My run in with the LAW...

My cop did not look like this....

So I haven't had a run in with the Law since I was flagged over by a bike cop after school in my sub for doing 5 over!!!! So I was a little surprised that I got pulled over by "Officer I Take Myself Too Seriously" Thursday afternoon. So This is how it all went down...

I was driving home from work just getting on the freeway. I was about 15min away from home when Casey called to tell my the cable guy was there and needed my laptop in order to fix our wireless. So I put the peddle to the metal and busted a move home. Now, I admit...I was speeding (and swerving through traffic BUT in my defense I was checking my blind spot) anyways all of a sudden I see the lights of the cop car pulling me over. Damn it! I was totally caught. Good thing I was wearing my sexy Juicy Couture glasses because "Office I Take Myself Too Seriously" gave me a warning. Thank God because the ticket would have been like $600!!!

But don't worry I totally learned my lesson. I'm totally investing in a police scanner! :)

Date Night!

So last night Planet Hollywood hosted the Miss America Pageant here in Las Vegas. Since Casey has the hook up pretty much anywhere in town (gotta love the restaurant business) he got his friend at Planet to hook us up with tickets! We were so excited! We got all dressed up, drove to the hotel right on time, 7pm just to realize that we were about two hours too late! The pageant had started at 4pm! We were so bummed but Casey and I like to make the best of things so we went to a new favorite of ours Bar Louie at Towne Square. All in all it was a great night. I still need to find out who won though!
XOXO

The funny way my Macie sleeps...

Hey everyone,

So believe me I'm not going to turn into one of those weirdo's that only blogs about their pets BUT......I just have to post these funny shots of Macie sleeping! She's so hilarious that I have to share them with everyone. She mostly likes to sleep about 3 inches away from her mommy or daddy :) and it usually has to be on the couch. She likes the crack of the couch too, it must be where she feels the most snuggly!

Macie's first Vet visit!

So, being the very over protective mother that I am :)
I made sure the first thing that Macie did was see the vet! (well, lets be honest the first thing I did was make sure she looked good and had the right accessories)

But then I made an appt. for Macie at the Warm Springs Animal Hospital right down the street from out house. The staff was very nice and Dr. Simon took great care of my baby! We found out that she weights 3lbs! I couldn't believe it, I mean I knew she was small but thats super tiny! Then they started her on her shots. Now typically, they give you a combo shot of 3 different vaccines that all puppies need. But because Macie is soooo small they could only give her one. :) We have to go back in 2 weeks (Jan 31st) for the second one. I felt so bad, she gave out this little cry when Dr. Simon gave her her shot in the butt. But she did fantastic! She's such a good girl! Mommy and Daddy are very proud of her! ;)

Welcome to our family Macie!!

We have a new addition to our little family! Welcome Macie, our 8 week old Cha-weenie! :) She's supossedly a mix between a chihauhau and a daushaund. She is so super sweet and adorable!

Here's the story....

Thursday, I had to fly to San Francisco for a meeting and I was supposed to fly home that same evening at 6 pm. When I got to the San Fran airport I texted Casey to make sure he was still able to pick me up. Instead of texting me back he sent a pic of this sweet looking puppy! I immediatly called him to see what was going on and all he said was "Surprise, she's ours!" When I asked the usual what, who, when, where he said that he saw her on craigslist for $200. When Casey called the man who had her he was able to talk him down to $75 and the rest is history! They both came to pick me up from the airport and I immediatly fell in L-O-V-E! All she wants to do is play and give kisses.

So right from the airport we went straight to PetSmart where we spen a small fortune picking out the perfect comfy bed, blanket, food, collar, leash, food bowls, play toys, chew toys....you get the picture. I even went to Juicy Couture and bought her a Juicy sweatshirt! Its a small and she'll have to grow into it!

The Perfect Dress

So, the Heart Ball is literally 3 months away and I'm starting to freak out about my dress! To say the least, it has to be perfect! And perfect is hard to find. But a miracle had happened and I found it! Well, I saw it in magazine. Ok, I saw it in a Wedding magazine. And it's actually a bridesmaids dress but who cares! Its PERFECT! And remember perfect is hard to come by! So I've tracked down the store that carries it here in Vegas and on Saturday I'll go see how much damage this gorgeous gown is gonna cost me :) But you tell me, isn't it amazing???

San Francisco here I come!

So tomorrow I'm heading to Volunteer Management training in San Fran for the day. My flight leaves at 6am (yikes) and I spend the whole day in the San Fran office which overlooks the San Fran Bay! How cool, you don't get views like that in the desert! Then, without any sight seeing at all, I have to fly back to Vegas. Just in time for water aerobics!

Water Aerobics :)

Now just picture me in the middle and you've got my aerobics class :)

Ok so its not a secret that I HATE working out! Absolutely hate it! With a passion. Its not fun and who likes to get sweaty? So I figure that if I have a group of people to work out with that I might not hate it so much. So when the Henderson Happenings book came in the mail (its the catelog of all the community classes you can sign up for) I took a gander at the water aerobics page :) So you're lookin' at (reading rather) the newest member of the Henderson Water Aerobics class! Tuesday and Thursday nights from 7-8pm you can find me sweatin' away to the oldies with my and my "senior" friends in the community pool! It's acutally pretty fun. Let me tell you a little about my class......

Everyone is 65+ including my teacher, CaroleAnn, who just had her pace maker put in last week. But don't let that fool you she is full of fire and could probably run a marathon without breaking a sweat. To pump us up we listen to Elvis and Fats Domino and there's always a warning made by CaroleAnn when we start to do the grapvine. "If you've had a hip replacement just walk side to side and skip the grapvine!" With all that aside its actually a really fun class. I've met some really nice ladies who are always willing to help you out and by the end of every class my legs feel like jello and I'm out of breath! (that's a good thing right?) Tomorrow night I'm making Casey go with me! :) I'll let you know how he does...

New J-O-B Promotion!!

It's official I've been promoted to Business Development Coordinator for the Las Vegas Heart Ball! Which is April 25th at Planet Hollywood. That's going to be such a fun night! I can't wait to post those pictures :)

New Years 2009! Vegas Style...

Las Vegas Blvd. Fireworks

Casey and I on the strip in front of the Wynn

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
What a way to ring in 2009!! Casey, Sue (Casey's Mom) and myself rang in the new year on The Strip! Which is way cool 'cause they close down Las Vegas Blvd. so that all the drunks can walk up and down the street waiting for the hotels to set off fireworks and for the ball to drop. It was estimated that 40,000 people were on the strip that night! It really was a mad house. As soon as I get the pics off of Casey camera I'll post'em.

Merry Christmas!!

Lot's O' Presents on Christmas Morning

Ali's Christmas Scooter

Merry Christmas everyone! I haven't written for some time now so today is the day for catching up! :) During the Christmas break I left my cozy home here in Las Vegas to fly home to the fridged cold weather in Michigan! I arrived home on Christmas Eve and stayed until just after Ali's Birthday! Christmas was great and it was awesome seeing my Dad, but I realized that Las Vegas is now Home to me. I guess I'm finally growing up and moving on...
