I think I just attended a master class in getting played. If what I think happened just happened, Kaiser Soze's got nothing on my paralegal.

The ONE thing that my husband wanted for his birthday (tomorrow) was for us to take advantage of some free** hotel stay vouchers tonight at the casino in Cherokee, NC. No gifts, no fancy dinners, no cards required. Just a fun night at the casino (read: he plays poker for 13 hours while I watch trash TV in the hotel after blowing my slots budget in 17 minutes).

So, not really knowing until late Friday whether his birthday dinner at the hoarders' house was last night or tonight, I hadn't done anything about booking the hotel until today. Earlier, I drove over to the rental house where he's sheetrocking a ceiling (horrible, horrible work) and he was super excited about stopping work at noon and heading to NC.

I called the hotel around 11:30 this morning and all 1,108 rooms at the hotel are sold out.

I feel like such a jerk.

** These vouchers are not actually free, as they are sent to me every couple of weeks, and Harrah's has no doubt that they will recoup the money with my slots performance.

Be willing to bet that all the rooms aren't sold out, only all of the comp'd rooms have been allocated.I'd recommend calling back and seeing if they have any openings if you paidThen ask if they could give you casino rate.Not sure what your play/rewards level is but there are always rooms available.Worst case.....are there any hotels off property? Take a cab? g'luck and happy birthday Mr. YSR :banned:

I actually did call back and pretend to be a paying customer and still didn't get very far. I went ahead and made a reservation for Tuesday night. I looked into other hotels in the area, but Mr. YSR nixed the idea in favor of using the free hotel stay voucher, and said it was no big deal to move it to Tuesday night. He's so darn laid back and patient with me, it's unreal. Anyway, to your last point, in making my Tuesday night reservation, I mentioned that he was a rewards member as well. Because he only plays poker, his points level isn't as high as mine, but the rep told me to put any food/drinks on his account to get his level up... which would help in getting reservations in the future (wink, wink).

I was freaking shimalantered last night. I stumbled upon something called "Inspirational Ministries" on TV and the guy was asking people to send in $1,000 to do the lord's work. I called and pretended to be an old lady for about 45 seconds before screaming into the phone like a lunatic. I woke up everybody in the house. My wife made me go to bed. :lmao:

:lmao: Brilliant! I hung out at a house with my twenty something cousins and a bunch of their friends until 10:30 or so when they decided it was time to go out on the town and I decided it was time to go home, have another beer and go to bed.

So you guys probably don't know this but Florida has a lot of fresh seafood you can buy and cook and stuff. So the other night my parents picked up some fresh shrimp and grouper and told me to make it for them because they know I like to try to be a cook and they are good at beef stew and casseroles and stuff. So I made chili-lime shrimp and almond-crusted grouper. Oh my god. So amazing. My dad has talked about the meal twice today and my mom told me when she woke up in the middle of the night she found herself thinking about the meal. I'm awesome.

so tomorrow they're going to get shrimp again and sea bass. Going to go with a garlic shrimp and a spice rubbed sea bass with a lemon butter sauce. I'm hungr.y

Good stuff, Frost. I love cooking fresh seafood. Cannot beat it, IMO.An easy easy easy fun shrimp dish:

Leave 'em peeled. Pour two beers into a sauce pan. Add a bunch of Tony's, some garlic if you like. Bring a boil. Add in the shrimp. Bring it back to a boil. Shut it off, cover for another minute. Total cook time is like 3-5 minutes tops. Don't over cook it.

Huge crowd pleaser and so simple to make. :thumbup:

I really should have gone grocery shopping instead of drinking beer and watching basketball all day.

Looks like popcorn for dinner :popcorn:

Trying to get through the next 30 days with these guidelines:

[1] No booze;

[ii] No smokes;

[c] No going to bars;

[-] No twentysomethings;

[*]4 days of exercise a week.

I think my body is going to go into shock. There's also the possibility I'll bore myself to death. Flying HJS in to knock some sense into me is an option as well.

Was heading to the gym, but got a call from one of the wimmens. Blew off going, drinking a rum and coke and just smoked a cigarette while she makes me dinner.Lasted 3 days.

My hero. :wub:
 
I met Paris Hilton at a concert before she got all famous. She was dating the lead singer of Sum41 at the time and she was buying a corn dog.

 
About 15 years ago, my old man was drinking at a random bar in Mexico. He was sitting at a bar and this grey-hair sits next to him. After about 2 hours of bull####ting the guy finally asked "Do you know who I am?"

My dad said "Yeah, your Bill Parcells, right?"

Parcells was so impressed that a gringo didn't freak out right away that he ended up paying for my parents entire weekend. I think they ended up saving like 2 grand.

 
I don't know where the brush-with-greatness shtick came from, but I got smashed in the lobby of the Four Seasons in San Antonio with three-fifths of Judas Priest.

 
My brother went to high school with Edwin McCain.

Edwin's dad was my pediatrician until I was 26. :bag:
