9-19-09 Saturday (Loser!)

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!
