I'm actually enjoying living in Las Vegas

For all my bitching about how miserable I've been living in Las Vegas and how it is the seventh circle of hell, I actually had a really nice weekend. Living in a house (even if it is a tract home) in a nice neighborhood makes all the difference in the world. It is SO nice to be in Summerlin.

On Saturday we left the house for a run to the apartment (still in our last legs of clearing it out) and there were garage sales on the corner with a little girl selling lemonade. We had to stop. She was really cute and completely stealing the business from her friend across the street. We couldn't even tell that he was selling lemonade until we were leaving because his sign was completely black. I guess this will be his first mistake in marketing.

While we were at the apt, LBC called us and asked us to meet them at TI for the 2pm tourney. John will occasionally do this with me and I hadn't been to TI since well before Xmas. I was nervous as to what my dealer friends would say, but they greeted me with hugs and smiles, and of course, look what the cat dragged in. John went all the way to cash so we were there a while and before we knew it, it was time for Wranglers hockey. We could drive the 30 min back to the house, only to turn around and drive back - so we had a great Italian dinner at Pasta Mia on Flamingo and then went to the game. I don't think we've done that in ages. Left the house at noon and didn't come back till 10pm at night. A real Saturday.

On Sunday we had Chops, Lady Chops and Baby Chops over for breakky. Just bagels and fruit outside by the pool. These are the things you can enjoy when you don't live in an apartment.

So, for however long we live in Vegas (still won't know about the Carlsbad house for another week) - I will not complain. I love living in Summerlin. As long as there will be kids having lemonade stands and neighbors waving at us as we drive in.

This is your editor speaking, who says, with tongue in cheek, "I can't wait to hang out at your new Vegas pad, even if it is just a tract house."

Thank you editor. Your bed arrived today. I didn't like the delivery guys so I didn't offer them water. And then I felt bad about it. We'll go to buy you new bedding tonight.

See you soon! Want to play the $125 bounty tourney at TI on Sat night at 7pm? If you're out of the deep stack. $50 for every loser you bust.
