Who are these dogs?

OK... I will always be a UGA fan, I went to school there for more years than I can count... and I love the team. But good god, we lose to Vanderbilt AND Kentucky and then give Florida a run for it, and beat Tech. I swear to god, these Dogs are crazy!

A house always looks better when you have a dining room table, after 6 months of eating on the floor we finally found one. It was perfect! Cheap, good looking, and easily replaceable when we get one we really want... perfect I say!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, Estie and I were suppose to meet some friends for an evening buffet but apparently EVERYONE in Vegas goes to eat out on Thanksgiving. The line was 2 hours long, the casino was overflowing, and several of us had to work overtime... So it ended up being dinner at a Mexican place and some Pai-gow and drinks until 11. Still a good time, and we felt just fine!

The weekend before Thanksgiving Estie and I went and watch what was MY first live rugby game. I don't understand how those guys play that game... They run full speed at each other, dive on each other, and beat the living snot out of everyone on the field. They do all of it in shorts and a t-shirt and with no padding at all. It almost seems like cheating!

Trevor and I went to LA as I discussed last time, but the excitement really came on Monday morning when I got up to return the rental car we had taken and it had a flat tire! Apparently there was a nail in the tire, and it had vacated the premises. So I had to change the tire, drive it to the auto shop to flat fix the tire, and then return the car. Yummy... but the cool thing was I got to lay down on the ground, get my hands and clothes all dirty and come home and go "Look how dirty I am honey". I felt like a real mechanic for about 20 secs until I realized all I had done was change a tire....

I leave for my cruise on Saturday and Estie and I have been talking. The more contacts I make in the industry the more I really don't want a full time job. I am currently leaning towards just staying on the extra board until the WSOP next year when I can decide better what I want to do. I have cruises, the WPT Mirage, WPT Mandaly Bay, Tunica events, as well as some Bellagion events to work... So it just makes more sense to be able to come and go as I please, always be able to get 25-30 hours a week when I want it at Imperial Palace, and have a spot ready to go full time if I want it after the WSOP next year. There are some drawbacks in that I won't be getting predictable shifts, no insurance, no benefits, etc... but you have to give up a few things to have some freedome. I am not sure I can survive with just 2 weeks of vacation anymore!
