Vegas is confirmed…

Monday, March 31st, 2008

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! :-)

Cellphone receptions

Monday, March 31st, 2008

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. 

The Johnsons’ second home

Monday, March 31st, 2008

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.
