Long day

I started working three days ago and have already worked for 36 hours…with that in mind I won’t feel bad the days here when I only will work for five or so which days I know will come in the end of the Series. I will also try to make the days just before the Series start a little bit shorter otherwise I will collapse. Twelve hours days you can only manage for five or six days in a row then you get burned out totally and have no energy to write or being “up there” when it comes to motivation. Ah well. That’s my plan anyway.

Feels sad that the Series on my behalf is over. No more poker for me except if I play some cash games some time before I leave which I probably won’t.

This morning, like a lot of other mornings, I woke up by my father calling my room looking after my time of sleep. He’s worried that I sleep to much and gave me a long speech yesterday about how much I would sleep in my life if I would become 85 years old. Then I would sleep for 35 years. He’s right and I will be better. After talking to his and his wife mom called so I could talk a little bit with Casper. He was happy. They finally got his X-box installed, which apparently was a big drama last time he came and visited. He loves his video games more than anything *s*. It was nice to hear his voice even if it was hard hearing him say “mom come home NOW. I miss you”. It’s Two weeks and five days to I go back…

It has been nice to get some routines here and to be creative. Last week before the HORSE I was sooo unmotivated and didn’t feel like doing anything except sleeping. I need to be creative. It’s in my nature to be.

Except for the working I went with Maria to Fashion Show Mall today to take care of the stroller for Kim&Fredrik. They couldn’t help me get it to Sweden today but asked me to come back on Monday. Should have thought of it actually being Saturday night when I went there…

BUT I found some really nice stuff on the sales and bought like eight shirts and tank tops. I also went by Abercombie where I found myself a LOT. I will have sooo much stuff to carry leaving Vegas…I hope I don’t need to buy another bag.

Cicci arrives on Monday. Will be sooo nice to have her here. We talked about it today. We will basically spend the next month together. First for 2,5 weeks here in Vegas sharing a suite then we will only be at home for five days before we take the kids down to Spain (in my fathers apartment) and stay there for 12 days. If we haven’t killed each other by then we must be really good friends *haha*.

Nah, time for sleep. Almost six in the morning and planning on being at the Rio by noon to cover William and the rest of Team PS in the PLO.

Entusiasm

It feels good now, to have routines and a “normal” life which seemed to be impossible here as a player. It’s also interesting to cover the HORSE. I learned a lot actually even if I don’t do any hand history at all in the blog.

Tomorrow I have to go to Fashion Show mall to pick up the stroller for Kim&Fredrik. I will get it and then send it to Sweden. They are expecting the baby today so it should be here any minute. Can’t wait for them to send me a text. Most exciting is that Kim will have delivery at home. She actually already did with Vilja but that was a mistake. Vilja came out on their coach with Thyra eating breakfast in the kitchen and Fredrik on the phone with the hospital. Ha ha ha.

I also need to buy a new pair of jeans. I love my new ones and want to wear them every single day. I will buy another pair with another wash, same brand.

It’s only a few days before two of my favorite persons in the whole world arrives to Vegas. First there’s Cicci and then it’s Mad. Can’t wait!!!

Off to bed now and actually in a normal time for once. It’s only four in the morning. Gn gn

Cicci…

I’m glad we’re getting a suite because there’s NO room for your stuff in this small bathroom

Come quick!!!!

BTW…guess who got married? Camilla and Martin. Crazy people but so happy for them. They decided over lunch to get married and do it the Vegas style. In four hours they got a dress, a tuxedo, a limousine and married in the Elvis Chapel (of course). I was outside the tournament room when they came walking and got a CHOCK. Martin: take care of her, she’s the best!!!!

Busy night…

Late yesterday afternoon Andreas came and picked me up at Palms and we headed over to Premium Outlet to do some shopping. I almost didn’t buy anything for myself just stuff for Casper and a little gift for my niece Tilde and my nephew Julius. This is the thing. I bought so much stuff that I had to buy a suitcase so I can take it home…Andreas bought even more stuff than me!!!

When I came back to the hotel I got a text from William saying all of the Scandi’s were having dinner at Okada at Wynn so I got dressed and took a cab there. We were 16 people having dinner and we had a great time. Two own chef’s who made us lobster, shrimps and Kobe beef.

