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.

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!)

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
