Vegas, Baby!

[minxybaby]

I just ate a huge breakfast! lol I was hoping to make a sandwich when I woke up, but there was only one piece of bread left. So instead of making soup or something quick, I just cooked myself a big breakfast-y meal. I had a piece of toast, some maple sausages, an egg, 2 potato patties, and some fried onion. I love onion and had a craving for it. I was actually going to fry some up and then add it to grilled cheese sandwiches, so I ate it over my egg instead. :)

heh This morning was pretty crazy for driving. There is one road on my drive where deer frequent, but it was really foggy and I wouldn't be able to tell if one was on the road in front of me. When I got home, I took Vicki out to pee, then grabbed the camera and snapped a couple pictures from the road behind our house. At this time the fog had already started to dissipate. There are so many times I wish I brought a camera with me everywhere... just for the beautiful things I see and want to share with you. Like the city at night as seen from my office building in downtown Ottawa... one of these days!





Yesterday when I was leaving for work I noticed the car was covered in muck. It was really weird. It looked like a neighbour flung poo all over it. I got to the car after hubby said he already cleaned part of it. I can only imagine how filthy it was before he drove it. It was so gross that I had to go to the gas station on my way to work to clean the windows. It's a good thing I always leave early for work or I would have been late.

Hubby booked our trip to Vegas last night. We'll be staying in a spa suite at the Luxor. He added another day to our itinerary too, so that's awesome! I can't wait!!!!!!

The Luxor is awesome, never have stayed there, but it is pretty cool. I stayed next door at The Four Seasons once. ;)

[minxy-baby.livejournal.com]

The Luxor looks really nice from what I've seen on their webpage. I honestly have no idea what to expect in Vegas. I mean, I've only seen it in movies and stuff. lol I'm excited!

[linnea.livejournal.com]

Get a book about it before you go & read up on it from the lirbary. Lonely Planet has somm good travel books. ;)

[tinybutcuteass.livejournal.com]

I like the photos :) You should take your camera when you go to Vegas :) You can also take me ;)

[minxy-baby.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Yeah, we'll be taking the cheap-o camera with us. :D Ha! Maybe next time... I don't think my husband booked for a third party. :P

[tinybutcuteass.livejournal.com]

Awwww, and I was really hoping to go too, lol.

[tynkerbelle.livejournal.com]

The Luxor is really nice. And the spa suite sounds great!!! How relaxing and romantic. :)

[minxy-baby.livejournal.com]

It will be a nice getaway! I've never been to Vegas, so I really don't know what to expect. The Luxor looks good from what I've seen. :)

I've not been to the Luxor... the suite with the spa and everything looks fabulous though. I love love LOVE going to vegas... not that I go very often, but just everytime I have gone it's been a great time. I love the shows, the shoping, the food, the hustle and bustle of the strip... so fun! :)

And those are some crazy pics! I can't imagine driving in those conditions. It would be SO crazy for me if I ever moved somewhere where there was snow and weather like that. I'm such the spoiled southern California girl!

[minxy-baby.livejournal.com]

I've never been there before. It's exciting 'cause I really don't know what to expect. I've been to big cities in Canada, but I'm having a hard time picturing what Vegas will be like. I can only imagine from what I've seen on TV. lol

The weather can be funny here. My whole route home was foggy like that. But by the time I took the pics, it had already started to lift. hehe I think we don't have much snow, but for Ottawa it's quite a bit. I think this is the most I've seen in my 3 years living here. Back home the amount of snow would be doubled. And it's been hovering around 0C the last few days, so the snow's been getting a chance to melt. I hope Spring comes soon! :D

Let's hope is less like "CSI" and more like "Vegas". No I don't watch too much TV... what have you heard? ;-)

[minxy-baby.livejournal.com]

lol I love CSI!! :P

[babyulu.livejournal.com]

Vegas is one of those cities that never sleeps. You drive down the strip and it's stimulus overload... all the lights and people and extravagant hotels. And then inside the hotels and casinos there is so much you can get lost... malls and tons of shopping and places to eat, rollercoasters and rides, shows, people up 24/7. It's insane, but fun. If this is your first Vegas experience, you'll have tons to see.

