God what a gorgeous smile…

Well Suz and I made it through the weekend but I cannot say it was easy by any means. Hell my gut has ached the entire weekend just observing what she had to go through. Friday was a terrible day for her but when compared to the rest of the weekend it was indeed a cake walk. There was one tooth that when pulled removed a portion of her upper jaw bone. This caused her to have some extreme swelling which started on Saturday. Come Sunday we were forced to call the emergency number for the dentist as her right eye became blacker and blacker by the minute. He set her mind at ease telling her that this was expected with the extreme difficulty he had removing one of the molars.

To give you a visual of what she looked like on Sunday, if you have ever seen a celebrity police snap shot after they have been picked up for a dui, she looked a lot like that. At one point her right cheek looked like she had been in a car wreak. Her right eye looked like she had been hit by Mike Tyson with all of his force. I swear she walked into a door; I never touched her….lol.

Today we are just beginning to see the damage recede. Her eye is starting to turn that brownish orange color now as compared to the red, black, and blue bruised cooler she had over the past three days which would indicate that she is now past the worse of it and should be looking great in a few more days. With all of the swelling she has had it has been difficult to even see her new teeth but when you do see them they are frickin gorgeous white and perfectly straight. She is going to look like a movie star once she gets the chance to fix herself up for the first time, which will be some time next week as my check from the sale of my Mom’s house arrived today and a celebration is being planed even as I type this.

I am also buying her a new puppy that I promised her for her last birthday. She wants a female Yorkie of course at a cost of around $1800 (update… as I was typing this she found the one she wants which resulted in her dbl’ing up to $3000). We are getting the female in an attempt to offset the original cost of the dog by hopefully having a litter or two and selling the offspring. Hey an in home business that she would actually enjoy doing. Nothing gets better then that.

In closing I guess I should begin to use my blog for poker related stuff as well. I started with $20 that was staked to me by my best buddy Deal a little over 5 months ago. I ran steady getting up to as high as $60 and down as low as $12 at one time playing nothing but $1.10 sng’s About a week and a half ago Deal suggested that I try out the $2.20 satty’s, similar to the $5.50r satty’s that he has been owning for the last couple of months. The satty’s I have been playing in start every hour until around 5 pm pst when they start playing every half hour. They are satellites into the Sunday Hundred Grand tourney with a buyin of $11. For every satty I win I go to the main tourney and unreg and the $11 is deposited into my real money account in the form of Tournament Dollars which are used for buyin’s before your cash balance is used.

In the last week and a half I have increased my br to over $170 with an ROI of somewhere around 53%. These tourneys have been like printing your own money. I have found not one match either here on stars or ap that have come close to such an easy variance. These tourneys have turned my slow and painful reduction of br into a steady cash cow. They have truly given me the sense of being a winning player at this most difficult game known as Texas Holden. Not sure how Texas became the State named in this extremely addictive game but gg Texas for pulling that off. My preference would have been California Holdem for sure. I will from this point forward be posting more poker related stuff as this was the intent of my blog in the first place. Every now and then I may post things of a personal nature as I have done the last few days but for the most part Suz and I have overcome one hell of a huge hurdle this week and there probably won’t be that much exciting things to write about as far as we go. My goal now is to get enough money into my account to make my first withdraw. That indeed will be a day to celebrate for sure. It will also be a day that I prove to my darling wife that I can and will become good enough to bring home some extra cash playing poker.

My final words for today’s post are these…. Suzanne my one in a million wife, I love you with all of my heart and cannot wait until your feeling up to our big night out. As always you will no doubt be the best looking gal in the room, however, this time I guarantee you that you will also feel like the best looking gal in the room for sure. Your smile looks like a million bucks baby….Love You Mean It!!!!
