Four days off

These four and five day weekends are starting to grow on me. Especially when I get to lay in bed all day watching movies on Lifetime and Lifetime Movie Network. LOL

We really haven't done much this New Year's Eve weekend. Bob got another window put in Friday. I did nothing to help him, I was at work so there wasn't much I could do from 7 blocks away and 6 stories up. I can't think of a single thing we did Saturday. I think it rained all day and we just spent the day being lazy, lazy, lazy. LOL On Sunday, my mom came over to spend the evening with Miss Whineyhiney while Bob and I went out for New Year's Eve.

That's a story, New Year's Eve. A co-worker/friend of mine invited us to a somewhat private party in Grove at a club/bar. Now, keep in mind that this club/bar is literally half a block from where our house was when we lived in Grove and we lived there for 6 years and never went there. We're not into the "party" scene. Having said that though, I wanted to party for the new year so I convinced Bob to take me out, OUT, OUT!!!!!!!!!! We got there around 7:30ish and paid our cover charge. Cover charge, that's a new one for me. LOL We never go places that charge you just to walk in. LOL As luck would have it, our friends are already there so we're off to a great start. Bob orders a Jack & Coke and I just sit and relax. Bob and the boys are shooting pool and telling lies to each other while us girls are giggling and talking about boobs and penis sizes. Life is gooooooooood. There really are some nice people out there, I'm so lucky to have such good friends! I ordered a Bailey's & Cream and the party (for me) started! Yumm, I love Bailey's!! We moved from the karaoke room back to the ballroom and the band started in and so did the dancing!! Not that Bob and I will ever dance, but others did and it was fun to watch. We were there for about 2 hours, just getting to where Bob had a slight buzz, and some fucker came over to us and told Bob he couldn't wear his ball cap in the ballroom. Lovely. Cowboy hats were ok, but not ball caps. Well, fuck. That did it. Bob doesn't wear a cowboy hat and if he did, it's 45 minutes away in MIAMI!!!!!!! So, he takes off his hat and the hurt feelings fly. I could tell just by looking at him he was embarrassed and kind of pissed off. They took our money at the door and he had on the same hat, why didn't anyone say anything then? He'd have taken it off and put it in the Jeep, no, they had to wait until he was having fun and then ruin our evening. Wonderful. I could tell Bob was hurt so I told him if he wanted to leave it was fine, he tried and that was all I needed. About 20 minutes after we left, my friend called me to apologize for the fucker's behavior, which was completely unnecessary, and to let me know that she got our cover charge back. That was so nice, so sweet. I have such good friends.

After that, we left decided to hit a casino a little closer to home. We went to High Winds and decided to try our luck at the machines. With a measley $40 in our pockets, we were destined to come home broke and beaten. In actuality though, $40 was enough for us, we even had drinks, hard drinks, not just beer! I played a Bootlegger machine on $5 for well over an hour. Bob was drinking and watching me play and the guy next to me just couldn't lose his last buck so at 72 cents he got up and asked Bob if he wanted to play it out. Bob sat down and played that 72 cents for a good half hour, maybe longer! We really had a good time. Finally, both out machines crapped out on us and we headed over to the tumbler machines (like Money Bags, Crazy Bill, Red Hot Ruby and Crazy Cherry) 'cause it was nearly midnight and I knew that once it was midnight we'd be outta there like lightning. As midnight approached and we donned our festive hats, I turned my measley $5 into $70 and felt that I was doing good. Midnight came and balloons fell upon us, we blew our little paper horns and drank our horse-piss champagne, Bob even leaned over to kiss me happy new year. Yeah, life is good.
