My mother sent me a picture of where I grew up today.

It looks pretty, but I sure don’t miss it.

I miss smoking though. HA! Day 4 today…

Today was a pretty average Tuesday. I’ve built several keyword specific Squidoo lenses for my company, and I’m receiving about 10 leads a day from them, with a 70% conversion on the close. That’s pretty spectacular, and I’m getting some good feedback from the Pres. I don’t know about you, but building Squidoo lenses (amongst other internet marketing angles) for a living is pretty sweet. It’s still a hella drive though!

Speaking of drive, this is what I saw on my way home tonight. A beautiful sunset on one side of the freeway, and the sunset reflecting off the Wynn and the Trump Towers on the other side.

And this is what I saw when I got home tonight. A beautiful bouquet of roses from Deb just because she was thinking of me. Awwwwww!

It took me for-EVER to get to work this morning. Apparently, all the people that commute to work in Las Vegas didn’t get a chance to look at the fire damage on the Monte Carlo in real life over the weekend, so they all took the same freeway this morning to get a quick look.

It was dead stopped on the freeway with people hanging out the windows with cameras, and cell phones. So I figured…when in Rome, and took a couple pictures for myself. I totally forgot I had a sun roof I could have opened to get a better shot. Ignore the semi dirty windshield.

Then I saw a rainbow, that went all across The Strip. Here is the beginning and ending of the rainbow. I’m not sure which is which though

That was the most excitement I had this fine Monday. How about you?

Michelle Waitzman from Love In A Tent has written a book called Sex in a Tent: A Wild Couple’s Guide to Getting Naughty in Nature and it’s looking to be a big seller once more people hear about it, so I’m doing my part in helping Michelle get the word out by writing about it here, and on my camping blog.

Don’t you just love that illustration?

You can buy Sex in a Tent: A Wild Couple’s Guide to Getting Naughty in Nature here or you can pick it up at your local REI store.

Happy tenting and making sexy!

Our landlord sent out some landscapers this week to cut our eucalyptus tree back and off the neighbors house. It was getting really bushy, and covering almost their entire back roof. It looks much better now, although they left a bunch of the leaves and smaller branches on the ground that I will have to clean up.

While they were here, they also did some weeding of the flower beds around the front and the side of the house. They look so much better, but somehow they busted one of the lawn aerator. When the system turns on, we get a flowing shower of water all over our cars sitting in the driveway. The water is so hard it leaves hard water spots on my paint also, and those will ruin a paint job if left on there for too long. I didn’t have time to look at it this morning, so I plan on taking a peek tomorrow to see if it’s something we can just fix on our own, without calling them back out again.

Our whole yard is desert landscaping, and it is so nice not having to worry too much about yard work, but there is still flower beds and pine needles to pick up about once a month. There are even spots on the side of the house where grass is growing up through the rocks. I think it’s from the neighbors when they planted grass seed over the summer. The wind must have picked some up and blew over.
