So I got back from a Reno/Lake Tahoe gambling/snowboarding trip to help celebrate my cousin's birthday yesterday. It was a lot of fun hanging out with cousins and all that stuff. But I just gotta say that the Blackjack gods must hate me. Or I'm just an idiot and don't know when I should leave a table. In any case, I lost.



But in other news, other people in our party enjoyed good winnings. We weren't even checked into our hotel rooms yet when my mom hit a slot machine and won $1000. Another aunt won a couple hundred on slots, too. And so did another cousin of mine. But the big winner was another aunt on our last day there.



When I woke up I was told she won $1200. So I was like, "Whoa, cool. $1200 is a good amount. I wish I won that much money." Then later I'm told she didn't win $1200. She won $12,000. Now that's a pretty good amount, too. I should play slots more often. It turns out this is her second big winning off of slots in the last month or so. A couple weeks ago she won $4500. When I played the slots before we left, I won $3.50. Then I lost it trying to make it into more. Haha. Ah well. There's always next time I guess.
