Poker Stars

Once again the sweet sound of the shuffle and deal has pulled the family poker greats to the table.They say family bonding is best done around the dinner table....I disagree. It is done with bottomless lime Margaritas in the company of 3 strangers who believe they are checking, calling and raising with friendly (we send drinks) Quebecois femmes. We two are our own entertainment, believing we are funnier than Detective Cousteau and not noticing if no one else at the table is amused. Online poker allows you tell a tale that no one can verify. For years I was Madonna, a freelancing Midwife on call in the wilds of Alaska. A calling that caused me to leave tables with out warning,was responsible for my lack of follow through on bets and made my language very colorful because of long hours spent in the company of rough and rugged air ambulance pilots.In summary online poker is a super way to spend a sleepless night, make a little money, meet an abundance of 15 year old boys masquerading as women with very large breasts and bond with your family.

Secret Project

I have been working on a project that I have kept under wraps for weeks and weeks. It is way out of my comfort zone being that is pretty, trendy and OMG....highly functional. Never the less Today I will take it out of the shadows ; lay it gently into the light box and photograph it .....and yes share it with the likes of you. My fear is that you will find it horribly repulsive or......everyone will want one and as you know, I cannot make 2 the same of anything....learned that with the production of my children.....stand by.....

Can't get this out of my head....love it

Pay it forward

He could of been my son,except I only have girls, or he could have been your son. It really wouldn't of mattered as he was some ones son. We passed him 3 times throughout our girl's day outing to the Jam and Sweet Shop, various Thrift Shop places and finally an early dinner at my fav...The Blind Angler on the beach. Maybe 17-19 years old, really dirty and worn out looking, and carrying a ratty duffel and a well cared for guitar, he looked tired and hungry. He came into the restaurant and was rushed out to the deck where he could read through the menu without offending the delicate sensibilities of us the paying customers. Stares all around and whispers as we all regarded this long hair dreadlocks blond boy....someones son...some with disdain, some with curiosity and others with empathy. He shook his head, thanked the owner and made his way out to the front, first asking to use the washroom.......when he returned much to his surprise his dinner was waiting for him in the far corner of the deck.....any other players of PIF...so much fun.

Edge of Glory....GaGa, complicated and interesting

More about scam scum

Let me just say again how evil those Scumbags are that hack into Facebook and access your contacts and primary email contact information then wipe the files.Reporting the crime to FB leads to a pleathora of complications starting with lock out of your FB account.Then ensues the neverending volley of messages between moi and the FB Team. I am so done. I can go no further. I am going to close my FB account,wait I can't cause I'm LOCKED OUT %$#@.I am going to the beach to regain my sanity, talk softly to my poor puppy and say I'm sorry to the man in my life for the rants of the last 3 days.

Putting romance into a marriage

It's not the naked man under the apron....though let's think about that for a moment............hmmm. It's not encouraging others in the room to participate in the kitchen cleanup jobs while the hubby shows off his clicker moves.It is not taking the household out for dinner though that should never be discounted as a possible remedy and it is not cancelling the evening meal for cheap Tuesday at the movies where popcorn is the meal of the night. The real turn on is the man who gets up first from the table with dishes in hand. The sound of water running as he rinses and places dishes in the dishwasher and the realization that leftovers are being dealt with in an established household manner.That dear readers is my ultimate turn on and THAT is amazingly what happened after dinner with friends last night.....impressively HOT