See, fog like that is weird for so cal folks... if it's not sunny and clear (well smoggy) everyone forgets how to drive! lol. But I agree... I'm ready for spring. I'm a summer kind of gal myself. It's the hawaiian blood in me! :)

[coleslilwitch.livejournal.com]

Never been to Vegas, so I'll be looking forward to hearing all about it and seeing photos! :-) I'm a wee bit jealous right now. OK, a LOT jealous.

[minxy-baby.livejournal.com]

lol I can't believe we're actually going! My husband surprised me with this on Valentine's Day. :D I've never been either so I'm really excited. I will be taking lots of pics. :D

hey

[quiet-tammy.livejournal.com]

Re: hey

[minxy-baby.livejournal.com]

hehe Yeah, I'd rather just look at the fog than drive in it. :P Thanks, I'm excited about Vegas. :)

[mysticchyna.livejournal.com]

yum....nothing like a hearty breakfast. my fave breakie sammich is a ham n egg on toast with mayo and tomato only.
it was very froggy herer this morning too.

[minxy-baby.livejournal.com]

That sounds good too. The little breakfast sausages are my favourite. :D

[giruff.livejournal.com]

Aww yay for snow. All we've had here is rain! Our back yard is a big muddy swamp - its awful!

Oooh bet you cant wait for vegas!

[minxy-baby.livejournal.com]

I can't imagine not having snow in winter. :P I can't wait for it to melt and I'm looking forward to hot weather.

Oh, I'm really excited for Vegas. My husband has a list of things we're going to see and do.

[pinkgoddess18.livejournal.com]

Wow! the pics are great!!! I love early mornings, even if I'm rarely awake to enjoy them! lol

Vegas sounds so fun! I am absolutely DYING to go!!! One of these days I'll get my act (and my bank account) together!

[minxy-baby.livejournal.com]

hehe I wouldn't have been up that early if it wasn't for work. Very rarely am I up that early. On my days off I sleep in till at least 10am, just because I can. lol

Heh! Well, maybe one day you'll get your chance. There are lots of places I'd like to go. I'm really excited about going to Vegas. I have to wait 2 more months. ;)

[niecystrips.livejournal.com]

The spa suite at the Luxor??? *cries* So jealous!

I've never been to Vegas as an adult.... Gonna have to do that.

[minxy-baby.livejournal.com]

This will be my first time there. I'm so excited!!

[ghost-poop.livejournal.com]

oh man. I love the Luxor. That's where I stayed the first time that we went. It's so fun! The elevators are a trip because they go diagnally (sp?) depending on where your room is. Feels totally crazy. When are you guys going to be there?

[minxy-baby.livejournal.com]

Oh the elevators sound neat! I can't wait! We're going April 29 - May 4, and that includes our travel days. It seems so far away. lol

[hopefulspirit.livejournal.com]

That fog is crazy! It was like that here in Anchorage about a month ago, every morning for a week, it drove me nuts.

Have fun in Vegas!! What a great present from your hubby. He really does great with presents, most guys aren't like that.

[minxy-baby.livejournal.com]

This city can be weird. You can drive for 10 minutes in another direction and the fog is gone. We seem to get it around our neighbourhood more than other parts of the city.

Thanks, I can't wait!! He is great with gifts. He comes up with the coolest things. He can spoil me sometimes. lol

[meecy.livejournal.com]

I hate driving in fog like that but the picture of it is pretty.

[minxy-baby.livejournal.com]

hehe I feel the same way. It did look neat, but I didn't enjoy driving in it. It can be scary because there is one area where there is almost gauranteed to be deer.

I was in Vegas a year and half ago for my honeymoon.

Here's my webpage about the trip:

Hey cool, thanks for the links! I just read your adventure. A lot of the places you went to my husband has planned for us to go. We won't be able to get as much in though, 'cause we're only there for 4 days (5 mights). It might feel a bit rushed, but it should still be fun. Great pics, and now I'm going to check out some of the other links from your website. :D
