Long time no Blog!

It has been a while since I have put pen to paper....er...fingered my keyboard....ummmm....blogged! Yeah that's it! But it is what it is and I swear I will try to start back up again. I am just being a lazy shit and I hate that I have not been blogging more. There have been soo many things I wished I had blogged about and now I feel like I have to back track a bit. So let me start off my blogging resolution with our most recent adventure that went down this weekend:

TRIP TO ATLANTIC CITY 2010!



We took a little bus trip with the wife's co-workers. It is not a work sponsored trip so some of the controls that would go along with a work function were turned off.....so that means no nasty emails from HR come Monday morning if you were the designated lush for the night lol.

We had made plans with our friends Pete and Monica to stay the night so we did not have to rush or worry about catching the bus back. Monica ended up getting her room for free due to her frequent loser miles she had on her casino card.



We started at the Showboat but only stayed there for a second, then we went on our way to the Trump Plaza where our room was waiting. It was a bit of a walk from the Show Boat to the Trump Plaza, and the wife wore heels which was to be her down fall later.



We started gambling once we got all situated in the Plaza, Pete took me to the craps table to learn me some new ways to loose my money; Monica and Lilian went to collect a free food processor they had won and then off to the slots. The wife unit ended up loosing all her money but I did pretty good on the three card poker table. I started with $100 ended up winning that back and then some. I wanted to play so I put the 100 in my pocket and played with my winnings. Once my winnings were all gone I got up and left the table. We played for about an hour and had fun. I did not blow my load all at once and even walked away with what I started with haha! Don't let the house beat you on all levels, yes I did not walk away with anything extra but I also did not spend anymore than what I came down with.



After that it was off to eat myself stupid and walk the boardwalk. Now as I mentioned the wife wore heels.....but changed to flats when we got to the room. And after all the walking we did that night she ended up hurting her left foot. But we still had fun.



1) Gee Walley do you think that is a casino?


2) Taking a break in the room before going back out for more fun.


3) Once you have been there once you have been there a thousand times.


4) Wife texting and taking touristy pictures. I love being a tourist!


5) Man....I mean woman down.....



As I mentioned before this was not a 'work function' so some people took the liberty to just let it all hang out, of which some ended up all over the floor of a night club in one of the casinos. And if you saw what they were drinking on the bus it would have come to no surprise the light weights would be down for the count by the end of the night.

I dont know her name but she will never live down this night as long as she works with these people. And thanks to some emailed photos they have proof lol.



6) 'Dear God, if you make the room stop spinning I swear i will never drink that much again.....and one more thing can you please tell me why my pillow smells funny?'


I took this picture of the Madison Hotel because it reminded me of something out of a horror movie. As it turns out it has been closed for sometime and there is little hope it will open again. I now have the urge to get in there and rome around. It must be eerie at night with no lights on. Hell turn it into a haunted house ride! 14 stories of terror, only at Alantic City!



7) The Madison House Hotel



8) And here I was trying to get a shot of the carpet but some floozies got my my shot!



Over all we had a great trip, ate toooo much did not spend a whole lot of money and even had some fun alone time.....did I mention it was a kid free weekend?!?!

Labor day Weekend.....

For the last hurrah for the summer so we all decided to go to Seaside Heights, NJ. It was to be the last party of the summer, so to do it right I thought I would go down a list of things that needed to be done. Number one on the list of things to do was to clean out the fridge of all summer booze. For the past month I have really let it all hang out and now once again it is time to tighten up the old belt. School is in session, started last Thursday, so have to keep the old thinker clear. So what better way to get rid of it thank pouring down the old pie whole?

Boone's Farm slushy an one? Not bad but one draw back to frozen drinks.....brain freeze!



I also had a lone soldier in the frig, and cannt leave a man to stand alone for the long months to come. I joined him up with a few buds on a 'Goodbye to Summer' tour! All hail Sailor Jerry!


