Hilarious serious.

So...

I was reading another person's blog here the other day....

SHE inadvertently attached a link to her blog that has now given me access to view Eagles and their Eaglets.... so.. I might never be back!

Since I am ever so "link challenged"... it's called "zaplive.tv" .... this should take you places!

In other things funny....

We went on a Casino adventure the other night.... it was not planned, nor was it thought of when I left the homestead...in fact... when it was mentioned... I really didn't want to go... but guess what... why pass up the opportunity for a little casino fun... and when I am 103, and sitting somewhere looking out a window.. I will at least hopefully have the memory that even when I was too tired to make an effort, I still made an effort. There you go.

Anyways.. long story short... I managed to win $1400.00. It was nothing but incredulous dumb luck. I have seen others play HUGE amounts of credits on the slot machines, and get back what they put in.. I on the other hand was playing (my typical) penny machine, with 10 lines... so in an essance, it's considered 10 and 1. Not a huge amount to gain any returns on... but that was just it... it was a random jackpot.. and I was the recipient! The husbandman was for sure thinking that this will of course make my crazed self even more addicted to this "evil sport"... but nothing will change for me....however; that said.. I did raise the stakes the other night, and played some machines at twice, and three times my bet... so 20 and 30 cents... it didn't trigger much of anything. Meanwhile.. I did share my winnings with the Mom and Sister.. which then the Sister took to the fancy 5 cent machines, and then off to the dollar machines... DOLLAR machines. Yes, something that I would never do..... even though I thought I would if I won a bunch of money.. which I did...

So today... I gifted myself NEW runners (buy one, get the second pair HALF off).... which was nice, because I didn't really spend a lot of time fretting over price tags... and some new jeans (OK.. the joke here is... that I went out in my gardening clothes.. and the Mom and the Sister said to me that I should take the pants in....but they are comfortable!!!), and some other pants, and two new summer sweaters... (OK.. the next joke is... I have been fretting over going out and spending money on buying some new articles of clothing...and not doing so... JUST BECAUSE...). So.. this has been nice.... I did have to STEW about putting the cash towards things that were practical.. because I am just that... very practical... but I threw caution to the wind, and behaved like a crazed woman. AND.. in an extra gift... I arrived at Costco to purchase some outdoor lights that I have been wanting for the front of the homestead as well, plus a book, that I wanted... JUST BECAUSE.

Don't be scared oh diligent readers... this girl isn't addicted to endless adventures into the casino for grandious shopping sprees... however.. I am addicted to people watching.. and that alone will keep me going back....
