This weekend was a lot of fun. Headed out to vegas for Auntie Luz's bday and houseblessing. Its a really nice place and she deserves it. Actually made most of the drive out there...even though i usually get really sleepy doing the vegas drive. Once we got there...basically just chilled with the family...eating and watching Ocean's 11. The real fun didnt' start till we hit the strip =p.

I had been hyping up this drink at Star Trek Encouter...that i always had good luck with. So all of us headed over there to experience the WARP CORE BREACH*. To my surprise, they also started a new drink called the BORG SPHERE - click for pics. Both served in fishbowls...requiring at least 2 people to order...due to the amount of alcohol in it. Call it geek if you want...that stuff can knock you out....but simply gave all of us a really good buzz.

After that, mantha and I decided to hit up the new Borg encounter...while the rest of the group hit the slots. The shows were ok...but I still liked the original ride better. Once mantha and i finished, we found our cousins...and learned they had been doing pretty well at the craps table. Everyone was leaving with some extra cash. To top it off, my aunt was doing ok at the Jackpot Party slot machine....that we all helped contribute to her success. The bonus feature of the game is that if you hit 3 party horns on the screen, you get a bonus area, where you pick from a group of "presents" revealing total credits to be added to your total. At the end of it, she scored over 2000 + nickles...and all of us cousins picked some pretty high numbers. After that, we headed back to my aunt's house...then eventually home. Pretty good for one day. =p

On Sunday, i met the family of the home i just bought and picked up the keys. Its really official now. I never really wanted to say much till i had the keys in hand...but now that is done. Great people...and and even better house. Still don't know how i'm gonna do it all...decorating and stuff. Fortunately was kicking it with Rico...and he started giving me some ideas. Personally, I'm thinking of theming each room...with a different subject. Right now its Asian in the kitchen...european in the living room....somewhere i want a hawaiian room. FOr now though..just need to figure out how i'm gonna move in.

Any suggestions on themes?
