Creepy Ending to Previous Story



That's minor league pitcher Tommy Hottovy. I don't think he's made it to the major league yet.


Soo every night, I'd sneak away for an hour of black jack and win a few hundred bucks. All these casinos/hotels are on the boardwalk and they have this whaddayacallthem's on the boardwalk. I think they're called pedi-cabs, which are men pushing you in a giant baby stroller (for lack of a better visual).

One night it's well past 11pm, my baby boy, who's 11 yrs old is sound asleep. I decide to go to a casino that is about a 10 minute walk away from us, to play black jack.

It's about 2am and I decide to call it a night. Actually I'd call it a very profitable night - the best I had. I brought $200 with me and now I have about $1,500 cash on me and Atlantic City is not the safest city in the US, if you catch my drift.

I'm there alone and I'm not too concerned about the walk back to the hotel because it's all on the boardwalk and I decide I'll take a pedi-cab. Great idea, right?

Nope.

Those things crowd the boardwalk all day but not one was in sight at 2:30am. Shit!

I go back into the casino to decide what to do. 5 minutes later I think "aw fuck it. I'll hustle and do that 10 minute walk in 5 minutes."

So I exit the casino and a guy starts following me. Super paranoia sets in and I wonder if he's followed me from the window where I cashed my chips in.

Now he starts talking/shouting as I keep walking faster and faster. He's asking me if I won tonight....do I want to go to a party....I never turn my head or drop my stride but I'm freaking out inside.

I'm at a trot and so is he....not another soul on the boardwalk till I see a homeless (looking) man up ahead. I walk right up to him and ask him to escort me back to my hotel, which he does.

The guy following me FINALLY gives up. I gave my escort $20 and ran to the elevator with my heart pounding.

But enough about that, don't I have a great tan in THIS spring training picture?

I cut the minor leaguer out of the photo, because really, it's all about me.

Dogs Are Vermin

I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. Sugar Bear does. I especially don't like small dogs. I'm considering getting a dog, a chihuaha.  I must be out of my fucking mind.  The dog needs a home and it's free (I'm fucking cheap).  Sugar Bear doesn't know of this thank goodness. OMFG I should just say NO like Nancy Reagan, or as Waffles said, Barbara Bush.  :P Oh and there are a couple of new blogs on the blog roll over yonder. --->  Check out the newbies, Rob and Cranky.  Good shiat. Josie PS I should really just say no instead of ruining my life, right? PPS As luck would have it Sugar Bear has always wanted a chihuahua specifically.  :(  and a duck.

The Very Josie was Very fun yet I'm Very frustrated. (looking at you Jordan) We ended up with (13) players.  Not too shabby, considering it was Dank night. The players were: 1. Coop 2. Frankie Baby 3. Gary 4. Jordan 5. Kattitude 6. Lucky Duck 7. Memphis Mojo 8. The Lovely Very Josie 9. WolfsButt, I mean Wolfshead :P 10. Edgie??? 11. GoBurn1 12. My sis, PrettyCat1 a/k/a Cricket 13. Baynes Baynes made an entrance showing up a tiny bit late, but what a pleasant surprise.  I could've kissed that frog!  (frog avatar)  Baynes I think you can leave work at a decent time one a month, right?  The Very Josie is only once a month! 2 tables.  I started off with Mojo, Kat, Edgie, GoBurn1, Baynes & Ducky at my table.  Started off playing good and stayed that way.  Caught some decent cards early on and kept the chips I won.  But that Damn Mojo was a thorn in my side for the whole game.  He got MORE chips early on and held onto them too.  Mojo will now be called Nem
