Reading: Got though a couple of chapters of Pasquale's Nose, and a chapter of my history textbook. 

Listening: Leading With My Heart- Alice Peacock

Kitten Mischief: We called them from the casino so they could hear our voices on the answering machine.  Oh shut up, you do it too. 

Linky Love: I am too tired to find a good link.  Go to Google Images and type something like "llama" or "garden gnome" instead.

Misc:  Wining for Dummies is my favorite quarter slot machine, but I think we might be breaking up after Saturday.

Got up at 4:45am on Saturday, left about 5:15am, and didn't get home till midnight.  LONG day!  I thought that I would get some sleep on the bus, but didn't happen!

If you missed Friday's post (What's wrong with you?), Mom and I took a bus up to Kansas City on Saturday to go to a couple of casinos.  We know a great tour company that is super cheap- this time it was $15, which is less than what we would spend on gas ourselves, and we got two buffets and $5 to spend gambling.  Ohhh how I wish I had only spent $5 now.  I'm never super-lucky, but I usually do moderately well.  Like if I start with $50, I come home with $80.  Not the case for either of us this time, we both just kept losing all day.  At the second casino, after I watched $20 just slip away within minutes on a slot machine, I said screw it, and walked over to the lobby of the attached hotel, where I curled up in a comfortable leather chair with a book.  (What, you don't bring a book when you go to the casino?)  As if I wasn't bummed enough about losing money (which really needed to go towards the purchase of a new camera), when the casino lady swiped my card to enter the contest they were having, she asked if I knew I was only wearing one earring.  Yup, I lost one of my *favorite* earrings somehow.  I went back to the hotel lobby, but it wasn't there, and nobody had turned it in (it's a huge chandelier type on, you wouldn't be able to miss it), and went back to the buffet, but no earring there either.  I am in mourning.

I ended up sleeping damn near all day today.  I was SO tired when I got home last night, but still didn't fall asleep until around 2am.  My sister MaryAnn was here for the day today, so she woke me up at 10am.  I fell back asleep around 2 when she and mom went to the store, and woke up again at 5.  Then I fell asleep again at 9pm, and slept till midnight, which is now.  Mmm, sleep!
