Living Las Vegas
You'd think being unemployed would give me plenty of time for things like blogging and the such..but somehow days turned to weeks and it's been nearly a month since my last post. But I'm back.Two months in Nevada and it feels like I've been here forever. It's a good thing. The weather is awesome (60 days, barely a day below 100 degrees -- it's a dry heat!), the people are great, and the food is so much better than anything east. And living here is so much different from just coming for a vacation on the strip.
The people everywhere are so friendly..almost to a fault. There have been several times I've been stuck at a grocery store checkout with clerks who just won't stop chatting! But after years of isolation and apathetic customer service, I eat this up!
The city is set up like a big grid, which makes sense to me. We had no internet for a week when we first moved out here and had no problems getting around. After 4 years in Boston, I still felt lost without good google map directions.
The casinos are fun, and there are so many awesome restaurants in the ones off the strip. And joining all those clubs means plenty of coupons for discounted meals! (2 buffets for 5 bucks, come on!!!)
And a house twice as big as my last place for just a little more than half what I paid back east..and I don't have to shovel?!?!? This is heaven!!
Oh, and did I mention a sky so big with an awesome new sunset every night? Palm trees in my neighbor's backyard, with shade for me to sit?!? And awesome backyard set up for hours of relaxing?!?!?? Sun tea kissed by the hot, desert sun?!?!?!?!!!
Ah, home!
