Hello everyone! Well I had an awesome time in Tunica! I won $1200! whoo hoo! I played craps most of the time and tested my luck on a few slots (won 100 on one!) We got deep tissue massages on Friday morning and I got a manicure on Saturday while Brandi and her sister got blowouts. We also stayed in the presidential suite and ate lots of yummy food! At the Harrahs casino they have a Paula Deen Buffet! Talk about southern food heaven! We ate their twice and I felt like i gained 5lbs after each visit. haha. But totally worth it. So as I was shopping in Mrs. Paula’s store the guard told me that Paula herself was coming upstairs in a few min! So of course I got excited! She was in Tunica for her husbands birthday! So we waited and waited and finally she arrived and was inside the buffet eating, so of course we went and and saw her. She had her baseball cap on and was hardly recognizable, but after she asked us “How are yall doin!” you could so tell who she was! Then we waited outside for her to come out after dinner and she signed a cookbook that i got for my grandma for her birthday and we took a picture with her. : ) She is SUCH a sweet lady! Later that evening I stopped and talked to this guard that we met the night before and Mrs. Paula was playing blackjack at the table he was guarding, so of course i said hello and we talked for a few min! I didnt even know what to say! haha. Maybe I should have told her about Kitchen Queens! hahaha : ) It was a great weekend and Drew and Sadie were very excited to see me get home! : )

I probably haven taken 100 pics of Miss Sadie and she finally got fed up with it and growled at the camera hahahaha! I also got Sadie’s wardrobe for the week! Yep she has an outfit for each event and I will have pictures of each outfit! : ) Tonight we are having my dad’s Christmas, tomorrow is a girls dinner with my friend Jessica, Wednesday is my sister and grandma’s birthday, Thursday is Kitchen Queens, Friday is dinner and lights at the square, and Saturday is the Holiday Hunnies dinner I am throwing with my best friend Kristin for all our girlfriends!
