Casinos, Coral, and Crack

This weekend found me bonding with my co-workers with a night on the town.  Bobby (our designated driver), Kim and I all met up at her house to get ready before making our way to the casino to try our luck on the slot machines.  Kim was kind enough to let me dig in her closet, filled to the brim with my style of clothes.  She let me borrow a coral pink tank and cardigan - loved it! 

At the casino, we all won some then lost some; after a few drinks, I talked Bobby into grabbing a quick dinner because Mr. Hangover was not gonna visit me!  Kim declined to eat so she was in rare form; unfortunately, I have no photos to prove her wild and crazy night.

As we ate dinner, we met up with some more of our co-workers then ventured on to a homegrown dive bar in Rochester.  It had a Western vibe along with a dance floor, karaoke host, and wood-fenced pool table.  And a lot of crack, if you know what I mean by the picture below.  I had switched to water but entertainment abounded at the bar.  Men getting testy over the pool table, some broad who had been kicked out continuing to come in, and even local cops stopped by to deal with the floozy.  From what I heard, it was the bars last night open so the locals were in rare form.

We made it back to Kim's about 2:00 am, a very long night.  I had an extra bedroom to myself, complete with a twin hideabed.  Popping two aspirin along with the a glass of water, I had a very restful sleep.

Saturday found me recuperating, going to see Side Effects with Jude Law and Rooney Mara (probably give it a B); now it's Sunday and I'm channel surfing between the Grammys and Top Chef.  I'm pretty sure Top Chef is winning!

As a follow up to my Friday weigh in, I only lost .60 pounds but at least it was a loss.  Kudos to my teammates Bobby, who lost 3, and Christine with a 1.50 lb loss.  After indulging all weekend, I'll be back on the calorie bandwagon come tomorrow.  I also picked up some 2 lb hand weights to carry during my daily walks so I'm pumped about burning off those drinks I sipped Friday night.
