Never fails . . . .

Hubby and I went to visit the Indians this weekend....yes...we went to Chinook Winds casino. We are celebrating our 31st anniversary and courtesy of a very nice boss I have, spent the night at the Resort next to the casino. So we wandered over after checking in at the hotel..to try our luck. We are not big spenders by any means. We are your basic penny, nickel and sometimes quarter machine people. When we enter the casino we separate..it's all part of the strategy. Neither one of us wants to bring bad luck to the other, by sitting next to, or hovering over the other (I know it's weird, but hey, it works sometimes). We have new numbers to try this time for KENO...we try new grandson's birthday and our years of marriage...it didn't win us a jackpot, but we broke even. So I get seated at a machine that looks lucky...I start playing away..thinking I'm hot stuff because I have hit a few bonuses and BANG..the gal next to me hits a BIG jackpot....security comes, some head honcho from the casino comes, she signs papers... all the while I smile at her, but am truly steaming inside, "why couldn't that have been me????"...so I continue to play....bells and whistles go off again!!! the same lady hits ANOTHER jackpot on the same machine...arrrghhhhh!!! more security, more papers signed...I DON"T smile this time.....I decide I need to move to another machine...then my luck will get better....yes..it has to get better!!
