Fun Weekend

I spent this weekend gambling in Shreveport! :) I had a professional development day on Friday (meaning the kids had no school and the teachers did) so we were on the road by 3:30 pm. It was my first time actually being in a casino so we played penny slots. We each put in $100 and he didn't do as well as I did... I got down to $70 at the penny slots. First I won 50 free games and got back up to the $80's. Then I won a little here and there and got back to $92. After that, I won a bonus feature and got 100 free games...out of that I won 50 more free games...out of that I won 15 more...and I ended up winning $78.45 on an initial $0.15 bet. (I have pictures to prove it and will be posting those soon!) I got up to $171 and the first thing I said was that I had to call Meme! (Those of you who know my grandma will understand!) We decided I was lucky due to the temporary #5 tattoo one of my students had given me the day before and I put on my wrist. :)

I wasn't so lucky on Saturday, but I didn't lose that much at all. This is mostly because I didn't bet that much either. I also refused to play blackjack since it was a $25 minimum and I had only played blackjack for pennies with my family! I did, however, find a pretty fabulous dress so I think my luck went towards shopping and not gambling!

All in all, it was a fun weekend! I'm glad I decided to leave Austin and do something new! I hope this weekend was fun for all of you as well!
