I seem to be running a day behind; but the good news is that I met several big deadlines- so hopefully I can get my feet underneath me. ...continue reading "Lent 2016: March 16, Day 36- Into the Wind"

I just completed a long day of chores and errands around the house, and although I do feel tired, it's not the same stressful, agitated feeling as if I had spent the same length of time doing my professional work. ...continue reading "Lent 2016: March 12, Day 32– Domestic Bliss"

For awhile now I have been trying to work on controlling my tongue at work. It so easy to get sucked into gossip and bitching. ...continue reading "Lent 2016: March 11, Day 31 – Speak Light"

I have finally reached the final post in my series on the the Lord's Prayer. Before delving into the heavy topic of evil, here's the whole thing from the beginning from the New American Standard Bible and Bible Gateway website: ...continue reading "Lent 2016: March 9, Day 29 – Deliver Us"

Published on Leave a comment on Lent 2016: March 7, Day 27 – Vegas, Baby

I don't have a good topic tonight, so I am going to combine tasks.

My hubby and I have been considering a Vegas run, so I am going to log my ideas about possible hotels and just update it here.

  • Rio     (The only show we're interested in so far is Penn & Teller. So staying at the Rio would make that easier. However, it's off the strip and out of the way.)
  • Bellagio     (I thought I wanted to stay here. It always looks so amazing, but when I looked at the photos, it looked untouchable, grown-up and stuff. It reminds me of last year when I was bummed that I wasn't going to be able to stay at the Swan and Dove for a conference at Disney World, only to have way more fun at my way less stuffy Orleans. Hubby and I want more fun, less stuffy.)
  • Marriott Cosmopolitan - use points for half.  Looks interesting
  • Paris     (This one is still in the running...) More to come...centrally located. some reviews were positive many said there were lots of fees and rude service...paris...go figure.

New York, New York

To research

  • Caesars-seems like its worth keeping on the list, but many  reviews said old and smokey.
  • MGM Grand
  • Venetian
  • Monte Carlo (I think this one had good rates and was interesting)
  • Mirage this one is still in the running. mixed reviews. good location.
  • Mandalay Bay
  • Treasure Island
  • Palazzo this one sounds interesting...big rooms...sound a little fancy, Italy, but comfortable

Short post today...

As one of the home maintenance things we've noticed lately, I noticed a crack forming in my closet rod. So for the last few weeks, I have intended to purge my closet. ...continue reading "Lent 2016: March 6, Day 26 -One Bite of Elephant"
