I can't believe it's almost Easter! Happy Easter everyone!! Much has happened since the last time I wrote... and wow, I can't believe that was last year! ok ok ok... I'll try and make this a priority!
To Recap:
1. We had a fabulous end of the year. Good times, good eats and great family memories! The holidays were a blast and we did something different this year. We decided to spend less and get more creative! So, as a family, we decided to only do "stockings" (mind you, these stockings were 3 foot high and 2 foot wide! lol) The kids got to "fill" ours and we did the kids. The limit was $100 for each person. OMG! Do you know how HARD that is to do??? lol But, we did it and it became a very creative process to put things in them that were fun, meaningful and desirable! Needless to say, it was wonderful and something I recommend to others to try. It really helps ease the pressure of spending too much on a holiday and helps the family get into it. Yes, it is best if you wait until your kids are grown! Mine are both over 21 and so they can get into it and appreciate the spirit of the game.
2. The Women in Poker Hall of Fame - I'm not going to write about it in this particular post. It was too fabulous to just give it a mention. So I'll write all about it in a separate post!
3. Ahhh... the Mexican Riviera cruise. For the first time, the whole family went on a cruise vacation together! It was sooo much fun and perfectly relaxing. No pressure, no phones, no internet, no nada!! I LOVED IT! And I was able to share some of the culture with my children who have never been anywhere in Mexico outside of Baja and boy, what a joy it was. We went to museums, off the beaten path restaurants, into the jungle (which is very close to the flavor of where I was raised) and still had all the luxuries of the cruise ship to enjoy when we weren't in port! Some friends were also on board so that made it even better! The only downside was I did manage to get the worst cold of my life and I stayed in bed for the last three days of the cruise. But, hey... a bad day on a cruise beats any good day at work! lol
4. Gearing up for a huge poker summer!! We have some very exciting things happening this summer in Vegas! If a woman who plays poker doesn't take advantage of it, then she is just not really into poker! lol We have all these great events:
June 6th - Binion's Ladies Event - $90 + $10 11AM 2K in starting chips and Optional $10 - 2K bonus chips
June 7th - Golden Nugget LIPS WSOP Ladies Super Satellite - $135 + $25 3PM 3K in starting chips with an Optional $5 - 2K in bonus chips. 20 min rounds. For every 10 players the following will be awarded: One seat to the Ladies WSOP $1k event. - Players choice to $300 + $30 event for either the Monday Golden Nugget LIPS event or to the LIPS Championship July 13th at the Orleans Casino.

And don't forget our monthly event at Orleans Casino!

SO, there is something for all levels of players and all pocket books!! Just remember, you can get in through satellites on any of these events. So do it, enjoy and GOOD LUCK!
5. FINALLY! We're getting our Online Leagues back in action! Some are for the ladies and others are mixed events for cruises, open events and specialty events. So look for that in the near future!
Well, that is about it at the moment... I'll be sure to get updated more often. (Now that I remember my log in! hehehe)
Hasta next time!
HUGS!
