Vivi's Voyage

我們Hip Hop 老師上次在我們表演Buttons的時候
肚子已經不小了, 因為小寶寶: Jaselyn 會在十二月底左右誕生,
Studio 特別為她舉行了一個Surprise Baby Shower Party,

老師先在Target 準備了Baby Registery, 所以只要到店裡還是去網上Download清單即可
在單子裡有列貨名 編號 單價 還是有否有人已經先送了等資訊
不過說實在真的還很難找哩!

我準備了一套衣服 帽子 手套跟奶瓶 好不容易湊到都是粉紅色!

這一天有輕食招待


每個人還被要求帶一包尿布, 來參加抽獎,
看看誰可以獲得免費的四堂課, 結果是一個小朋友獲得!

這一天大大小小的MESSENGER帶給我不少的歡樂
因為光是拆東西就很高興了!!!

下面是從台灣帶來的 (多謝ANN & JULIA)

這是參加部落格活動抽到的, 剛好是土地公的朋友,
謝謝土地公幫我送到蘇董那

下面是跨海下單的部分:
我居然看照片就開始買了起來

淺藍那片有濃濃的亮粉, 紫色那塊有點色差, 沒那麼深

還有一隻很秀氣的眉筆, 全都是因為損友推薦
不! 應該是自己心很癢, 就下手買了

本來以為近日南加大火離我這邊
還是少一個小時車程的地方
應該會沒大事,
結果位於OC 的Office 說 室內空氣循環被濃煙滲入
搞到室內空氣比室外還糟, 還且搞到每個人頭很痛,
辦公室桌上都一層黑灰
所以提議早一點關門, 這樣一來,  
後勤的就要一一通知相關單位

連另一個Office 原訂於本週末的搬家也要順延, 
因為AT& T 因為人手短缺
所以必須提早切斷線路轉換, 
為了安全我們又往後順延了一週
講到口乾舌燥, 
所以今天大家來看看Las Vegas  夜景吧

這一次去Las Vegas, 還是有去逛逛有啥新鮮貨
1. Planet Hollywood
我都以為這一家老布跟他明星朋友合資的Cafe 已經岌岌可危
沒想到居然把Aladdin 給買下來進行改裝
而且還是跟WESTIN系出同門

比規模或華麗, 也許跟別家沒的比,
所以他們比燈光!

這是一樓Checkin 區通往二樓CASINO區手扶梯兩側的水晶燈
真的很閃!

Checkin 區雖然不大 但是也要炫

這會是藍色的,  轉眼間居然變色了!

沒有賴過床的可能不了解那是多麼棒的滋味
整個腦袋清空, 享受與被窩溫存的分分秒秒
不過如果有伴一起陪你賴床那更是至高無上的享受了

現在氣溫微涼剛好是最佳時機!

除了我們的小臉要貼近枕頭外
最好還枕在臂彎中 來確定一下馬麻對我的愛


必要的時候還可以嘟起嘴來親親
適時的表現一下對馬麻的愛意

來一次近距離的親密接觸

一想到Las Vegas馬上就會聯想到賭博  , show
當然還有所謂的Buffet (包肥)

近幾年Las Vegas 的物價也節節上漲, Buffet 的Price 也一直在更動
自從去年吃了一個Wynn Buffet 整個肚子在做怪之後,
終於今年來到評價頗高的Paris Buffet, 

價格公道, 而且不清場, 就是說可以在早餐時段進來一直吃到午餐時段也沒人趕你

整個食物區一定要走透透因為都沒有重複的
 
Provence, Burgundy, Normandy, 來代表不同的食物風味,
因為好友去上課了, 所以這是我一生來第一次, 一個人吃Buffet,
而且我足足吃了兩個鐘頭

Las Vegas的夜景真是美不勝收
下面都是沒修過的照片喔

Bellagio 水舞

名主持人Ellen 連續兩天在她的節目中敘述她的狗事
大家的茅頭也紛紛指向這個Animal Rescue 組織: Mutts and Mom
在Petfinder 的網站上已經宣佈暫停公佈其資料
而該組織負責人也接到了死亡威脅的恐嚇
已經報Pasadena Police 處理

我們看看Petfinder 的說法

Mutts and Mom has chosen to temporarily inactivate their website on Petfinder.com because their email inbox and voice mail are overwhelmed. Petfinder has 11,000 shelters and rescue groups posting over 260,000 pets that need homes. We do not dictate the adoption policies of our members. We do work with them to educate their volunteers and hope to professionalize the industry as a whole, providing a positive experience for adopters. Petfinder advocates for all parties: the pets, the adopters, and the shelter and rescue group workers and volunteers.

Pet Return Policies

Many shelters and rescue groups insist, through their adoption agreements, that if a pet cannot stay with his adoptive family, the adopters must return him to the group. Why do they do this?

Between 500,000 and 1 million pets adopted from shelters and rescue groups find themselves homeless and in the shelter once again.

One foster mom said it best, "I found the dog on the street, starving. I nursed her back to health. She slept in my bed. I sang her back to sleep when she had nightmares when she first came to me. Then I adopted her to a wonderful family. A year later, I got a call from animal control because she was at the shelter and she was going to be euthanized. The family had gotten divorced and she ended up on death row!"

This too-common experience leads rescue groups and shelter to put strict policies in place governing what happens if the adoption doesn't work out. In effect, the rescue group and shelters are promising to always be there as a safety net for the pets. This can be very comforting to adopters.

Finding a New Home for Your Pet

Some pet parents, who have the best intentions for their pets, feel that they can do a better job of finding a new home for their beloved pet than a shelter or rescue group. Their rationale is that they know their pet best, they can keep it in their home until the perfect new home is found, and they can help ease the transition for the pet. Often times, this is a natural transition - a family member, trusted friend, or a colleague gets to know the pet, falls in love, and the ownership of the pet is unofficially transferred to them.

This is a controversial point of view, even amongst shelters and rescue groups who may feel that they have more experience identifying pitfalls and risk factors when identifying new families. Research, however, suggests that there is no difference in the success rates of the adoptions between organizations that screen heavily versus those that have more open adoption policies.
