Goldfish

Tomorrow we are planning to leave for Kansas. We plan to take our time getting there. Hannah - we need you to make a hair appointment.

Scott, Mom and I went to the casino last night. Mom and I are wanderers and I can say I have played every slot machine in the place. I don't have a system.... except the system of boredom. I play five dollars here and five dollars there, so I am basically all over the place. I don't pound on the machines, kiss the screens, hold rosary beads and say "Hail Mary." I just slip a five dollar bill in, if there is any kissing going on it is simply the act of kissing the five dollars away.
PhotobucketI was down to my last $5 and I wandered by the "Goldfish" Slot. I didn't bother sitting down because I know how fast the money goes on a two cent machine. I placed a three cent bet and poked the button.  Scott happened to walk by when 5 goldfish lined up in a row on the screen.


All he could say was "Damn Mom you're buying dinner tonight." I am thinking I just paid for the gas for the trip.

I hope you are answering your phone on the way because I need to talk to you about scheduling the hair appt. you guys are going to LOVE ginger. I told her I didn't like wisps in the front, and I could tell that she liked them but she listened to me. she's good. I know I said that about effie, but I get another chance, right? umm I am going to try calling you sometime this weekend. we're really looking forward to seeing you guys. I am sooo excited!
