Hey let's put our money in this fire!

This was the husband's birthday weekend. I wanted to make it special, so I asked my mom to come down and babysit for a night. This was the plan: dinner, movie, and CASINO. Why not?! Never been to one before and in our lives it seems better to have a plan, since we rarely go out alone. Honestly it felt like high school all over again. Sadie Hawkins dance over here.

My mom is awesome and brought some Waukesha only made ponza rotti's so there was no need for dinner. So onto our next adventure....movie.

Oooh the Great and Powerful OZ!
It was actually pretty good. We heard some bad reviews about it but f em. Personally I was entertained. Minus the fact that James Franco just seemed to be the odd element and not in "OZ" kinda way. My husband mentioned that Michelle Williams looks much better with long hair then her usual pixie hair...I only mention this cause it's strange he says that. He likes pixie short hair.

Regardless what people say, I give it a thumbs up.

Onto our next adventure....CASINO!

Holy freaking shit. We walked in without any knowledge of what to expect.
 
I felt like a kid in a candy store. In the sense of amazement. Like whoa, what to do, where to start!? We stopped a worker there and just asked questions. Ok not me, I'm like a man and don't ask for directions or anything, my husband on the other hand will ask for info.
 
We wandered around. Found the beer stand (of course). Even THAT was amazing! Regular cups but with magnetics on the bottom of em. They fill the beer from the bottom. AMAZING!
 
We stopped at the roulette table to watch....whoa. Again my husband asked this old man next to us what the hell was going on. This guy was incredible.
 
Quotes that we can remember:
 
"You have to be schizophrenic to play this game"
"Worst odds in the house"
"I've made thousands and lost it all in the next deal"
"If you come with $50 and get it back, put it right back in your pocket cause anything you win wouldn't matter"
 
May not sound epic, but that guy knew what he was talking about. He seemed schizo himself.
 
So we walked around for a while, looking and studying what the hell was going on.
 
Time for a game plan:
My plan: Go to 2 cent machines and have fun.
 
Husbands plan: get a mojo for either roulette or blackjack table.
 
My plan went off with a hitch. First freaking time I made $20 outta a buck. Doesn't seem like much, but goddamn I was freaking excited over it. I didn't want to push my luck...yet.
 
Husband didn't get as much luck getting into a table. He just wasn't feeling it. (This guy has, what I think, the best luck when it comes to feel and mojo) He didn't do much minus watch me be an idiot.
 
I got obsessed with the machine I won...so much I started stalking it. Two ladies won over $50! If only I stayed. After I finally got on it again, it was a total fail. OBVIOUSLY. They got the big pots out. Unfortunately I'm a sucker and kepted going back. I won again $30 at one point.
 
So the husband finally gave in and got freaking $50! Yea ok I was a little upset but hey it was good. He got the luck.
 
Conclusion to this long adventure:
 
I won over $60, that I ended up being greedy over and lost all. Which is fine. I'm not mad. That's what I expected to spend.
 
It was the most exciting adventure that we have had in a looooong time. Amazing balls! Don't have the addiction, but will definitely try to go again.
 
But as long as the birthday boy got some loot, that's all that matters!

    1. Will definitely give you a call! Those 2cent machines are the devil! Hahaha! Yea I don't know why franco was oz...something about him was just not right. Not knowing anything about the first part of oz, I still think it's amazing. Thanks, Matt definitely (better have!) had fun!
