Time for a GOOD laugh

A good friend forwarded an email that will truly make you laugh. I had to share it with y'all. ----->

Turn up your sound and click on the website below. This accident happened in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area and you must listen to it. It is a phone call from a man who witnesses a car accident involving four elderly women. It was so popular when they played it on CHUM FM that they had to put it on their website. The guy's laugh is contagious. If you close your eyes and picture what he is watching, it is even better than a video clip!

Moral - BEWARE of little OLD ladies!!!!!!!! Especially when they are together in a group!

2 days till the big V day

Today I saw something that made me smile. I feel it's important in life to look at the positive things and only focus on what makes you happy. Being a negative person for a good chunk of my life has forced me to reconsider what exactly is my main purpose. To be miserable and always complain only making my life worse. Or be happy and appreciate the good things in life regardless of all the bad.

Since it's close to Valentine's day I thought I would share my moment. I was in one of the rooms at the doctor's office. The door was open and I noticed an old man slowly walking by. He looked at me and smiled. He was the type of old man that just looked sweet and had one of those smiles that his whole face would light up. Genuine. A nurse was helping him into the room across from me. He turned to her and said, "Don't forget my love is still behind...I couldn't even think with out her." A few seconds later the cutest little old woman appeared. She was so tiny and moved slower than an inch worm as she shuffled her feet. I couldn't help but smile to myself and think it was the sweetest thing I've seen in a long time. Love like that is something you don't find everyday. I pray that all of you find or have found that love and cherish it each and every day of your life. Next blog I'll write a little more mushy stuff... just a small warning... you may feel all gushy inside. ;)

Old Skool

I found an old contact sheet from when I was 17 and modeling. This was back in the day when you didn't have digital cameras to look back and fix anything. I specifically remember this shoot and how much fun it was. Perfect day, with the exception of wind, but I was with my favorite photographer and makeup artisst. The wind interference was at least fun to laugh about. If you look at the last pic you can see my favorite shot of the day and understand why. It's crazy to look back and see the progress in technology and how it's changed even the modeling industry. Contact sheets had to be printed out with each row of film you shot. With the pics being so tiny you had to use a loop to magnifiy them. From that point your agent would check mark which ones would end up in print. Now all the photographer has to do is point, shoot and look to see if the shot is right; saving a week long process. Pretty cool.

Too much fun at the .99c only store

The only store that you'll find more crap than a saturday morning garage sale, and it's cheaper too. Heath and I were running errands and needed to buy some hangers. I had the bright idea of going to the .99c store, since it was next to where we were shopping at. If you haven't been in one of these stores and need a good laugh you must head over there... pronto. Last time I had been inside one was years ago and I had the time of my life. Dunk off my ass with a few girlfriends we needed to get presents for a White Elephant Party. I think I almost peed in my pants from all the racous we made. The icing on the cake was my girlfriend knocking over a display o' crap and falling flat on her ass.

This time was just as fun and I was as sober as a nun. We went down each isle and each one had at least 5-10 items that would make you laugh. If it wasn't the name of the product it was the product itself. Old VHS tapes of the 2000 election BUSH vs GORE, more do rags than you know what to do with, pink hambuger helper, and large ceramic penguins are only the tip of the iceberg. In all seriousness, they do have plenty of items that are a great deal. Things like AA batteries, sponges, and crazy colored nail polish were quickly tossed into the basket.

Also if you're into people watching, you're in luck. This just so happens to be the prime spot for all those interesting characters that you see from time to time. And again I'm not saying everyone in the store is a wack job, normal people shop there too. It does seem like the ratio of ordinary people vs. mental patients happens to be a little off when compared to a regular supermarket.

And to save the best part for last... As we we checking out we heard the intercom with a woman's concerned voice, "Price check on lane 5." Heath and I laughed to the point tears were in our eyes. Good times.

By the way if you're looking for white hangers the .99c store is not the place.

Back on track

I'm finally back in Vegas after a long trip to Atlantic City for the Borgata Winter Poker Open. This month I've decided that I'm going to be spending time with loved ones and relaxing. Which means no LAPC for me, but plenty of Venetian Deepstack tournaments to get my poker fix. Stop by and say hello if you see me at the tables.

Flying in Friday night I was greeted in baggage claim with a huge bouquet of flowers by someone that kind of looked like my boyfriend. After being gone for three weeks I barely recognized Heath after all his training. He's fighting March 1st and all day everyday he's getting ready to kick some ass.

Heath got a room for the weekend at Mandalay Bay. Not only was it Superbowl weekend, but the UFC fights were going on. This was my first UFC fight and it was a great experience, especially having the "Texas Crazy Horse" by my side. We watched Frank Mir's win against Brock Lesnar which was great to see. Photo on the right. Lesnar can't honestly think he can walk into the UFC from the WWE and have a shot to win the heavyweight title. By the way it belongs to someone with the intials HRH or better known as HTCHH. Y'all can figure that one out.

Sunday was spent playing poker at Mandalay and the Red Rock. I must say playing poker against people that were more interested in watching the Superbowl was easier than shooting fish in a barrel. I didn't even need to look at my cards and would still win pots, no joke. Sigh. If only everyday was that easy.

The following day was a long one. Waking up at 5:30am we had to catch an early flight to Seattle. I had never been to this beautiful city and it already lived up to its standards. It rained the whole day. What a surprise. Regardless it's a great place and we'll be back again. Not to mention it's close to Vancouver, so next time I'll make a quick run for the border.

Getting back home was quite a relief, but I'm still trying to catch up with everything. I'll be making sure to keep up with this blog as much as I can. And if that's not enough for y'all, I'm also writing a weekly blog at Poker Listings. Make sure to check it out. I'm so happy to be part of their team of bloggers and it will be a great way to share my poker experiences in a way that forces me to write better blogs.

Happy Chinese New Year everyone! May this year bring much luck and happiness.
