sure how it works. My sister started a blog for all the siblings where we share recipes and stuff. It's

Looks like you had a better time than we did in Vegas. I couldn't stand the place and couldn't wait to leave. Probably because we had the kids with us and I spent a lot of time trying to explain to them why there were pictures of nude women on the ground with stars over their boobs. (I went off on a guy who handed Kris one of those cards while he was carrying Braedon and made a scene I'm not proud of now that I look back on it...I could have been much louder) Also, I was in an anti-Harry Reid mood and Kris and I decided (just to stick it to him--yea, we have that much of an effect) to make it the whole time without putting a single penny towards the casinos...it was a silly boycott of sorts but it made us feel good at the time. We were just there one day/night on our way to St George so it wasn't a long ordeal and we enjoyed the Bellagio so we can at least say "been there, done that".
WHAT???!!!! You mean that's not the real Eiffel Tower? Get. out.
Hey Ganelle, Martha sent the park view mommies an email telling us you started a blog...fun start, like your pics of las vegas!
