Bloggin means???

Well I guess it really means you have to WRITE something! hehehe Well, I am usually behind on normal correspondence, so blogging will be a challenge for me.

So, here is whats been on my mind lately....

Recently my family and I have had set backs in a variety of areas of our lives. However, for the first time in my life, the issues aren't making me unhappy! I think I have been sorting through the things I can do something about and those that I can't. And I'm concentrating on the things I can control and letting God handle the things I can't. And you know what?? God is good! lol

I mean it. In the smallest of ways, He shows up. And I am comforted and even tickeled when it smacks me in the forehead "Ah ha!" I didn't have anything to do with that.... it was all Him.

The other thing? I love Joe. And my kids. It's been years since we have all lived together and as odd as it is, it's still wonderful. Sitting at the table to eat is fun. We used to only do that at holiday times, but now, we do it at least 3-4 times a week. It's a moment to connect that we haven't done in ages but is precious.

ok, this blogging thing isn't so bad. But I could go on and on and on and I'd bore you to death! lol

Hasta!

Thanks to the Poker Chix....

I'm playing in the Omaha H/L $1500 buy in WSOP event tomorrow! I can't wait! The gals got together and bought "shares" of me... omg, I am sooo honored! Their faith in my play will take me a long way. I'll think about all my starting hands, all my bets, and the raises with them in mind and their spirits will help me get through that insane field!

I went and picked up snacks and little things for my "survival" bag I'm taking... the only thing I forgot was my hand sanitzer! I'll have to have it if I plan on munching at the table... that is for sure!

This is a dream of mine to play this event... it's always fabulous to realize a dream! Thank you my fellow chixters for helping make this dream come true! I love you!!

Hello world! I'm a blogger! lol

After a lot of encouragement from folks, I decided to jump on the blog band wagon. It's OK though, it will help me record all the interesting situations I get into... and em, out of! hehehe

It's a Sunday and it's 95 degrees outside here in Vegas, the start of a really long and hot summer I suppose... when Joe came down stairs and said "Come on, we're going to Mt. Charleston!"

Wow, what an oasis in such short distance!! This mountain is only 30 mins from Vegas and at 11,918 feet above sea level, Charleston Peak is the second highest mountain of the Spring Mountain National Recreation Area, and the highest point of the Nevada portion of the Toiyabe National Forest. The cool part is the temperature on the mountain is usually 25-30 degrees cooler than that of Las Vegas, and trust me, it was! We clocked the temperature on the way down and about every 2 mins down, it was another 5 degrees hotter! I'm just grateful to have discovered it... now I can escape the heat and be there in no time at all!

It's almost time for the weekend to end, and I just got a call from Gyla, Janice and Michelle out at the WSOP Circuit Event in New Orleans where London Gallagher is on the final table of the Ladies event!! She went out in third place, but still... it was a blast to sweat her all the way from here! Congratulations London!!

I'm working on some really fun projects and I hope to be able to share them with you very soon. One of which is a dream realized! I can't wait!!

Until next time.... HUGS!
