Sheesh, we've already got our tax refund and blown it all away!

And on that topic (and the topic of the thread!) my new receiver just came in and I am stopping at my friend's place to pick it up!

That's the one. The stupidity of that place is that by the time you see the ginormous sign from the freeway, the next exit you can get off it is Euclid which is no where NEAR the actual center with no direct way back. And I hadn't even THOUGHT about the fact that, yes, when you do get off at Euclid, you're dumped right into that other cluster of furniture stores. So the odds of someone seeing that sign, exiting the freeway, and ending up at that center...nil. I work practically in direct eyeline of the place and it took some hunting for me to figure out how to get there.

But I bet the developer got it for dirt cheap.

I completely understand. Through all my furniture shopping, visiting big box stores to narrow down what I like/don't like I was never able to find those other stores. In fact, after visiting the first cluster and avoiding Costco I forgot all about the new center.... until I headed home and passed them. So how DO you get there?

They need their own exit like IKEA.

Actually that Ikea exit is a good way to get there. But the shortest would be to get off at harbor, turn right, turn left on South Coast, then turn right again just before you'd bet back on the freeway. The center is there on the left.

Damn that's convoluted.

I'm just going to say again how frelling happy I am with my couch. Continuing the theme of replacing my old purchased when I was college-broke furniture my new coffee table, TV stand and end table will be here in a couple weeks. If I have room 2 staircase book cases will follow shortly after.

Rooftop pool? Cool!

Now that I think about it, I think it was the Candy Cane where we stayed. So I have no idea about the Carousel. I hope they're good!

Awesome. Not the bullying part, but that you got them back.

I'm still unable to find the words to write post my review of Las Vegas and my incredible time i had on the fan club trip and photo op with Jon Bon Jovi (even though it was a group photo op) to me it was more of a personal meet and greet with him at least my experience and everything that happened.

The show itself all i can say is i finally got MY Jon singing part of Bed of Roses to me

Finally and it is on You Tube to prove it is me. I was lucky enough to be on the circle/rail so when Jon came onto the ramp he was within inches when he moved around during Bed of Roses. I'm still in awe and have this huge grin on my face

even now so.

Let's just say he is really down to earth, amazing, really in tuned with his fans (i didn't even have to say a word to him and he took a letter RIGHT out of my hands) I managed to give him 2 hugs and he hugged me RIGHT back the second time arms around me holding me close to him. I managed to kiss him on the cheek.

But what amazed me is the way i was the first one in our group of 10 to approach him for our photo op. HE turned towards me before i even started to walk to him and smiled that famous smile of his and those baby blue eyes making eye contact with me and all i could muster out was an "oh my gosh" because it was that type of moment for me and let out a "squeal". I had to compose myself and managed to put my head on his shoulder for a few seconds while everyone in our group gathered around him. Yes my arm was around his neck with my hand resting on his other shoulder. He had his arm around me for the group picture.
