217th New Thing - Went to Revel

I'm on vacation so I didn't have time to post the last few nights, therefore I'm posting this late as this occurred 3 days ago (Thurs 5/24/12).
We are in the northeast for a few days so we went to Atlantic City for a few hours on Thurday. First we parked at Trump Plaza and went out to the boardwalk. Then we went to Trump Taj Mahal where I lost $20 in roulette. Roulette is a casino game that players choose to place bets on either a single number or a range of numbers, the colors red or black, or whether the number is odd or even. To determine the winning number and color, the wheel is spun in 1 direction, then spins a ball in the opposite direction around a tilted circular track running around the the wheel. The ball eventually falls on to the wheel and into 1 of 38 colored and numbered pockets on the wheel.

Next we went to the newest casino, Revel. It officially opened May 25, 2012 with 6.2 million square foot on the beachfront on the boardwalk. It is located north of the Showboat Hotel and Casino. Revel is built on a 20-acre site with 1,000 feet of boardwalk frontage. Revel's hotel tower is the tallest structure in Atlantic City and the 2nd tallest in the state of New Jersey at 47 stories. After Revel, we grabbed a bite to eat; a crab cake and fried clams. Next we walked on the beach and played frisbee. Then we went back to Trump Plaza where Matt lost $20 in black jack. Black jack is another casino game where the player is dealt an initial 2 card hand with the option of drawing cards to bring the total value to 21 or less without exceeding it, so that the dealer will lose by having a lesser hand than the player or by exceeding 21.

Later on in the evening, we went to Philadelphia for cheesesteaks at Tony Luke's.

111th New Thing - Took a Zyrtec

If you recall, I went to the dermatologist to get a skin screening for the 1st time back in December. When I was there, the doctor did a biopsy of 1 of the moles on my back (which came back as normal, by the way). The area was healing pretty well until about 2 weeks ago. The area around the wound started getting bigger instead of smaller and oozing. Therefore, I went back to my doctor to check it out. She said I was having an allergic reaction to something, probably the Neosporin . She gave me some new ointment, Vanos , and said I should take Zyrtec until the area starts to get better. Vanos (fluocinonide) Cream is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses in patients. Best results are seen if used twice per day. Zyrtec (cetirizine) is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose. Zyrtec can be u...

364th New Thing - Ate a Mini Lemon Bites

My co-workers birthday was today so to celebrate they bought her a vanilla cake, a chocolate cake, and mini lemon bites from Costco . I had some chocolate cake and a mini lemon bite. These are made by Upper Crust Bakery . They supply Sam's Club, Starbucks, Costco, Kroger, Whole Foods, and BJ’s Wholesale Club. Both desserts that I ate tasted good. According to the Livestrong Calorie Tracker , 1 mini lemon bite is 130 calories, 19 g carbs, and 1 g protein. What did you do today?
