Don’t you hate when you have to buy extras to make something work?

by

You know, when we bought our HD DLP television a few years ago .. 2004 I believe, it didn’t even come with any HDMI switches. In fact at that time you really couldn’t even buy this type of connection in Canada, but of course if you want the best performance out of your HD television or say an HD DVD player (like we have) you really need one of these connections.

I can’t tell you how much that ticked me off when I found out that it didn’t have an HDMI connection. Oh sure it has the outlet for it, but the vital connection wasn’t included in what was then a close to $5000 TV?

I think I’m going to get one of these switches now so that we can hook up the HD PVR and the HD TV. Who knows, maybe we’ll get a second one so that we can also connect the HD dvd player with one as well. Naturally all of these items work with lesser connections but I bet the picture is so much better with an HDMI.





I really enjoyed Chicago

This weeks theme is I loved Chicago

I know I’m just back from Las Vegas, but I was busy and I was sick while I was there so while I enjoyed the city … well the strip I mean, I didn’t get a really good feel for the town. Chicago, on the other hand, which I visited last year, I managed to get a really good feel for and I just loved that city!

I found Chicago to be very much like the city I live in – Toronto. Yes of course there are major differences, but there are also a lot of similarities. I felt very comfortable there as I explored the downtown area. I’d definitely return to Chicago for another visit!

My husbands a flirt!

Wordless Wednesday

Heather, Chris and Crystal

My husbands quite a character as a lot of bloggers found out when we were in Vegas this past week. Above is a photo of him Schmoozing it up with Heather from Beautiful BC and her daughter Crystal.

As if that weren’t enough he got real close and in your face with Heather

Chris and Heather

And then flirted with her daughter Crystal too!

Chris gets fresh with Crystal

What a guy!

Oh and in case your wondering – he’s like this all the time! He’s quite a character to live with!

I seem to have a number of photos of Heather with two drinks in her hands. Must have been a tough flight. Perhaps she was de-stressing? 🙂

You can see more photos from my trip to Vegas at Flickr.

What’s with the Tiaras?

by

Maybe one of you can help me figure out something that we kept seeing in Vegas? Whenever we were walking the strip at night or if we were in a bar we kept seeing girls wearing tiaras? What’s up with that?

Were these girls out celebrating and having their bachlorette parties or is this a new look that I’m behind on discovering?

We did see a few brides carrying their wedding flowers. They probably got married in one of the casino wedding chapels. I didn’t realize it but there was a wedding chapel in the hotel that we stayed in, that’s why I suspect every hotel on the strip probably has one!

Chris kept seeing women that he was sure were transvestites. Yes I know there are probably a lot in Vegas, but probably not too many more than we have here in Toronto. Hopefully he didn’t mistake too many real women! LOL

I’d definitely go back to Vegas again. I’ll make sure I’m feeling 100% next time though! There’s so much to see and do that you really want to be feeling your best so that you can do as much as possible.

We’re home and I’m freezing!

We’re back from Las Vegas!

I was just saying on my gardening blog that I already miss the Vegas weather as it’s cold and dreary here in Toronto! I am, however, very glad to be home since I continued to be quite sick while I was away on my trip and managed to get even sicker!

It’s much better to be at home when you feel absolutely horrible. If my Crohn’s acting up wasn’t enough I woke up with a terribly sore throat this morning. I’ve been drinking warm liquids all day and sometimes it feels a bit better but then it gets worse again. I hope it’s just post nasal drip or something making my throat feel so bad and not strep throat or something.

Other than not feeling very well while I was in Las Vegas I managed to have a good time. I met up with some bloggers that I’ve known for years, others that I’ve only known a short while and hopefully made a few new blogging friends too.

We never managed to have time to try out the gambling in Vegas, so I missed out on that experience -gambling virgin that I am! Oh well. We did go out to a few clubs, one of which was the famous TAO nightclub at the Venetian Hotel.

TAO is huge! It’s a beautiful nightclub though, and the staff were very friendly. Oh and their finger foods were delicious! They served us spring rolls, sushi, won tons filled with shrimp and lobster, Kobe beef mini hamburgers and tiny deserts. I’m sure there were a few other finger foods that I missed too. All were delicious!

On Thursday night my husband and I got together with Mr. Fab from Pointless Drivel. He’d already eaten but he met us at the Outback while we ate. We then got in touch with some of the other bloggers that were in town for the convention and we all eventually met up at a bar called Tattoo Alley.

What a great time!

The band was fantastic and I think we all had a good time drinking and talking and joking around. My husband Chris bought a feathered boa for Mr. Fab and when the other bloggers joined up with us the boa got passed around. I think Colleen or Jules were last scene wearing it.

I’ve got lots of photos to upload and post. Some could be embarrassing to those who were with us that night! I’ll get them up soon!

More about my trip later. I’m still recovering!
