Casino Weekend!
Pheww! The weekend flew by yet again. I already posted about Friday night, so on to Saturday. For some reason I was really tired Friday night and went to bed REALLY early. Seymen was tired to and he went to sleep not much later than me. We both woke up early (for us ;-) in the morning. Seymen headed off to work while I spent the day at my mom's house. I sat around with my sister, then took the dogs for a walk with her and my mom. We took a family drive in my new car, so Bill and Mom could try driving it, and they bought me and CHrissy ice cream :-) Yummmmyyy. Afterwards, we watched some TV and then I headed home to meet Seymen for dinner. We went to Shiki with Chau and Thaun, and made a last minute decision to go to Niagra Falls to the Casino for the night! I thought I was going to be lucky and win lots of money (I should have known better ;-))
Anyway, Seymen and Thaun went off to the tables while Chau and I sat at the machines. I lost my $60 limit in about 2 hours...Chau was having some bad luck with the machines. Her first machine took her money, but it got jammed so the casino guy had to come over and fix it for her. Shortly after, we decided to move to a different row. We sat down and Chau's money got stuck again...the same Casino guy came over and fixed it again. She moved over to the machine next to me when she was down to a dollar! She told me: "Beth, I'm running out of my money!" She took one last whirl at it, and suddenly won 400 quarters!!! OMG!!! We were both so excited and laughing and stuff! She kept playing that machine again and then moved to the other side of me where she won another large bunch of coins!!! It was great :-) By the time Seymen and Thaun met up with us, having lost much of their money...Chau had made all three of our lost amounts back in her winnings ;-)
We decided to continue playing for the car so we picked a machine and all four of us took turns. Unfortunately, we didn't win the car :-( but we did win some more money ;-) so it worked out well :-) Once we were back in the black we decided to call it a night and head home.
Sunday, was a lazier day. We slept in to our usual times. I went to teach English at "Chuck-E-Cheese". I took my student and her son there for our class. She has been making such good progress that it was a well deserved outing :-) After that I stopped by my mom's to say hi and "pick up" Seymen. We headed home where I spent the rest of the evening watching Non-Superbowl TV :-)) Seymen went to a friends for the game, but I was feeling under the weather so I stayed home with some valentine's day candy that Seymen got me. Well, I should have known it would be bad luck to feel bad for myself and stuff my face with candy heart jaw breakers, because I cracked a tooth :-( Now I have to go to the dentist tomorrow :-((( Serves me right for being a glutton for candy ;-)
Today was a busy day. Seems like my days are just getting busier and busier at work. Sooo many meetings. But the good news is that I had my Performance Apprasial today, and received great scores...and I was surprised to learn that I got a little raise! My first official raise (while in the same position, without changing positions) in three years at LMNK! Wahoooo :-)
On top of that good news, I talked to my mom and she had some good news of her own! I of course won't post it online but it was surprising and not expected news :-) We were just talking about the situation when we were walking on Saturday and she was convincing herself the good news wouldn't occur...but it did today!! So that is pretty exciting :-) (Don't you wish you knew what I was talking about ;-) JK JK. OK, I'll stop being mean...
Anyway, usual routine for the week. Working late, Hosting the weekly LOST party Wednesday night, Girls night/shopping (and maybe Sleep over!!) with Jess (Seymen's working all night :-(((...and then...my puppy PEAKERS!!! comes for the weekend!!! Can't wait!!! :-) Yeayyyyy!!!
