Day 2.5, and the slide has begun

Yes, this is day 2-1/2 of our month sans children, and our slow slide into debauchery has begun.

Well, maybe not too slow. We dropped the kids off at grandma's house on Monday afternoon, then went to run an errand in Roseville before we went home. By the time we were done, dinner was called for, so we decided to try something new, and headed for the Thunder Valley Casino in Lincoln. Casino buffets are wonderful things, you know. The fact that we got free slot play money by joining the players club was just a bonus. See, you have to join the club before you go to the buffet - you save $5 per person off your dinner if you do, making it only $9.95, which is the deal of the century. Thunder Valley, unlike all the other indian casinos we've been to, is so giant and gorgeous, it looks like you're in Tahoe, and the buffet meets that standard too. I mean, WOW buffet. So, anyway, we were bad, and we didn't get home until almost 11 pm.

Oops.

There was much puppy apologizing to be done.

Last night, we had a proper grownup dinner, all by ourselves and behaved. Tonight, we've started moving into our normal summer routine of sitting around the living room and only bothering to eat when we feel like it, which might mean never, or might mean we eat fast food at the coffee table. Who knows. I should probably consume something vaguely dinner-like.

So, anyway, the kids are safely in New Jersey for their month, and we get to goof off like newlyweds again, aside from all the Social Security paperwork we need to work on. The goal is to get that done as soon as humanly possible, so that we can get to the goofing!

All is well, with us, puppies, kitties, birdies, fishies, and way-far-away kiddies. Thanks for checking. :-)
