Las Vegas Hooker

One of the dental assistants at Jon's work gave him this little pink "Las Vegas" key chain a couple of days ago and he gave it to Lucy for fun. She was SO excited because she has been missing various friends and places from Vegas, so I told her I would HOOK it onto her backpack for her. Not understanding what it was actually called, she got to school and excitedly told her teacher, "I got a Las Vegas hooker on my backpack!!" "What did you say?!?" asked Mrs. Gerdes. One of the other kids standing nearby clarified, "She said she's got a Las Vegas hooker on her backpack!"

Di'lishi!

Although Pinehurst is small, it is growing. In fact, supposedly this area is one of the three fastest growing in all of North Carolina right now. Within the last 9 months of us being here, several new places have opened and several more are slated to open in the next few months which is very, very exciting! Where there used to just be Ross and TJMaxx, now we have a Kohl's that opened last month. Hobby Lobby should be opening any day now, and a Dick's Sporting Goods is opening next fall. There's even a Costco being built in Cary (45 min. away) versus Raleigh where we are going right now (90 min. away). We also got a Rita's, Texas Roadhouse, and now, drum roll please, a frozen yogurt place called Di'lishi! HOORAY!

I. LOVE. FROZEN. YOGURT. BARS. It's the tangier less heavy taste (I really dislike ice cream which is weird, I know), plus the fact that you can load all sorts of bad-for-you toppings that seals the deal. When we left Las Vegas I was beyond sad to leave our neighborhood U-Swirl. We kept that joint in business!

My favorite combo is the raspberry pomegranate sorbet, usually twisted with the tangy plain (or vanilla) flavor, with lots of Reeses peanut butter cups on top. When armed with this wacky combination, nobody wants to share with me which is fine by me. It has some PBJ notes that are addictive.

The fact that we've already been here THREE times in its opening week tells you we are glad they came!
