just mention a &quot;few&quot; things.&#160; First of all my <a href="http://peachsoda03.vox.com/" class="enclosure-inline-user" at:enclosure="inline-user" at:user-xid="6p00c22523722f8fdb" at:screen-name="Jen" at:delegate="people-connect" at:user-pic="http://up7.vox.com/6a00c22523722f8fdb00cdf7f46a66094f-75si" >sister</a>
    
    
    

    
    
    

 is moving to Vegas within a month also for a new job.&#160; I am very happy for her and excited to have her here with me.&#160; I also got a small promotion has work and a small raise in pay.
    
    
    

&#160; Every little bit helps!&#160; I still work at the resort and still really like my job there.&#160; My birthday is coming up.&#160; I am excited for that too.&#160; My dog Rocco is still as loving as ever.&#160; I certainly am one lucky &quot;chihuahua mama!&quot;&#160; :-)<br />&#160;&#160; My mom was here in Vegas about two weeks ago visiting me.&#160; Her and I celebrated my birthday early and she and my Dad both gave me a wonderful &quot;Canon&quot; camera for my gift.&#160; I had broken my previous digital camera.&#160; That may also be a reason I haven&#39;t blogged for the past 6 months.&#160; My sister and I both decided we missed our blogging here on Vox and are going to start blogging again at least two times a week.&#160; <br />&#160;&#160; Going to go eat dinner soon.&#160; Maybe another Indian Palak tv dinner?&#160; Right now Rocco, &quot;my chi&quot; is sitting on my lap as I type this and we&#39;re sort of watching &quot;America&#39;s Funniest Home Videos&quot; on tv together.

this guy who has a history in the restaurant business who goes all around the country o restaurants to eat the &quot;ultimate&quot; foods like a 7 pound burrito, HUGE steaks and burgers and the spiciest curry in the country.&#160; In the curry episode it the chef wore a gas mask in the kitchen while he prepared the cuurry because even the fumes were so hot and would have closed up his throat.&#160; The restaurant owner even told the host &quot;Adam&quot; that a guest&#39;s nose began bleading while eating it!&#160; OMG!&#160; Why would anyone eat that you would think?&#160; Adam ate the entire bowl of curry but not without loads of sweat.&#160; It&#39;s a fun show!&#160; I like it.....obviously.&#160; :-)<br />&#160;&#160;&#160; <br /> <div><br /></div></p>   <p style="clear:both;">

        <p>&#160; &#160;&#160; My mom and dad sent me a &quot;care&quot; package this weekend filled with some old VHS tapes that I like and other great things too.&#160; They sent some Disney VHS&#39;s&#160; like, &quot;Hercules&quot;, &quot;Sleeping Beauty&quot; and &quot;Mulan&quot; + more.&#160; They also sent me some of my sweaters that I didn&#39;t think I would need moving here from Denver, but I really am glad they did because it <strong><em>does</em></strong> get cold here sometimes.&#160; A few weeks ago, we actually got some snow.&#160; O___o&#160; I am wearing one of the sweaters now.&#160; ^___^&#160; It is cool, rainy and gray here today so I surely can wear one.&#160; I &lt;3 this kind of weather! My mom also sent me my favorite candy, &quot;Swedish Fish&quot; (gummies) and my dad included for me a little painted &quot;War Unicorn&quot; from his &quot;Warhammer&quot; series which he paints and collects alot.&#160; He knows I also collect Unicorn figures.&#160; (One of my MANY collections)<br />&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; My mom and dad are coming to visit me in a couple weeks.&#160; I am so excited!&#160; I miss them so much.&#160; We mostly have &quot;food&quot; plans so far.&#160; Food is an important part of Las Vegas though.&#160; There are <u>SO</u> many great places to eat here.&#160; When my parents do arrive, we are going to for sure eat at the &quot;Wynn Buffet&quot;.&#160; I ate there once and it was AMAZING!&#160; My dad really likes buffets so I know he will &lt;3 it too.&#160; We are of course going to do other things besides eating out, but eating out is just plain ol&#39; fun!!!!

