Random Stuff

So! The Bombers won finally...for a change. Good game guys! Congrats on a W!!! But you just barely squeaked by...got tired in the 4th, huh? Michael Bishop has sorta redeemed himself...and the receivers (most of whom are new and I don't know their names) played well, along with Fred Reid. Oh yah, and boo to Dorian Smith and Siddeeq Shabazz, who got themselves ejected from the game in the 4th - silly boys, fighting. Sigh.

In other news, pretty boring I must say. Trying to get organized and ready to head to Vegas soon (only one more week of work!) and have been cruising the Innerwebs to see if there's anything I would like to see/do/eat there, that I previously did not know. Turns out, there's not a lot! Which is good, I can stick to my normal routine of drinking and shopping...and people watching. This is what we (me & hubby) like to do...what can I say? It's our annual run-away-from-life vaycashun.

Bonus...it should be hot, so it'll be like an extended summah. Ours seems to have run out, but it lasted til Sep. 26 (yestahday) so one cannot complain...too much.

I found this picture of the "New Frontier" hotel that got tored down in 2007. Hubby and I visited it in late 2006 and I'm glad we did, cuz we din't know until later it would be torn down. Directly when you walked inside was a genuine "one-armed bandit" statue of a cowboy guy thingey...anyway it was cool. And it was smoky and dingy, exactly what you'd expect of an old casino with a Western name:


But they did serve a decent frozen Margarita. You gotta love the "Cold Beer ... Dirty Girls" on the sign...we laffed at that one since we first saw it in 2005, the year of our dotter's weddin at "Viva Las Vegas Chapel" very north of the Strip. Every time we drove by that sign we'd laf - and we drove by it alot! it rained for 2 solid days & we were always in the car til we could finally get out & explore the Strip a bit. And that's when we fell in love with Vegas.

Here is one of Mama's fave places in Vegas:


I love the atmosphere and, well, the Margaritas are swell...and their very own 'Land Shark' beer, the volcano nachos and they have good salads & soups. They have a very nice gift shop as well...still need a fridge magnet for the redneck fridge. Here's the inside of the restaurant, a small part, as it's pretty big:


I just really like it there! It's fun and the food is good...can't ask for more than that.

And I love the shopping, especially the outlet mall(s). We try to buy some Xmas gifts while we're there and I must admit, I'm a wee bit behind in my Christmas shopping, don't know about y'all. It is, after all, less than three months away...OMG!!!

So, we'll be flying the friendly skies on KITTEH AIRLINES:


...a fairly new airline, but we'll give them a chance and see how they do / we do / hope it's crash-free. Yeesh!

I really should go & do something now. Feelz likez Ize wasting my time on this here interwebs.

Adieu til the next time I feel like going on about nothing.