That was Saturday night, then Sunday we got all packed up along with our neighbors Pete and Monica and headed to the shore. Here we have them getting some typical Jersey shore nummies! And yes if you come down to Guido-ville Heights this is a must stop!


We did anticipate the cold but where in a rude awaking at how cold it really was! We ended up buying a few articles of clothing to help ward off the chill. The ocean how ever was a no go, due to the dangerous undertow we have been having. Last week a 16 year old kid, who was in waist deep water got dragged out by the undertow and drown. So needless to say there was to be no swimming even if you were brave enough to go in the ice cold waters.

One of my favorite things to do while on outings is take pictures, as one might guess. And anytime you go to this boardwalk you have to get a shot of this guy:

And you also have to keep your camera handy for priceless shots like this:

And this:

(Gives a whole new meaning to wind between my wings....or is that beneath my wings.....)

There were a couple of really cool high flying rides on the piers. But they wanted $20 a ride! Screw you with something hard and sandpapery! I am all for thrill rides but not if I have to cough of 20 smackers for one ride! I thought they would have had an end of summer deal, but no dice!

People watching is so much more entertaining when you have a camera on hand. I sure hope he isnt going commando under his turban turned dress.....

Here we have a wonderful family shot of the wife unit and Seth....Arrggghhhh Me wants some bootie!

Arrrrrgggghhhh wait me change me mind!

Same shot, whole new look! Here we have Pete being Pete.....I sure hope that peg leg of his was well sanded!

The whole clan here trying so hard to win something. After all was said and done only one person won, a huge bag of Sour Patch Kids....oh boy SUGARonSUGAR!

One fun aspect of the Jersey shore in the level of corniness you will find. And often times it is worn loud and proud on tourist. Just take a look at out our little guido friend's sweat shirt. If you cannt read it, its says:

'Everyone Loves an Italian Girl'

Wow, really man are you that whipped?


Find Waldo.....I mean me.....find me....

Love comes in all shapes and sizes. They were a cute couple and you could tell he loved every inch of her.


But on the other had this would be toooo much for me. Ever heard of the old expression, 'Dont bite off more than you can chew'? Well here might be part of where it came from.......


Every so often I come across a real vintage board walk money scam. Here we have one of the earliest coin hustlers from back in the day. You put money in, squeeze and it lights up. You dont have to steal people's money, just add some lights, a few funny sayings and people will gladly give it away. But I must say I do love this old gimmicks, its like a look back in time when smoking was considered sexy and when saying 'Hun you were a little hard on the Beaver last night.' Was not as dirty as one would think.....and if you get that joke you are cool in my book, now buy me a beer.


Lucas loves the lights, the wheels and the fact you put in coins(credits) and you get to mash buttons. Slowly but surely he is being groomed to love the casinos......and if you believe that smoking is a starter drug not weed.....hahahahaha

One must be ready at all time to snap that picture worth sharing with everyone. And here is one, notice the difference with Miss Modesty with Miss Booty. Did I mention it was cold that day?


But, in all the main reason for me taking my camera was to catch gems like this that will forever capture my heart:

And Lucas just being Lucas.....these are the pictures i will look back years from now to remember them as little ones.....and to know that I am sooooo glad they are grown and out of the house!

Having a sack on your chin is often looked down upon in college terms but in kid terms its all about the sack on the chin!

We did win a few items for those horrible crane games that make you insane enough to keep putting money in until it fucking gives you that stuffed animal that cost .99cents but just ran you $5 to get it out. But once you got it, its yours to molest and fondle......here take a look at the proper way to use your hard earned bootie:

I was unaware that playing poker was all that stressful, but maybe she plays a real no holes bard Poke-Her I am not familiar with. What ever the case she was too pooped to poop.

And surprisingly she was the only one that slept on the way back. But a good time was had by all and we will probably be going back to the beach this fall and winter. They have some great deals on games for the kids and it sure as hell beats the pants off of Chucky Cheese any day!

PSS....

Lucas's Birthday was yesterday he is now 3! God give me patience....lots and lots of it!
