Big Pimpin'

Look real close.

Do you know who that is?

That's Sean Corey Carter, of course.

Or JAY-Z.

This man has done a lot in his 41 years on this planet. He is probably one of the most influential hip hop, no scratch that, musical artists of all time. And he married Beyonce how I don't know. Jigga man is busted. Ballin, but busted.

Vegas is on and poppin for New Year's Eve (and many other night but ESPECIALLY New Year's Eve) and the huge billboards displaying who will be performing here is hard to miss. So as I drove along Las Vegas Blvd and noticed the new Cosmopolitan Hotel, I wondered who was going to play there since it's so swanky in there.

Sure enough, Jay-Z will be performing there and he was reportedly paid ONE MILLION DOLLARS for his performance. Holy mother of money! I saw Jay Z live last year and he puts on one hell of show!

You go Jigga man! Jigga what? Jigga who? Jigga big pimpin. Jigga will be my sunshine...ok I'm done with the Jay-Z song references.......

Blizzard, Beauty, Buffet, Baffled

I know-I'm late it's almost midnight and I haven't blogged and part of my resolution was to step up my blog game. But, hey, it's still 12/27 in my eyes.

First topic----BLIZZARD.

I was woken up by all the beautiful winter wonderland facebook posts!!! I am slightly jealous! Although my brother said he shoveled til his fingers fell off-womp.

Next------Beauty.

I got a pedicure. Nuff said.

Next up is Buffet.

Today the family and I hit up the Red Rock Casino here in Summerlin, Nevada and since there is a special for the month of December (6.99 lunch buffet-very tasty) we decided to hit that up for lunch after the museum. Alex ate til he puked. Nuff said.

Baffled. Why?

As I was winding down and catching up on Monday Night Football, I stumbled upon a quote from the Governor of Pennsylvania. On Sunday night, the Vikings/Eagles game was postponed until Tuesday night because of the blizzard that was about to smack the Northeast. Turns out Philly only got 5 inches of snow and the Governor Ed Rendell (D) responded by saying, and I quote....

"We've become a nation of wussies. The Chinese are kicking our butt in everything. If this was in China, do you think the Chinese would have called off the game? People would have been marching down to the stadium, they would have walked and they would have been doing calculus on the way down."

I know everyone is entitled to their opinion, but this guy should STFU, like many other politicians out there.

On the day after Christmas, my true love gave to me...

Today is Sunday December 26 and what is so great about a Sunday in December...FOOTBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a blizzard on the eastern seaboard that's going in hard which has made the Vikings/Eagles game move to Tuesday.

Here on the west coast, I am watching the Jets/Bears game and its quite the nail biter. It's been a see saw, but the Jets are up 21-17 and its halftime. The Dolphins are up (miracle) 17-10. The Patriots are spanking the Bills 24-3 and the Chiefs are beating the Titans 24-7.

In NBA news, the fricken Magic beat the Celtics and the stupid Lakers lost to the Heat. The Magic snapped the Celtics 14 game winning streak on Christmas Day while celebs like Tiger Woods looked on.

Enough about sports because I'm getting pissed now. On my flight to Vegas, I saw a movie called "Ramona and Beezus" which starred Selena Gomez and Tom Brady's baby momma, Bridget Moynahan. It was cute, but since that only took 2 hours, the flight started playing tv shows, one of which was 30 Rock. That ish was funny. I don't know why I haven't been watching it(maybe my reality tv addiction had something to do with it) but I will from now on make every attempt to watch it.

Next topic....the DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS SALES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of these sales are off the chain. Of course Macy's will be holding it down, as well as Target, and Kohl's(not a HUGE fan but they aight). Gamestop has a sale-all used games are buy 2 get 1 free which isn't bad for my Alex. I just wish airlines would have these kind of sales.......damn recession!

It's Christmas Morning!

Today is December 25, 2010!! I can't frickin' believe it. The year is almost over, this crappy year is almost over, I should say. Today I woke up to my phone going off about 17 times-east coast folks not thinking for people on vacation on the west coast-but it was all "Merry Christmas" mass texts. A great way to wake up! Tomorrow the fam and I will probably hit up Target or a dollar store so we can buy Christmas stuff 75% off for our home here. Right now its a crisp 49 degrees out with not a cloud in the sky! I love this weather. The fam and I are in our fleece pajama pants and warming up with the heater on. My mom is obssessed with being thin so she went for a walk, while Alex is playing a new video game, Abby is reading all cozied up in bed, and Gustavo went back to sleep. I love Christmas because everything is closed which forces you to chill out at least one day with the family!

Merry Christmas :)

Merry Christmas to all!!!!!!!

I have decided that I have slacked on the blog scene, so I am back due to popular demand. I am in Las Vegas now and the weather is perfect-not too cold, not hot. Earlier was family and present time over at my uncle's house and Alex opened his gifts already. Some are still in Florida because I didn't want him to take too many things on the flight back home.

Here in Vegas things are chillin'. There is no traffic and I even went to target and other stores and no rude people, cashiers were actually doing their job , and found parking easily.

Alex got a new Phineas and Ferb(LOVE THEM) DVD and we are watching it together while he is dazing in and out of sleep. He had a great Christmas and can't wait to relax tomorrow and just chill around the house!

XOXO
