Well, I was feeling lucky until we went to the casino. Actually I didn't do that bad. It was Laura that was struggling today. We went with the same amount of money and (as always) we said when we are done with that money, then we are done for the day. I play the slots (25 cents) and Laura plays blackjack. I was down to my last $20 when I hit a small jackpot. I won 288 tokens and with the ones I had I had close to 400 tokens. Laura came over and asked for some money. I gave her mine and she asked (well told is more like it) to go get some more money out of the ATM. I hate getting money out at the casino because they charge you something like $4 just to get money. What a rip off. So, I took out some money and went to the 50 cent machines. I instantly was up to $120. I played for another 2 hours and when it was all said and done we were both broke, as usual. But we had fun. We went with her parents and it was a blast watching them play. At the end her Mom said, " we are down to our last few dollars AND we are at the penny slots." Enough said. It was now time to eat.
Unlike Vegas where buffets are cheap, the buffets in Kansas City are not cheap. I think for the two of us it was $33. I had only had some oatmeal for breakfast and a banana so I was literally starving. The doctors have been adjusting my meds and if I don't eat every 3-4 hours I get dizzy and a headache. About an hour before we quit I noticed I was a little dizzy and I had a horrible headache coming on. Once we sat down I was more then ready for our meal. Laura kept calling it "linner". Which meant lunch/dinner "don't ask me to cook tonight". I think my stomach is shrinking because I was full after my first trip. My headache instantly went away.
This is a busy week for us. On Thursday I am going for my Kansas Social License. I guess third time is a charm. Then Friday the whole family is getting together for Laura's Dad's birthday. Getting the whole family together is sometimes very challenging. Then Saturday I have to work (crap!!!) since we are having an all agency retreat. Saturday night we are going down to the country for a hayride. Apparently this one is pretty scary and I am kind of scared myself.
Have a great week everyone. Wish me lots of luck on Thursday for my test.

I don't like going to the casino because I never win, but it is alot of fun watching people play.
Sounds like you are going to lose 5 more pounds with the busy week you have ahead of you. Remember to breathe every once in a while :)
have a great week.
Well, I wish I were there to give you a good luck hug, but you'll have to settle for a long range one. Good luck, kiddo! :-)
onecrazylady--i am hoping for 5lbs this week, but we'll see.
traci--thanks i need all the luck i can get
lynilu--thanks. i am hoping this is the last time i will have to take this test.
Just once I do want to go gambling and play the slot machines.
Sounds like you had fun. Remember to eat now and I wish you all the luck in the World on your test!
I've been to casinos in Atlantic City, Vegas and San Diego. I must be wired weird, because gambling holds no attraction for me whatsoever.
My casino trick is whatever I start with as I win a bit, I just put back my winnings and play with my original $$$. When my original $$$ runs out, I either choose to start over (with my winnings) or just consider myself lucky to come away with anything and leave. Bet you can guess how many times I actually left with anything, right? (z-e-r-o)
Good luck on your test! All our crossable body parts will be crossed for good luck for you. :)
