Of course, I mean that in the best way. But man, I REALLY needed to get to bed last night after The Amazing Race, but the Mars was too tempting so I stayed up to watch it (after my post-Race phone conference with my brother, of course). And today I have pretty much nothing to do at work for the rest of the afternoon so it’s making me crave naptime even more. But really, I don’t know why more people aren’t watching this show, because it rocks. It just keeps getting better and better. Well played, UPN. Don’t you dare cancel it. (Although maybe you can scoot it over to Wednesday at 9 so my viewing schedule will be easier. Thanks. Kisses!)

*******************

In other news, I’m going to a post-holiday party at a casino this weekend and I am so tempted to forgo my usual blackjack-playing and sit myself down at a poker table. Thankfully, they don’t have Texas Hold ‘Em tables, or the temptation would be much greater. But still – I want to be a badass and play poker. There is one slight problem with the whole idea, though – I’m horrible. My "skills" are the reason that I've only played strip poker once in my life. (When you're the sober one playing with a bunch of drunk people and you're the naked one? That's a problem.) I know how to basically play a smart game, but I have a real problem actually doing it. (Also, it’s much easier playing around at home when I’m playing with chips that don’t represent my actual money.) My whole problem is that I like to play too much. I don’t like folding one bit. I feel left out or something. It’s like I’m 8 years old and upset about my brother not including me in playing Star Wars with him and his friends. When my mother would sometimes make him include me, I always got stuck with the damaged Chewbacca with the green legs, who lived in “Bumtown.” Still, like I am with poker today, I wanted to PLAY! Therefore, while playing poker I will sit there with a crap hand and keep adding my little chips into the pot, thinking that I may get lucky even though there is virtually NO way in hell that I can even get a pair out of the hand that I have. I don’t know why I have such a thing about folding, but it just makes me sad. “Oh, but what if those last 2 cards will give me a straight? Well, there’s no shot after that first one. Oh, but maybe I can get some magical new hand, like a Royal Almost-Pair! Sweet! Here, take my chips, take them!!!1” [sigh] So sad. However, you know what makes me more sad? Losing my money. I will just have to remember that as I pass the tables and gaze at them longingly. Just someone remember to point me to the blackjack tables. Hell, that DVD recorder I want ain’t going to buy itself, you know?
