[Any package deals to Las Vegas?]

I went to Vegas in June 2005 with hubbie and 2 girls. We stayed at the Flamingo and all loved it. It has wonderful pools, free habitat outside (flamingos and penguins, birds, etc.). This hotel is right in the middle of the strip so the girls weren't too tired to walk to the hotels. It was clean and I felt safe even at night going in and out. If you search on the internet there are sites that tell you want is free in Vegas.

For example, MGM has a lion habitat, free in the lobby. Bellagio has dancing fountains to music, can't miss that! We spent four days there and nobody was bored. The kids would have stayed in the pool all day. They rode the monorail and loved all the buffets too. Coupon books are cheap to buy on ebay for vegas attractions and shows but LOTS of stuff free. You will love it. This July going back with just hubbie so we can gamble and see some shows, can't wait.

[a frugal xmas]

Received baked Christmas cookies and cinnamon rolls from a friend and I thought that was just fine! It's the thought that counts!

[Will be looking for Nintendo DS Lite this year...]

Costco had the ds lite bundle with the game for 159 in my store...will wait til it goes on sale on BF...hopefully.

[How many of you have toys from the past that are coming back?]

cabbage patch dolls, chutes and ladders since I was a kid in 1980s

[How do you feel about shopping for people who are too "lazy" to shop for themselves?]

I will buy for co-workers who aren't necessarily lazy but they have to WORK and I have the day off this year. (We are nurses).

[Nintendo DS lite bundle]

Hoping nintendo ds lite is on sale on BF because I hate to spend over 130 bucks.
