Gallery Walk & More.....

Here I am with the great Zoltar. For a small fee, he will tell your fortune - I hear that all day. Friday night was great. We (Norman, Wes, Ricky & I) had dinner at Joses and it was super duper as always. I had lots of chips with white cheese dip, chicken flautas and a diet coke. Wes didn't join us for gallery walk, he went on home but it was great to visit with him. Norman, Ricky & I headed downtown where traffic was unbelievable - not only was it Gallery Walk night but they were also having a food festival of some type. We were lucky and found a great parking place right in front of Belle Arti. We walked on the Bath House side of Central all the way down to the end just before the Majestic. The weather was perfect by the way. We crossed the street and walked back down Central stopping here and there. We went into Romancing The Stone and I bought myself a bracelet and a Peace Sign necklace - I am all of the sudden really into "PEACE" sign stuff. We stopped in front of the store I work at so I could have my picture taken. Norman & Ricky met James who is the manager of the store and one of my bosses. We walked and looked some more and enjoyed the galleries. When we left downtown, I had a surprise for Ricky. I had (earlier in the day) printed out 3 coupons for $10 free play at Oaklawn so we went to the new casino. YAHOO, that was fun. Felt just like being in a (miniature) Vegas casino. We all signed up for our Winners Card and got our $10 dollar bill and had a ball. I only played with a ten dollar bill and I came home with ten dollars. I played the nickel slots and the quarter slots. I bought myself a drink (diet coke & Kahlua). We got home around 10:00 ish and because I had diet coke twice in one night, I did not sleep a wink. I knew better, but I had fun anyway. Looks like my schedule will be 9-2 on tue, wed, thu & fri and all day Sat and all day Sun for the duration of the summer. I will have Monday mornings off so that will be my "blog" time. Check back each week to see if I've managed to make it through the week. Right now my only complaint is my feet are killing me. Last week I got to work in Card Print instead of the hated and dreaded Book Print - now this is good news and bad news. The good news is that I love Card Print. The bad news is that I am on my feet about 80% of the night and after having been on my feet for 5 hours during the day................OUCHY. Gotta go - take care -
