Bad Luck Continues
So, we had a fun/productive weekend. Unfortunately, on Friday, our bit of bad luck was still with us :-) Seymen, Thuan, Chau and I went to the Casino for the evening. We met Maki there too. Seymen and I both lost 100% :-) But Chau and Maki were the Casino stars!!! Chau kept hitting the jackpot on the $25 machines and Maki hit it twice! Meanwhile, the first machine that I started on, I lost...so I moved to another machine. Probably like 15 minutes later, the guy who got on the machine next hit the total jackpot. He got the highest amount you could get from that machine :-) Later in the evening, Seymen and I decided to gamble with $10. So I picked a machine and started. Meanwhile...Maki said: Ohh you should go on the machine next to it...not the one you are on. We shrugged and continued on our machine. Chau sat down and just for the fun of it, put her winnings in the machine...Well two seconds later she hit the jackpot!! :-)) We were all trying to get close to Chau to see if some of her good luck would rub off on us ;-)
Anyway, it was a really fun night. We only go to the Casino once a year, so it was definitely a fun trip. On our way home, we decided to stop for dinner at Perkins in Buffalo. We didn't get back to Rochester until 4:00AM!! And of course when we got home we had to watch one episode of House, M.D. :-) So, I don't think I went to bed until 5:00AM.
We woke up around 8:30AM (Not too pleased about that at all, but for some reason I couldn't sleep). So, while Seymen went out to do his "Plumber Thing" with his friends, I went out Curtain shopping. I found some nice material but we are still deciding what to do. I have about 0% of an eye for Design...just the guidelines that Seymen gave me: "I want Red Curtains"...so I set out on my quest for Red Curtains. I think the conclusion that we came to is: 1. We need to wait for him to go home and get the Turkish rugs first or 2. We need to send the dimensions of the windows to his mom, so she can have our curtains made for us in Turkey. Either way, the living room is NOT getting decorated anytime soon ;-)
On the other hand...Chrissy, Jake, Seymen, and I went out shopping yesterday...We somehow convinced Seymen and Jake that it was essential that we break up the BJs/Wegmans shopping with Bed Bath and Beyond, and Pier One. While there, we actually agreed on a color for the bathroom (blue), and found a REALLY CUTE kitchen table that matches the color paint in the kitchen!! It's a counter height table, with bright blue/turquios chairs/stools. I think we are actually considering it. Seymen has brought it up at least three other times after we left the store...That's a reallly realllly good sign ;-)
Anyway, we had a really productive weekend I would say. We spent the afternoon cleaning the house (for the cleaning lady that's coming on Thursday), doing laundry, paying bills, decorating with our purchases, and having dinner. Ohhh yeah, I made my first batch of homemade tomatoe sauce! Seymen said that he really liked it! (I thought it was a little tooo sweet) but it was still pretty good and so easy to make. I will definitly be trying that again at some point :-)
