I have 34 days until I begin my next phase in life. I can't wait to live in Vegas, be in our house and begin my new job opportunity. So, I have quite a few days left to see my friends and family before I depart. I don't want to think of it as Goodbye, but rather "I'll see you soon"...
If you want to hang, let me know!

a new beginning
As we all know, my 2011 was rough except for a wonderful trip to Disney World and the Caribbean. However, 2012 is starting off to be a wonderful year. I started the year submitting an application to my dream company. After several tests and a couple of interviews, I am going to begin training with Zappos. It's a little surreal, but the best feeling in the world. I am happy to begin by new adventure, but will miss quite a few things, places and people in CA.
Well my biscuits, please know that I will miss seeing you, but I'm not far away. I'm a text, Facebook message or Skype away...

Yelp is not helping
*Disclaimer: I know that I will upset some of my die hard Yelp users, but I just don't get it?
The last review I want to take seriously is Yelp. Really is it helping? Anyone and I mean ANYONE can create a review. As a person who lives in the customer service world, Yelp upsets me. The folks who create reviews are so critical, it borders on unfair.
If you visit a nice steak house, of course it's going to be pricey. You are in an environment with white table cloths and servers dressed in white shirts, neck ties and black slacks.
I'm not saying you shouldn't use Yelp, but don't live and die by it. Some folks just like to be negative. Next time you visit a restaurant, clothing store, pet shop, be sure to give POSITIVE feedback. It always puts a smile on someone's face.

Hello my biscuits!
I just looked at my blog and thought, heavens to betsies, I haven't posted anything since May 2010! I am the worst blogger ever. Going forward, it is my goal to update my blog at least once a week.
Lady Gaga has her "little monsters" so it's only fitting that I have "my biscuits"...stay tuned.

The B-17 is in town
The B-17 is in Mountain View for its yearly visit. If you haven't seen the B-17, I highly recommend it. It's an opportunity to tour a piece of history that flew the skies in WWII. You can also see a B-24 and the P-51 Mustang should be there too.
Here is the information:
The B-17, B-24 & P-51
5/21/10 - 5/29/10
Mountain View
Moffett Field
Location: Main Gate near the Control Tower

It's been awhile...
It's been a year and a half since my last review and I feel I need to get right back on the blog horse.
Since my last review, I saw Joe Satriani, Joe Bonnamassa, ZZ Top. I have also made trips to Nashville to see my WWII veterans, New York for work and play, Tucson to see more WWII veterans and of course Las Vegas to visit the homestead. I had a lot of fun, but now I'm back to share my stories and adventures.
Stay tuned...

Las Vegas' sure Bette!
First of all, my apologies for taking so long to share this experience.
On July 1st, my husband and I had the opportunity to witness one of the coolest women in show business. She is a petite (at 5' 1"), with red hair and looks incredibly feminine while having the mouth of a salior. Her personality makes everyone smile while her singing makes your heart melt. If you aren't sure by now or if my blog title didn't give it away, it's Bette Midler.
Bette is currently sharing time with Cher at the Colosseum at Caesar's Palace. The Colosseum is as huge as it sounds, however, nothing is too large for Bette. This pint sized beauty worked the stage with her signature strut, had about 18 back up dancers (15 of which she called the Caesar salad girls) and a full band. She brought her full act including witty, old-school jokes and her always beautiful voice. I can never listen to "The Rose" without getting a little mushy, gushy.
Is it worth the large ticket price? Heck yeah! I have no problems spending my money to see this legendary performer who has skills, comedic talent and well, talent in general. After a performance like this one, you can honestly hear people saying, Celine who?
