The Rock Star is back!!

Two of my girlfriends and I went to Belltara Casino & Spa this weekend and had a great time!

We arrived at the resort at 1:00 in the afternoon, checked in and headed right for the casino. My friend Andrea is a single mom so Kathy and I were initially on the hunt for cute boys at the black jack tables. No such luck during lunch time at a casino in the middle of nowhere!!

We decided on a $5 table as Kathy has never played black jack. Our dealer, Louie, was a huge jackass. I made a mistake early on and the dude never let up. So my plain was to have fun with my friends and the other players and be as obnoxious as possible. My plan worked and Louie took his break........Bob was an awesome dealer and I proceeded to win $100.00!!

Soon it was spa and massage time and we headed off for the much needed relaxation. I got an upper body massage and petticure. It was heaven and I plan on making this a habit at least once a year! All three of us really enjoyed it and plan on returning.

We only had a so so and dinner and were starved after the spa and vodka in our room. Once we were refreshed the casino and cute boys (for Andrea mind you) were calling us! All in all the gambling for me was fun and I only lost about $25.

I feel like I am getting back to my old self and feeling very happy at the moment. The cycle of the Rock Star will continue, well at least once a year!

Back to work!!

I am back to work this week. I must say I have a much better attitude and am enjoying going into a non-stressful environment. The ladies I am working with seem to be a good bunch and the woman who is training is a doll. I am still trying to get a handle on personalities so I will reserve judgement on some I have met.

I am currenlty working in our biggest branch office while my branch is being built out to custom. I honestly knew this was the field I was cut out to be in and am anxious to get started. While I am tired and the drive at the moment sucks, being back at a job really makes me feel good. I don't ever think I could just not work unless I had actual babies at home.

We took a family vacation to Georgia and Florida over Spring Break. We left the night of my Granny's funeral. Seemed everyone in my family had vacations and Spring Break at that time. The funeral was sad but was an opportunity to lay her to rest and see our family. My mom is renovating the farm house so that is taking up her time. But I worry about her health now too. Lots of life changes, but I feel good.

I keep saying I am going to keep up more, post more, read more. I have been spending less time on the computer though and I think I am the better for it. I really wish I could meet lots of you, and plan on going to Niagra Falls if at all possible.

Smooches, hugs and huge thanks to all that gave me sympathy about my grandmother.
