Damn Tax Day if you’re wondering.  My eyes have scanned a zillion crumpled receipts, paypal pages, checking account sheets and cried through every second of it.   My brain – and body – beg to sprawl out on the bed.  The wind came up about two hours ago and the coach is rocking, it’s chilly, my sense of humor left about two days ago when I started recording all of the numbers that I should have done periodically throughout the year.  I’ll be on my way to Vegas in no time, sis is going with me as we like to sit through each other’s misery at the accountant’s office.  And we go in together so we can create a festive air of being broke and having to pay, pay, pay.  We’re sick bitches!

One word of caution, if you are cruising the wine section of your favorite store and happen upon a bottle of Chocovine – don’t buy it.  Don’t try it!  It’s so incredibly yummy that you’ll want to down the whole bottle.  I drank most of one today…best not to have any in the coach from now on.  Perhaps it’s just because I’m a binge-o-maniac on some things, but if you are too, best leave it on the shelf and walk on by.

My video card in the desktop finally decided it was time to die…it did it in spurts, working and then not working, giving me a windows pop-up that there was a hardware problem but not enough info to know what device was causing the problem, of course I was reading the pop-up so I wasn’t sure it was the video card.  Two days later, I was positive.  New video card, all’s well.  Damn good thing since that’s the pc I torture myself with poker on.  (more…)

It’s PokerWorks Family Donkey time – on Valentine’s day, the perfect donkey day – let’s play for $5.00 + $.50  and more BS than you can stand, at 22:30 ET on PokerStars since MOI has never had the time or energy to think of finding out what the hell Full Tilt Poker has on offer.  Don’t forget the password – donkeys.  Don’t forget the tournament ID 242149175 – although the easiest way to find it is to go to ‘tourneys’ – ‘private’ and scroll down to 22:30.

Probably the same clown that said, “Cinderella, your glass slipper is ready!”

“Ah-h-h-h-h-h!  Come on Valentine, show me a little love!”  (more…)

Too funny sometimes how plans are made and then dumped because of weather.  Such is the case for me today…as the old expression goes ‘Raining like a cow pissing on a flat rock.’  If you’ve never heard it before, don’t fret, I’m sure there are lots of sayings we all haven’t heard and are probably the better for it.  It was a steady downpour all day.  There are pools of water standing on the property.  The Riotmeister and I made it an indoor kind of day.  He goes home tomorrow.

Sooner or later…I always come back.  It’s been awhile.  MOI’s been a very, very busy girl.  Mz. DigDug has been digging up the earth for the last 5 trees to be planted on the back of the property by the fence line, the new holes are dug, the trees have yet to be dug – I’m counting on my son to be out this afternoon and that’s where we’re heading. (more…)

starts Sunday – the 31st – at 22:30 ET – password ‘donkeys’ – at PokerStars.  Sorry kids, I didn’t make it to check out Full Tilt Poker’s private tournament standards.  Come and play – buy-in $5.50.  Look under ‘private’ for ‘PokerWorks Family’ or search tournament ID 236526138.  See you there!

I hit Vegas on Friday a.m. – snow at the top of the ‘hump’ (AKA Mount Potosi) was around a foot deep but the road was clear.  Some wind and sleet/rain was incoming and I was sure there would be snow on the way home that evening.  I stopped by the old digs and then headed to the convention center of the Riviera where I was to meet/pick up Clearspine and his wife.  We found each other.  (more…)

Some kinda weather going on here, but reports from the truck driving duo, the Hack, and from writer extraordinaire Jen, it’s not JUST here, it’s running outa control in the western region.  The winds came with the rain, each taking its turn, at times raging in unison, the forecast for good weather is out there somewhere, but definitely not here, not now.  The mountains have a major head of snow – visible when I first got up today but covered now in a shroud of mist and clouds and buried behind a wall of rain – just where I’ll be driving tomorrow. OMG!  A duck just swam by my window! (more…)

First the PokerWorks’ Family Tourney was played and MOI won (lucky bitch) and she’s so glad she is lucky and so glad she won.  Getting pushed around twice a month is not only b-0-r-i-n-g, it’s hard on one’s poker mentality.  Anyway, we had 10 players and that was extremely nice.  My son Josh played and even after he got knocked out, he stayed to root for me…sending me little chat messages now and then.  NICE!
