Love the Police Volunteer in Vegas...I feel very safe walking the streets now.

After having the police volunteer escort us safely across the bridge, we decided to go back to the Cosmopolitan hotel and hit the tables! Played 3 card poker for my first time...and what a great first time it was. Was entertained and complimented by several drunk (to be nice) fellows, with Ricky standing right behind me. Apparently I have some spectacular first molars (one was an orthodontist), as well as some perfect teeth. The ortho asks Ricky "Do you ever notice how great her smile is?" Ricky goes: "Oh yeah, every now and then." haha. I won a few hands and moved onto the blackjack tables where we stayed for about 3 hours and endless Cosmos! With the winnings from blackjack we enjoyed ourselves some fantastic Seabass and Lobster tail. Yummy!

Saw Santana live at the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas. What an awesome show!

Afterward we enjoyed the Vegas nightlife at the Cosmopolitan hotel with my prima, Christina. That hotel is so amazing, very chic! Loved it!

Spent the evening with our old roomies, my Bro & Arlen, and was entertained by their new dog Rudy. And let me tell you this 2 lb dog is one fast runningback! He can carry that football all over the house! 

In world news today, New Zodiac Signs...my entire life is turned upside down. I am no longer a Capricorn?!?!?! I am now a Sagittarius! A half man half horse?!?! WHAT?! I am neither a man nor a horse....this is absurd! That will not look good next to my Capricorn tattoo....gotta think about this one!

Came home to a snow pile of fluff from Dakota's pillow that she decided to destroy. But after seeing her nice and cozy with her bone (& protective of it), I couldn't stay mad at her.

Monday, January 10, 2010 ~ my 26th BIRTHDAY!!!!

While I had to force myself up (which does not get any easier as you get older, in fact, it gets harder) to go to work...it was nice to go into my office with this present waiting for me from my manager. The rest of the day consisted of jamming to pandora in my office, phone calls from family and friends, my little cousins singing Happy Birthday to me, and then dinner and cocktails with my buff and beau.  I am one lucky girl!

After 4 instant movies of Netflix, Rick says: "We need to get our act together and get out of the house." Where we end up...a wine bar on Santana Row. And the birthday celebration continues.

During the day got a new hair-do, went shopping, and got all dolled up for my bday celebration!! The family met me at Cascal for dinner...flamenco inspired music band, pitchers of sangria, tapas, and made my birthday wish as I blew out the candle off some amazing flan! After dinner...met my friends at Carlos Club and danced the night away. And surprise guest who joined us....my mother! what a trooper! :-) Gotta love that woman! Overall.....a great way to bring in my 26 years of life!

Great start to my bday weekend...first started with Wine Fridays at work. Yes, now every Friday, wine cocktail hour to wrap up the week. Gotta love the drug company! Followed by happy hour at Nola's in Palo Alto. This glass did not stay empty for very long, decided to take the picture as I waited for my next glass. It's my birthday, should we expect any less?!?! Cheers

After a long busy day at work, a night of relaxation was in need. Lit some candles, opened a bottle of wine, turned the TV on and watched me some Modern Family! ....a nice little Wednesday evening, eh?

Definitely not ready to be back at work....supposed to be working on a presentation I have to give tomorrow.....but too excited about my VEGAS trip for my birthday! Santana will be performing that weekend!!! Which also means need to do a little fitness prior to Vegas..hence the mindbodyzone screen.

Tonight I created a shadow box with the corks we collected from the many many many bottles of wine we consumed (over time people, not in 1 night!) Although it would not have been right if a glass of wine did not accompany me with this project. :-D CHEERS!
