Mini Holiday

Faye, Mary, and I had our little mini holiday at the casino and we had a great time as usual. Unfortunately, I lost again but it was still fun.

We had free dinners and breakfasts so we all ate way too much. Buffets are really killers for me because I eat a plate full of hot food, a plate of salads, and then dessert. That is not a normal meal for me but it's there and I can't resist it. I was almost too full and tired to gamble but I gathered my resources and forced myself to do it.

After breakfast today, we gambled for an hour before going to an outlet mall nearby to shop. I lost a little bit more. Mary found a really nice pair of dress shoes at Nine West and I almost succumbed to the temptation to buy a pair, too. I just didn't need another pair so I fought off the urge. I'd always thought that Nine West shoes were horribly expensive but Mary's cost her under $30 with the tax.

My right knee, the so-called good one, has been hurting something fierce for over a week now and I don't know what I did to it. It made walking quite painful so we didn't stay at the mall long. I hate holding Faye and Mary back but they didn't seem to be too interested in staying longer than we did, anyway.

I love our little trips to Fallsview, especially when we get the free room and free dinners. It helps to take the sting out of losing at the slot machines. We'll be going back!
