Family :)

I am so very family oriented! I love love love my Mother, my daddy-o and my two sisters. We are very close and can talk to eachother about anything. I am lucky to have a new bother in law and one more by next year. I guess i am the best for last to marry.

A few days ago i was extremely stressed with a headache and sick to my stomache. I went to my mom to unload and have a nervous breakdown. I cried and i cried about work, school, homework, money and the boyfriend. When i was finally finished and calmed down, i was surprised how much better i felt. Sometimes putting up a guard and not talking about it makes things worse. So my advice when stressed out is to find someone to let it out with. You will feel much better.

I have always looked up to my Dad because he's so hard-working, helpful, and loving. We three girls are truly greatful for all we put him through. Can you imagine growing up and sharing a bathroom with 4 women? LOL. He is the best Dad ever and always willing to help with car problems, house maitenance, or pretty much anything.

We all have crazy work schedules and find it hard to make family time. But when we do it is always a good time. I can't wait to see what the future holds for us, and i definately can't wait til we have babies. My parents keep saying they get asked at work about Grandchildren all the time. But only time will tell. So cheers to the future!!

Poker Night

When i was younger my dad taught my sisters and i some card games. We played Gin, Rummy, Poker, Blackjack and 7 No Peek. He wished he would of taught us Sheeps Head because it is his favorite and he plays it everyday at work with his change. But we never got around to it and we hear it's a little more complicated. I have always enjoyed any card games and even remember playing drinking games like Ride the Bus, Mushroom, Asshole and Bullshit. I would have to say Texas Hold'em is my favorite.

Last night my boyfriend rounded up some buddies for a game. He allowed me to partake since my girlfriends don't know how to play. Oh how i wish they could play. We could have our own game like the Desperate Housewives, but i will have to teach them someday. We usually play with 5-8 players. Last night we had 6ppl.

We play cash games, not tounament style because it's too long. This allows us to play with $10-$25 or whatever we prefer. one of his buddies hates playing with me because he said i get lucky. I would have to say that i take chances and get lucky on the river card. Sometimes i bluff on a large pot and scare them away. But i usually don't lose unless i drink too much and get bored or tired.

One time my dad and i entered a tournament at Emil maze Hall. I was surprised to see over 200 people there. We were way out of our element. I was hoping luck would be on my side but it wasn't. We were both out half way through the crowd and did not buy back in. It was a fun experience to share with dad but these people were smart, attentive betters and more experienced. I quickly realized the difference from our small group to the large crowd. But it was all luck and depended on the cards. Luck was not on my side that day:)
