Ugh. Mornings.
My knees are killing me this morning. I'm almost positive that the weather is the cause, since it wasn't until I stepped outside into the ugliness that they started to swell up and hurt. Aryel's not here yet (I'm at Mullen) and I'm not sure if he's even going to be here today. I guess I'll just keep working on this catalogue and get a little homework done.
I'm out of coffee. :-(
And Aryel just showed up. :-)
I really needed that poker game last night to remind me that I haven't lost all sense of who I used to be. I've still got the nerve to challenge anyone, despite the fact that I'm a relatively small chick. I am more comfortable in a group of males, I always have been, and although I know at some point that may have to be put on the back burner, for now I'm at ease with that. I may have been the most surprised last night that I walked away with more than I started with. I felt that I had conquered something, and it was nice that the guys treated me like, well, just another guy. They had no problem talking about things I generally catagorize as "guy stuff" even though I was there, and that makes me happy too. I definitely wouldn't want to impose on their "guy time" or make anyone uncomfortable.
The best hand I played was against Skelton. We both kept raising, and at the end we both had flushes, but mine was higher (A-K, suited spades). That was a killer suspense hand, rivaled only by Gill's hand against Chuck to knock Chuck out. Chuck went all in, and Gill had A-4 pocket (not suited), and Chuck had 9-10 (not suited). The flop was 4-9-?, giving Chuck the upper hand, followed by an ace, followed by a 10. That was great too.
I gotta get back to designing stuff now. Later gator.
