Blah, blah, blah. Yawn.

Having a slow day at work, feeling guilty about it. SIL(H) says it occasionally happens and take it while I can. But, even though I'm a Spin now, I still have the old "Herrick standby"...worry. So, I worry about not being busy. Then, when I am busy, I worry about not remembering everything I have to do, even though I wrote it down! Jeez, I'm never satisfied.

J and I had "date night" Saturday. I wanted to go out to dinner and then do something that didn't involve a movie, so he suggested going to the casino. I picked the casino on the West Bank, not Harrah's, and we had dinner there then went on to gambling. We played slots (I don't do the poker tables or anything like that) and after about an hour or so, I won $450!!! The first thing that came out of my mouth? "We need to leave NOW", then "I'm getting a a new purse!" (not sure why blogger's not letting me link - www.dooney.com) Jerrod laughed, we cashed out and split the winnings, then went back and gambled our original money that we had planned on spending anyway. After we left, I asked J to stop at Burger King so I could get a fountain drink. So, we're sitting in the drive-through (the inside was closed) and my phone rings. DJ says "What kind of date are you on at BK?" - he and Justin/Britney were in the Taco Bell drive-through! Small world.

Went to the zoo yesterday. BB wore her bathing suit (to play on Monkey Hill) under her clothes. So she's running on the sidewalk, and suddenly her pants fall down! I guess the bathing suit made things a little "slippery". It was pretty funny! Had a nice time, then had dinner with an old family friend from J's side of the family.

Ian is on his class trip, should be back tonight. Went to TN for whitewater rafting, Dollywood, 2 dinner theatres, and something else that escapes my memory at the moment. Of course as soon as he got on the bus, BB starts crying she misses her brother. We'll see how long that lasts once he's back! J is off this week, so they are at the movies today, then Wed he's off to H-town with the kids. Ian was going to stay in Houston an extra week, but I think he's going to come home and possibly cousin B will be coming to visit.

So, that's where I'm at. Holla!
