Is it Cushie on my Tushie?

So in light of my recent Las Vegas trip, I have come to one very strong conclusion. If you want to know if a casino or hotel is worthy of your stay you need to check the toilet paper. While every where you go there are public rest rooms available. However some are cleaner than others and most use cheap toilet paper...
Toilet Paper Pyramid by Pygo.
You know the kind... The cheap stuff that scratches your ass as you wipe. I really hate this toilet paper and it can be found at most casino and hotels. This is also the toilet paper found at most schools and public facility type places.

The next level is a medium toilet paper, it isn't the most favored, but it doesn't scratch my ass either. The casino's that I found this at were Treasure Island, Mirage, Four Queens and a couple of other "MID grade casinos".

My favorite is of course the toilet paper that sinks in and does the job it was intended for. It is a beautiful thing to find a nice toilet paper... So if you are wondering can be found at Wynn, Bellagio, Mandalay Bay and downtown at Freemont.

Baseball

While I love sports I never thought I would like baseball. It's one of those sports I couldn't even stand to watch. Of course, I had never watched an entire game and most of the time I would try very hard to avoid it.

Whenever my husband put it on TV I would leave the room. Now I have always loved other sports and sporting events. I have watched more football in my life than any girl should probably admit to. I am faithful to the Packers even when they are losing or doing stupid things I don't like. I love NASCAR and have a list of favorite and not so favorite drivers to watch, scream at and admire. I like watching the X-games, ice skating, cheerleading, gymnastics, etc...

But I had never found my love for baseball. Well that all changed when I was persuaded into going to a Brewers game a couple seasons back. Jason had been pestering me for awhile to go and when my work offered super cheap tickets and a bus ride I decided it was time to go. The bus ended up being over crowded so we drove down seperately and ended up having a great time.

There is just something about being in the live stadium that you can't get anywhere else. We have since been to several Brewers games and have enjoyed them all. We have only found 1 set of tickets I wouldn't purchase again. (Behind the visiting teams bull pen, as you can't see 1/2 the field or the big scoreboard.) The stadium snaps with energy and the nachos and dots ice cream are to die for.

So we are going to go again in September at least once, probably a couple of times. So why am I writing about what appears to be non sense? Well the Brewers made some good choices today to finally try to end their horrible losing streak and while I don't especially love to watch baseball on TV at least now I can tolerate it.

So Happy Brewers day and may they win tonight.

The Beauty of Sleep

Now don't get me wrong I love to sleep. However, I wonder why I don't like to sleep at night. I am one of those types of people who would rather stay up all night, and then get to sleep late into the day. However, once I've decided to go to sleep I rarely have a hard time falling asleep. So here's a poem about sleep...

Oh how I love to sleep
From me you will not hear a peep
Give me a minute to lay
It can be night or day

For I wish I could get more
But then life might be a bore
Oh a moment to sit and dream
Sleeping makes me beam!
