Our weekend

#1 let me just say that I took VERY LITTLE pictures...in fact I think I took 4 and they are all of the Welcome to Louisiana or the Welcome to Texas sign! LOL
Saturday, Logan had a T-ball game at 9:00am. So we were packed and loaded up by 8:20 and at the fields by 8:40. Only 3 people from the opposing team showed up...and even though I was super excited about our trip, I was sad at the thought that he wouldn't get to play his game. Luckily they worked it out to where it was kind of like a practice. There would be 4 people in the dugout at a time while the rest of the kids were in the field. One person would go bat, then the next person would warm up, and after they got all the way around the bases, they would put on their gloves and go into the field, while another player would go to the dug out...it was really nice that they still got to play. My cousin Amber came to the game as well, she is actually at the doctor right now finding out the sex of her baby! Exciting!
After the game we headed for Houston, and it was great, both kids slept the majority of the way. But I hate IH-10 it is so long and boring. JR's mom, Carol, met up with us right off of IH-10, so we didn't have to detour on our way to LA. We ate at subway, said goodbye to the babies, and continued to Lake Charles. It was such a long car ride...and it was my first time in Louisiana, so I have to just say that it was a culture shock to me. I dont think I have EVER been so close to an actual death trap! People were driving all crazy, apparently the shoulder of the road, CAN AND WILL be used as an extra lane when traffic backs up - it was nuts - I have never seen anything like it. Also, I completely understand the term "coon ass" now! I told JR that "beauty is determined by the amount of teeth you have." after meeting several people there! LOL So JR and I said originally that we were going to each get $400 to gamble with - but later, after getting new tires and a few other things that popped up, we decided to go down to $300...which gave us each $150 per day. Some how when we left the casino to go to dinner, JR talked me into using our entire $400 that night so we could get up and hit the road in the morning. First, I was pretty tipsy, second - obviously I didn't catch on to the fact that he moved the number back up to $400. So he went to the ATM and got the money. He had already used $140 of the $200 from earlier, and I had already spent $95 from the $200. So we each added $200 to our wallets and headed back to the casino. I sat at the roulette table for quite some time, without once dipping into my wallet. I played with the same money I started with...but JR showed up to tell me he was taking a break. After a little bit more probing I found out he had lost it all. So I gave him $100 of my money to go play some more. A while later he was back. so I gave him $40 to play roulette with me. FIRST, let me say that I HATE to play side by side with people I know...I hated doing it in Vegas with my sister...or JR...and I HATED doing it with JR in LA. BUT - I told myself to get out of my own head, I was up $80 so, I had almost made up for the $100 I gave JR earlier. 10 minutes later JR was out again, so I gave him another $40. That lasted a good bit of time, and when he doubled that money I asked him to cash in $40 and give it back to me and he could still play with the $50 he had on the table...but he said no - that he won that money....that's when things got more than upsetting. At that point I had already given him $180 of the money that was supposed to be my gambling money. I was only giving him $40 increments because once JR has enough chips he starts playing crazy and placing $25 dollar bets instead of the minimum $10 which is how he loses his money so fast. Then to tell me that it was his money that he won...ummm? Where did you get the money to play with? Anyway, after that things just went downhill, I lost all my chips and my remaining money - and I was PISSED. When we got back to the hotel I tried taking a few breath and just explaining to him how I felt. I told him I knew I was being bitchy and I appreciated him listening to me, and he said that he understood where I was coming from - that it would have upset him to. Then we decided that going to the casino together just may not be the best of ideas! LOL JR ended up walking away with $83 and he said that we could go back to the casino the next day and it was my money to play with and he would NOT ask for any. So back we went and I played with $40 for a little over an hour...I got up to $75 and told my self that if I got up to $80 I would cash out...unfortunately I couldn't break that hump, so I cashed out with $50....hey I still won $10. Then JR (surprise, surprise) asked if he could play with $20 and I could play with $20...and of COURSE, I said "ah.....okay" after about an hour and a half I cashed out...I was on a steady decline, so I left with $30...another $10 gain...JR was the shooter in craps, but was out of money so he was just waiting to crap out or whatever (I dont get that game) So I left the casino with the same amount that I went in with that morning! Not to bad! LOL
I will save the rest of this for later!
