A bit of this and that

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen and welcome to the latest installment of my randomness...

Well maybe not 100% randomness today, more like just a few things that have been going on...

Friday night, hubby and I spent a night out at Mohegan Sun. We were most lucky as a lady I work with, Kathy, was kind enough to get Barenaked Ladies tickets for us so we figured we'd make a night of it.

We started with dinner at Bobby's Burger Palace, one of Bobby Flay's restaurants in the casino. Holy cow was this place great! And the prices there aren't bad at all. I had a classic burger with potato chips on it, onion rings (These things are ginormous!), and a Vanilla Caramel Bourbon milk shake... I was SOOO full after that, I actually couldn't finish it. Will had the Burger of the month (I think it was called the Carolina Burger but don't quote me on that) that had this yummy looking red cabbage and green onion slaw on it. Will said it was quite tasty though I didn't get the chance to try it. The french fries he got had this dipping sauce with 'em too that was tasty but oh my it made my tongue go all tingly when I tried it.


Then it was show time... and it was AWESOME! Great music, lots of laughs. The seats were perfect, we could see everything with little to no use of the big screens they had set up on both sides of the stage. Couldn't have asked for better! (THANK YOU AGAIN KATHY!)

After the show, we met up with Will's friend Josh and his friend Rosie as they had been at the concert too. Rosie is an awesome chica... and of course I had to stick my nose where it probably didn't belong and ask Josh why this girl was not his girlfriend... she was awesomesauce indeed. But that aside, we decided to hang out and do a bit of gambling, not much as none of us are really gamblers... Josh parked at a Craps table and I figured I'd hit a Penny slot that was behind the Craps table. I put $20 in and played $.40... Won $16.00 on that one spin! I got up after that... I had already almost doubled my cash and SOOOOO was not going to push my luck. One spin and I make money... I'm good! Josh managed to make his money back a little too on the Craps table so we both figured that was enough. (Will doesn't gamble at all and Rosie didn't seem interested in actually playing... she hung out and chatted while this like 10 minutes of gambling was going on). We finished the night with a stop at Starbuck's. Another lucky night for me indeed. The girl that was working was someone I'd known from the days I'd worked at Discovery and she remembered me! So of course we chatted for a minute (it was busy so couldn't chat long) and then she let me have mine and Will's beverages no charge! What a night! We didn't get home until after 1am.

Took most of the weekend to recover from it... though thankfully there weren't doing anything really for the rest of the weekend so it was nice to just laze about and relax.
