Turning 21 and the days after

On Saturday, after the BBQ and nice nap, we decided to go to the Casino. Both B and I love Blackjack. We hadn’t been in awhile and decided we would try a different Casino, one that we thought we had never been to.
Driving though the parking lot, I still thought I had never been there. B realized he went there just shortly after his 21st Birthday. Once we walked through the doors, I was still thinking, “I think this the one Casino I have never been to.” I have been to almost every Casino in my area because one of my exes  had a gambling problem. We frequented the Casinos quite a bit and I watched him gamble all his money away.
In order to gamble you have to get a “Players Card” by showing your ID. I showed the lady at the counter my ID. She entered my info into her computer and asked, “Are you still at $%#@ Smith ST?”

“No!” I laughed, “Thats my mothers address! I haven’t lived there in years!!”

I turned to B and said, “Well, I guess I HAVE been here at same point!”

The lady laughed and said, “It must have been one those times right after your turned 21 and you were just having such an amazing time you can’t remember!”
I laughed with her, but there weren’t alot of those times. Times when I was having such an amazing time that I can’t remember. After I turned 21. Before I turned 21? Pssstt. I could tell you stories. From the time I was 18 until I got pregnant right after I turned 20, I was wild. Heck, more than wild.
Then I grew up………….fast. I was no longer happy-go-luck, girl who was up for anything. Good or Bad? I don’t know. Just different. Wish I had a little bit longer as that girl………
