Good Monday Morning to all my Special Buddys!!!!!

Wow…wow….wow….   :)   We had such an incredible weekend I just wanted to share it with my friends here at BuddySlim!!!

On Saturday my hubby and I called the Soaring Eagle Casino/Resort to see if they had any available rooms for the night.  At first he said he only had 1 room with 2 double beds…BOOOOO…nope, not gonna fly.  Not for over 100 dollars.  I said “are you sure that is all you have”?  He said…hold on…oh yes….I just had a room with a King bed open up…YIPPEE!!! By this time I’m doing the happy dance (thinking of you Jen Jen :)  )  I said we’ll take it!!

Off we go, quite a little drive….about 87 miles to be exact.  But thats ok because just being together with my husband AWAY from home is such a treat!!!

After check in off to the casino we go.  We were very practical about the money.  We each allowed ourselves $100 to gamble with.  We promised not to  pull any more money out.  This would be a challenge  LOL!!!

We had a fun evening, came back to the room around 10:00 p.m.  We had 1/2 the money we went with, but had played for over 4 hours and had a ball.

The next morning after breakfast and checkout we decided to just go back and play a little more…hehehehehe.

Something just seemed to guide me over to this silly 1 cent (penny) machine  LOL!! We play them, but mostly for the fun.  They typically are NOT money makers.

This one machine (Sea Lions) was just calling my name!! So here I go….insert @20.00.  Immediately this machine starts paying off.  My hubby sitting next to me is in shock.  It just kept going up and up, and the final amount was $289.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I immediately cashed out and smiled from ear to ear :)  I decided to put in another $20.00, so I did, and this time I cashed out at $170.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  All in all this particular machine paid out $459.00…minus the 40.00…..so thats $419.o0 for a penny machine

Needless to say we were just thrilled.  The winnings paid for the 200.00 in gamling…the 120.00 for the room, 30.00 for dinner, 15.00 for lunch and 20 for gas in the car and still allowed us to bring a little home. 

Ok…so were back to reality now!!!

By 8:00 a.m. this morning I have already

1.  Had 1 healthy shake today

2.  Walked on the treadmill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3.  Have dinner planned and prepped (we’ll have a healthy version of Goulash using Jennie-o Turkey Breast, fresh green peppers, vidalia onions, stewed tomatoes and yolk free noodles!!! We’ll also have fresh picked peas from the local farm

4.  Have my MT books and papers laid out ready for me.

I sure hope every had a fabulous weekend!! We sure did!!! I’m still smiling :)  Can’t seem to wipe it off my face…guess I really don’t want to..LOL!!!

Life is so good….God is so great….I love BuddySlim….I love my Buddys….May God bless you all today and everyday.

Healthy choices….keep moving….and the best medicine ever…SMILE SMILE SMILE!!!
