"Here's the thing, if you can't spot the sucker in your first half-hour at the table, then you are the sucker."
Wake up early and go to the Casino with Dad to play some serious poker. On the way over, i'm feelin kinda cocky about it. I figure I'll be able to hold my own. We get there and i'm sick...nervous, butterflies...needing to throw up kinda sick. I pay up, get my seat and go have some coffe before we have to sit down. My hands are sweating and i'm sure I had a "please go easy on me..." look on my face. First few hands were folded because they were crap..won a couple hands, lost a couple hands...bought back in twice for $10 each time. Made it through the first hour. I look over and I see that Dad and I have about the same amount of chips. I feelin alright then i got too ballsy. Had the smallest chip count at the table i was at so i went all in to try and double up. Nada...busted...I was out. Dad was still going and i could hear him chuckle when they said..."Player down at table 4!" Anyway, good learning experience. I spent the rest of the day getting ready for the night. Running errands and talking to people on the phone about what times and places we were going. Ended up at Texas Roadhouse for dinner with a wonderful group of people. Thanks to everyone who came out. And thanks for the amazing gifts! I love them! Mom and Dad got me this amazing diamond right hand ring. wow..its gorgeous. : ) After dinner, we headed to the Cain's to watch The Hero Factor. It was supposed to start at 8 with 2 other bands before THF and it didn't start until 9 so...it was kinda boring until they actually started to play around 10:30. Ben wished me Happy Birthday from stage (thank you Lindsey Neal) and then Isaac Hanson showed up and sang some christmas songs with him! Haha, it was fun. Thanks to James for being the DD that night. : ) We appreciated you...and thanks for belting some serious Coldplay with me at 2 in the am.
Anyway, christmas was good and i'm getting a dog! I'm so excited. I just have to find a cute little perfect inside kind of dog. I've been trying to think of cool names. Kristin and I were in Love A Pet and i thought about getting a yorkie...She said I should name it Charlotte. : ) If you think of any cool names, leave them as a comment.
Here's more birthday shots...

So last night Lindsey Smith, Paige(her little from OU), and I went to Brookside to hop and I got out of the car and I hear a familiar voice...singing a very familiar song. We went into Brookside Bar and its not coming from there. I head to the middle of the street to find out if its coming from BruHouse..nope, not there either. I went next door to Suede and there he was...it was Ben singing "The Scientist". We went in, had a couple beers and then ben came over to say hey. I told him thanks for the birthday shout out and that i'd see him Sunday. The comedy of this is me...in heels...running up and down brookside trying to find where it was coming from..maybe you had to be there. Haha : )
