Life with the Three Crazy Dogs

Yep, it’s confirmed, I’m going to Las Vegas on May 4-7.   I had to ask Ms. E to move her flex Monday to a different so she could be here in the office while my boss and I are in Vegas.  It’s weird, my boss will be in Vegas that week, too.  We might bump into each other.

Tammy will get the air tickets and I will take care of tickets to Cirque du Soleil.  I told Corrine and Tammy about Le Reve, an aquatic presentation by Cirque du Soleil.  I have employee discounts through my company so tickets are about $108.90 per person plus children need a ticket, too.  Yeah, it’s cut-throat but what to do, we really want to see Cirque du Soleil.

The next event I would like to attend is the Richard Petty Driving Experience.  Since I’m already in Vegas, I should visit the Las Vegas Speedway and hop in one of the NASCAR  car, going 160 mph for 3 laps.  I might pee in my pants, but that is one of my one thing to do before I kick the bucket!  Moreover, who knows when will I ever go to Vegas again. 

The rest of the activities will be arranged while we are there like the Hoover Dam and maybe the Grand Canyon tour.  There are employee discounts, too, from my company.   Will have to discuss with the other participants.  I am so pumped! :-)

Do you have problems with your cellphone reception when you are in the basement of your apartment complex?  I don’t live in apartments but when I have to park in the basement of parking ramps, my cellphone will give me the “No Service” on my cellphone.  Nadine’s hubby installed a cell phone repeater in their home a few months ago and she is loving it especially when she is receiving a lot of calls from her clients to view houses.  I can see how important it is to install an antenna for stronger signals particularly if they are in the basement in their home theater. 

My friend Ruth and her hubby are still in Oklahoma for the winter.  They will not return to Minnesota until the beginning or mid May.  They only live in Minnesota, Lake Mille Lacs to be exact only for the summer and through fall.  Then they will be gone for the rest of winter where they will spend it in Oklahoma, Texas, or Arizona.  Her hubby bought a class A motorhome two years ago.  She is loving it and so is the man.  All they need to do is pay a fee for the motorhome rent in the park they desire to stay for that time, and enjoy rounds of golf with the other retirees.  They have totally considered the motorhome as their second home.  They have travelled in the RV to many parks.  I have yet to hop on it but I hope it will be soon.

I cannot believe I am so eager to get to work tomorrow.  It’s almost 10, time to snooze.  Why am I so eager???  Because I have to check my department’s out of office calendar to check for the month of May, dates 4-7, if there is anyone else taking vacation for those days.  Yes, baby, I am so excited.

The chance to go to Las Vegas is a dream come true for me.  I want to go to Las Vegas for the longest time. 

I went to work at Satay2Go on Saturday and was asked by Corrine if I want to join her and her family on those dates.  The company her hubby is working is having a conference on those days and family are allowed to come along.  She asked the other lady, Tammy,  working at the restaurant if she wants to come along to accompany her, Tammy said yes but only need another companion to share the hotel room.  DB is just so happy for me, he said yes, go ahead.  But I cannot truly confirm til I get to work tomorrow morning.  

I am hoping, keeping my fingers crossed that those days are open for me.   I’m sure I won’t be going to Vegas with DB….he has no intentions of going to Lost Wages.  Ok, i better get my butt to bed now, we are expecting another blow of spring snow tomorrow with accumulations of 6-7 inches.  Yuck!!

The theme for this week’s PhotoHunt is “High”.  I did thought of being “high” like stoned on drugs!  But of course I have no pictures of that kind of “high”.  What I found on my albums are pictures from my trip to Cameron Highlands, Perak, Malaysia last year December.  My friend, Stef and her hubby, Pat together with her mom and I were there on a day trip.  The picture below is where the Boh Tea Plantation is located.  The look-out thingy that protrudes out up high on the cliff was specially built for visitors to view the beautiful rows and rows of tea plants.  I took the picture while we were walking up.

The above picture is the view from the look-out looking down to the tea plantation workers’ living quarters which is on midle left of the picture that are sorta dark green in color.  The narrow path to the top is on the mid left of the picture.
