Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

I'm really not a big gambler but after last night I might become one!! (The Island is calling...) The Eids invited us to join them for an overnight at TI. We wanted to have one final night just the 4 of us before Brent leaves for Oklahoma. I thought most of my time would be spent in the hot tub or watching the guys play Black Jack until I was introduced to Pai Gow... They were doing $200 drawings every hour and if you were sitting at a table you qualified for the drawing. Within 45 minutes of me sitting there my name was drawn and I won!! I couldn't believe it. I never win anything. I happily took by $200 and told Justin to pocket it and not to spend - we had shopping to do the next day. Later on the night we went back to the Pai Gow tables and I went on a winning steak. I was up $100 by the time we finally left. This may not seem like a lot to those who gamble but to me it was tons!! Who knew gambling could be so fun? :) And at such a perfect time to hit up all those after Xmas day sales!

My winnings.

Nice work Kristen! Now the real question is was it enough to out-weigh the hubby's net return? If you're up for another trip to TI or Mystic Lake sometime just let me know, I'm in!

Yay for casino winnings! We were there one day before you - we went on Christmas evening. No winnings for me!

Pai gow is great. Normally people just break even. Although its enough to satisy your gambling hunger and not lose $20 bucks within the first 10 minutes. I knew you wouild win, thats why i said it on your facebook! :P
