It's Sabotage!


As I posted last week (at least I think it was last week), I've been trying to eat a bit healthier in order to get my jeans to fit the way they used to last year...well, last night the boyfriend brought home some girlscout cookies! Or as I refer to them, crack in a box! What do those girls put in those things that make them soooo tempting? Even the box is like a magnet, pulling you uncontrollably toward it...and we didn't even open the Thin Mints yet.

In other news: I had a gig on Monday night at a nightclub called Tao. It was their employee party, they even hired a company to do the bartending and stuff so that everyone could come. Well, I'm not so great with the club scene, and the hours there seemed to drag on forever. Luckily by the end of the night, I had done a couple good magic sets that I was proud of, but I was really glad when the clock struck midnight and I could leave.

The gigs are slowing down quite a bit now, and with my other show on hiatus, it's going to be tight this month. I just submitted for a job dealing poker at a special event...I don't think I stand too much of a chance getting it because though I'm great with cards and can deal poker quite well, I don't have any casino experience...oh well, it was worth a shot.

Here's how you can look stylish while you play poker!

Friday's Favorites

Before we get to the favorites, I have two bits of news...

First off, every Thursday, my friends and I get together for a home poker tournament. Yes I know I live in Las Vegas, and can go to a casino at anytime, but most of the time I find it a lot nicer to kick back with friends, deal out the cards and let the taunting begin. Well, last night I came in second. Woot! Woot! I do feel bad taking money from other starving artists...well...only a little...besides, they've done the same to me on one or two occasions.

Second off, I got another sale! Yay! My "Shades of Salmon Entrelac Scarf" sold last night...I think I kind of freaked out my dog by doing a happy dance...in fairness to her though, it probably looked like an epilectic fit.

Now on to the favorites! This week I went through my etsyknitters team and at first looked for Thanksgiving items (it's almost time for turkey you know) and since there weren't too many, expanded my search to fall!

Embrace the fall because the winter will soon be upon us!
