Day 27&28 : Drama and Poker

Who doesn't like some drama? Or poker for that matter?

Yesterday, Sunday, we all kind of hung low. Relaxed, BBQ, pool and played poker.

Ryan (Rich's brother), got ahold of me and pushed me in the pool when I was still wearing my work out clothes. I went to the pool after the gym...it's a nice cool down.

Ryan: I'm gunna getcha
Me: NO NOT THE SHOES! NOT MY CUSTOM MADE SHOES! (I kick my feet and my shoes off within a milisecond before I got thrown into the pool)
Rich: Damn Steph, I'm impressed, you got those shoes off fast
Me: Well, they are important to me and I do not want to ruin them!

Virginia got me these amazing shoes before I left for Florida. She got me the exercise shoes because she believes in my fitness and success! She is pretty awesome.


Then, we went on to poker at the horse racing track. I placed 33rd out of 116 which is pretty awesome if you ask me. Rich finished about 34th. We did pretty well! There was this ignorant, drunk smelly old man at my table. UNFORTUNATELY. He thought he was all hood and badass because he was from NY and knew where Bridgeport was in CT. What a trash bag. He kept cursing, hitting on me and others, throwing chips, stealing chips and starting fights with people.

MAN: I don't give a sh*t. I've been married four times I do what I want! (Throws chips)
Me: I can see why you were married four times.

He went off on a rant but whatever. Toolbag.


Today, Monday, we were supposed to go see some Big Cats, but we couldn't do that because the people at groupon suck and screwed up the hours of operation for the Big Cat Rescue! SO, once again we relaxed, worked out, gym, pool, BBQ and poker with a lot of friends. We played Apples to Apples too! Always a fun game.

There was a little arguing today. I think it is a stressful environment for everybody. Having visitors all the time and not getting any time to yourself--even though our visitors are loved. It just gets hard. R and I argued about me going home, so did Rich and I.

I know they love me and they mean well. They have done so much and sacrificed so much for me to be here. They are great people and truly have been a blessing to me. We all went to church together on Sunday too...the service was great and powerful. I love singing about my faith! It is pretty liberating and just a wonderful thing to be able to inhabit.

Anyways,

I love you guys. <3

Stephanie.

P.s. I know I leave some things out, but just call or text me and I will tell you all you want to know!
