This thread can't leave the first page!! I just got back from Ruidoso, NM and had a great time. I found another slot machine that I enjoy--penny All That Glitters. I didn't even touch these in Vegas back in June, but they are really fun!

65 more days till I get to play Cashman and All That Glitters. OH, and Deal or No Deal!!!

Amy

You get paid on the 17th? Perfect. I get paid biweekly, which works out this year to the 10th and the 24th... The 10th is a rent check too, so I wont have any extra money at that point. Luckily, the 24th is the day we get home, so I will actually have some cash in the bank accountto start paying off the trip, unless of course.... we win big???

Good point about unplugging all the electronics, I read somewhere that they still use a lot of electricity when powered off, but still plugged in. I may just turn everything but the fridge off in the switchbox.

Oh nice.... I hit the "teens" over the weekend! I forgot about that milestone! Friday is the two week mark, next tuesday is the 10 day mark (My departure date makes its first appearance on the weather channel 10 day forecast), and then it is single digits from there..... so close!!!
