I got a chance to see what the bridesmaid dresses are going to look like and Gretchen told me she has chosen her dress (not the date or location but the dress) all the while wondering why no one else noticed that my best friend had turned into a headless chicken. My Mom Matt and I stayed for a few hours and then took advantage of being near several Indian reservations and stopped at a casino to do a little gambling. Mom and I ended up losing all our money while Matt cleaned up, doubling his. Of course I gave him several suggestions on things he could buy with the money, all of which were for me, but it looks like he is going to fill a life long dream and buy a Fooze Ball table. He did entertain other ideas for a while and let me take this moment to give a little advice to any men who might be reading this: Do not mention anything about a jewelry store to your girlfriend of over a year if you are not prepared to see it through. Just avoid the subject all together, for your own safety. Matt brought up the jewlery store idea in relation to his recent winnings while we were shopping the next day and then kind of forgot about it. He then had to play twenty questions with me to find out why I was so disappointed looking later that evening. I finally told him and he said that I never pointed out a jewelry store to him that I wanted to go into so he let the idea go * sigh * what, did he think I wasn�t interested because I didn�t immediately lead him to Tiffany�s after he asked about jewelry stores in the area?

Ah well, it is his money and he can do what ever he likes with it. Perhaps he will feel sorry for me though and buy me something pretty when he sees my trying to balance the Fooze Ball table on my finger.
