Happy New Year!! It’s been a while and I’ve been running all over Vega$ and CA for the holidays. And while my pals are in the Bahamas now for PCA enjoying themselves without me, my new year has started on a good note! I’ve had 3 winning sessions thus far. Playing some live $1/$2 and $2/$5 and have been able to bank a few grand in a few days. Not too shabby at all. I feel really good about 2010. I really believe this is going to be a great year for me!! Less bad beats = more $$$ = more ballin’. About time.
I’ve already looked and booked my LA Poker Classic Schedule too. February is going to be tourney central at the Commerce. Can’t wait! I know qualifiers are also gonna start soon for the EPT and I will be aiming to make it to San Remo and Monte Carlo in the Spring.
As for the new year, I ended up staying in the condo to watch the fireworks on tv, but I could hear them outside loud and clear. It was a bit disappointing. Would’ve been better if every hotel on the Strip participated. The family had a fun time in Vega$. Dad and I played together, Mom shopped like crazy, and sis and Boogs roamed around but enjoyed playing video games too. Played a lot of L4D & L4D2. I really need to get back on the COD: Modern Warfare 2 track. I also wanna get started on Borderlands. So many games, too little time.
The diet is off to a good start and I promised BFF I would really try hard. She thinks I can drop the weight quickly as long as I stick to “her diet plan”. This is pretty much no carbs for 4 weeks and eating smart. I’ve loaded up on raw veggies, peanut butter, and cheese. And drinking a lot more water too. Ugh. Eating a lot of salads too! I really like Panera so when I’m craving fer a big ass burrito, I’ll go to Panera instead and get the ½ soup, ½ salad. Yummy! Ordering salads at the casino too. Ugh. Rabbit food is jank!
BFF will be back in Vega$ again next weekend and we’re gonna hit the restaurants again and watch Lion King. Two weeks ago we went to Julian Serrano and Mesa Grill and my fave, Mon Ami Gabi. We also had dinner at Nora’s in Summerlin. It’s our favorite place and the sommelier loves us now! Good food and great wine! Can’t ask fer more than that! We also went to QUA spa at Caesar’s for some relaxation. Got a much needed massage. Always a great time with BFF! I love you, BFF! Then the following week I’ll be cruising along the Mexican Riviera. I’ve never been on a cruise before so I’m excited but a bit nervous too. 7 days on a boat? Hmm, don’t know if I’ll make it. We hit Cabo, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta. Hope to take a land excursion. Haven’t decided which one yet. Dad says I will be fine cuz they have a casino onboard. Hmm, ok.
So my calendar is pretty much booked til the end of February. The family will be back in Vega$ the last week of March again as I got a 4 day comp at Palazzo. More fun awaits! In the meantime, just grinding as usual. 2010 is good thus far. Only 358 days left so I betta enjoy it. Happy New Year to all and may this year bring better health, more happiness, less bad beats, and more food! Now go win!