        <p>&#160; &#160; Been listening to some jazz vocals in the morning when I am getting ready for work or when I just want to relax lately.&#160; I like the style of music reminiscent of <em>Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Doris Day</em> etc.&#160; I like <em>Michael Buble</em> and <em>Josh Groban</em>, whom I think most of us are familiar with.&#160; I also like a female artist in the same somewhat fashion of music named <em>Jane Monheit</em>.&#160; I bought her newest cd today and are listening to it right now as I type this.&#160; Some songs are slow and some are more upbeat.&#160; I don&#39;t buy many cds anymore because they are of course expensive and usually I only like 2 songs on them.&#160; In this case I like all the songs of each one of this artists cds.&#160; Might go make a cup of tea now, veg with Rocco and listen to some of this mellow music....... <br />

 is coming to see me this coming week.&#160; We have plans to go eat Korean food again and also go to <em>Margaritaville</em> on the strip to eat their legendary nachos!&#160; <em>Margaritaville</em>, I am told, is a J<em>immy Buffett</em> themed restaurant.&#160; My sister has been there before and wants me to also experience it too when she comes here with her.&#160; I think we will also do some shopping at the Chinatown stores and also get cupcakes at some of the many cupcake bakeries here.&#160; My sister loves her cupcakes!&#160; <br />&#160;&#160;&#160; This past weekend I bought my lil&#39; Rocco some new clothes.&#160; I bought him a tuxedo print sweater and also a tee which says on the back of course &quot;Squirrels can&#39;t be trusted&quot;.&#160; I inserted some pictures of each.&#160; They are absolutely adorable and Rocco really does like them.&#160; I think they are some

sort of &quot;security blanket&quot; item to him now.&#160; He is excited when I go to put him in them and has never bit at them or tried to rip them off ever!&#160; He is such a good boy. (Mamas boy)&#160; ^___~<br />&#160;&#160;&#160; Work is still great.&#160; 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.&#160; I really like my boss, co-workers, atmosphere, shift, etc.&#160; I can&#39;t really complain at all.<br />&#160;&#160;&#160; Christmas and New Years were fine. Wasn&#39;t quite the same not being with family.&#160; There felt an emptiness in the back of my heart and soul a bit.&#160; I worked New Years Eve and Day.&#160; They were just normal days, evenings, and nights for me.&#160; Rocco and I went to bed about 9pm on New Years Eve.&#160; We woke up for less than a minute at midnight of course due to some neighborhood fireworks.&#160; We then went right back to sleep and slept like babies.&#160; :-)<br />&#160;&#160;&#160; I am still really liking it here in Las Vegas.&#160; I never thought I would end up in this particular city, but things are wonderful and really working out for me.&#160; I can&#39;t complain as I said before in this entry about really anything in my life now.&#160; That is really neat to feel.&#160; :-)&#160;

 moving into her own office next week.&#160; She has been in the main office she shares with my co-worker and I for I do not know how long.&#160; She is constantly interrupted by different people from doing her own work with other managers giving her projects or silly questions from everyone like,&#160; &quot;How does the printer work?&quot; or &quot;Where is so and so?&quot;&#160; I seriously would be amazed if she goes more than five minutes without being interrupted.&#160; I feel bad for her in that way, but am happy now that she is getting her own office.&#160; Maybe she will be able to concentrate on her own work now?&#160; <strong>Does anyone have any good ideas for a &quot;new office&quot; funny gift???</strong><br />&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; My parents are coming to visit me next week from Colorado for an early Christmas with me.&#160; I am very excited.&#160; I miss my mom and dad so much but I have amazed myself as well as them of how strong I have been moving here all by myself.&#160; I mean I thought I would cry in loneliness and in missing them all of the time.&#160; I think Rocco has helped a great deal and also having such a great boss at work this time around.&#160; I did not like my old boss from the bank at all!!!<br />&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; Moving here on my own I think has not only helped me mature more, but also mature in my hobbies.&#160; I am not interested in anime or manga as much anymore. I still like it, but really do not

see myself collecting it as much as in the past. I still play my Nintendo DS lite and also now like to read &quot;real&quot; books more like <em>&quot;Mirror Mirror&quot;</em> by author <em>Gregory Maguire</em>.&#160; I also have uncovered my old passion for writing and creating stories again.&#160; I am happy either way with no anime or anime now I think.&#160; ^___~<br />&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; Today is going to be a relaxing day for Rocco and I.&#160; I just went to buy groceries at <em>Wal-Mart</em> this morning and now I plan on just staying home the rest of the day and not doing much.&#160; Sometimes that is the most fun thing to do!&#160; :-)</p>    <p style="clear:both;">

