I've been watching American Idol all season....and apparently ordering Dominos Pizza a lot too.  They have this program called "House Party" which has different themes and you submit an application to be a host.  If chosen, they hook you up with a prize pack of party favors for your event.  I was chosen to host an American Idol party.  Unfortunately, not too many people showed up (this town has such a crazy schedule) except for Stefanie and her baby Taylor.  So now I have all this extra swag leftover: mainly Ford products since they are the ones that sponsor AI.  I've got pens, pads of paper, drawstring backpacks, etc.  Anybody want one?!  On another note, I really wish I would've placed a bet on Kris to win because I'm sure his odds were outrageous and I might've actually made some money gambling for once!  

For all the foodies out there: my newest favorite sandwich shop is "Munch A Sub" located in the corner of Cameron and Hacienda in a little shopping complex.  It is a little pricey but the portions are extremely generous so you definitely get your money's worth.  It is a mom and pop joint and they are all very friendly.  When you leave you feel pretty good that you are supporting a local business and not just a chain giant.  Their address is: 5320 Cameron St # 1 Las Vegas, NV 89118 (702) 221-1643‎  They have over 50 selections to choose from on their menu which often makes a quick lunch a difficult decision.  I suggest the meatball sub, turkey sandwich, and tuna (just a few that I have tried so far!)  There are some bad reviews out there on the internet but that was before they changed owners.  Give this place a shot if you are on that side of town over by The Orleans Casino and let me know what you think!

So we made a cardinal sin: we got another pup!  Her name is Holly and she is a beagle (same as Hank).  They both get along really well  and she is a little spit fire.  Look how cute she is when she hides under her dog bed!  Try and tell me that you could've had the will power to say no to THAT face :)  She has a little case of kennel cough right now but we took her to the vet and she got a shot of antibiotics and some cough medicine.  It seems to be helping her a lot and hopefully she will stop hacking like she has been a chain smoker her whole life!
