Set out a cup of beer and let me fall in.  I’m such a slug.  I need to DO something!  As soon as I blog, I’m going out to clean the pool.  Not that it’s really exercise but I’m testing the waters, so to speak.  Maybe it’s warm enough for me to do some jogging after I vacuum.

 We drove up to Belterra yesterday evening and played the slots.  I spent $20.00 and won $30.00, lost $10.00, spent $10.00 and won $12.75, etc. etc. till I came out about $20.00 ahead.  DH wanted to eat at the buffet for his birthday so we did.  I wasn’t very happy because it was seafood night and I don’t care for seafood very much.  I can’t figure it out.  Every five years or so, I try crablegs and lobster, and all that stuff and it’s just too much trouble.  I got a bunch of big old ugly crablegs and one of those things you crack them with.  Crunched and cracked and bent and peeled and managed to get crabby juice all over the front of my blouse and finally got a little sliver which I dipped in butter and didn’t like.  Crunched and dug and cracked and peeled some more and got another piece which I doused with lemon juice.  I liked that a lot better but I still didn’t like it all that much.  Figured I’d give it up at that point because people might get put off if I threw crablegs on the floor and stomped them to get the meat so I moved on to the lobster.  It was okay, certainly easier to get to but I’d still rather have a fried chicken breast so I did.  And a bowl of chicken noodle soup, and a barbequed pork chop, and a slice of prime rib au jou, and three fried oysters.  Polished it all off with THREE bowls of custard (they were itty, bitty bowls) and coffee.  I just don’t get the seafood thing. It’s really good for you and I give it a try occasionally but I just don’t like it.

We went out to the RV around midnight and went to sleep.  Got up this morning, took a shower, and forked around with my hair.  Yes… forked around.  Discovered that I forgot to bring a comb or brush and DH suggested a dinner fork.  Don’t knock it if you haven’t tried it.

We went back to the casino and managed to waste another two or three hours and came out about $15.00 ahead and then decided to drive home.

So…here I am.  Bored again, feeling sluggish, and forked up.

8:30 - Okay, this is a little better.  I went out and vacuumed the pool, cleaned the spa filter and did a partial water change on it, watered the flower beds, cleaned out the filter on the koi pond and did a partial water change, and did a partial water change on the little pond/fountain out front.  After that, I weeded the flower beds a little and cut the grass in the backyard.  I don’t feel quite so sluggish and I haven’t watched TV all day!

Oh, I almost forgot!  This morning, I was snuggled up in the RV with DH and he wraps his arms around me and says, “So how much have you lost?” and I’m thinking, “Finally!  He finally noticed!”  So I snuggle up and say, “I’ve lost almost 25 pounds now.” and the big dumbass says, “No.  I meant on the slots!”  Creep!!!
