Littletime

As I have been dubbed "Bigtime".... Phinneus has been tagged "Littletime"... I gotta kick outta that. See, Jonathan (Kev's brother) got a chance to meet our 'lil guy over at Chenoah & Kev's the other day & decided that's what he was gonna call him. So, let's see what's gone on since my last post...... Well, we went daycare shopping (actually Maggie & St. Amy went first & I went to the ones that they thought I should see). So it came down to two places. One was like the Cadillac of daycare places.... I mean it was nicer than our house.... But it cost a mortgage payment to send him there... The other was "nice", but it was a Buick to the first place's Cadillac.... So, due to finances being what they are... We went Buick.... I mean a Buick is a nice car,... Right?? After we decided that, we decided to take my mother up on her offer to watch the baby over night on this past friday. We were lucky enough to get a "free" room in Atlantic City... So down we went to that shiney jewel that we love so much! Checking in at the Showboat" around 9:30pm we only had enough energy left to go "gaming" for 'bout an hour... Then off to bed we went! That's what we do, hang out & take it easy when we get there. Then wake up early & hit the floor when all the dregs are sleepin' it off. We hit the floor late, around 8:30ish... the best time is from 5:30-8:00... it's empty & you have your pick of what ever "action" you fancy! It was still sparsely inhabited in the casino when we got down there. We hit Starbuck for some alto tall cinnamon skim latte alto drink... It was mighty good! We weren't "feeling" the Showboat, so we walked up to Bally's/Ceasers for a while... We love it up there, so much under one roof... You never have to go outside... you just enjoy the synthetic beach in Ceaser's "Pier" shopping area, or the "Tex-zona" feel of Bally's Wild West Casino... So much.. So Much... After holding our own we walked back to the Showboat, checked out & drove back to Ceasers for the rest of the day. See, that's how we do it.. We walk around alot & when we find where we wanna be, we go get the car & stay there... So, Maggie hit a machine for enough to cover our initial investment & still have enough left over for us both to play for the whole day! We used our "comp dollars" & enjoyed a "free" lunch!! Around 3:30 we called it quits & headed for home. We covered all costs with our winnings, so we put the money we took outta the bank back into the bank! Thank god for breaking even! Is it nice to come home w/ copious amounts of money? Hell yes! Is it still nice to come back not having spent a dime?? well, that's nice to!! The nicest part of the trip was spending some quality alone time with my beautiful bride! Yeah Babe! We picked the baby up at Chenoah's (she picked him up from my parents so they could head out to Long Island). Sunday I weny fishing w/ My dad, grandfather & my uncle out in Long Island. We did pretty good w/ the porgies. I cooked them up tonight, Vera Cruz style... The only problem w/ going to Long Island is the darn traffic coming home... My whole life we've been hitting biblical traffic jams... I mean something from Revolations.... Yesterdays mess was caused my some people who cracked up in the bronx & backed up the road all the way to queens... I's always the bronx that is the killer on the trip home..... I lost 45 minutes... But I Had the fish!
