Well- as of April 15th, the government shut down the three biggest online poker sights (Full Tilt, Absolute, and Pokerstars). I have been gambling on fulltilt for years, and have enjoyed it as a form of entertainment. It is probably a good thing that I will no longer be able to gamble online, since I probably spent more time and money on there ( Read more... )

I love playing internet poker...a lot! I woke up this morning, made a pot of coffee, entered a $11 turbo tourny, won it. Instead of "quitting while you're ahead" like I should, I of course just started a $22 one ( Read more... )

I was trying to remember my user name and password to livejournal so I didn't have to create a new blog on an entirely different website. To my surprise, I actually remembered it and was happy to see that people still use this thing *laughs* I used to blog on here all the time. I don't know what happened...life I guess. My last post was over ( Read more... )

Darcy and I went home a couple weeks ago for Angela's wedding and to look for apartments. To my suprise, there were many to chose from, despite the fact that we were looking for August rentals "too early". We actually had a difficult time chosing where to live. I am sure we will be at our "new place" for a few years at least. Here are some pics ( Read more... )

Sometimes, I feel like Scrooge, watching and hearing about my life in Rochester, as I live down here in ( Read more... )

I guess I have been so infatuated with myspace that I totally forgot about my LJ roots *laughs* Well, I really enjoy living down south! The weather is great, people are friendly, and we're incredibly close to Nashville TN :-) We caught a show with Sara and Sean Watkins, ( Read more... )

The school year is coming to a close and I am looking foward to summer! Last week, I took the middle school kids to the Hochstein school of music for an evaluation and they did a wonderful job. They received a rating of Superior (the highest rating). I was very proud of them, and I think they learned a lot from the experience. I have 4 more ( Read more... )

I have not been MIA....even though it may appear that way since I have not posted in LJ since the beginning of February. It seems as though everyone has taken to myspace...I was thinking about creating a profile there, but it just seems like it would be something else that I would have to keep updated. Who knows...maybe I will. It seems like a ( Read more... )

I had Elem All County today.....I didn't go yesterday because I had a rehearsal. When I got to the school this morning....I was the only teacher there. I was kinda confused, but whatever.....I took attendance, got the kids on the bus, and we headed off to Honeoye. I found out that the kids needed to know movement IV of this Bartok piece they ( Read more... )
