vegas report

well, a few things came out of this weekend.

First, I love Andrea and she is fucking rockin'. She is funny and smart adn so my hetero lifemate. She will laugh hysterically with me but also be a great ear when i need one so badly. Kudos to my Andrea on being amazing.

Second, Jason is really the greatest man I have ever met. I am contsatntly amazed at how clearly he sees things and how honest he is about everything. He is so incredible. He just gets me so well and I am so thankful that he still cares so much about me even though I am so obviously flawed. I can;t wait to get to spend my life with him.

Third, never doubt a hunch. All weekend I was convinced I was gonna get a royal flush on video poker - that is the best you can do. That is 4000 credits if you are betting max, which I was. Well, Sunday, working on day 2 of the same hangover, while sitting at the Thirsty Camel after giving up on blackjack cuz I was worried I might puke on the table, I did it. Andrea was standing next to me, I was dealt an ace, queen, ten of diamonds along with 2 other shitty cards. I threw away the 2 shitty cards and lo and behold - the jack, king of diamonds comes up. I almost peed myself. I won $1000 on quarter video poker. It was insane. It was a coup. A thousand dollars. That money redeemed the weekend. It made it ok that I had lost $600. It made it ok that Andrea and I were so sick from staying up til noon drinking on saturday. It ade it ok that I make some crappy judgement calls. It made it all ok. iT even made my hangover go away for like a good half hour. A thousand dollars.

So, here's to Vegas and the money I won. Here's to my Andrea who met her future husband this weekedn (he thinks he can beat me at trivial pursuit, isn;t that adorable??). Here's to Jason and all that he is. Here's to being hom and starting to finally feel normal again. I figure by the end of the week I will actually feel right.

A thousand dollars.
