Alternately: A date with Ozzy Osbourne
I've been on a pretty good streak the last couple weeks. On the 13th, I got a phone call to tell me that I'd won a draw to be one of the first 25 in line to see The Dog Whisperer himself, Cesar Millan, in a meet in greet on the 15th. On the 14th, it was Cesar's seminar (more on that coming up), and on the 15th, Stephanie and I got to meet him!
Then on the 17th, I got an email from the folks at LiveNation, informing me that I'd won a pair of tickets to

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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,

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

I should have done this sooner, but this will be the first of several entries chronicling our trip to Las Vegas from Nov 30th to Dec 2nd, for all to relive our trip with us. I’ll be posting photos separate from this blog, as there’s just too many. We took almost 400 pictures! I’ll post an update here when the photos get uploaded. Pre-Trip: Graciously, Stephanie’s mom and dad offered (were volunteered?) to take care of our dogs Cola and Kira, and our cats Kitty, Jazz, and Zoey while we were
