Day 111: Balance

I have to say...I am feeling rejuvenated and fresh. Even though, I spent most of my time trying to pull Armen away from the tables, it was a good weekend. He likes to gamble and I like to drink and go out dancing, so, we always have to compromise and find mutual ground.
Sometimes, I feel like I'm about to pull my hair out when he gambles... then, I promise myself that I won't go back to a Casino with him, then, I think, "ok...stop nagging, you nagging woman!" So, I leave him alone... but, if I had a gun today, I would've shot his ass.

It was time to leave the Casino, so I told him I'd turn the valet ticket in, while he cashed his chips in... I had lost my claim ticket for the valet, so I went back into the Casino to find him. I walked in wondering where the cashier was... I started walking towards the back of the casino... then, I thought, "I bet he's playing at the tables... Oh, if I find him playing, I swear I'm going to shoot him..." So, I turned around and walked towards the tables... ya, guess what? Yes, I recognized his forehead from 200 feet...so.... as my blood pressure was rising, I stared at him and started walking towards him. He looked up at me and smiled, like a little boy caught playing in the dirt. I was not smiling... I walked towards him, and tried not to flip out... I just spoke very calmly and said, "I lost the ticket to the valet... you know where it could be?" With a huge smile on his face, he replied, "you dummy... what we gonna do now?" So, as he noticed the tension I had in my face, he picked his chips up from the table and started walking with me...

After, I cooled down a bit, it was a pretty funny situation. The look on his face was priceless...

We're very different when it comes to certain preferences, but, at the end of the day, we balance each other out.

Tip of the Day: Try to live a balanced life... too much of anything is not good.
