Good Day

So, yesterday was Secretary's Day and I didn't even realize it until I walked into work and there was a card on my desk with a visa gift card tucked inside! I was really surprised and happy.

Then, a few hours later I get this beautiful delivery from Edible Arrangements.



They even added chocolate covered strawberries to my basket because I'm such a chocolate addict. And they even bought us lunch yesterday! It was a really good day. I'm so lucky to have my job. They really take good care of us here.

So, tonight I'm going to the movie premier of "Deal" starring Burt Reynolds and Shannon Elizabeth and Jennifer Tilly is in it too. It's over at the Palms - I love the Palms. I'm super excited. I think it's going to be a really good time - plus it's a poker movie, so how can it be bad????

The person that invited me is super sweet and good company, so it's going to be a good time for sure. And, as an extra added bonus - I am finally going to check out Moon in the Playboy Tower. I love the GhostBar, so I'm sure I'll love Moon too.

Movie description...


"Alex Stillman is a cocky, hotshot, card-playing senior at Yale University. Alex dreams of becoming a professional Texas Hold'em poker player but does not yet have the skill to master the table. Fortunately for him, a chance encounter introduces Alex to retired poker legend, Tommy Vinson. Tommy was at the top of his game twenty years ago but gave it all up in order to save his family. Upon meeting Alex, Tommy realizes he can regain his own self-confidence, pride and a poker championship title by turning Alex into his protege. The two pair up and master every tournament they enter. The winning streak and friendship between the two is eventually thwarted by the interference of a Las Vegas call girl, Michelle. The pair eventually part ways and separately prepare for the World Poker Tour. Only one will take home the championship title. "


I think the movie is in theaters on Friday - and that's tomorrow! This week is flying by!

Wow, does that movie sound like it's gonna suck.

Try not to get too aggravated by the unbelievable poker and hackneyed plot.

Enjoy it for the chance to get out and hang out with someone fun!

Did you see the Drew Barrymore poker movie (Lucky You?) That was a waste of film.

Hope this one is much better and you enjoy it.

I am super jealous about the movie. I want to see it. And why is everyone blogging about food today? Now I want fruit salad. :)

That movie description sounds like "The Hustler" and "The Color of Money" with poker instead of pool. If they can't be original with the plot, it means bad things for the movie. I hope it is good for your sake.

In less than 350 hours I too will be at the Palms - what a nice break from Texas.
