Good Monday Morning :)

It's 6:20 AM. I have 10 good minutes to blog before I run to the shower so I can get out of here on time this morning :)

I had a really good weekend :) Friday night I actually kinda did get some scrapping done LOL I altered a Russell Stover Christmas candy box. I turned it into a "Birthday" box :) It is very cute and I had alot of fun working on it. I will get a pic of it posted soon. I would rather altered stuff it seems that scrap sometimes LOL

On Saturday night, me and the kids drove over to the casino in Bay St. Louis, MS. I had a coupon for a free night and a free buffet. The hotel is beautiful -- they've really sunk alot of money into it after Katrina. The room was amazing! My reservation was for a double which contained 2 queen beds. When we got there, there were no rooms -- so, they upgraded me to a junior suite :) The kids loved this! We ate at the buffet (not quite as good as it was before, but still good). Then we all went to the room and crashed and watched TV. I got up at 5 AM and went to the casino (everyone else just about was gone) and played my $10 freebie money which didn't take long to run out. But I got free coffee while I was playing so that was good. After the $10 ran out on the 25 cent machines, then I played forever and ever on a penny machine (on my money LOL). I was on a machine that kept hitting (for a change) -- of course it was a penny machine -- why couldn't it have been a dollar machine? Well, that's an easy answer, it's because I'm cheap and hate to put my money in a machine and lose it LOL!! So I'd never play dollars. But, I couldn't stay very long because DS had to go to work at 11 AM and we had to leave at 8 AM to drive home. I didn't "win" anything, but the casino knows I was there so maybe they will continue to send those coupons for free hotel nights!!!

We drove home early yesterday morning and got DS home in time to get a shower and get ready for work. Then DD and I went to Wally World to get an oil change (over due for that!) and pick up a couple of things. Then it was home to put up groceries and pick up a little bit. Later, I turned on the GCS Orange Beach FEB/2007 registration so everyone could sign up. But, only after I checked my email and found that they tried to automatically bill me for hosting on my credit card and it didn't go thru!!! My credit card expiration date had passed back in December, so my January hosting was declined LOL So I had to go in really quick and update my cc info first, then go in and turn on the registration. Whew!!! Anyway, got it all taken care of :)

Well, needless to say my 10 minutes (plus 10 more minutes) are up LOL! Time to get off and get ready for work :( I hope everyone has a great day!!
