I'm baaaack!!!
Omg, you have all been very busy! I cannot go back and read everything without a time-stopper, but I will try to catch the new ones!
Although this is a busy week, too!
First thing is first... Atlantic City was awesome! Truly an adult playland! Lots of fun had by all! Especially my mom, since she was winning! I was up, then down, then up, then down, and on the last night back up! Mom let me keep that last night's winnings.
I promised to spend it on myself, and I did. Books! Yay!
We also had lots of great food! 4 and 5 star restaurants... yum! Il Verdi, Cuba Libre, and The Palm. Also, lunch at the Irish pub, Ri Ra!
Kathy joined us Thursday and stayed overnight. It was so much fun to just play and eat and drink together! No kids! No Hubby's! Just us three girls!
The kids and all the pets were thrilled to see us when we got home! Only one traumatic event happened while I was gone. The kids went to Boy Scouts and all the boys were playing football. And, Pumpkin Muffin. She tackled Fuzzy and somehow hyperextended his elbow. Again. Same one he injured playing 'real' football 2 years ago. Hubby had to take him to the pediatric orthopedist. Fuzzy is fine, but needs to be in a sling for two weeks total. Never a dull moment!
My birthday was very nice! We had dinner at the Grand Lux Cafe. The kids gave me a Starbucks gift card, and Hubby had already given me the iphone. My parents had bought me some clothes, my mom took me away, and I got to keep some winnings. Kathy gave me and itunes gift card!
A great birthday booty! 43! I am clinging to saying 'early 40's' but I am pushing it! LOL
This week will be busy! Yesterday and today, I am mostly trying to rest. I rested in AC when I needed to do so, but I needed more once I got home. All in all, the rheumatoid arthritis behaved pretty well! Thank goodness for the vitamins, they are really helping. And, taking a pain killer helps when needed, too.
I have an appointment for bloodwork on Wednesday followed by an award ceremony at the school. Both kids made the honor roll, with Pumpkin on the 'distiguished'. All good! I am very proud of them!
Thanksgiving will be here, too! We go to Kathy's house and I am really looking forward to it! I will be making and bringing my maple glazed carrots!
Okay... gotta go!
be well...

I'm glad you had such a wonderful time and are home safe and sound. Congratulations to the Honor Roll honorees!! I hope your blood tests go well.
Sounds like you really had a great time...good for you. Glad you won some moola. The last time I went to Hard Rock casino (in Tampa) I lost so much I haven't been gambling since! Happy belated B-day
Sounds like a blast! I'm glad you had such a great time--and such a great haul!
Our favorite way to fix carrots is to boil them, add a little butter, and maple syrup. It's the best!

Kids, cats, Atlantic City, birthdays, as usual your life is overflowing! 43, omg you're still a kid lol!
Dawn, I hate blogs and journals. When one (you) do not post for a week or more it leaves me with an empty feeling.
I have provided in my will that all of my readers will see a post written by a child of mine or by my nest buddy. Sounds terrible but I would hate for my followed or followers not to know what happened to me.
Dom't mean to get depressing with this response.
Let us hear from you, Bill
Hope everyone is feeling better by now and your bloodwork if good (with a nurse who could do it without pain)! Thinking of you!
I'm just stopping by to say hi! How are you doing?

You spent it on books. That is just so shocking. I would NEVER have assumed you'd do that.
Helps tone that razor-sharp mind.
