Just a few things

We finally got a couple of the windows we ordered a while back put in.  The one in the living room has made such a big difference.  I never realized that I was squinting to look out of them.  It reminded me of the windex commercial where the birds fly into the windows because they are so clean....I even stood there for a minute just taking in the view.
Ok so onto other things.....I finally just got off the phone with someone from the college about my class I dropped for the summer that never actually got dropped and now shows up as an F.....she actually did find the fax and is going to take care of it for me!!  Thank the Lord for even the tiniest of favors!  I wasn't really stressing over it surprisingly.....but it was frustrating considering I've put school off for so long for the fear of failure and I just get failed without even doing it myself.  I mean come on if I'm going to fail at least give me the honors of doing it myself!!  That's just like going into the casino on the cruise we took in May, I put a $5 in the machine and next thing I new it said I lost.....What??  Like how do you you lose when you never played?  Well apparently I don't need to do anything I just walk past the machines and it sucks money straight from my cheap little purse!!  Then you have my 18 year old son who walks in and puts up a $20 and wins $900.....SERIOUSLY!!!  Like Pappa Georgio on Vegas Vacation and I'm Clark.....He wins 4 cars and I get hijacked!!  I guess that's why I don't go to the casino on a regular basis....I would rather walk into the mall or something and have something to show for it if I'm gonna give away my money. 
I know this might ruffle some feathers of my fellow church friends, but please tell me the difference in playing at the casino and walking into a Chucky Cheese or something similar?  Isn't that basically a casino for kids?  I mean really....you get the crappy little tickets that you exchange for the crappy little toys that your kid doesn't really want or understand why his/her ticket won't buy the big stuffed animal!  I just really don't see the difference....either way you walk out empty handed most of the time.....every now and then you just might hit it BIG!!!
