Um, now what?

It's Monday night, and I am not bowling... Oh, dear, whatever shall I do?

hehehe

I made a real supper tonight. Usually on Mondays we have an "Eat your own crap" night. The kids named it, because everyone basically fends for themselves in the kitchen, and eats whatever they want/can find/ can cook. They just think it's funny to say "eat your own crap"... they are amused by any bathroom type humor...

So, while dinner was in the oven, I got my homework done. We ate, and now I can sit in JP's recliner (possession is 9/10 of the law, as my Grams used to say) and dink around on the computer while I watch the dance show of "Dancing with the Stars". Yeah, big geek. Usually I can only watch the results show on Wednesday night. Now that bowling is over I can actually see the dancing. I'm cheering for Apolo Anton Ohno. I think he is just adorable.

So, yesterday afternoon, when we left the resort where GA was being held (GA is General Assembly) we headed for home and drove right past a casino. Well, that's not entirely accurate. We did not go past. We stopped. We walked in the door, and before we went our separate ways, we agreed to meet back at this door in 45 minutes. The boys, Trevor and Justin headed to the card tables, and April and I went to the slots. I had a $20. I do bad at casinos. I only take along the money I am willing to part with, because, I know me, I WILL be parting with it. I usually play the quarter slots, but April and I headed to the penny machines first, thought my money might last a little longer that way! April was not gambling... past issues there, but she was happy to watch me, and cheer me on.

I won a few, I lost a few...I lost a few more. After switching to different machines and going up to the .02 slots, and giving the nickle machines a few dollars, I went back to the penny slots.

I was down to $6 and change, and then I hit it... $48 and change. I cashed that bugger out, took my $54.56 and WALKED AWAY A WINNER!! I have never done that (except that time with JP when I ended up with a nickle machine that didn't pay in a voucher ticket, it paid in nickles... 4 buckets full of nickles!)

We went to find the boys (and rub my voucher ticket in their faces, if I could...if they were losing) Justin was done, he had lost about $35 at the poker table in a matter of 20 minutes, and then decided to just watch Trevor at the blackjack table. He was doing...well. I was not going to be able to rub my $34 profit in his face.

We left on time, although I believe that Trevor could have sat there all night and won, too. I walked out with an extra $34, Trevor walked out with about $62 extra. It was worth the 45 minute stop... to us. Justin was not thrilled, and April didn't really care.

We got back to town a little after 7, and I was just dead, I wanted to sleep. Of course, I had to sleep on the couch... in-laws in my bed.

My morning class today was canceled, which was nice, so after they left, I went into bed...so I set my alarm to go off at 12:15, so I could make it to my Accounting class at 1. I woke up at exactly 1:08... the in-laws did not shut off the alarm... they merely turned the volume of the radio down. So, yeah, it went off, but nobody could hear it. Especially me, who had slept in a lumpy twin bed all weekend, stayed up too late every night, and was bored to tears all day, not to mention the 3 hour drive in (mostly) a torrential downpour. I obviously needed the sleep, but damn, I wish I hadn't missed that class.

JP left hell today for his 4 day pass. I hope he is having a good and relaxing time, with golfing and sleeping in. I hope he's got Internet while he's there so we can talk. Otherwise it could be a long week without hearing from him.
