don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem baby girl...

We stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada last week. As you would expect the hotelroom was furnished in pieces that were modern, edgy and sexy. Unfortunately, they were also bruised and beaten by the long line of rockstar-wannabes who had spent $99 a night to fufill their Vegas dreams. I was there for work and on one particularly memorable weekday, I had to be at a TV studio before 4a.m.... imagine my suprise when three stripper-chic 20 year old's without last names smoked cigarettes in the elevator while I was wearing khaki's and pearls... don't get me wrong, I love my job.

24 hours in Lubbock, TX

I spent 24 hours in Lubbock, TX. This is what there is to do there...

new name, new attitude

I decided to re-name my blog. out with the old in with the sunshine.


this is me at Clearwater beach. It has the most beautiful sand I've ever set foot on. My trip to Tampa was absolutely fabulous. There are fantastic restaurants, great people and everything is relatively affortable. You're so close to the ocean, nightlife and suprisingly, a depth of culture. I like my job.

The MMM tour stop in Tampa was a great success!

Dream #437 Came True.

Apparently, God loves me enough to allow my dreams to come true, no matter how silly. Some are larger than others. This one came in the form of a staged photograph of a half-sleeping koala at the Toranga Zoo. I had tears in my eyes as I waited in line to be near this little furry bugger. As I type this the poinent lyrical stylings of none other than Aerosmith fill my mind... Dream On Dream On Dream On ...Dream until your dreams come true... God help me.

And so it begins again...

It's time for me to spread my wings and rack up my frequent flyer miles again! I start travelling for the got milk? tour in just a few weeks. My first stop of many is Tampa, FL where I will be spending almost a week exploring all the gulf-side has to offer... not to mention an appearance at the fanciful and deliciously named Strawberry Festival.

...let the good times pour.

Australia will knock your socks off.

I'm going to do about 7 posts about Australia b/c it's so freaking amazing... but I thought I'd start with this photo of Mona Vale Beach. 

Breathtaking, right?
