That's how we Roll.
My week went by fast. Same old.
Wed night we had a big work dinner party at a nice sports bar. One of the brokers our company does business with did it for us, to thank us for doing business with them. It was a fun time. Super cool deal. Free beers and lots of good mexican food and appetizers. I did not stay very long though as I still don't feel a part of my coworkers cliques. Such is life. I am VERY excited for my companies winter party in January. (The owners of my company are Jewish so it is just a general 'winter party', rather than Christmas.)
Thursday night I hung out with Tom. Faithful and true. Thursday night was also my Friday night, since I worked Sunday I got a 3 day weekend this week, woohoo!
Friday I got a lot accomplished! Grandma and I made breakfast together on Friday morning. That was entertaining. Good company for Grandma though. I had a HUGE avon order and I got all of it invoiced and delivered. I finished all my Christmas shopping and got all of my Christmas presents wrapped. It took me 3 and a half hours. My day was shot. And I wrap presents about as well as I fold clothes. (That's not saying much!) Next year I'm going to hire an elf. Anyway, I was quite proud of myself. I added up that I spent a total of $350 on all of my Christmas shopping combined. I had 14 people on my list and that averaged out to $25 a person. On top of that I got a LOT of sales on my Christmas shopping. I added up what I saved in sales, and I saved a total of $140 on my Christmas shopping. I think I was able to stretch my dollars quite far. I'm kicking butt at this game! Friday night I met up with Kelsey and Adam at Perkins. Had a fun time.
Saturday morning I met up with Tom, Angie, Kelsey, Adam and KP Smalls for breakfast at Chuck N Dales. We all had a lot of fun. We were there forever. After breakfast everyone went their sperate ways, and Tom and I palled around all day. We wondered around Target just for something to do, and took a joy ride in the snow, we played in the Dollar Store and Tom went with me when I got my hair cut. We saw a really skinny Santa Claus and were laughing at him and I told Tom he's a skinny santa because of the economy. We ended up back at his place watching movies and napping.
We split up last night and did our own thing. Tom met up with his guy buddies in Cedar Falls and they sang kariokee. I met up with Angie and we went to a Saturday night church service. Angie whispered something to me, and I accidently said, "Hell yeah!" really excited in church in reply to angie. It was embarrassing, but very funny. After that we went out to eat for Mexican and met up with KP Smalls and Heidi. Then we all went to the casino, and it was a very fun night. Kelsey and Adam were wondering around there with some of Kelsey's friends. We liked that you can still smoke in the casino, unlike the bars. A really good band was playing a lot of country songs and the dance floor was full. We hit the slot machines. We did a penny one first. I played a $20 bill for a very long time on it. At one point I screamed because I had 3 red 7's and I thought I won something really big. I only won $5.00. lol. I lost my $20. We then did the quarter machines and I was on my last spin of another $20 and I won $40.25. So basically I won all my money back, plus a quarter. I was going to stop there but after awhile I did spend $20 more in another quarter slot and lost it, so over all I lost $19.75 not bad for a nights entertainment. Us girls all stayed a very long time and had a blast!! I was in a slump for a few months and now I'm ready to play again.
I got home a little before 2 am, just as Tom was driving back. We talked for a long time and we both had so much fun. He said next time he wants to take me with him to sing kariokee because his friends are so funny and I am such a fun person he knows I will have so much fun. I told him we need to do the casino together too sometime and hit the dance floor with the band, lounge around the bar, etc,etc. He said he would love to!
Today has been shot. I slept in well past 8. I wasted 2 hours on my computer. It was 11 before I even showered. My phone rang off the hook for over an hour. I'm not feeling the greatest. I have been fighting this same cold for just over 3 weeks now. Tom is trying to get stubborn me to go to the doctor for it. I might try to get to a clinic one night this week if it still hangs on. Tom has been sick too and they gave him antibiotics, so we are probley passing the same stuff back and forth. He's right. I should just go and get better sooner. I went to visit my Grandpa and Grandma and stayed all afternoon, but they did take me out to eat at the steakhouse. That was a fun surprise. I'm resting up now. Tom is going to call me soon, as soon as his football game is done and we are going to watch the Step Brothers movie. I have been telling him how funny it is...And then I'm off into a new week. I hate to wrap up the weekends.
Girls night to the Casino...
That's how we roll!
My 3 7's...
