In Lieu
In lieu of posting a very stereotypical and potentially racist blog, I will talk about my weekend. Actually...I have one statement. "Beggars can't be choosers." That's all.
I had a wonderful dinner with good friends on Friday night. I have never eaten at Houston's before - and they had possibly the best steak I have ever put in my mouth! Kayle had the turkey club, a little of Matt's steak, and some of Lauren's couscous. As we got out of the car at their apartment..."I think I got mayonnaise all over myself." She's definitely in the runnings for "Cutest Pregnant Lady Ever".
On to Shreveport! It was great! I had such an amazing time. Our matching traveling outfits were a big hit at the casino...with such comments as, "Look! It's three twins!" and "Hey, are those your pajamas?" and "Aren't you the girls from earlier who were wearing sweatpants?" I think people noticed us.
I did lose ALL the money I took to gamble with...fortunately it was a blast. Tim told me to learn how to enjoy gambling whether you're losing or winning...and I think I did. I found my love for penny slots (Hot Hot Penny was the best!) and blackjack. I owe a big win on a double down to a large older man in an orange shirt. Buddy, thanks for helping me out! Candice scored big on the nickel slot within the first five minutes we were there...$100! Needless to say, she enjoyed her weekend.
I will definitely go back to Shreveport. And hopefully we can take a bigger group next time. I will forewarn you though - if you go with me - you're gonna have to get a traveling outfit. And they will have to match. So that next time we can be "7 twins!" or something uneducated like that.
Peace, Love & Hot Hot Penny (She really isn't as Hot Hot as you'd think.)

havent you seen all the commercials about shrevport being too far away???? anyways, glad you had fun. eric is from louisiana so i feel like i see shrevport once a month!!! we have to go through there to go to baton rouge, which by the way has great casinos!! they call it "the boat" over there, but i believe there are several boats! eric and i just play the nickle and penny slots, they are so addicting. one time, like dorks, we stayed home and eric taught me how to play blackjack, we were going to perfect my game, so that I could play for real someday :) anyways, plan your trip for a time when we are going to baton rouge and we are there baby!!! and hannah and i will get the travelling outfits too!!! doesnt sound that much fun when you put a child into the equation huh?......better get a sitter!!!
