Happy St. Patrick's Day

[cornerofmadness]

I had a good time at the casino last night. They gave the food a St Paddy's Day twist. there were the usual huge shrimp, irish cheeses, bangers and colcannon in a blanket, some kind of crab and cabbage crosti, fingerling potato salad, beef brisket, creme de menthe cream puffs, lady locks, cream tarts and more. the free pina colada's were great (since it has crap beer) I didn't win much but I played for 2 hours on my original 20 and still come out ahead. If you've ever played slots you know that's pretty damn good. I was nearly run down by Earlene when they called her name for the instant 250$ prize. No I don't know Earlene but boy was she excited.

today we went shopping. I love Macy's when it has a sale. got a lucky brand purse for 22$ usually that brand has a zero after those numbers... Got a yellow shirt that I will have to make sure evil_little_dog doesn't walk off with and have tailored down to fit a leprachaun. Famous Footwear had shoes in 2A width. YAY. Finally some place with non-wide shoes. Bought three pair.

I am however, getting more and more upset with the book retailers and their shrinking selections. No wonder amazon is putting them out of business. Half of what I wanted from Borders wasn't there. I'll have to get it on line. And oh those history books I've been eyeing so I can work on my historical...yeah, they're IMAGE books. A collection of old photographs are nice but they're not what I need. Sigh.

I'm dreadfully behind on my writing so I'm getting back to it. Sigh.
