Sistah Pat

I slept in until 8:00 this morning and it felt wonderful!  I was up late last night trying to get everything taken care of so I could relax when DH and I head for the casino today.

I straightened the house yesterday and then scrubbed our bedroom.  Changed the bedding, cleaned out the drawers and straightened the closet.  Scrubbed the walls, pictures, and mirrors. (The drapes need to be done but that can wait).  Around 6:30, I called it quits but started on laundry.  Watched TV while I ran six loads through the washer and folded or hung four of them.  Then it hit me.  The sleepies.  It was 1:00 am and it just hit me all at once.  “Get up, turn off the TV, and get your sorry butt to bed.  NOW!”  I still had one load going in the dryer and another in the washer.  Left them there.  Now I probably have to redo the load that was in the dryer.  They’re probably wrinkled beyond repair.  As soon as I get them done, DH and I are hitting the road.

The casino is 82 miles from here.  Just close enough, just far enough.  Maybe I’ll win.  I don’t play to win, though.  I just have fun.  Set myself a strict limit and stick with it.  Usually around $50.00.  Yeah, I know.  I’m cheap.  Keep in mind, however, that I’m a math teacher and know the odds are against me.  We’re heading up there in a couple of hours so I’ve got to get the laundry finished.  Hope I can salvage the load in the dryer.  I’m pretty sure there’s a charge for internet connectivity at the hotel so I may or may not be blogging.  If not, have a wonderful Sunday, girls!

  5:00 - Looks like we have free wifi.  Here’s a picture from our window.  We’re all settled in and DH wants to watch “The Beast” before we head downstairs.  Does that have anything to do with this evening’s plans?

9:30 - We went down to the casino for a while.  I turned my twenty dollar bill into forty and DH turned his twenty into seventy five.  Not bad.  Told you we were cheap. Our room is pretty nice.  We got the “Ultimate” package which has the deluxe riverview room, the “luxurious grand bed”, the breakfast and dinner buffets, special bath amenities, and VIP turndown.  The bed is super!  A great big king size bed that’s almost high enough to need a step stool.  It has down pillows, Egyptian cotton sheets, and a down comforter.  The bath amenities are really nice.  Regular size bottles of Portico Spa Eucalyptus shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, lotion, soap, and exfoliating soap.  The buffet was a different matter. It’s one of the worst buffets I’ve ever seen.  I believe our school cafeteria could do a better job.  Maybe that’s a good thing.  I didn’t eat much.   Now it’s time to hit that big old bed and see if “the beast” gets in bed with me.

Nighty nite, girls.
