Christmas Zoo Lights 2011

I went to The Zoo Lights last Monday with my two sisters and my niece's two little boys. We had a great time and it wasn't too cold that night. I didn't even wear my gloves like I've had to for the last couple of years. The kids went to visit Santa first and then we looked around the zoo. I just love the bats. I have to see them every time I go because I love them. They are beautiful creatures. I took a ton of pictures of them. It's nice that the Zoo here is finally making some good changes. They're making bigger and better enclosures for the animals. They're working on a new area for the polar bears and it looks like they started working on another new area for some of the other animals. It was very sad to go to the Zoo in the past and see those poor animals in those tiny cages and enclosures. Now, they have a little bit of space to roam in and move around in.

I've been very busy lately and haven't had the time to post these pics. And I've been trying to read more. I can't believe Christmas is almost here and another new year is going to start. It's only two more weeks to Supernatural coming back with new episodes and Vampire Diaries. My other shows will be starting up as well. I hope I'm not called back to work too soon because I hate when I'm called and then there is no work to do. It drives me crazy. I like to know that there is a ton of work and then I want to go to work because I'll be busy. It's only a little over two months to the L.A. Con. I've been going on the Convention site every day to see who is going to be there and hoping none of them cancel. The concert is going to be Louden Swain. I loved seeing them last year and I should have bought their CD. Hopefully I can buy one at this next Con.

I was stupid again and went gambling like an idiot. I didn't lose a lot of money, but I still should not be going. I went to the gambling hole on Tues. and last night. I went Tues. in the day with my Mom and I only lost about 40 bucks. That wasn't too bad. Then I went last night with my Mom and two of my sisters. I lost 80 bucks, but I did have a good time. It was fun riding down on the bus. Plus I got mini tacos and cookies at the buffet. Yummy. I had fun, but I wish that I could have won or come home even. It seems like I can never leave with even a dollar in my pocket. I'm rarely lucky and when I am, I usually throw back the money I've won trying to win more. Now that is crazy.
