you gotta know when to hold 'em...
Gambling has always been something that for the most part has baffled me. As amazing as I may be with math, the whole understanding of race betting, odds, and even the system of poker bidding has been mind-boggling to me. So I'm setting forth to figure it out. Going first to The Gambling Guide, reading up on the aforementioned ideas.
there's more where that came from...
Woah, where to begin? Let's go with the poker guide: they've got an interesting run down of Texas Hold'Em (the game they play on Celebrity Poker.) That goes so far as to explain the intricate terminology, some strategy (always important & helpful), as well as the game's history & origin.
Each of their seperate sections lay out rules, verbage, strategy, and odds. Then they direct you through to the best (& worst?) places to play. From Rugby & Racing to Lottery & Casino information they've got all your gambling interests/needs covered. There's even an enlightening section just for the bingo phenomenon!
...enough already!

the truth about chocolate chips.
Today I, asked Elizabeth exactly what it is that she chooses to substitute in her Cold Stone concoction (same thing , every time!) She informed me she switches the chocolate chips out for PeanutButter cups. Then she expounded, enlightening me to the fact that the chocolate chips are, "just too much chocolate concentrated into one tiny bite!"
I just nodded and agreed as one might when a random woman walks up to you exclaiming, "PurpleMarshmellows" emphatically in your face! Because, you see... the rest of what she was consuming consisted of chocolate ice cream, chocolate fugde, chocolate brownies... and then the substitution: a chocolate peanutbutter cup. yeah! the chocolate chips would totally throw off that otherwaise well established 'balance'!
there's more where that came from...
Otherwise, the afternoon was super-duper fun! We each got a great find/buy. Yumminess entered our tummies. And, more importantly, we talked each other's ears off!
It's so nice to get to be real, sincere, and just raw with someone. Getting much needed confusion off the chest, into wordss, and sent straight up to Heaven in intermittent pleas/prayers. I got her to understand how I don't really understand the whole 'bad boy' phenom. While she enlightened me to the little known fact that "chocolate chips are just too much chocolate concentrated into one small bite!" That and something along the lines of, 'The things I say don't always have meaning!'
good times!
...enough already!

I love to shop sales, promos, and great coupons. Especially when it comes to Old Navy. Online they always have their $5 shipping, so really it's worth saving myself the drive. Plus now, with the advent of Old Navy online coupons, I can always assure myself to nab the best deal possible!
*off to shop*

Beth & I are quasi-scheduled to hit PTown today... (granted she figure out whatever it is she needs to figure out with miss trés?) Mostly the whole 1/2 off clearance thing at Torrid, and oh... Cold Stone call us. Should be fun.
