Winding Down

We were in Michigan from Saturday until yesterday. It was very nice. Thank goodness we left when we did because this morning on the news it said that there waws freezing fog and no planes were allowed to leave Detriot. We would have been stuck at the airport probably all day. Anyway, it was a very nice trip. We met our nephew, Jacob for the first time. He was very cute! I will have to post pictures at some point.

So we got back to St. Louis around noon yesterday and we had no food at our house. So we decided the only place we could think of that was open was the Casino. So, for the 3rd year in a row, we went to the Casino on Christmas. We figured this would be the last time we will be able to go for many many years. There is a new Casino that opended in St. Louis, Lumire Place or something like that. I can't really spell today because my brain is still very tired after such a long nice break. Anyway, we ate at the new burger bar. You can create your own burger. I had a turkey burger with cheddar, shredded beets and pickled green tomatoes. It was very very good. Dave had a Kobe beef burger, with swiss and bacon. His was very good too. So, we got our lunch/dinner in and then went to the Casino.

I finally won! I won almost $70.00 on the penny slots. I put in $20 and and walked away with almost $90. It was awesome. I never ever win. Then I played other penny slots and won just a little bit. It was great. I haven't been to the casino in a while, so it was nice to win. So that was our excitement yesterday. Then we got in bed around 6:30 and watched TV and I have no idea when I fell asleep. It was a great way to end our long break. I hope everyone else had a nice relaxing holiday.

So, the countdown really has begun. I only have 3 more days of work left!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited. I can't wait. I think Dave and I are going to celebrate either Friday or Saturday night. Thank goodness, I will be done.

Time to get back to work.
