"Bitter Betty" rears her ugly head...again...

It's the whore's birthday today. She's 21.

Why can't I just let this go, you might ask? Unfortunately, I will NEVER be able to forget this day because it's also my parents' wedding anniversary...so there ya go; I'm doomed to remember this day always. *cue melodramatic music*

So much for all of you (including me) who complimented me before about how "well" I'm dealing with stuff.

Hmph.

Happy 37th anniversary, Mom and Dad...

So much for that roll I was on!

I started what I hope will become a new roll on Saturday...with another poker win! S and I made it to the money together for the first time (though we've made it to the final table together several times) and we split the $560 prize pool with one other guy (S and the other guy got $200 and I got $160; I had just over half as many chips as they did so this was fair enough)!

Then we checked out "Lucky You", a romantic poker movie. It wasn't bad...and after mouldering away for almost two years in the vaults, it certainly COULD have been worse! We tried to see this one last weekend but there was a fire in the movie theatre which happened about half an hour into it...I was really starting to think this might be the unluckiest movie on the planet! Opening against that Spider movie AND a fire in the theatre?! Almost seemed like we weren't meant to see it at all...Didn't get a chance to post last week because not only was my boss back from vacation but I was training someone at work, which seriously cut into my slacking/blogging, time. And after this week, I'm on vacation for a week so I can't promise how often I will get around then either. But I do LOVE you guys... ;o)

Here's some of the stuff in store for me next week:

Did I mention that I'm geekily looking forward to this? Especially Styx...say what you will but I love 'em and haven't seen a show in a couple of years so I am SO excited to see TWO! Styx, baby, Styx! :oD

Talk to you soon... *hugs*

Not HNT...

But how about the other HNT site? Check it out...there's some good stuff over there, no? ;o)

Had to pick up cat food Tuesday evening...I buy it from the vet because our brand isn't available anywhere else. The closest place for me to get it is an office attached to one of those big box pet chains...where the ex's twinkie works. See where this is going?

Yeah, so out they stroll, just as I'm getting ready to leave...they don't see me, which is good as I don't want anything to do with either of them anymore. There was cuddling and laughing as they walked over to get subs for dinner and I did feel a little ripple of something.

But that was all and then it was gone...and that's a far cry from where I was a few weeks ago. I've come a long way, baby!

...and I never even thought of keying his car or anything...not seriously, anyway... ;o)

HHNT everyone!

My weekend and the state of my mental health...

The weekend was marvelous!

Poker went well enough Saturday afternoon...by which I mean I played well but did not get very far (about 13th out of 30 or so); didn't even make the final table! :oP For me, playing well is more important than how far I get although I would have liked a repeat of one of the previous two weeks when I, 1) split first and second and won $140 and 2) finished 5th and got my $20 back. There's always this Saturday... :oD

Then Saturday night, we finally ventured out to see the boyfriend's (hereafter referred to as S) favourite local band...we've only been trying to see them since the first night we got back together, so this isn't bad (only 5 months later)! It was a lot of fun; there's nothing like live music to keep you up past your bedtime! Yes, that's JUST how old I am...S and I have not been out past midnight since we've been together either, unless we've been staying at a hotel and that doesn't really count! Just reserve our spots at Shady Pines now... ;o)

Spent all day Sunday lounging around...watched Confidence, which was pretty decent and ate pizza in my jammies. Although I heard it was a beautiful day weather-wise, I don't regret slacking for a second since I don't get enough time to do nothing these days and it was very relaxing.

Yesterday, I got the stamp of sanity from my therapist...okay, that's not true. I just graduated from getting free counselling to having to pay for them to tell me how crazy I am. When we were getting ready to wrap up the last of my five sessions regarding my issues with the split, Dr. Feelgood asks if I am still interested in continuing my work, as we had discussed the last time I was in (read: "I would strongly recommend that you DO!")...subtle, ain't he? lol He was careful to add that he felt that we had made good progress and he wished me luck in my continuing journey, as he handed me the number for the other place. I liked him...although he was kinda young and a little geeky, I do feel like he helped me figure out some important stuff. But I also feel like I need to delve a little deeper and that will take some therapy that lasts longer than a couple of sessions. So, I will make the call to get my brain back into therapy soon...in the meantime, I have this to read on his recommendation...should keep me busy, in between all the poker etc.!

But enough about me...how are YOU all doin'?
