Donny and I never really go out, so it was a treat for his workplace to have a casino party. He had to work all day and I was still under the weather with some kind of respiratory issue, but I wasn’t going to let that stop me.

First of all, I want to give a shout out to Kiss Nails. I’m not a fan of wearing acrylic nails because I have it in my head that my nails can’t breathe when they are on. So, because I didn’t want to have to take the time to paint my nails I just used the glue on ones and……

I think they turned out pretty good considering they were only 3 bucks at Walmart. I will say this, you have to be pretty careful with the glue. I glued my fingers together, glued the pad of my finger to the top of the nail and got a few air bubbles. I still don’t think they look too bad for my first time. Reviews say they can last as long as 2 weeks. We’ll see.

The night started off really windy and cold. Almost to freezing, which for us is COLD. No problem, the inside of the hotel was warm and we had BBQ catered by Bodacious Barbecue and it was so good. If you ever find yourself in Longview, you really should try it. Only the location on Mobberly Ave. It is the original and the BEST one!

After dinner the gambling tables were open.

I tried craps first. Not my game. I kept losing and didn’t understand it at all.

Donny was having fun at the roulette table. If there is ever a picture that epitomizes him, this one is it. It’s good to married to someone as goofy as I am.

We were all give $3000 in fake money. At the end of the night, for every $1000 you have you get a ticket. There are prizes with cups in front of each one. If you really want a certain prize, you can put all your tickets in that cup or sprinkle them around for a better chance to win.

Each couple can only win one prize. We really wanted the PS4, but so did a lot of other people. We didn’t win that, but Donny put one of his tickets in a cup with a lot of other tickets already in there and guess what we came home with?

I didn’t think I’d ever want one, but I will have to admit it is really cool and fun to play with.

For the people that didn’t win a prize, there were some leftover so it was rock, paper, scissors to see who would take what home.

Mike won his rock paper scissors.

Donny works with a bunch of good people. If you know any of our story, you know just how thankful we are for this.

And because we seem to never have pictures together I thought I’d include this one. Not too bad, Craig.

Hope you are having a good weekend too,

Stacy
