Valentine’s Day part 1 :)

Kawanee Hamilton

So, instead of just being bummed about being without hubby for Valentine’s Day, I treated myself to a night out. My childhood and best friend Donna and I went to the casino. It’s about 2 hrs away, she won some free stuff… including a free buffet for two.

The first machine I was on, I put in $5 and won $39. I was pretty happy about that and cashed out. The very next machine I got on, I put a $10 bill in. I bet twice and hit a bonus round, I was super excited about it because I figured I’m at least getting my $2.00 back. Yay me, but…. the bonus kept coming and by the time it was all over… I had won $217 (I think) coupled with the previous win… was over $250!

WOOT!!!

I thought… it’s time to take a break and we were hungry so we went to the buffet. They had prime rib, grilled steak, a killer salad bar and a dessert section. Oh my goodness, it was so good! I didn’t get the prime rib the line was too long, but I did get some steak and a salad and strawberry cheesecake. Again… WOOT!!

We went back to the casino floor and stuck around for a little bit more, then headed over to the other casino. We both had some free play money there so we cashed those in and I hit for another $130! I was having a great time, and we stayed there until like 1 am and had to drive back. I also had free food credit at that casino, so I got a roast beef sub and a chocolate chip cookie and some chips to take home with me.

We had a blast! It was much better than sitting at home feeling sorry for myself. 🙂

After losing some, giving Donna gas money and giving my mom some money I walked out of the casino $450 to the good. 🙂

And the fun didn’t stop there! I’ll post the rest of it and some pictures tomorrow I think.

So, to recap… I showed myself a good time out on the town, hung out with a really great friend and had some really good food and it didn’t cost me nothing! 🙂  In fact, they paid ME to have a good time. Can’t beat that with a stick!

Kawanee was born in Alexandria Louisiana but her first real memories are of Russellville Arkansas. She's always loved to read, and has always had an vivid imagination. She grew up in a house where almost everyone read, they didn't need a TV although she could still be found planted on her butt in front of her grandma's TV watching cartoons on Saturday mornings. She made up her first story with her mother when her cat died; it was about where pets go when they die. She continued to create stories from bad dreams she had and her dad would help her change nightmares to stories. They would sit up in a chair until the scary went away. He told her that: "Dreams, good or bad, are just stories your mind makes up. You are the author of your dreams; if you don't like them rewrite them. " She was hooked and has continued to read and write stories drawing from dreams, sights and just pure imagination. She just recently decided she'd like to try and get published and fail than wonder what if. Her story continues but where it goes from here is up to you, the Reader... She hopes you'll join her in finding out where her journey goes from here!
