Lost my cash at the Creek
Saturday we went to a family get-together in Vallejo with Alan's parents and then decided to go up to Cache Creek since we were in the 'area'. :)
Started off putting a $20 into a slot machine which pretty much was gone in about 2 minutes. I should never EVER begin with slots. Walked around a couple times and ended up at a $5 blackjack table. The first few hands the dealer kept winning, and I started to think that I ruined the table by joining. But eventually he busted and we started winning. I love $5 tables, but the head guy in the middle came over and told us that after this deck it would change to $10. So of course, I left after the deck was done. I think I walked away even.
Then headed over to craps where I thought it was $5 minimum but found out it was $10. Not bad, but I didn't usually bet what I always bet (on 6 and 8 all the time) since I was low on funds. Craps is funny - it's a roller coaster ride - first I was up then down then up. Unfortunately ended the run down, but didn't walk away empty-handed since the last shooter hit the point and I took what was left of my money and left. So for a couple of hours of fun, I guess it wasn't too bad.
As we were leaving, Alan told me that some girl won the progressive jackpot playing the Wheel of Fortune slots. $190,000! Why can't I win like that? :)
5K Run and Book Club
Sunday, Alan and I did the 5K run in SF for MMRF. My company sponsored a team so we decided to run. We need to train for the mud run in June! It was a nice run near the Golden Gate Bridge (started in Crissy Field), but it started to rain lightly towards the end of the run. Plus I had to hold my sweatshirt and t-shirt that I got, which I think slowed me down... (haha. I guess that's my excuse.) But it felt good to get up so early and exercise.
Afterwards, had lunch (Goldilock's takeout) with my parents in Daly City, hung out for a bit, then headed home to drop Alan off and head over to Shirley's nice new place in San Jose near Santana Row for book club lunch. It's always a great time to get together with the girls and talk about random things (mostly non-book related!) We all did this baby prediction thing with a necklace and a ring and it turns out that it says I'm going to have 4 kids! haha We'll see if it's true.
Where did the sun go?
I want the sun to come back! It's almost May!
