Sometimes you have to change plans. Like yesterday. The girls were supposed to get on the road and drive to NY.
NY was in the middle of a snowstorm. They were expecting up to a foot of snow. I advised them not to go. We were getting torrential downpours here in RI…thank god it wasn’t snow. Also, L woke up with a fever and croupy cough. A quick trip to the doctors ruled out strep and the flu. Just a bad cold.
Today they’re going to try it again. L is feeling better and the snow has ended, along with the rain.
The DH and I plan to drive to CT to Foxwoods. We most likely won’t gamble. We’re not big on gambling, but I enjoy the shops. Also, he loves the food at the Hard Rock Café. So we’ll have a late lunch, browse and maybe play a few slot machines – I did win $40 last time we went.
It wasn’t a totally kid-free weekend, but we’ll take what we can get. :o)

Another New Week
What a fun weekend. The DH and I took off for the Hard Rock Café in Foxwoods Casino on Saturday. We both enjoy the Hard Rock and visit new ones whenever possible. I swear I must be the most accident prone person you’ll ever meet. I was walking across the restaurant in my high-heeled books and BANG! Fell. I didn’t even have a F’ing drink yet. The place was packed and let me say – it was very embarrassing. I was a bit sore on Sunday – mostly my right wrist. Like I need THAT hurt.
After dinner and a few drinks…surprising I was walking much better. LOL Seriously I was just more careful. Though the hostess told me it happens more than she’d like to admit. Think they might want to do something about the hardwood floors??? Just a thought.
Anyway, we walked about the shops and decided to go into a slots room. I told the DH I was only willing to lose ten bucks. He offered me twenty, but I declined. I took out five to begin with. I roller coastered up and down for a bit and was up to ten when I turned over the ticket to the DH. I went to another machine and began playing. It was a 1 cent machine. I know last of the big spenders. I wound up winning $12. At the same time my hubby won on his machine a few feet away. He won $194. We took our money and drove home. We left ahead and had a free night out. What could be better? Probably me not falling.
Sunday we went house hunting. We’ve been here five years and while we love our home, we’re growing out of it. With all the kids, grandbaby, and three dogs it’s not too hard. We didn’t see anything we really liked, so maybe next time.
I did do something productive this weekend. I submitted a quickie to my editor. Under the new EC guidelines they have a 7-10k quickie. I had a story I thought would work. I originally was trying to shorten it to make it a naughty nooner, now I don’t have to. If this gets accepted I have to give a big shout out to fellow EC author Sandra Stewart who took the time to read it and make suggestions to shorten it.
Did you do anything exciting over the weekend?
