Last night we went to GIS2’s soiree.
It was casino night, which is something like playing dress-up as an adult.
To clarify this is what I mean: I mean that adults get dressed up all fancy and then gamble using completely fake money at an instant casino (just add water).
The problem was that they had a two drink limit on the bar.
OK, the first two drinks were free, then you had to pay.
My dillema, because I didn’t know that I was going to have to pay for drinks (non-alcoholic, I had to drive) and I didn’t want to waste my tickets early.
So, to remedy that I had one drink when I got there and held onto the other ticket just in case I got thirsty later, fearing that I’d have the need get one more drink later I never spent the ticket.
It’s now a souvineer for the evening’s events.

My choice in gambling was open to craps, 21, blackjack, poker, slotmachines and cheese.
I ate a lot of cheese.
Since the other tables were generally crowded I chose to play Roulette.
If you’re not familiar with roulette I’ll describe it briefly to you.
Roulette consists of a table covered in felt, a wheel covered in numbers, and a roulette referee to keep the players from illegal holding.
You place chips (corn) on the felt pad which is covered in numbers (1-36 plus other miscellaneous things like even, odd and the like).
After players have placed chips bets, signified by the chips, the referee throws a little ball into the roulette wheel (which is spinning).
Shortly thereafter the ref will declair, “Five yard penalty, offense.”
For this each player must give the ref several chips and salsa.
Just kidding, more than likely you will not get a five yard penalty.
HOwever, you might lose your chips if the ball lands on the wrong part of the wheel.

I kept winning, which means that I stayed pretty much even.
The night ended somewhat young for us because we had to go get Abby from her babysitters (the Black’s).
We appreciated their kindness.

In the end the cheese won, and I’ve been able to reduce my overall intake of beano by 30%.

Resting in Him,
