I get anxiety before every event.  Too much worry that I might get voted off.  I hope these Donkey Island guys know that they're supposed to be nice to me.  Ugh.

I'm heading to my mom's house shortly for pasta and guilt. :)  Oh and plenty of talking too.  Have I mentioned that my mother loves The Game Show network?  Family Feud, Baggage, The Newlywed Game are some of her faves.  Since I visit her on Sundays, chat always turns to her least fave part of The Game Show Network.

Mom: "Oh it's Sunday night.  That darn poker takes over all my shows.  You like watching that poker don't you?"

Me: "Ma, it's good. You should watch poker on GSN.  It's  interesting."

Mom: "Are you crazy?  Those guys betting all those chips.  That's so boring.  Where do they get all that money anyway?  I can't watch  my shows because of that ___________ poker.  Are you gonna watch it?"

Me: "Probably.  It's interesting."

Mom: "You know that girl Annie Duke?  Now she's a nice girl.  She's on 1 vs 100 because she's so smart.  Madonna mia, that girl never gets a questions wrong.  Smart girl. and pretty too.  She reminds me of  you.  She plays the poker just because she's smart.  Is she married?  What a nice girl."

Me: "Well she was married but she's divorced now.  Hey, you know she has 4 kids?"

Mom: "Does she get paid for being on 1 vs 100?"

Me: "Um, I dunno, but it can't be much."

Mom: "She's rich from poker.  You know how I know?  Because she's not on that ______ poker show on Sunday night. She's on 1 vs. 100! What a smart girl."

Hopefully another smart girl makes it through tonight.

Play smart, like Annie Duke and you too can wind up on 1 vs. 100.

LOL That would be very interesting but IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN.

Gary's met Ma unfortunately. I say unfortunately because he met her when my dad got sick. He showed up with capicola and my mom fell in love.

"What a nice, handsome man."

Ha ha -- your mom would immediately love me. Most mothers have, except for my mother-in-law. She has learned to love me over the years, though.

My mom loves GSN too, except shows like Baggage. She likes to watch the poker though and wonders why I can't be more like Dwan

Oh well, guess you'll have to settle for Waffles, especially since my hair no looks like Elvis on his second day of boot camp.

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.

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...
