Christmas in July!!!!!!!! YAHOO!!!
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!!!
lol lucky you!! I just turned 19 this weekend so that makes me legal in Canada (where I live). My boyfriend took me to a small casino but I lost 60 dollars right away
I think I might go to a much bigger casino next weekend! hopefully I win there!
You are lucky…. When my husband and I went to Vegas we did the same thing with giving ourselves an amount we could spend and sticking to that amount but we didn’t win anything and I love the penny slots they can be fun.
Talk about a blessing! The Lord knows you were due!
Keep Believing and Keep Receiving!
I love the Soaring Eagle Casino. My husband and I stayed in one of the rooms with a hot tub in January while we were there for a concert. It was so beautiful. Had an excellent time!!!
YiPPEEE! is right! you are coming with me sista! next time I hit the casinos. You seem to have the magic formula for success! Almost $500.00? on the penny machines? I usually lose $20.00 in my first 3 minutes at the 25 cent machines and then I cry. Start all over again until I reach maybe $50.00’s and then I’m really crying. Donald has the same experience. No need for a room overnight for us, the entire experience last under half and hour, lol! It makes me feel so good to read how happy you and Alan are. You are such a beautiful, loving couple you deserve it sister Jane. Love Ya!
Oh! I almost forgot, I love the new pic of Talan boy! is he growing!
Sounds like you had a wonderful time. Glad to hear you had such a good time and that you had some winnings.
Woo hoo! Can I touch you? Congrats!! I love the new pic too! Hugs!! Yeah, I had to read blogs anyways, I need the boost!
Congrats on the winnings! Way to go getting on that treadmill!
That is great…sound’s like a lot of fun!!!!
May God continue to bless you like He did on your trip!
