Oh wait a minute....it was Memorial Day, not MLK Jr. Day, but still.  I had a dream and I usually don't remember my dreams yet I remembered this one! I was in Las Vegas (yay me!) and somehow I ended up sharing a room with Jen Aniston!  I shiat you not! Btw she's even hotter in dreams person, but let me back track a bit.  I was going to Vegas and meeting my two cousins there, Sara and Maria.  My mother told me in no uncertain terms that I must be home in time for Thanksgiving, which was a few days away.  Anyway, I get there, meet up with my cousins at the pool and then they intoduce me to Jen Aniston while pool side and get this....She was there in a tiny tangerine bikini bottom and that's it.  She was sunbathing topless.  I tried to appear cool for about 2 seconds and then I was all like "OMG You're Jen!  I love your tan." Of course I was trying to NOT look at her tanned bosom, yet that proved impossible.  She told me topless was the onl...

Oh. My. God.  Have you guys ever had a Snickers Peanut Butter Square?  I never had, until this morning that is.  There's a bag of them here in the office and they're so good.  I'm telling you, if you look up ambrosia in the dictionary, you'll see one of these squares.  I'm not a huge snickers fan, but I DO love chocolate and peanut butter and baby, they've got the combo done pat. After I had the first bite, I was all.....like this: Hello Lover Snickers Peanut Butter Square....  Is it so wrong to have candy for breakfast when it's just a little square?  Um, two squares, that is. Oh and I'm having salad for lunch. :) And for my late night dessert.......a heads up game with The Poker Grump a/k/a Rakewell and the stakes are high, which means I'll be kicking Poker Grump butt.  Poor guy wants to be beaten again by a girl. Who am I to say no?  Hmmm too bad peanut butter squares aren't part of ...

I was reading my horoscope on the way in to work this morning and it gave me pause. (Now don't go rolling your eyes because you have to read my horoscope; it's good!) Leo - You're craving excitement this week.  Even your favorite pastimes are starting to bore you.  Don't despair, an exciting new hobby will soon capture your attention and take up lots of your free time. Isn't that interesting?  I mean I am craving excitement and of course my favorite pastime (this blog) is in fact, starting to bore me!  It's hard to have an exciting poker blog without, um, poker.  Speaking of poker, I played a heads up match against Jew Boy this weekend.  Anyone wanna guess who won?  :)  I'll give you a hint, it was a HEADS UP MATCH and I WAS PLAYING. If you guessed me, you're right.  The whole game didn't last much longer than 15 minutes when I flopped trip queens and slow played them.  Jew Boy jammed all in and I instacalled.  GG Jew ...

Our receptionist is on vacation this week which means the reception desk is largly unmanned, although I stop by there in the afternoon to see if the mail is in....really to see if there are any checks in the mail.  I was sitting at the reception desk and the owner is walking by the desk and asks me if Matt is in the South Studio.  Huh???? Our office is divided into two studios: The North Studio and The South Studio with reception smack in the middle.  I have zero sense of direction so even though I've been there almost seven years, I have to stop and think about it.  "Which one is the South Studio again?"  The South Studio is the studio on the South side of the building but I have NO CLUE which side that might be.  Even as I type this I'm only about 80% sure I know which studio is which. The South Studio (or um, the North) Couple that with the fact that in the past three months we've hired about nin...

Did I mention that we have new neighbors? Neighbor Sue (the one with the dog who bit my ass) has a 2 family house and a new family moved into the vacant floor.  Evan was uber excited about it because his friend Nick, from his school/grade now lives right across the street from us!  When I got home last week Nick was over.  It started getting late and Evan hadn't done his homework and as much as I HATE to tell kids to go home, I had to break the news to him that Evan hadn't done his homework yet.  And then it struck me....this kid had been at my house all afternoon playing.... "Nick, have you done your homework?" "Ummmmm......no" he said. Obviously, I told him that he needed to do his homework too.  I had a feeling that was the last thing he was planning on doing.  He said it was hard so I told him to go get the worksheet and come back.  He could do it here with Evan and me.  He came back a half hour later carrying only a pen. (?)  ...

When I left for work this morning I was loaded down more than usual.  I had my usual giant hand bag filled to the brim, but because it was Monday and because I was going to the Red Sox game tonight, I had an extra bag with me.  I was carrying breakfast for the week, a big jar of peanut butter (don't ask) a hard cover book, makeup, nail polish, 2 extra jackets, a thermal top, an umbrella, book, mp3 player and the list went on.   But so what, right?  The bus drops me off across the street from my office so I don't have to walk very far. Or so I thought. After the bus crossed the Tobin Bridge and took the exit to Charlestown, it BROKE DOWN.  The bus stalled and then would not start back up again.  Damn!  I had 2 options: walk the rest of the way or wait and flag down the next bus.  I knew the next bus was at least 20 minutes away so I decided to walk even though I was loaded down with all that shiat.  We were pretty much dumped on the ...

I say one non-ass kissy thing about Full Tilt and Blogger takes my post down.  Coincidence?  I think not! LOL Just kidding.  It's very odd that they've taken down our posts though, don't you think? I've been feeling crappy the past couple of days.  One knee is absolutely killing me so I haven't been doing my power walk.  I missed a couple of days and it really makes a difference.  When I was walking every day I felt like every day I could go a little further, motor a little faster.  By skipping a couple of days I feel like I've lost ground.  I don't know if it's because of the missed days or the shitty knee.  Knee hurting all the time seems to make me tired, perhaps because it wakes me up at night or maybe it's just that dealing with pain is tiring.  :(  Oh and I have PMS so that doesn't help.  :) I'm going to do some sort of walk tonight and then we rented Little Fockers on Net Flix so it's Movie Night at our house.  ...

