what happens in vegas...

i am busy getting ready for our annual las vegas trip. this year we are traveling with three other couples. our usual traveling companions, my sister and her husband and another couple whom we have not traveled with before. it should be a blast. we are going for a 3 day weekend, and have booked many exciting events. including dinner at isla mexican restaurant and tequila bar (which i have been dreaming about since last year). now that i have overcome my fear of flying, trips will be so much easier. norm is gonna regret making me fly when he realizes it has created a traveling jones in me.

that 1 guy

it may be difficult to tell what this is due to poor club lighting (although i prefer to call it "ambiance"). we went to see a performance by "that 1 guy and his magic pipe" the other night. i have seen him play a few times, and i am always mesmerized. he has invented this instrument from some pipes and electronic parts. i think there may be a guitar pick-up, a keyboard type of sampler and some electronic drum parts involved, but i can't really be sure- i am not a musician. he also plays a magic boot and a magic saw. his lyrics are pretty clever too.
this is my brother and i enjoying the show.

ra ra ra

gimme an "r", gimme an "o", gimme an "x", gimme a "y"! what's that spell? it's "roxy"! i never thought i would fall into the weirdo's who like to dress up their pets category, but here i am. baby g discovered that her build-a-bear clothes fit the dog, and spent two days chasing her around the house to dress her up. i tried hard to protect poor roxy, but to no avail. i finally realized however, that roxy actually enjoyed the costumes so i had to give it a try. she is going to cheerleader tryouts next week.

i didn't see you there

i am finally getting around to adding a photo of the new addition to our family. zero is taking it well- he really doesn't even seem to notice or care! she has been renamed "roxanne the diva"- we call her roxy for "short" ha. ha. it suits her.
