Workout!

I decided to buy the Skechers shoes that are called Shape-ups, we have a skecher store right by my house, I love all their shoes and have worn them for years! I got my shape-ups on monday and have worn them all week, my thighs and butt muscles are screaming! Oh these babies work! I have been doing 1/2 hour on the treadmill each morning and the shoes really add to the workout! I highly recommend them, they are very comfortable and cushy and cute! And they add about 2 inches to my height, so that is another plus since I am only 5 foot 1 inch! They cost 99.00, and are worth every penny!

Girl's night out!

Colleen, Tanya and I went to see a Doors Tribute Band last night. Called Wild Child, not bad for a cover band. The audience was into and clapping pretty good so I am sure the majority enjoyed the show. I did.


When I first met my friend Debbie, her friends were huge Elvis fans and they would go to every Elvis impersonator show possible, that was how I discovered Las Vegas. I have seen more impersonator shows then I care to recall, but it taught me to apprieciate the really good ones. And you can tell when they do thier research and study their subject. Wild Child lead singer Dave Brock sounds real. The tickets are not priced to high for the show you get, so if you are headed to Las Vegas and are a Doors fan, check the Hilton out and see if they are playing. We had a fun time and I would like to thank my hubby for driving so I could have wine with the girls!
Next stop I think we are interested in seeing the Queen tribute band, so stay tuned for more entertaining news from Las Vegas!

Goodbye Captain Phil!

Captain Phil Harris passed away, he was a favorite of mine on The Deadliest Catch show. My thoughts go out to his sons Josh and Jake and the rest of his crab catching family, crew and friends.

You will be missed Captain Phil!

Happy Birthday! 44!

It is superbowl 44, so that means I am 44 years old...the superbowl and I share the same birthday year...great way to remember how old I am, I just have to ask what superbowl year is this?
I am cooking lots of goodies and it will just be me and charlie and his mom.
I am betting on the Saints to win!

Photo fun!

I bought a light box to photo my stuff I sell on etsy. I got it at http://www.adorama.com/ they have great deals on camera stuff. This box came complete with lights, storage bag, tent, cloth that has blue or gray sides. You get all this for 29.99! I also bought the remote control for my camera 17.99, that way I just set up my camera for the shot and I don't have to worry about blurring shots anymore, just push the button and click it's done without all my coffee shake going on. So today I will retake most of my etsy shop jewlery pics, I like the guitar photos I took so I will leave those, but the rest need to be updated!
I was very impressed with the whole set up....here is one of the photos I have taken so far:

Not too shabby! Oh, and this ring is in my etsy shop, it is called blueberry swirl!
Ok I am having too much fun with all this!! Rainy day today so I want to go bake something..Oh, check the cooking blog I will have all my superbowl grub on there tomorrow!
Go Saints!!

More scrappin'

I can't have a post with out discussing food! We ate at the cafe for breakfast, but the first dinner we had the Irish pub, good fish and chips! We had starbucks every now and then. Saturday night we had the japanese steakhouse, where we ate sushi, salmon with rice, yellowtail with rice, and shrimp with rice. It was delicious!
Mary and I would highly recommend Shizen restaurant at the Rampart/Marriott resort!
