Ah Vegas the city of lights....

Vegas the city that never sleeps - here are some Vegas facts for you - Just in case you ever wondered!

Number of slot machines in the city 197,144

Annual visitors to Las Vegas, in millions 36.7

Number of conventions hosted annually 3749

Amount in miles of lighted neon tubing on the Strip and Downtown 15,000

Year first casino was licensed 1931

Annual state gaming revenue, in billions of dollars 9 (that is a whole wack of cash!)

I just thougth those were some interesting if not somewhat random facts I found about Vegas. It is a place like no other, and one very interesting place to people watch. People from all walks of life, young, old ( I can not believe the number of stroller's people are pushing!) All that is interesting but we are here to work, and work we do - today we were in classes from 8 am - 6:30 pm. Our brains are full of tons of great stuff - here are a few photos from our day!

and to close.... the wraper of the Dove chocolate today " Smile and you will sleep soundly today"

I do not think there will be any trouble there tonight.

Good night all.

Talk to you soon ( photos tomorrow???? we will see what is coming and let you know)

Don't fall over... or faint!

I would not want any of you to fall over because it is only 8:30 and I have already sent the INKLING! That is one for the history books for sure - you better make note of it because the likely hood of it happening again is slim to none! You see it is a rare occasion that it is quiet enough in the house at this time of night for me to concentrate and get my thoughts together, but tonight for some reason the girls were getting ready for tomorrow!
Lining up books, paper, pens..... I am doing the happy dance here on the eve of the first day of school.

September 1st

Sometimes we simply make life more difficult / stressful than we need to. Every once in a while as I wander through my blog reading I come across something that truly makes me think, THIS was one such entry. Melody Ross founder of Chatterbox inc, and current creative director is one of the most down to earth bloggers I read. Her "Today's to-do list" hit home with me I hope you will all enjoy it too.
I would add a few more to the list to choose from - clean, say NO if needed, LIVE!

It really can be that simple if we want it to be. We simply have to learn to say NO and stick to it.
Think on it a minute - let me know what you think.....
Happy September 1st!
