Lent is off to a questionable start. First day of lent and I went out gambling and eating until I was stuffed. And I brought my little brother with me for the sinning. Not a great start. But then again, I'm not Catholic. And he works there.
Adam and I went to the buffet because I had a couple of free buffet coupons. It wasn't the best service I've ever had there. In fact, I think it was the worst, but it was free. They had sections closed off so we were all packed in like sardines. Our drink orders didn't come until after we already had our food, they were out of fries (my favorite) and no creme brulee. After gorging on whatever vegetarian stuff they had, we went to go place my free bet. The casino sent me a voucher for a free $30 bet. Last time they sent me $60, I guess to reel me in. Since I bit, now I'm down to $30. I don't like the way this pattern is going. But I won my free $30 bet, so I made $30. Then I hightailed it out of there.That's gas money, mofo!
I have been thinking about giving up something for lent. Pop. I switched to diet pop a few years back when I first had high blood sugar. However, apparently even that is bad for you. It really makes me feel like I have very few options, especially when dining out. But usually tea will do the trick. Of course, if I get unsweetened and use Splenda or Equal, those are bad, too, but I can only tackle one issue at a time here.
Funny, I remember when I was in first grade, the teacher had us all say New Year's Resolutions aloud in class. Everyone was like, "I want to get better grades". I said I wanted to stop drinking so much pop. She thought that was funny. What's funny is that it's 30 years later and it's still my resolution!
I don't know if that's so much funny as it is sad. I'll stick by funny. :/
