Happy BDay

Posted to Home category

I took the day off but ended up going into work around 9am as I was bored. No one else was home, the kids were in school and Sukki was at work. I was going to watch TV all day, but after the first hour of the Today show I gave up and drove into work.

I was surprised by a card on my desk. Beth, Heather and Elyse gave me some gift cards and movie passes :) Thanks all! :)

I tried not to do any annoying work, I spent time doing some web stuff, rebuilding a linux server and talking with the staff. I went home after Shane called the office wondering why I wasn't home.

Sukki wanted to go up to the casinos. Not her birthday, but I went anyway. We had a coupon for two free dinners and I had been collecting the birthday cards the casinos had been sending me, each promising a free gift.

Dinner was great. We ate at the Lodge casino, a place we hadn't bothered going to before. It will now be our main dinner place. We used to eat at the Capri casino, but the Lodge is a lot better.

We arrived at Blackhawk around 8pm, and stayed till the casinos closed at 1:45am. I hit a $1 slot machine for $1000 at Fitzgerald's and won a few hundred bucks at some of the other casinos. We casino hopped, as I was cashing in the birthday cards for swag, didn't get anything earth shattering, but had fun going from casino to casino. Sukki and I also get the free cash coupons in the mail and between us we had about $120 bucks of free money. When the night was over we more than doubled our money, and had a free dinner.

Tonight the kids gave me some bday presents. I got a bunch of rubber duck related things, a key chain and some towels, a box set from the Kinks, a pedometer and a shower CD\radio.
