Gambling Alert Orange-red

I've got a bit of the Gamblor in me. Or, I did on Tuesday.

Today, I'm actually super-focused on work, but earlier this week I couldn't tear myself away from the TI Tourneys. I final tabled again, but bubbled. I think I played Sat, Sun, Mon and then on Tuesday, when I clearly needed a break, John came to me and said he wanted to put me into the Caesars women's tourney as practice for the Ladies WSOP. I rushed over there, still had work on my mind, and went out first. It was so embarrassing. And it's not like I got aces cracked or anything, one bad mistake left me weak and I couldn't get it back.

John and I are going up to San Francisco this weekend for a bit of a pre-wedding John tour. There are still lots of good friends and second families he hasn't met yet. Susan and the Brady's are enthusiastically throwing a cocktail party, I'll show up and the Bay to Breakers and somehow wog to the finish line and then my friend Dana has organized a picnic in the Presidio so we can hang out afterwards.

It comes at a good time. I don't want to spend the wedding fund on more TI tourneys this weekend.

So, I'm not at red. But it did reach a danger alert level earlier this week. I feel ok now, not needing to hit the pawn shop or anything. Last night we went to dinner with our two couples, friends that have also recently moved here.

Oh yeah, I also skipped boot camp yesterday, but that had nothing to do with gambling.

Off to raquetball, maybe I should bet John I'll beat him this time. Bad bet though, I haven't won yet.
