Redbull sucks

Over the past few days I've been taking a bit of personal time to do only the things that make me happy. Having to work on the Real Deal 6 days a week I sandwich my "fun" time around the show. It seems to be working as my spirit feels lighter and I have a constant smile on my face.

I've come to the realization that I need to focus more on myself and be happier with the situation I'm in at the moment... regardless of being on my own. Granted it's quite lonely living here in Vegas, but at least I'm finding out the things that I like to do.

Here are just a few of the things I've been doing to keep me at peace or at least sane:

* Working on new jigsaw puzzles
* Hanging out at Borders looking for new books to read
* Going to the gym
* Yoga
* Listening to My Morning Jacket on repeat
* Watching both season finales of Dexter and Californication while drinking instant Tim Hortons' French Vanilla... the best!!
* Bubble baths
* Doing my new dance workout to Lady GaGa
* Staring out the window for literally hours watching the snow fall
* Eating at my favorite Pho place while reading quantum physics (reminds my of my days at UofA)
*Midnight hockey game with my lil sis and 5,000 drunk hockey fans

Finally!

No more bumming out for this girl! I've had the most amazing day (blog soon to come) and all because I put my foot down after reading this quote by Dr. Wayne Dyer: Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change.

Also it helped that my mom has now jumped on the band wagon of sending mass emails, but managed to send me the funniest thing I've heard/read in a long time. Talking (more like crying) to her two days ago she told me to check my email and I'd find something that would get me to snap out of it, if only for a few minutes. I thought I would share with the rest of you to start this blog off right. It will totally make you laugh:

SAYING GOODBYE TO MOTHER......

You Don't Have To Own A Cat To Appreciate This One! You don't even
have to like them.


We were dressed and ready to go out for the New Years Eve Party.We
turned on a night light, turned the answering machine on,covered our
pet parakeet and put the cat in the backyard.

We phoned the local cab company and requested a taxi. The taxi arrived and we opened the front door to leave the house.

The cat that we had put out in the yard, scoots back into the house. We didn't want the cat shut in the house because she always tries to eat the bird.

My wife goes out to the taxi, while I went inside to get the cat. The
cat runs upstairs, with me in hot pursuit. Waiting in the cab, my wife
doesn't want the driver to know that the house will be empty for the
night. So, she explains to the taxi driver that I will be out soon,
'He's just going upstairs to say goodbye to my mother.'

A few minutes later, I get into the cab. 'Sorry I took so long,' I
said, as we drove away.
'That stupid bitch was hiding under the bed. I had to
poke her with a coat hanger to get her to come out! She tried to take
off, so I grabbed her by the neck. Then, I had to wrap her in a
blanket to keep her from scratcing me.
But it worked! I hauled her fat ass
downstairs and threw her out into the back yard!'

The cab driver hit a parked car.

Live Well...Love Much...Laugh Often

Bummin out in Vegas

Well I left y'all hanging again and I must apologize. Things have been quite hectic and almost impossible to catch up. Sadly I've been a little bummed out as well and I can't stand writing when I'm down. I really enjoy writing good news and posting random funny blogs for my friends and family... at least I think my blogs are funny.

Honestly this past holiday was not easy on me and being alone on Thanksgiving really sucked. I had to work on the show that week and I'm not used to being tied down to Vegas longer than a month. (Thank goodness for my Vancouver trip or I might have gone insane!) Really why do we need to celebrate this holiday when everyday we should be grateful for our life, family and friends? Yet the more I told myself that, the more bummed I got. I decided to turn my phone off to stop the incessant flood of mass texts saying "Happy Thanksgiving!" Making yummy spaghetti I watched football and old episodes of The Office and went to bed. - Mommy I promise I won't miss next year's Thanksgiving.

I'm finishing up a bunch of blogs for pokerlistings about playing up in Vancouver for the BC Poker Championship and also about working on The Real Deal. Be expecting those very soon. Lots of fun stuff... just had to wait to snap out of this funk to finish writing on a chipper note.

Here's something to lighten the mood and make you laugh. Last night on CBC in Canada I appeared on This hour has 22 minutes with Raj Binder ( Shaun Majumder) and few of my good friends.
