We’ve been so awesome about doing cardio every day for an hour but today we skipped it. We had a lot going on and I think we could have squeezed it in somewhere but I think a break is nice too. We met Jim’s Mom and Stepdad for lunch at Longhorn. I decided to try something different. Parmesan encrusted chicken. Fail. Why do I try new things at familiar restaurants?
With our trusty coupon in hand, we took the car to the car wash. Sparkling with a side of thrilling.
To further kill some time, we went to Sam’s for a gigantic-enormous 950 pack of bar soap. Maybe not quite that large, but still. I continued to preach to Jim about the lack of space we have and that for the probable low amount of money we saved, buying the soap at Walmart in a smaller quantity might have been better. I lost.
We met up with Carl & Tim, left our car at a Lowe’s, and drove with them to the Seminole casino. We gambled a little, ate dinner, and gambled a little more. Jim, Tim and I lost money. I don’t know about Tim but Jim & I lost more money than I’d care to mention although it sounds bad when I lump it together for the 2 of us. Individually, not so bad. We’re usually more careful but these damn 2 cent slot machines are tricky! Actually for what we lost, I think Carl tripled or more in winnings. He did quite well!
I feel like I'm back in Vegas.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to the casino in years! Whenever I took my mom I'd win. Haven't won since she passed away. And then I feel guilty when I lose... I think "that was a week's worth of groceries!"
ReplyDeleteOh! Thanks for the reminder. I want to get my car washed today.
I've done the casino thing once- in St Louis. I had fun but never got the itch to seek it out again. Someday I'll get to Vegas and I'm sure I'll at least play some slots. Came out ahead when I played in St Louis!
ReplyDeleteCarl looks THRILLED to have won so much! ;)
