sequels

just caught the tail end of Ocean's Eleven which I find to be a cute, silly and an enjoyable film. I also enjoyed Ocean's Twelve although I find it comes off as a hey let's all hang out and make a movie again sort of movie. But by the time the got to Ocean's Thirteen good grief that one was just horrible and a waste of time even with Al Pacino! I sincerely hope they won't even consider a Fourteen

funny the menu was not mentioned

the past few friday nights we have wound up at MIL's for dinner. I was so tired I couldn't see straight yesterday afternoon and C had some sort of stomach thing going on so I told her the 2 of us would pass, David went and casually mentioned something about lobster this morning.
No one said anything about surf & turf....

four eyes?

one of the things C brought to my attention yesterday afternoon was that he was having difficulty seeing the board at school so I called and made an appointments for both of us at the eye doctor. fun fun I got my first pair of glasses when I was in third grade. I was sort of hoping that this was one genetic trait that would not get passed along...

left sheep of the family

back to life

well sort of I took today off from work mainly because it the first of my crazy Thursday adventures this semester. I am taking a basic biology classes as a pre-requisite for micro-biology next semester. I took an Advanced Bio in high school many many many moons ago so I am hoping the class will be more review type stuff for me and based on today's lecture this will hopefully not be very taxing it seems pretty basic. Originally I had registered for a Saturday lecture which of course got cancelled because I was only 1 of 2 to register for that lecture. That would have made my life so much easier but no such luck so I picked a twice a week early lecture which should hopefully work well for me, I can get C on the bus then head out to class and be to work by 9.30ish. Being an early class meant that parking was not too difficult a nice benefit I did not originally consider. I am taking a lab on Thursdays as well from 3-5 which means leaving early from work and going to that as well as having MIL pick C up & drop him at tae kawn do for me, where I will collect him after my lab.
I took today because well I'm tired, need to do laundry, collect Oscar the superpug and run a few other errands plus the whole class/lab thing as well. I sort of hoped to grab a nap someplace along the way but don't see that happening

home again home again

I am looking forward to seeing my boys, sleeping in my own bed, doing laun..alright not looking forward to that but I have a suitcase full of dirty clothes & I suspect a basket or 3 at home as well.
It's been a good trip we found some good new lines & products to bring into the store. The past several years I have travelled by myself so it was nice to have company & she has a good eye not to mention she is 14 years younger & knows better some of the things I might have passed on. As far as Vegas we didn't do so much which was disappointing and to be honest I like to travel on my own even when David & I have been out here we tend to split most evenings when we are gambling the only time co-worker actually wanted to go out on her own was about an hour last night when I was ready to go back to the room. So I did not do too much gambling because I don't like someone hanging over my shoulder hell even at slots I doubled my money and she urged me to cash out, I didn't think it would be very nice to tell her to buzz off so we went to see the water show at Bellagio-which has the best dinner buffet in my estimation. Paris is the best breakfast and had I been on my own I would have headed over this morning early before we have to head to the airport but I am being polite & we'll grab something at the airport.
So another long day of travel ahead which sucks but hopefully the little televisions in the seat work better this flight, plus I have a book or two to keep my occupied then back to crazy buys life tomorrow!

getting old

or just pathetic?
after a long day of travel co-worker & I grabbed dinner and turned in by 9 granted it was midnight for us but the clock said 9! I didn't gamble a dime! although one of the machines did call out to me so might need to visit that today.
Good night sleep woke up early but having a roomie meant I couldn't turn on a light & read or turn the tv on finally logged on around 5.30 local time-again 3 hours behind what our bodies are use to. She is ok to travel with but had called boyfriend 1/2 dozen times yesterday-isn't young love grand? I talked to David once and texted him once, still love & miss him but we are only gone 4 days not 4 weeks.
Bally's is good but we got a crappy crappy view ah well at least beds are comfy!
Now we are going to get ready grab breakfast at the buffet in Paris and off to the show to buy some cool stuff for the store!
