Poker:
Congrats to Iak and Hoy for their work in the FTOPS. Kudos!!!
And for something that will make you laugh so hard, stuff will shoot out your nose (I know, I know, it's gross to think of, but trust me on this. Have tissues or a handkerchief at the ready), click here.
Recaps: DADI - wasn't the first one out like in the Mookie the night before, but pretty damn close. CC's Thursday Bash - it was a limit tourney by mistake, something I'm not that good at (but Kat, I hear you ask, just what poker variant are you good at? Pffffffttttt!). Lets just say the one thing I do like about limit is that you get a lot of time for your tourney buck - takes longer to lose. And lose I did. Quel surprise *grin. Thank you to CC for your post game conversation and advice.
On a positive note, I'm currently in second place for his four week cash bonus thing. I could make a fortune on side bets for me bubbling out of it....my records show I've bubbled 12 times in SnG's and MTT's in the last 3 weeks. Painful.
This kind of sums up how I feel about poker at the moment (I NEED one of these shirts!!) :
Non-Poker:
Now those who know me, know I am not a girlie girl by any stretch of the imagination. I mean, I used to look like this for gods' sake! (I'm on the left btw)
I don't shriek at the sight of a mouse or spider, own enough makeup that it would fit in a cigarette package, only need the smaller side of the closet for my clothes, don't much like chick flicks or chick lit, would rather sleep in flannel than silk (although I really prefer sleeping in the buff), and own NOTHING that is pink. And frankly, most days I'd rather go to the dentist than go shopping.
I often wonder when they're going to revoke my estrogen license.
But sometimes, just sometimes, I feel the need to cross over to the pink side. I watch French Kiss, read sexy novels (I can't give in all the way to trash, like Harlequins *shudder), use the expensive bubble bath, give myself a facial.
And sometimes, just sometimes, I am invited to partake in the girlie ritual of a slumber party, grown up style.
Tawny has planned such a party for Saturday, which coincides with the night my pal, the Martini Goddess, is venturing in to the Big Smoke for a weekend of getting in touch with one's chick side (brunch, shopping, martinis). T won't let us bring any drinks, but instead has concocted a drinks menu of libations to chose from. Check out her site...the clever girl has named them after OPI nailpolish colours!!
We do however have to bring a bottle of OPI nailpolish with a shade name that best describes us. Now OPI is known for it's professional grade polishes AND clever punny shade names. I have spent too much of my day looking through their site for the colour I should bring. The finalists are:
I'm Not Really A Waitress.
I love this colour!
A-Rose at Dawn...Broke by Noon
Now while I don't normally like pink or rose, I think I might have to make an exception in this case, as the name seems to sum up my poker life lately *grin.
Ah, but then there's this one, named for that pokery Holy Grail: Royal Flush Blush
Yes, that is the sum total of my difficult decisions today. But only because I haven't played any poker yet.
And btw, if anyone wants a Dial-A-Shot from a room full of drunken women with great pedicures, let me know (Jules and Joanne, you're already on the list *grin).

I will keep my phone lines open all night!!
OMG..I am SO dying of jealousy. Yeah, yeah, yeah..I CHOSE to go to the other side of the world, but you just guaranteed to find a reason I would regret it for one night.
Have fun babe...I will be awaiting the phone.
Go with the first one. Ive seen your pics from Vegas. Your dark hair and the brighter red = Winnah Winnah!!! Vamp it up Kat!!!
Dont forget to paint your toes and have a blast. Play some girly poker too. No raising, play any two sooted cards and make sure you call all the way to the river no matter what.
