Busy in Vegas - updated with another video



Here's a video of Rayne 'jumping'! Too funny. - Tricia

I'm doing the blog this morning, because we're going out tonight and I don't want to be doing it late like I did last night. I'm not sure where we're going, but we decided to do our walking in the casinos where it's cool this afternoon. We may get lost and end up somewhere that we didn't expect to go, like last night, but we'll see.

I'm working on the computer at the Internet Station as we learned yesterday that the phone lines are fixed so that I can never get dial up from them. Needless to say I was really hacked about that, but it's my business to not let that stress me! Today I'm getting my bills paid, etc. from this location. It will work and I can be happy or not; it's my choice and I'm working on making the right choice!

Another lady just came up and brought me a bunch of food they have left from their week. They're leaving today and the food is going to waste if she didn't find someone to take it. So there's a perk to sitting out here in the public's eye to pay my bills. (I never had bills before breast cancer, but that doesn't come free, so I have bills as I learn how to de-stress! Something is wrong with that picture, but it's how the picture is painted!)

I've done the big half of my exercises; only the little half and walking left. There are some I only have to do once a day, so those add onto the even split, making a big and a little half. We'll have lunch and then I'll go get some sun and do the laps in the pool. Then we'll come back to the room and I'll do the little half, clean up and we're out to hit the town. HA! We are such goobers. We walk all over the place and then sit down to a penny poker machine until our $2 runs out or we wear out. I'm sure the high rollers are rolling their eyes at us, but it's good exercise for them; I don't see anyone raising cane except me! HA!

I thank God that we have this access so that I can keep in touch and get my business done. My list of thanks is so long. I go around thanking God all the time, so I guess the folks think I'm talking to myself, too. Little do they know; God is right here with me holding my hand.

  2. Yes, they have them, but bring your walking shoes! They are hidden and you have to walk to find them. Oh, they have penny slots, but you have to play about 50 cents to a dollar to have any chance at winning, so it's really not a penny machine. Those are all over the place, so if you know how to make them work in your favor you'll love it. We look for the penny poker machines. They let you bet more than a penny at a time, but I don't. They let you play 50 to 100 games at one time and that's tempting, but I don't. Sometimes I'll play 3 games and sometimes even 10. That's fun, but it eats at my $2 self inflicted limit, so I don't do much of that, either. Anyway we didn't find ANY penny poker machines at the Riviera, so be sure to bring your walking shoes. they have the penny slots, though.

    We can hardly wait to see you. The shirts are to be shipped on Thursday; as soon as they get here we're going over to the Riviera to find you and the others who have come early. We've got some coupons for buy one and get one free at the buffet at the Monte Carlo, so lets go eat!

    Love you,
