Speaking of cheesecake

The poster hung conveniently at the elevator banks on the casino level, right across from the Orchid Lounge where I got coffee every day. Talk about startin’ a day with a smile!

Oh, and did I mention that Daughtry is the opening act? What the FUCK am I doing back in D.C. right now?!?!



Cheesecake. Cheesecake!

(Imagine me saying the title like Eric Cartman screams “Beefcake. BeefCAKE!”)

Otherwise known as “what I want for my birthday.”

He’ll be autographing these limited-edition prints on Saturday at Mandalay Bay. Hmm, Mandalay Bay … wasn’t I there, oh, just YESTERDAY?!?!

*bonk*

In any event, de-lish!

Here are the Qs from last week, since I missed it:

1. What was the highlight of your weekend?
Being in Vegas was fabulous. I really enjoyed the beach at Mandalay Bay, even though I was there for 90 minutes and walked away with a wicked sunburn. It just felt good to be outside, with my feet in the water and the sun on my shoulders, just feeling alive.

2. How often do you get your hair cut?
I usually rip out the scissors and hack at it when I can’t figure out what else to do with it. Every two months, maybe.

3. Can you drive a stick shift?
Not a chance.

4. If someone gave you $1,000 to spend on yourself, how would you spend it?
I’m sad to say, “That’s all?” God, I’ve gotten expensive in my old age. I’d go buy myself a 33rd (gasp!) birthday present on Friday. Or perhaps save it next month for the iPhone, although I think I’m just going to buy a Pearl and an iPod mini till I can afford the next-gen iPhone incarnation.

5. What are you most afraid of?
What goes around, not coming around.

6. Do you have any vacations planned for the summer?
Had to cancel my last vacation, got sick on this vacation. I’m going for third time’s a charm here, peeps. My friend in North Carolina is beckoning hard for me to come see her new house. I think that’s the plan, although I would never turn down any good offers if they came along. 😉

7. What is your non-alcoholic beverage of choice?
Sweet tea.

8. What is your favorite kind of cereal?
Life Chocolate Oat Crunch

9. What color looks best on you? Do you wear it often?
I get the most compliments with pink and baby blue, although I usually wear black or brown because I can slobber and spill and nobody will notice.

10. Ask me something.
Is Chipotle paying you to cheer for Chipotle Tuesdays as a new national holiday? 😉



History repeats itself

The last time I hired somebody, I got deathly sick, to the point of being in the hospital for a week and recovering at home the next week when the poor girl was barely on the job a month. This time around, I had my new hire for three days before spending a week in Vegas and now trying to overcome this food poisoning thingy.

I feel bad giving these great people such a trial by fire, but it always goes to show that I picked folks with initiative, drive and the ability to work independently. So, I guess this is how I get them to pass the test! Although I do wonder what strain of plague I’ll get the next time I bring someone on board. …