Poker Stars sent me my cash money over a week ago, so why can't Full Tilt do the same?  I'm thinking that they could, but they most certainly have not.  I'm getting a baaaad feeling about this.  WTF!  If you've read anything Full Tilt related by Waffles, you'd see that he says we should be bowing to them in thanks for taking our money for the past decade and giving us some freebies.  How bout giving me my effing money?  Huh?  That right there would solicite a "thank you" from me. I really think thos Mo' Fo's will be keeping our money and that pisses me off to no end.  It's not like they're out of bidness.  They have all you Canadians and Europeans supporting them, so why not send a few Euros to this American?  Huh? Play Smart a/k/a NOT online. Josie

I played poker in Foxwoods!  Um and I sucked.  :(  I played (2) $80 tourneys and didn't cash in either.  My only saving grace was that the 2nd tourney was a bounty so if you knocked someone out you got a $25 chip.  I got 3 of those, so the latter game didn't cost me much.....but still. This was the first time playing poker there and I certainly felt like a new kid on the block.  Each tourney had about 60 peeps and it seemed that there were 6-8 college kids that were tight and most likely playing together.  Oh and they knew the names of every dealer and pit boss so this wasn't their first rodeo.  One was sitting at my table, dripping with gold chains and with oversized shades, an oversized watch and and an oversized ego. I'd been watching his play for a quite a while and when I got 9-9 I got into a hand with him.  I raised it up to 4x the blind and he called.  Flop was 2-3-7.  Bing! I bet 1,800 and he jammed all in for 1,600 m...

Very Josie's Ass OMFG I was getting ready to head out for my hike when Neighbor Sue invited me to stop in for some iced coffee.  Remember her and her dog ????  Moose knows me and starts barking happily when he sees me so I try to be sociable and pat him.  All of a sudden I feel a sharp pain on my ass.  I wasn't sure if he bit me or scratched me because he'd been jumping up on me, but ouch.  It hurt alot more than a scratch.  The fucker bit me in  my ass.  Unfuckingbelievable.  I guess he's been doing that to people he doesn't see very much. I stayed for a bit but I was totally freaked out and kept feeling like he'd bite me again at any time.  :(  My ass hurts. Tonight I'm going out to the movies with the girls. 6 of us are taking the town by storm and by town I mean Pelham NH.  We're going to Chunky's, a movie theater in NH where they serve you dinner before and during the movie, plus they serve mixed drinks!  Woo...

I'm sorry for the lack of posts.  It seems that I'm slacking and I'll tell you why.  I'm so busy in work that there isn't time to post here like I had been.  Then when I get home I workout for at least an hour and then deal with dinner.  By the time all of that is done, the workout from hell has me done in and I'm to pooped to post.  I played in the league tournament last Saturday night.  I'd decided that I wasn't going to play in the league, but seeing as how online poker is kaput, I've changed my mind.  I'm in baby! There were 16 peeps and 2 tables, with a couple of new ladies at my table that I hadn't played with before.  They were definitely a couple and one of them was quite drunk, but more on that later.  Marvin, the second best player in the league (me being the best of course) was also at my table.  Remember last time I won the $40 last longer prop bet with Marvin? Heh.  I still down with Marvin on my left and ask h...

I said something horrible. Truly, I was in panic mode and just reacting. I just don’t know why I reacted that way and said what I said.  In my house we do NOT insult each other. I’ve never called Sugar Bear dumb, stupid, ignorant, evil spawn….you get the idea. Okay, I may have called him evil spawn, but he knew that was in jest. So that being said….. Last night I got back from my walk and he got back from a dip in Neighbor Sue’s jacuzzi. This means he was dripping wet from head to toe (literally) and standing by the front door when our cat Pokey started knocking on the back door. Whenever Pokey wants to come in she bangs on the screen door with her paw until someone comes. Since Sugar Bear was dripping water, I told him to stay where he was and I’d let her in. Pokey loves loves loves loves to hunt and kill animals and man, she’s good at it. She’s always leaving headless mice, birds and snakes by the back door. Obviously Pokey likes head. So in she comes and I see a tiny grey m...

I was chatting/iming with Lightning36 last night after we got knocked out of BBT in Exile #1.  Please enjoy... Light: Thanks for calling me like you said you would. VJ: Erm...I was sooo gonna call you but this is better! Light: You coming to Vegas?  My air and hotel is all set.  I got both for $5. VJ:  Wow that's great - but I dunno.  Don't have enough funds and my trip will cost more than $5. Light: I can get you a free room! VJ: Erm...would you be sleeping in said room? Light: Of course! VJ:  You know no matter how drunk I can possibly get there's no chance of you getting lucky, right? Light: Well...it would be payment, not luck... VJ: LOLLLLLLLLLL For payment like that, you'd have to set me up at the Bellagio for like a month, with room service. Oh shit....he's booking me a month at Bellagio!  Nooooo!!!!! He was just kdding - he's a good friend.  I still think that that as a good friend he can get me a free room down t...

I’m really not that old. I’m in my early forties (yes, 44 is technically “early forties” so suck it) but the workplace and technology has changed so much in the last 20 years, I sometimes feel like a dinosaur. I was working on some figures that didn’t balance so I was adding them up, lickety split, as I always do, and some kid commented on my “lightning” fingers. (Yes, Lightning, he really said that) I can add numbers on a number pad faster than you can say them. It comes from years of doing accounting work with an adding machine and without the benefit of Excel. Yes, when I started my first “real” office job, I didn’t use a computer. I was out of school and still working at Dunkin Donuts. I’d worked at DD from age 15 to about 22. I sent in a resume with very little experience (I’d done the bookkeeping for DD!) in hopes of getting a cash manager position at a company that owned/managed head injury rehab centers and nursing homes across the country. I had an interview with Paula O’R...
