Yesterday big D and I went to a casino to lose some money. I enjoy playing the slots, but just once I would like to win big. I haven't ever won anything more than $200 and that was back when I was poor and the $200 meant something. But every time I go to the casino now I hope to win big - you know like $500K- I figure I have poured enough money into them that it is my time. Everybody has a winning streak - where is mine? With the $500K I would do many things, and all for me. Not a generous person am I.
But I didn't win big and came home with an empty wallet. I also starved big D. Usually when we go to the casino we stop for breakfast, eat lunch and maybe stop for dinner. This time I made her an English Muffin for breakfast, she had no lunch and I bought her an apple pie (Hostess) and a candy bar for dinner. When she got out of the car she nearly fainted from hunger. What an evil daughter am I.
I now understand BIL1 hatred of the bay area traffic. We left at 3 or thereabouts and I didn't get home until 8pm. The traffic was stop and go the minute we hit 580 - it was horrible. I wanted to pound my fist and yell, but I didn't.
There was a welcome sight when we pulled up to her house and I felt all tension go out as little N jumped up and greeted me. Have I said that that little one can jump? Then T1 greeted me and life was good.
Lucky to have an automatic transmission - 5 hours with a clutch is challenging.
ReplyDeleteTaya also greeted you in a warmly lit house as did T' (aka TH) - glad you (1) had fun; (2) survived the drive; (3) didn't sign over the pink slip on the X5; and (4) you're HOME!
Big walk TOMORROW - then buy new boots at REI after the swelling in feet goes down
Well, I found at least one fib in there!
