I'm So Excited!

Okay this isn't a picture of me, it's a picture of Rachel Ray.  Don't want you guys to think I'm trying to pull the wool over your eyes.  Yes, I know I'm not as hot as she is, but I have been told that I look like her.

Guess what?  I'm even more excited than she looks!

Wanna know why?

The awesome guys from Poker From The Rail invited me to the BBT5 Invitationals!  It is invitation only, the entries are FREE and top TWO places get a TOC seat, plus cashola.

I was going to copy and paste the entire email here, but I dunno if that would upset them (sometimes I upset people...go figure).  Instead I'll just show you a tiny excerpt from this very nice man's email:

I checked out your blog. I agree, it is pretty damn cool. We'd love to have you in the "Invitational." What's your Full Tilt name? I'll add it to the list.

Woo Hoo!

Isn't he a sweetheart?  He was looking at my blog today, and unfortunately I just realized that I referred to Full Tilt as FFT (Fucking Full Tilt) on today's post.  Probably not the best way to make friends but those guys at Poker From the Rail don't scare easily.

It's this Sunday night at 7:00pm ET and the next few Sunday nights after that too.  If you've got nothing to do Sunday night, feel free to watch Mama in action.

I guess Ms. Harriet Beecher Stowe was right, after all. 

BTW I'm playing The Mookie tonight, and guess what?  I made some phone calls and the home game is on too.  Who says I can't multi-task?  Besides The Mookie starts at 10pm and the home game ends at 10:30pm, not really THAT much overlap.

Play smart.

Josie

I have my ways of getting my Very Joise fix!! looking forward to my very first Mookie tournament tonight. Why the name "Mookie"? In NY there is only one "Mookie" and it is Mookie Wilson.

Congrats Josie. Probably see you tonight at The Mookie
April 28, 2010 at 11:29 AM
Josie said…
@frankie...the who started the private tourney's nickname is Mookie....which IS after Mookie Wilson. Mookie doesn't play the Mookie anymore though. :(

@Coop - Thank you my dear! You should try to get into the invitational....all you gotta do is flirt with a few guys from Full Tilt!

See you both tonight!

BTW - Just found out my lunch with the boss is TODAY. :( Ugh. An hour of my life that I'll never get back.....he keeps stopping by saying we'll talk at lunch.
April 28, 2010 at 11:35 AM
fmarra17 said…
embrace the lunch, maybe he will give you the bonus info you were waiting to hear about. I wonder if that is how my staff feels when we go out to lunch.....I hope not...
April 28, 2010 at 11:52 AM
Josie said…
Franco, the guy that's taking me for lunch is my immediate supervisor..and he doesn't make decisions on bonuses. Only the owner does. But I shall take your advice and embrace the lunch. Maybe I'll even be nice....MAYBE.

If I go to lunch with YOU do I get a bonus? LOL

Josie said…
Frankie, I doubt your staff feels that way about you, unless you use every opportunity to hug them and pump them relentlessly about their personal life.

Since it doesn't look like rain at the moment, ball game will be a go. Therefore I will not be at the Mookie as discussed. IF, for some reason it does rainout this afternoon, then I will play and the LLP will be tonight. Sound good?

However, since you are now in the Sunday Freeroll we COULD have our LLB on Sunday? This makes more sense for us both.

Let me know your thoughts.

Oh, and I think the Mookie was named after Mookie Blaylock (basketball)... but I am not 100% sure.

Josie said…
Schauby,

It's supposed to rain here tonight! We'll do our thing at some point but maybe not the invitational...I really just wanna focus on that if you don't mind. (taking my man, Lightning's advice)

How many guys played the last invitational?
April 28, 2010 at 12:20 PM
dbcooper said…
Somehow I don't think an old guy flirting will get me an invite to the Invitational. Maybe an appearance in a Speedo. Naw that's scary.

Congratulations Sista!!

Great news. Tear out new ones, go for the jugular. or much lower!! In other words, be that cold, calculating, shewolf that I admire and am proud of, and go get yours!!

Love and pink, puffy, girly thoughts...:D

It was something like 108 Josie. Could be more now.
April 28, 2010 at 1:32 PM

108

makes sense. I agree.

GLGL see you at the tables

The invitational is no longer an invitational. It was supposed to be just 40 guys, then turned into 50 now almost 140 because every cried like a whiny bitch that they weren't included.

The Mookie is named after Mookie Blaylock. The actual blogger is the winningest HS girls basketball coach in Texas St. history, or something like that.

He no longer blogs because he has like 100 kids.

and yes, you are now linked.

Josie - No, hugging & prying into people’s life is not in our job description. Although I did have a manager in a past life that wanted to know every detail about why you wanted a day off before he would approve it, which was a real pain the you know what.

Your bonus from me will depend on if you meet your goals for the year!

How did the lunch go?
April 28, 2010 at 1:43 PM
Josie said…
Riggs Baby! You linked me! You obviously know how to make a woman happy!

Side bet tonight Riggsy? $5? I'd love to have a little Riggsy money in my account. You're not afraid of a whiney bitch, are you? :)

Josie said…
@ Coop, I thought speedos were a european thing....must be a canadian thing too.

@Sista, Thank you my dear!

@Frankie, Lunch was pretty good, and didn't take as long as I thought. It did kind of feel like an interoggation but it's done, and it was yummy.
April 28, 2010 at 2:32 PM
dbcooper said…
They are European but if it would have got me an ivitation I would have flopped into one. Yea yea okay don't do the visual

I guess kissing up to Al and Riggs worked out

Wolfie....kissing up? Nah, but thanks. I usually get called a bitch. ;)

Gawd, you don't know how I am struggling to not make funny comments here ...

Go ahead Lightning, take a shot....just make it funny.

The last thing that anyone would want to see is Coop in a banana hammock.

No offense of course.

Congrats on getting in the Invitational. I'll be routing against you. At least when you are in a hand against me.

Otherwise, GL. Hope you take one down!!!
April 28, 2010 at 11:30 PM
Josie said…
Jamy,

1. It sucks having you on my left.
2. Right now you have 6800 and I have 4800 but i'm gonna take your ass out of this tourney. Oh and I'll feel bad about it, but what can you do?

We'll see if my prediction comes true.

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.

I'm busier than a cat covering up shit on a concrete floor so you'll have to forgive me for not posting today. What, you thought this was a post?  Um, no it isn't. But, if you're desperate to read something about Very Josie, and if you like crafty humor, you could go ---> HERE as this post tickles my funny bone.  Go on now, go THERE and enjoy some fine writing for a change, and tell him Very Josie sent you. Snaps for Josie!  (you have to go HERE to appreciate this line and then come back here to leave me a comment.  Just because I'm too busy to post doesn't mean I don't like getting comments.  Now scoot!)

Upset

I got a lot of much needed sleep last night and woke up with intentions of writing a very funny story but plans have changed my friends. I just read Tony's Latest Post and I'm too worried or upset to write about anything so frivolous.  I think many of his readers just see him as an interesting story, and not a person.  I see the person, who I was trying so very hard to steer away from a train wreck, but it didn't work.  In fact, the part that scares me the most is maybe I, with my good intentions, pushed him further off the cliff.  Maybe I put too much pressure on him to avoid the machines - too much pressure about something he is unable to control.  I need to shut the fuck up and stop giving out unsolicited advice, which most likely will not happen.  I cannot express how badly I feel about this. I was only trying to help because sometimes when you're in the eye of the hurricane you don't have the entire picture, at least not a...
