Last night was the Mary J. Blige concert over at the MGM Grand. Concert night is always crazy at the MGM and last night was no exception. LUCKILY - I was in the party room and I was able to put an automatic gratuity on most of my checks. I won't go into details, but you can imagine the type of clientele we received based on the performer. Enuff said.

The new schedule for next week came out and they only gave me 3 days. I'm kinda annoyed. I like having days off, but I'm addicted to the money. Whenever I'm not at work, I'm thinking about the money I'm missing out on.

I went on a little shopping spree today and it was so fun!! I was in one of those moods today where everything looked awesome and I wanted to buy it all. Not a good combination when you are only working three days this week. Anyway, I went over to the Fashion Show Mall and I had a 20% off all day shopping pass for Macy's. I started off in the shoe department and found a really nice pair of boots that I had to have...



So, I purchased those and then I headed on over to the jewelry department. I've been thinking about buying a new watch for a while and since I had that shopping pass, I decided that today was the day. I looked at the Fossil and the Guess and the Gucci and I finally decided on the new Anne Klein Diamond Collection and here she is....





I finally decided to leave Macy's for a while and I headed over to one of my new favorite stores, Marciano. I love that place!!! They have some beautiful clothes. I tried on a bunch of different things and I finally decided on this...




I ventured back over to Macy's and bought some more jewelry and then I left and headed to the Macy's Home Store. It's not in the mall - it's actually down Spring Mountain Road and closer to my house. My cousin is getting married next month and I needed to send her a gift, so I printed out the Macy's Registry and bought her gift, had them wrap it and send it too. Very convenient!! I was happy because I got to use my coupon over there too!! Coupons are the best. I used to make fun of my mom and all of her coupons, but now I understand the allure.

Geez - what am I going to do with all of these days off? I can't go on a shopping spree everyday. I do have room keys for about half of the resorts here in Vegas - I might have to go pool hopping tomorrow.

Oh, and just for the record, I finally caved in and bought a belt. Since I STILL haven't received the knock off that I bought online and I'm sick of waiting. So, I went over to this store called Marshall Rousso and it's in the MGM Grand. It's next to the really expensive store with the $445.00 belt. The Marshall Rousso place is a bit more reasonable and I fell in love with a belt that was $120.00. I finally bought it. I went in and looked at it a few times and when I realized that they only had one left in my size, I seized the opportunity and bought it. Here ya go...



Ahhhhh yes - it's a beauty. I guess I'm going to have to wear it the next 25 times I go out so I can get my money's worth. hehe

Okay, I think I'm done with the Fashion Update. Maybe I'll have some poker content sometime soon. Don't hold your breath though :)
