Souvenir

This story starts about 6 almost 7 years ago in a far away land. Well not really. It does start that many years ago though. Frank and I took a trip to Vegas for a wedding for some friends, while we were there CSI was a new show and my new favorite one to watch. We stayed at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino when we were there last. Inside the casino (if I remember correctly) they were selling CSI shirts. Frank kept asking me if I wanted one and I kept saying no it's OK. Well...6 or 7 years later I have been kicking myself over and over...it was NOT OK! I should have bought one when I saw it! What the heck was I thinking????

Well, I had one major goal while in Vegas...and no it wasn't to win big. I am so not that person and those things do not ever happen to me...ever! I was going to find some place that had these t-shirts and I was going to buy one up quick before they sold out! And yes I feared they might be sold out before I got there. I couldn't have been more ecstatic to find out that at the MGM hotel they have a CSI venue there!!!! WHO KNEW! You're excited right? I know I was.

Not only could I buy a t-shirt there but I could buy a vest and all kinds of things there! You could also pay some money (a lot) and do you own mystery or be a CSI. How fun! I didn't do it but given the chance again I'd do and make Frank go with me (pretty sure I'd never figure it out on my own and they'd fail me right off the bat...need Frank for the smarts!). Well I got the t-shirt...finally!!!

We got to our room and I promptly put it on...cool right? I could be official, but I'd have to wipe my own smirk off my face. At least I didn't attempt to make my own gun noises...that would have been terribly embarrassing!
This by far was my fave thing I picked up...right along with my CSI deck of playing cards and my CSI magnet. I did find a CSI coffee mug...but I got a better deal buying a different mug so I went with that one...that mug however might haunt me until I get there next time...I might just have to find one and order it...cause I really liked it...and I think I really need it (like a hole in my head).

Music That Moves You

I don't know about you guys, but there are times in my life that are defined by music. The summer after I graduated High school was Tom...
