"He can't read my poker face"

My like for playing poker is turning into an obsession. Now that ive learned {let me rephrase that, I'm 'learning'} how to play! {i am oooh so proud of myself i can check that off my list! CHECK!} I have it on my iPhone and I play allllllllllllllllllllllll the time! I can't even put it down while I'm driving, which is probably just as bad as texting and driving. {oops} its seriously thrilling! I don't play with real money and I still haven't been to an actual casino. For the most part it's probably a good thing because I'd for sure be broke while picking up a gambling addiction. {well thats just awesome!} I've been fortunate enough to have friends that have poker nights and invite me along to play. Sometimes for fair amounts of cash but most of the time, just for chips. {and not the kind that you eat} They are all more advanced and a lot faster than myself, but they suck it up and let a newbie into the game. It's difficult for me to have a 'poker face' since I have a variety of facial expressions that are all dead give away of the cards that I'm holding. {big surprise there!} I either have to bluff it or bluff that I'm bluffing to bluff the bluff that I need to bluff? {what?!} LOL I look forward to poker night even though most of the time I lose. :-( I've folded on hands that I could have won because I get too nervous or I don't realize that I had a good hand and could have won everyone's money. I don't see being a card shark anywhere in my near future. Trying to mind read what my fellow pokerist might play is tricky and no one will tell me! I might have a good hand, but someone might have a better hand and how much am I willing to risk to find out? Or maybe the next card will be the card I need to win? Should I just fold? Maybe? It's nice to know that I can take risk. It's just a card game and I find it fun. It keeps me on my toes and gives me the chance to give money away to my friends. CHECK!

2026

 Where do I even begin? I got sick a few days before New Year’s Eve and ended up ringing in 2026 sick. Is anyone surprised? Because I’m not. I was down for a full week with a terrible case of strep throat—and I don’t even have tonsils. My doctor basically said I’m just prone to strep… because of course I am. Just my luck. Let’s back up to a few days after Christmas. My husband goes on his annual hunting trip every year, which is usually why I end up ringing in the New Year alone. But this time, I decided to go with him. We packed up the Frenchies, Bruno stayed with my sister, and we headed west for a long weekend of hunting. He always brings a couple of deer home, and that meat lasts us through the year. I know hunting isn’t for everyone. We don’t kill for sport—we hunt for food, and we use every part of it. This was actually my first time going to truly hunt. I’ve been out to the land before to shoot guns, fill feeders, and hang around camp… but I’d never gone hunting until now. I...

My sister and I took an early 7 a.m. flight to New York for her birthday. The night before, I had put on a new Dexcom, but just as I was leaving for the airport, I got a notification telling me to remove it immediately because it was defective. Cue me frantically trying to replace it without crying—definitely not the smooth start I’d pictured. At the airport, I somehow ended up at the wrong gate while my sister was at the correct one. I went through security alone and made it to what I thought was our gate, waiting by myself for about 20 minutes… until my sister called, annoyed, asking where I was. She thought I was running late and was now rushing through security, while I was already calmly sitting at the actual gate, ready to board. We finally met up, I apologized for the mix-up, she forgave me, and we grabbed some coffee. Caffeine in hand, we headed back to board—only to discover we were surrounded by a group of about 20 teenagers on a school trip to New York. My sister and I aren’...

It’s hard to put into words where this world is headed. I don’t share political opinions or push my religious beliefs on others. Instead, I choose to stand firm in my faith while seeking understanding and finding ways to relate to what’s happening in today’s political climate. As a "younger" person, based on what we’ve been taught and learned growing up, the way to make a difference is by speaking up, showing up, and advocating for your rights. So how do we not feel silenced when we see a young man gunned down simply for standing up for his faith and his rights? Times like these make you question how much you want to share on social media. Will I be judged or even persecuted for my faith? But I remember what my mom told me when I was younger: if anyone ever asks about my faith, I should always stand up to say that I am a Christian. No matter your political beliefs or religion, this act of hatred is completely unacceptable. A life was taken, a murderer acted with violence, chi...
