I was asked to update on my family.
Everyone is doing very well.
My mom is still working part time, and although she complains about it at times, I think she really likes it. She has her daughter...errrr....dog, Gizzmo who is the light of her life. I'm glad she has her. They play and walk and keep each other company. Mom was never an "animal" person, but when she got Gizz a few years back, that all changed.
Dad is doing well. He drives for an older couple that he drove for years ago when he worked for a limo company. He has driven exclusively for them for 4 or 5 years now. He also helps them around their home and takes care of other things.
My step-mom is as crazy as ever, in a very good way. She and dad are doing well and are enjoying his "semi" retired life. Her younger son is staying with them again healing from an infection, and although it's tough to have another person in the house again, I think she (they!) are glad to have him there.
My brother is still trucking it around the U.S. I get text messages from him almost daily telling me his whereabouts. He loves it most of the time, but gets homesick too.
My in-laws and step kids are all awesome. Alex is getting straight A's. Matt is going into Culinary Arts, and Chris is in High School and doing well also. We don't hear from him as much as we do the other two kids, but we also all know how crazy high school can be.
That's my family.

Let's Talk Turkey!
Today our office is having their annual Thanksgiving pot luck lunch. I made mashed potatoes. Mmmmm. Other foods include a salad, corn, bread, dessert, etc.
We're having a ham and a small turkey. Mmmm.
My mom flies in Thanksgiving day just before 8am. I'm looking forward to her visit. We are actually spending the actually TURKEY day at one of the Casino Families' homes. I'm excited about it. Mom has met most of them before and was glad to be invited over. :-)
On either Friday or Saturday after Thanksgiving, we will have my in-laws and Alex over for a big Turkey meal. This will be the first time my mom and my in-laws have met. I figure since the meeting with my Dad, brother and step-mom went ok, I shouldn't have much to fear over this one.
It's nice to have family over at the house. :-) (Speaking of which, my in-laws, Aunt-in-law and her son will all be over this weekend. They are taking us to see Blue Man Group on Sunday!!)

Hello hello!
Hi friends. I won't even go into how sorry I am for not posting, I know you're tired of hearing it....
Lots going on.
Last week I spent 3 hours at the airport. No, I wasn't traveling, I met Corey there for dinner. He had a layover so I went down there and had dinner with him. It was good. Caught up and reminisced. The usual.
Casinoing is picking back up again, that goodness. My croupier skills were getting a bit rusty, but it's like riding a bike, you just hop back on and it all comes back to you.
We have a bunch going on soon. Next week, my parents-in-law, two of my sisters-in-law and their husbands, will be coming over for dinner at our house. Sarah and Jim (live in NY) and Catherine and Oscar (live in Arizona) will be visiting the in-laws (in South Carolina) for a week or so. Since Sarah and Jim will be going back home during the week, they will come to our place for an evening. That weekend, we'll go to SC to stay the weekend with the parents, Catherine and Oscar. Should be a great weekend. :-)
At the end of October we normally camp out at the races for the weekend. This year, with PEM's job change we've had to cut back on the spending, so we decided to have a party at the house instead. My Dad, step-mom and brother will all be visiting for the weekend as well!!! So, we've invited a bunch of folks to come over to watch the race Sunday and meet my family. My in-laws will come that Friday or Saturday as well so that they can finally meet my family.
In November (on a Sunday), we are going to see Blue Man Group with my in-laws, and Paul's aunt and her son. They will be here performing (just about 15 mins from the house!) and we've talked for 2 years with Auntie about going to see them. Now is our chance!
The weekend after that is Thanksgiving. My mom is coming up! Yes, she has her tickets already and everything. My in-laws will come over that Friday or Saturday to meet her! I am working on getting the boys and Alex here for that weekend as well, but am not sure how much progress I'll make. I think we'll get Alex (unless they are going out of town), but the boys are much harder to schedule (imagine that...*pout*).
Other than that......we are working 4 nights next week casinoing. Like I said, it's picking up! I'm sure we'll work nearly every Friday and Saturday from now until the end of December, too (with the exception of actual holiday weekends and weekends that we BEG to have off).
*sigh*
I do love the paychecks. And I love keeping busy. Of course the best part is coming home, soaking in the hot tub, then curling up with PEM and the kitties in bed and relaxing together after the day is done.
