I'm awaiting a flight home from Vegas and did three shops at the airport, and have won over 162.00 at the airport.
slots....had trouble inputting shops, but winnings helped off. Beats MSing...smiling smiley Favorite hotel this trip MGM Grand, worst Flamingo, they had check in at 4:00 or pay 30.00 fee for early check in, plus $39.00 resort fee, trouble being pool was closed due to remodeling and wifi didn't work, lost a whole day and can't wait to make trouble since web didn't say this......some resort?????? Home sweet home, here I come!!!

I am always curious when people say they won a certain amount. How much did you spend to win it? Or are you like me and actually give the net value after what you put into the machine (which is why I don't gamble)?

Also, how did it go other then the Flamingo? How many shops did you get done, and did you leave enough time for fun??

I played the .1 machines at both MGM and the airport, losing no more than 4.00, Won $162.00 on two dollars at MGM, and 60.00 at the airport playing 4.00. I always have fun, saw a show and ate great food, and walked away after winning... just play the slots. I shopped mostly at the airport, with a few shops on the strip. The walking took a toll on me, so much to see, so little time. I always enjoy seeing new things, and Vegas is growing, some beautiful hotels are the Wynn, Bellago, Caesar's Palace (went to Bobby Flay's for dinner), you get what you pay for (as the saying goes). They're having a cowboy festival of sorts this weekend, so cowboys like crazy are coming in,country music all over, Lots of work at the Vegas airport, but I'm done.

Irene, the beginning of December is always "Rodeo" in Las Vegas.

The 2018 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (NFR) Dec 5-16. It is crazy busy, and yes, full of cowboys.

13 Phone calls to variety of Canadian government services (moving need new health card, drivers license, Library card etc etc etc). I love these ones. Calls take about 5 minutes, report takes under that, I do have to attach the recording of calls. Will be doing them over lunch and after work. They pay $22 Canadian each. Do this every 3 months.

Also going to do dominoes, have to order via the app, $25 reimbursement only.

A bar. It was double booked by the MSC because the other shoppers that applied apparently aren't very good (their words, not mine). So they said that they will get two reports and use mine.

What is ROTI? I've seen it mentioned many times and have no idea what it is.

Monday

Just 5 guys...I was surprised my make offer was accepted..it wasn't as much as you all can finangle, but was a last minute shop for me. Only thing I'm concerned about is I have movers coming and hoping they get here and get done so I can get over to 5 guys within the timeframe..its a bit of a drive for me.

Might add bank deposit shop, retail shop and car wash shop if the movers get here quick...

Nothing this week as work has been hectic, but tomorrow I have a Lobster food truck and a grocery store. Friday another grocery store and I'll pick up a Texas Roadhouse last minute for Friday or Saturday. Bonus is only $3 and I'm hoping with three shops left for the location we want that it will go higher.

Just 2 garages close to home. My contractor/neighbor (of 35 years) is doing the last touches on the installation of 5 new windows in the 2 upstairs bedrooms. Loving the change in energy efficiency already! This was quite a trick for him to fit it into changeable winter weather and for rooms that are both occupied.

Was going to assign myself a retail and a in store phone shop this morning but someone beat me to it..

sigh;
about an hour drive for one of the shops..only agreed to it, because I thought the two shops that are gone now would be available..Considered canceling, but I like the scheduler and she already has stated its a hard to fill shop..and I also don't mind driving..

Saturday-fine dining, can't wait. After that, no more until mid January. Taking a much needed break. Lots of new clients we need to prepare for and meet come 2019 at my delightful full time job. I wish everyone a beautiful holiday and best wishes for a happy, healthy New year!

Today I did 1 car and 2 cell phone shops. The last one took less than two minutes because the location closed and locked it’s doors early and sat there talking when I tried to go in it was locked and no one felt the need to let me in or even stop talking. They just shrugged and went back to talking. So I took pictures and left.

Two valet parking shops. The second one is a 3 block walk to my carry-out lunch shop at a favorite casual dining place. Then home to take pictures of and eat that lovely meal.

Roti is a Mediterranean Chipotle.

I've been doing them weekly since August. I'm going to take a break next month.
