beppi

our house is so hot.
HOW HOT IS IT?
it's so hot that we sleep in summer pjs, with no blankets and the window open.
it's unplesantly hot. i'm looking forward to having control over our heating in the new place.

yesterday, on november 6, to celebrate the three year anniversary of my black star tattoo, shanno and i made our yearly trek to exotic gananoque. while there we drank free beverages (coca-cola for me, pure cream for her), spent 15-20 minutes at the 2¢ slots before the house had bled us dry of our small bills. we people watched a while longer than piled back into the car. it's a delightful tradition. i like that admission and drinks are free. i probably wouldn't like going if they charged us for those things. the culture of the casino is unlike anything else. i wish i could talk to the patrons and find out why they're there and how often they go. it's not glamourous at all, so it's not for the setting. while there i was reminded of the high number of canadians who don't have a retirement plan but rather expect to win the lottery. so many people looking to get rich quick. it's ironic that they'd be sooner rich if they stopped wasting their money. i've always thought that not spending money is the fastest way to have more money.

before heading down the highway we attended at pampered chef party. one of the other party goers seemed stunned that we were going to go to the casino that night while still planning on going to work the next day. i can't imagine what she thought we were going to do there.
 
when there's a burning in your heart,
don't be alarmed.