a lot in common.&#160; Will not go into detail on that but just f.y.i.&#160; :-) &#160; She is very funny and can take jokes and duel them out too.&#160; Her, my boss and I all work together in the same office daily and chat, gossip and work too together.&#160; :-)&#160; We talk about men, marriage and dating a lot which has to be our favorite subject.&#160; Tamar and my boss are both married.&#160; I am not.&#160; They seriously and jokingly sometimes too try to play matchmaker for me.&#160; They came to the prognosis, that I should have been born in 1926 instead of 86&#39; to live during the 50&#39;s since I am old-fashioned when it comes to manners, dress, men, and courtship.&#160; My boss says I am &quot;conservative&quot;.&#160; She is the one who thought I should have been born 60+ years earlier because I would have fit in perfectly with the women of the 50&#39;s.&#160; She also said I remind her of a character in the movie <em>&quot;Pleasentville&quot; </em>with<em> Reese Witherspoon and Toby McGuire.</em>&#160; I have never seen the movie, but she said to see it because she sees myself as someone in the movie.&#160; Not Reese Witherspoon&#39;s character she said though???&#160; Must go out and rent now so I may know what she is talking about......

really like my boss and co-workers.&#160; I do not have problems with anyone at work which is wonderful!&#160; They are all seriously great people there.<br />&#160;&#160; I set up my Christmas tree last night after I got home from work.&#160; My boss gave me one of her old trees which she wasn&#39;t going to use anymore.&#160; It is 4.5 feet and came with multi-colored lights already wrapped into the tree and it was very easy to set up.&#160; Rocco wasn&#39;t quite sure of it at first.<br />&#160;&#160;&#160; He is doing very well, my little chihuahua Rocco.&#160; I &lt;3 him.&#160; I bought him a sweater for $2.50 at <em>Target</em> a couple weeks ago and he seems to like it.&#160; He hasn&#39;t tried to claw at it, bite it or try to take it off himself in any way.&#160; He is a cutie!&#160; Well <span style="color: #ff9933"><u><em><strong>Happy Turkey Day</strong></em></u></span> everyone!&#160; &lt;3<br /> </p>   <p style="clear:both;">

&#160;&#160; It has been so long since I last wrote!&#160; Obviously.&#160; Things have been going great though!&#160; Work is work but like my job soooooo much better than at the bank.&#160; I feel so blessed.&#160; My co-workers are all great.&#160; I get along with everyone.&#160; I mean I work with a handful all the time but the other people I work with occasionally are great too.&#160; My apartment is starting to feel like home.&#160; I have it all decorated and complete. Enjoying my new home here in Vegas, but I still miss home a lot.&#160; I think I will miss the changing of all 4 seasons in Colorado the most.&#160; I like sweater weather and those days are very few here.&#160; <br />&#160;&#160; My sister came to visit me this past weekend for a few days.&#160; We had so much fun and it was so fun having her as a guest in my place.&#160; We went to the &quot;strip&quot; on Saturday night and saw the water/lights show at the &quot;Belagio.&quot;

&#160; We also ate dinner in the &quot;Mirage&quot; at a burger type place and went shopping at &quot;Caesar&#39;s Palace&quot;.&#160; We got home about 8:30 pm and went to bed soon after.&#160; We were both super tired.&#160; Staying up past 9pm now of days is hard for me.&#160; I get up at 5am 4 days a week and I just have gotten into this kind of sleep cycle of getting up early.&#160; Even on the weekends I get up before 7am.&#160; I digressed so back to my fun filled weekend with my sister.&#160; We ate at a delicious Korean restaurant twice.&#160; I &lt;3 Korean food.&#160; We also went to <em>In-N-Out </em>Burger and ordered pizza that Sunday we stayed in.&#160; We at an &quot;The Office&quot; marathon.&#160; My sister got me hooked now on that show.&#160; I have been watching them here on the computer using <em>Netflix</em>.&#160; I just started season 4, so that tells you how many episodes I have watched in a week.&#160; ^___~&#160; My favorite character is &quot;Michael&quot; played by actor &quot;Steve Carrell.&quot; <br />&#160; My new dog Rocco and I are doing great too.&#160; He is such a good boy.&#160; We

are very much attached and as chihuahuas are, I do think he is a little pocessive of me.&#160; I am trying to train him on being more social like on our walks.&#160; He trys to bolt after other dogs that are being walked too and he barks, spins and exhausts himself.&#160; I am training him on these walks by letting the other dogs and their owners pass feeding him a treat only if he behaves himself with no lunging and excessive barking etc.&#160; I am reading online and books at the bookstore on how to change this behavior.&#160; We are working together Rocco and I!&#160; &lt;3<br /> </p>   <p style="clear:both;">
