Atlantic City

Last weekend Jeremy and I went to Atlantic City with his parents. It was great to get out of town and spend some time with family- especially since we don't see them often enough. I played my first game of poker and thought I was going to have heart palpitations when I bet a hundred dollars on my first hand.

I started breaking out in hives.

No lie.

On my first hand I hit a straight. For those who don't know cards it was a

4,5,6.

I got paid $90.

Sweet deal.

My next hand was a flush of hearts.

I got paid more.

Awesome.

I'm not really sure how much of a fan of gambling I am, which kinda sucks because my husband's family LOVES to gamble and I desperately want to enjoy it like they do. I honestly feel like I'm going to crap my pants when I "give away" money. Especially with the economy like it is. Any body feel me? For example, I sat next to this guy who dropped $1500 in an hour. WTF? Who does that? So here is my question for you all. Gambling: Friend or Foe? If you can play cards smartly like my husband's family, and only spend a certain amount then I think you're fine. But dropping a few grand in one night is no bueno. Maybe I'm just being a "piano" as my husband called me, which I don't understand and probably don't want to. I'd rather be a piano and be able to pay my bills! The best part about it all is when you're walking around the casino there is a voice on the loud speaker that says... "Gambling problem? Call 1-800- 522-4700. LOL
