Getting into the Groove

Ok, I've been on a job search....as I type these words, the voices of my Mom/and or Dad echo in my head "If you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all." So in the spirit of that haunting phrase, here's a little bit about my job hunt.





I've been sending out a lot of resumes.

There, now that's taken care of. Now to the fun stuff.

My former roommate from New York came to visit me. Now mind you, we haven't seen each other in 15 year, but it was like not a day had passed when I saw her. Back in the day we gabbed, partied and generally ran all over the city buying knock offs from street vendors. This past weekend we gabbed, partied and did a lot of shoe shopping and I'm telling you she's wearing the sexiest pair of shiny black pumps all around Manhattan and I for one am JEALOUS.

We did gamble at the penny slots at New York, New York, Bellagio, Planet Hollywood and the Luxor. I liked the Goldfish slots. I seemed to do well on them. We had drinks at all of the above mentioned and the open air bar just outside of Caesar's. Ok, a couple too many at the open air bar, but there were some cute 20-somethings that just flew in from Indianapolis and were so adorable as they drank their fufu frozen drinks and smoked cigars.

We shopped at the Miracle Mile shops and I introduced her to shoe heaven: DSW (where she got the sexy black pumps). Joanne found out there is a DSW in Manhattan and now she finally has a place to throw away her life savings.

Thanks to my brother and sister-in-law Mike and Sara, we also dined at some great restaurants that the "locals" go to. See, here in VEGAS there are the the Hotels/Restaurants and Casinos that tourists goes to and the Hotels/Restaurants and Casinos that the "locals" and the employees of the hotel/casino industry go to. They call them "SIN" nights (SERVICE INDUSTRY NIGHTS). Mandalay Bay as one at the bar, "The Rum Jungle" and I hear the M Hotel/Resort is very fun and hot and right outside of Las Vegas.

We hit "Paymon's Mediterrean Cuisine" and "Cool Place Cuba Cafe" for some amazing "Ropa Vieja" and plantains... nummy, nummy. Also, courtesy of my lovely sister-in-law who is a wedding planner at the Bellagio, we went to the Bellagio Buffet which actually had a lot of great seafood. Over all, a wonderful time, but it took me a day or two to recover.....I'm not the NY party girl I used to be...or the LA party girl for that matter.
