April 25, 2010: Casino


Justin, Mom, and I went to the casiono today, MGM Grand. This is Mom's and my third time to go. Justin didn't spend any money. Mom lost about $300 over the three visits, and I made about $300.

April 24, 2010: Addicted to Computer


I am addicted to my computer and can't even wait to put my clothes on before checking my e-mail. My mom snuck this picture after I got out of the shower.

April 23, 2010: Coach Purse Lady


Today we went to a neighborhood garage sale. Mom bought all the Coach purses in sight (in addition to the ones she already bought this week at Value World).

April 22, 2010: Too Much to Ship!


Here is Mom packing one of FIVE huge boxes she is going to Fed Ex to herself. Each box is full of things she is going to sell on eBay--all of which she purchased at Value World.

April 21, 2010: Casino Time


Mom loves playing slots at the casino. We went on Sunday after I picked her up from the airport, and both of us walked away with $150 more than we came in with. Today we went back, and we both lost. While Mom played slots (for part of the time), I read my book on saving money. Here I am with my book putting a $10 bill into the machine--talk about irony!

April 20, 2010: Overdue Pictures of Justin
















A couple of months ago, I took Justin on a surprise Saturday afternoon "date" to the local senior center where FLY meets. FLY is a local, non-profit organization that offers low-cost art activities for children. Justin helped kids make houses and cities out of cardboard boxes. One child, though, chose to make some sort of racetrack/obstacle course that Justin helped him with. Here are pictures of Justin working with this artistically-gifted student!

April 19, 2010: Mom at Value World


My mom is visiting for nine days. She is especially excited about shopping at Value World each day. These are her bags from day one at Value World.
