"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!

Cultivating relationships

Maintaining relationships demands effort; it's a mutual journey. Each party contributes, and amidst this exchange, bonds form—be it friendships or deeper connections. Some relationships necessitate more investment; sometimes, it feels like you're carrying the weight alone, striving to sustain the connection. Personally, I've struggled with nurturing friendships; perhaps due to youthful ignorance, where life felt boundless, consequences seemed distant, and self-centeredness prevailed. As age brings maturity, many friendships naturally drift away amid life's chaos and the challenges of adulthood. Reflecting on my past interactions often astonishes me; how did I manage any healthy relationships back then? Truthfully, I didn't. Those who I once considered friends, or who considered me as such, have vanished, leaving behind only fragmented memories—thanks, memory loss. Although forgetfulness might seem a blessing, the impressions we leave behind persist. This notion unne...

I'm being selfish

This week has been a whirlwind of emotions that I struggle to articulate. Attending the funeral of a childhood friend's father, who passed away unexpectedly, opened floodgates of nostalgia and sadness. We shared a bond through our mutual love for horseback riding, receiving our first ponies almost simultaneously. While we've drifted apart as adults, the news hit me hard. Our parents, similar in age and pursuits, faced the unimaginable loss of a husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. Witnessing my friend's grief and contemplating my own future in their shoes brought tears of empathy and fear. The inevitability of losing loved ones, a reality we often push aside, looms ominously. Reflecting on my relationship with my family, I realize how it's evolved over the years. From distant ties to a profound dependency, I now find solace and support in them daily. When my father suffered a heart attack, I was thrust into a surreal state of emotional numbness, only to cr...

Wow, it’s been a while since my last post in April! This year has been a whirlwind—it’s incredible how time flies. Big milestone: I turned 40! I still can’t believe it. I don’t feel 40, though; my mind says 20, but my body sometimes feels 70. 😅 I was lucky to celebrate with my family and closest friends, and my parents surprised me with my very first Louis Vuitton. She’s stunning! I also completed my MSF course, which means I can legally ride my motorcycle now! I recently took my Triumph Bonneville T120 on its first solo ride to work. It was nerve-wracking but exhilarating, and I’m hooked! My next dream bike is the Triumph Scrambler, so I can join my husband on some dirt road adventures. Unfortunately, I got hit with a really bad bug and was in bed for a week, which wiped out all my PTO for the year. This year marked our 10th wedding anniversary, and my parents gifted us a trip to Italy! With no more PTO left, we’ve had to push it to next year, but honestly, I feel good about having ...
