New Year Entry 1

   Tis the new year.  2008 was a wonderful year for me and I hope 2009 will be too!  My sister Jen

is coming to see me this coming week.  We have plans to go eat Korean food again and also go to Margaritaville on the strip to eat their legendary nachos!  Margaritaville, I am told, is a Jimmy Buffett themed restaurant.  My sister has been there before and wants me to also experience it too when she comes here with her.  I think we will also do some shopping at the Chinatown stores and also get cupcakes at some of the many cupcake bakeries here.  My sister loves her cupcakes! 
    This past weekend I bought my lil' Rocco some new clothes.  I bought him a tuxedo print sweater and also a tee which says on the back of course "Squirrels can't be trusted".  I inserted some pictures of each.  They are absolutely adorable and Rocco really does like them.  I think they are some sort of "security blanket" item to him now.  He is excited when I go to put him in them and has never bit at them or tried to rip them off ever!  He is such a good boy. (Mamas boy)  ^___~
    Work is still great.  Has been a lot more busy since we opened our twin hotel with the resort, but I feel very blessed to have such a great job.  I really like my boss, co-workers, atmosphere, shift, etc.  I can't really complain at all.
    Christmas and New Years were fine. Wasn't quite the same not being with family.  There felt an emptiness in the back of my heart and soul a bit.  I worked New Years Eve and Day.  They were just normal days, evenings, and nights for me.  Rocco and I went to bed about 9pm on New Years Eve.  We woke up for less than a minute at midnight of course due to some neighborhood fireworks.  We then went right back to sleep and slept like babies.  :-)
    I am still really liking it here in Las Vegas.  I never thought I would end up in this particular city, but things are wonderful and really working out for me.  I can't complain as I said before in this entry about really anything in my life now.  That is really neat to feel.  :-)
