AND...they're off!

Mary Jo had won some tickets to a VIP seating area at the racetrack so she invited us last Saturday. It only consisted of a roped-off area with free food but we all had a blast. We pooled our money for betting and somehow I got put in charge of placing all bets and usually picking the horses too. No, I don’t have any inside knowledge of track betting. In fact, I have never bet on horses in my life. I guess they figured I do a lot of gambling anyways plus they were all too busy drinking and hanging out. I was betting race by race and we were on 2 tracks timed roughly 20 minutes apart so it was getting kind of exhausting running back and forth…guess that’s the real reason they put me in charge hehe. We must have been doing something right because we came out about $20 ahead when it was all said and done…”right” meaning letting Sky pick some horses based on ones he thought he had petted and stats figured by me. We all know when it comes to any form of gambling, I will figure it out pretty quick…then become addicted…sigh. Yes we have been back once since then. We were ahead slightly until I thought I had a good jockey/trainer combo on a semi-long shot that didn’t work out.

Our fridge decided to stop working 2 days ago. We noticed containers of ice cream turning into soup. We did save some frozen items by putting them in Mary Jo & Keith’s freezer. You could hear the compressor thingie trying to switch on then clicking off immediately. Not good. Our landlord has left all appliances up to us so we had to go searching. We ended up finding the best price on a nice side-by-side at a place Dementia had warned me about but we had to do it because they gave me credit for it and then some…I know, I thought maybe they mixed up my SS# with someone else too and yes, I eyed the beautiful digital SLR I have so desperately wanted for forever but that will have to wait. We have to pay off this fucking fridge first. Yay, another bill that we don’t need but we are living out of our cooler until it’s delivered.
