This weekend was our annual night swap at the casino with Jenny and Rick. Every year there is a state meeting for podiatry held at a casino here in town so we have been using that as an excuse to have a night out. Jenny and Rick get the 1st night and then we take the 2nd. So, we had Caden and Noah over on Friday and got to have some fun and we took a couple of pictures- which I posted on my facebook page. Then it was my turn to go and Jenny and Ricks to watch the kids.
I started the day off with a massage that was totally worth the money. I love getting a massage from someone that actually understands muscles and how to work with them. The only bummer was that I totally ruined the massage because I decided to bring a tote bag, instead of a rolling suitcase, full of all my crap and it is a very long walk from the car to the room and then I was locked out of the room (long story). Then I was supposed to have a nice dinner with Nate but a vendor from CA wanted to take us to dinner. I really had to dig deep and buck up because that absolutely did not sound like a fun night to me so, after my dramatic performance we met up with our party and headed out to what ended up being a fun dinner. For the record and confessional purposes, most everything I do I have to be talked into. Sometimes I really don't know what my problem is especially when I usually end up having a good time once I'm there. It is the getting there that is hard I guess and the fact that I pretty much suck at small talk that gets me all worked up.
When we arrived back at the hotel my true inner snob (not so inner sometimes) emerges or if your counting the earlier events as snobby, reemerges. :) we decided to rent a movie. I just really had wished I was at home in my nice cozy theater watching my nice big tv with the ability to pause the movie on my really yummy reclining seats with some snacks and a comfy bed to crawl into later. As I began to slowly look around and asses my complaints of the night I started to realize that my house was nicer and more comfortable than this hotel room. What is truly sad about this is that only a couple of years ago I would have thought that this hotel room with the separate shower and tub and the nice sized lcd tv screen and the nice furniture was so fancy and awesome and now it just left me longing for home! I guess now that my kids are older and Emma is babysitting I don't feel the need to spend a night away as much. Now going out of town is a whole other deal, but I could have been just as happy going out and then coming back home and I guess what I'm try to say is that I truly feel blessed that I have a home that I love so much. It is funny how life and expectations change through the years. So, maybe, I just might be a snob after all. Major bummer, I don't want to be... so, I formally apologize to all those who have to put up with me and my snobby ways. :)

Aren't we all snobs about something or other? We love you, Heath, snobbishness and all. I'm not sure you could call it snobbishness if you're aware of it, anyway. I mean, technically being truly snobby would mean you HAVE to have all the nicest things, look down on the "less" nice things and not even realize you're doing it. Even worse, forget that MOST of the world lives that way and believe that your way is the ONLY way. So, looking at the definition that way...you wouldn't be a snob at all, right? Right. :-)
