What Happens In Vegas…

Posted by jarret on January 2, 2012 in events, life, travel |

… gets plastered all over the internet for everyone to see. Rather than spend hours writing a ginormous blog post about our Vegas trip, we thought we’d show you instead. We spent days wandering up and down the Strip, checking out the various hotels and casinos, catching shows, hitting up Fremont street, and of course, taking hundreds of photos. So, grab a beverage or two, sit back, and (hopefully) enjoy the videos! …continue reading

Finding A Forever Home

Posted by jarret on June 9, 2011 in animals, life |

If any of you know Stephanie and I, you know that we’re big softies for four legged creatures. We currently have two dogs and three cats of our own, and all of them have been rescues. We’ve also had another dog and three other cats that have spent their lives with us, and they too have been rescues. There’s something about cute little fuzzy friends that are just too much to resist. We’d talked in the past about fostering other dogs on a temporary basis until they could find their forever homes …continue reading

Life In The Center of The Universe

Posted by jarret on July 27, 2010 in life, sports, travel |

Or, “Our Quick Excursion to Toronto”. I used the phrase “Center of the Universe” to describe Toronto because that’s the way most of us in the West of this great country feel about Toronto; they get everything, the government caters to them, we’ve been assaulted with FAR too many Maple Leaf games on CBC… everything in this country seems to revolve around Toronto, or at least, that’s the way it feels sometimes. Didn’t feel like that when we traveled there, though. Stephanie and I went to …continue reading

Progress

Posted by jarret on July 13, 2010 in fitness, life |

So, it’s been a while since I’ve updated this thing. I’m going to try and remedy that, really, I am. I should be posting a lot more. Otherwise, why have the damned site? Life’s been busy, as I’m sure it is for everyone at most times. Work’s been hectic, plus boot camp (the reason for this post!), helping out with dog agility, getting ready to go to Toronto this week (can anyone say TRANSFORMERSCON?!?!), and the myriad of other things that go on in our lives from day to day. But, I won’t bore …continue reading

A Message to Team Fantini

Posted by jarret on February 1, 2010 in fitness, life |

Or as Steph calls it: Team Awesome, lol. Time to begin the journey, folks. It’s gonna be rough. There’s going to be times where we might all just want to say “fuck it” and pack it in. It’s gonna be hard. But we’re in good hands with Jason. The guy sounds like he really knows his shit. If we just follow what he tells us, and we work hard, it’s going to be awesome, indeed! For those times where you DO just want to say “fuck it”, keep in mind the video below. We can do it! …continue reading

Vegas: The Voyage Home

Posted by jarret on January 7, 2010 in life, travel |

Or, Leaving Las Vegas. Or… nah, there’s no other Vegas-appropriate movie titles I can come up with.Our last morning in Vegas, we arranged for a late check out, since we needed time to pack up and make sure that we weren’t going to be leaving anything thousands of miles away from home.Translation: We had to find a way to fit everything Stephanie bought into the same suitcases we came with. :) After heading downstairs, we check out, and find out the next available shuttle to the airport will be …continue reading

Welcome Back: Vegas: Day 4

Posted by jarret on January 6, 2010 in animals, events, life, theater, travel |

What-a-do, everybody? Welcome back to the blog, and Happy New Year to y’all. I hope everyone had an excellent holiday season, and we’re all healthy and happy. I know we’re all a few pounds heavier thanks to all the massive amounts of food! Mmmm… Aunt Elvie’s meatballs!! So, where were we? Oh yeah… Vegas. Day 4 of 5. This was going to be our last full day in Vegas, so we had a lot planned. The weather continues to be awesome. Should have pulled out the shorts while I could! Hmm. Maybe …continue reading

Vegas: Day 3

Posted by jarret on December 16, 2009 in life, travel |

After a late night overload of gambling, thrill rides at 1000 feet in the air, and lots of great boobs, we’ve slept in a bit on Day 3. I had a horrible sleep, like the pillow was trying to constantly suffocate me (or was that just Steph trying to cash in on the insurance money?), so we took a while to get mobile. When we did, it was off for morning (late morning) fuel, so we headed over to the Rainforest Cafe. Yeah, I know, it’s a national chain (take THAT, Brent!), but it’s somewhere Stephanie …continue reading

Vegas: Day 2

Posted by jarret on December 14, 2009 in events, life, theater, travel |

So, how do we follow up the extra-spectacular eye-candy that was KA the night before? You don’t, really. TOMORROW IS A NEW DAY! We open up Day 2 with brunch. Specifically, the MGM Grand buffet (on this blog, pronounced “boo-fay”, in honor of Phoebe on the “Friends” TV show). We’ve been told by everyone – “You have to check out the buffets!”, so here we are. And, let me tell you, Mister (or whatever title you prefer)… WHAT A SPREAD. There’s like a dozen rows of glass stations, …continue reading

Vegas: Day 1

Posted by jarret on December 10, 2009 in events, life, theater, travel |

So, after a pair of $6 tickets to ride part of the Strip from the airport to our hotel, we arrive at the front door of the MGM Grand. On the outside, it’s really big. And really green. On the inside, it’s rather spectacular at first look. The main lobby floor is covered in shiny white marble, streaked with black. On the left, is the MGM Grand & Company Store, where they look to take even more of your gambling money away with merchandise sales. On the right, the hotel’s business services …continue reading
