Carlo and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary of moving to Las Vegas by heading to Tucson on Friday for the weekend. We went to visit Carlo’s brother Les and celebrate his 35th birthday with him. We had a great weekend and it was lots of fun to spend time with my future brother-in-law. Tucson [...]

Carlo Turns 30
Carlo celebrated his big 3-0 a couple of weeks ago. To celebrate, Carlo and I ran the Six Tunnels to Hoover Dam Half Marathon in honor of him moving up to the 30-34 age group racing category.
It was a pretty cool half marathon that went through Lake Mead National Park and then followed the old [...]

When Blogs Collide…
Last night we had a fun time with Bethany at the Red Rock Bingo. Unfortunately, none of us won or really came close, but it was fun nonetheless.
Carlo and I have become quite the bingo goers lately and are looking to go pro. So far our Bingo cash winnings equal $467, but we are holding [...]

Vegas Celeb Sighting 3
One of the many “perks” of my job is that I get invited to quite a few Vegas social events. Most of the time the events are fairly lame and definitely work but a couple of weeks ago, I was invited to the opening of Wolfgang Puck’s new restaurant Cut at the Palazzo. We were [...]

Alex does the OC
At the beginning of March, I went to Laguna Beach for the opening of LVAM’s Las Vegas Diaspora exhibition at the Laguna Art Museum. I was looking forward to soaking up some sun and hanging out at the beach, but Orange County proved to live up to every bad stereotype of Southern California. It was [...]

We <3 SF
At the beginning of March, Carlo and I escaped Vegas and headed to San Francisco for the weekend. Living in Vegas can kind of get us down sometimes with its lack of cultural amenities and normal bars without video poker, so it was great to go to San Fran and recharge our batteries. We ate [...]

Vegas Celeb Sighting
I was just at lunch with some girls from work at Rachel’s, our local lunch spot, and saw TV magician Criss Angel come in and order lunch to go. He is a lot thinner in real life and didn’t have the drug bloat going on. He looked like a tool though.

Boo’s Second Life
Here is an interesting article on how we can remember our furry little critter Boo after he goes. He sure is shedding a ton right now, so I’m sure I could knit sweaters for an army!

Very Vegas Moment 1: The Showgirl Must Go On
Last month I had a very Vegas moment. My boss Libby was invited to the opening night of the Bette Midler show at Caesars and took me as her date. I’m not a huge Bette Midler fan, but I thought it would be fun to go to the premiere and check out the show.
We ended [...]

Crack Dealer for Running
Last month Carlo and I went to Austin to run the Austin Half Marathon, or at least that was our excuse to head back to our former home, catch up with friends, and reacquaint ourselves with the cheesy deliciousness that is queso (no where does queso like Austin!).
In the fall, I had sent out an [...]
