Jesse's Girl
I am back from a weekend of gambling and debauchery with the DH. We went to Harrah's in Cherokee (our usual haunt) for the weekend without the kids. WEEE!!!!!
Anymore, I only play Blackjack. Love, Love, LOVE it! I wish it was with actual cards in Cherokee, but alas its electronic. But there are still dealers (they hit buttons to deal) and chips and people that are willing to talk to you. It's really fun actually.
Friday night I hit the $10 tables. I played for several hours and ended up tripling my money. I started with $50 and left with a little over $150! WHOO WEEE! Not a whole lot, and god knows how much I actually lost. I didn't stay too long and was in bed by 10:30pm. I am a bum, but I was tired. I think DH got back to the room at 4 am.
Saturday we slept until around 9 (sleeping in! YEAH!) and then we had breakfast at the buffet. It was ok, but since it was almost 10 the food was a little old (they shut it down at 10). Food is food though. Then I went back to the blackjack tables. There weren't any $10 tables (turns out there wouldn't be for the rest of the night) so I played a $15 one. Ouch! I lost my butt and it sucked! I knew better than to do that. Oh well...that's why they call it gambling though right? The rest of the afternoon I hung out in the hotel room. I watched Passion of the Christ. All I can say is WOW! I was so emotionally drained after watching it. I'll have to post about it later.
Saturday evening we had reservations at Seven Sisters, which is there 5 star restaurant in the casino. OMG! It was sooooo good! I had the 5 onion soup and the filet minon. It was good. DH had the New York Strip and let me tell you it was the best steak I have ever had. Melt in your mouth goodness! My mouth is watering just thinking about it!
After dinner I headed back to the blackjack tables. What can I say, I am a glutton for punishment. I did well though. I started out with $60 and ended up with $220! Not too bad~ yeah me! Then it was time for the show...
Rick Springfield!!!!!
I can't get Blogger to load my pictures so if you want to see a pic of Rick, click here.
WOOO!!! I know I am a dork. I just love me some Rick. At least 80's Rick and besides the tickets were free! We sat 5 row left center aisle. Great seats! The man is nuts. I had never been to one of his shows so I didn't know about the rose thrashing and the audience participation but it was great. I got several great pictures (I'll post a few as soon as I can find a computer to download them- ours is brokey!) and even a few rose petals for the memories. All in all it was a great night. I even came home with a new CD- The Day After Yesterday. Rick Springfield's covers of some really great 80's songs!
After the concert I went back to the tables one more time. BAD IDEA! I lost is all...boo hoo! Oh well. It wasn't that big of a loss really. We had a good time and that is what counted. I missed the babies like crazy and it was good to see them. As soon as I picked up DS he said "Mama"! Aww! That was the first time. Now I know he missed me! :)
Now I need to rest from my mini-vacation. haha!
Back to work, back to work.
