MORE than time for a new post, I'd say!

(If only to move Bitter Betty down to her rightful place, further down the page!)

Vacation was wonderful and looked a little something like this:

Fri. May 18...babysat my guys (my sister's boys) and watched "Night at the Museum", which was quite entertaining for what it was.

Sat. May 19...played poker. Played well but didn't cash.

Sun. May 20...played more poker. Placed 1st which gets me a certificate for 5000 chips to play in a tournament in August with a first prize of $800-$1000 cash.

Mon. May 21...went to the zoo. Had a great time but remembered how old and out of shape I am. Resolved to start working out again...after vacation!

Tues. May 22...played poker again. Placed 2nd which gets me another certificate worth 2500 chips for the August tourney.

Wed. May 23...played free poker (no buy-in). Came in 6th which didn't get me anything but means that I played well and seems to indicate I was on a roll! ;o)

Thurs. May 24...off to Casinorama to see Styx, baby, Styx! We stayed overnight and got to play in the pool (one of my very favourite things to do in the world!). The show was great and I was thrilled to get to see the boys again after having missed them for over two years...

Fri. May 25...we had about 9 hours on our hands after we checked out and before the second show so after we wandered around town, exploring their Sunshine Sidewalk sale thingy, we decided to try our hands at $1/$2 No Limit in the casino. It was the first time I'd played N/L in a casino setting but thanks to ALL the poker we'd been playing lately, I wasn't really intimidated at all. Half the table was pros and we actually did pretty well, I think...we played for 2 1/2 hours and were only down $50 of our original $200 (thanks in large part to me sucking out against one of said pros; I had pocket K's, he had pocket rockets...I flopped a set and they held up! Poker really is a bitch!). Then on to Show #2, which ROCKED! They did a different set, knowing that there were lots of people there to see more than one show and not wanting us to get bored!

Sat. May 26...more poker. Played okay but didn't cash.

Sun. May 27...again, more poker (yes, in fact I AM addicted!). Came in 2nd again and got 2500 more chips for the August tourney. Which was the GOOD part of Sunday. The bad part was waking up in the middle of the night with a blinding headache and having to call in sick Monday because I couldn't sleep, it was so nasty.

So, the rest of this week has been back to work and catching up and trying to get around to visit all of you out there to see what you've been up to! This weekend I'm looking forward to...you guessed it! More poker and getting "Knocked Up" ;o)

And I was serious about the working out thing...more details on that next week...I swear!!!

Happy weekend all! *hugs*
