Today was hard and boring I just cannot wait til the weekend music fun and rain.  They say its going to rain all this weekend for labor day and we need it but Its end of summer and our last chance to really live it up before all work starts again.  I worked today and watched the price is right again but today I watched more TV than usual I also watched CSI Las Vegas and Betty la Fea with my parents.  I went for a short walk with the dog and enjoyed a good cup of tea.

I broke my promise today and went to the Casino because they were giving a clock with an alarm and I just had to get it, I went with my brother and sister in law and had a great short time at the casino. I won 50 dollars and got a free clock. My brother and his wife got free clocks but did not win any money. Its OK because the did not spend any of their own cash.  Now I can change the oil on my car and look for a tire.  I can only afford one thing, so the oil change is first.  I will see how long I can go with out getting a flat.  I was happy today, I talked to my daughter and her cousin. Cannot wait til I go see my daughter this weekend.  Its my birthday and I am going to celebrate it with her. Yea!   Well bye for now looking for friends today be my friend or else I will not be yours anyway.