After the dinner we went with limousine to Pure. When we came up to the roof William was disappointed that we didn’t get the best table there was and wondered how many bottles it would take for us to get it. Snob!! After some drinks I had enough even though it was a great night out. I wanted to sleep early though I was starting to do the blog for PokerStars today. My plans didn’t end well. I didn’t go to sleep before eight this morning. I’m so fed up with all the drama at home at the moment and I just wished people stopped to drag me into the mess. There’s one thing to listen to a friend, there’s a total different with a which hunt and trying to blame me for the whole mess I don’t have anything to do with.

It was not just drama though. I talked to grandma, dad and some friends. It’s sooo nice to talk to the people at home. I miss them soooo much!

Back to work…blogging until 3am.

I sleep to much

Just woke up…like an hour ago. Damn…have so quit sleeping so much. I’m bored and then I sleep. It’s one more week until Cicci arrives and I know it all will be so much better then.

Yesterday I was playing at the Venetian again. Got sucked out a few times by two clueless American’s in there 40’s. Ah well. That’s poker and not much more to say about it.

I woke up by a few missed phone calls and a LOT of texts. Still to tired to call them back.

Tomorrow I start work again. I don’t feel like at all. I would prefer to just go back to rainy Sweden and have a great time with my friends and my family instead

Have to take a shower…Andreas is picking me up soon to go shopping.

Today’s word of wisdom: Stop dragging me into your chaos. I don’t have anything to do with it. I don’t care and I don’t think anyone else does either…

A weird day…

It started bad with me oversleeping to three in the afternoon. Not the best start either…I got a text on msn from my friend telling me I appeared on the biggest forum in Sweden and it was not a nice reading. One of my oldest friends called me a stupid blonde because of something I wrote in my private blog…it was all about the sensitive subject T6 poker and I wanted to defend myself. After two hours on the forum and on msn with a lot of friends I was exhausted. Slept for another 30 minutes before I went to the shower to be a human again.

At nine I went to Venetian to meet up with my three friends Andreas, Christian and Stefan to have dinner at the Italian restaurant there. When we were done, after three dishes wine and laughs, we went to play some poker. 2-5 was the game tonight and we played at the same table three of us. It was a good night for me. I ended 700 plus. Better than yesterday when I played 1-2 there…got outdrawn a LOT.

When I came home I feared that it would be chaos on the forum but it was actually calm. Of course some guys still wanted to nail me but the most important was that my friend took back his attack and that was the biggest part. Except this I got a lot of support from people on msn, in my blog at Aftonbladet and by emails. The best thing was the blog one of my old friends wrote on another poker site (his poker community). He said some really nice things about me and his words gave me my energy back. The energy I lost to have trust in my self no matter what anyone says.

My life is actually nice right now. I know I’m in good shape to get a sponsorship and that my life will change in a good way in the next month. I’m just a little bit fed up with Vegas but I have to be here for another 3,5 weeks to I will do the best out of the situation. Soon a lot of great people will be here and I know that it will be a great time when Cicci arrives.

Thanks to Evelyn for today’s quote: “you are nobody until somebody hates you”.

I did my best…

The cards, the flops, the turns and the rivers were all mean to me today…not much you can do then. I got down to 400 and worked myself up to start stack again which was good but I never got in the game. What can I say?

After busting out the tournament we, me and Lars (my friend and poker agent) went to Venetian to play some cash games for fun. I went like a ping-pong ball and ended a little bit minus. Didn’t care though. Had fun while playing…

At 10:30 I went back to Palms to get a shower and get dressed for a night out with Ram and the others. We all went to Tryst on Wynn. Was a nice night with a lot of great guys but I’m already fed up with party and this was the second time out since I arrived. Think I’, getting old or something but the party isn’t as fun as it used to be. I rather just share a bottle of wine with my friends and talk for hours

What’s wrong with some guys! Met a really nice and interesting guy today who I played with in the 2k. He was nice and everything but only in a friend perspective. I never gave him the idea I was interested in him in any other way. I’m not up to complicating my life by start seeing someone and I have never been the kind of girl who goes out to flirt on a nightclub. I was never flirting with the guy but for some reason he started to talk to my friends about me, he wanted to introduce me to his and when I told him that I wasn’t interested he said “but I got the impression you thought I was cute”. Isn’t a “NO” the same as “I’m not interested”? Why did he continue to try to convince me that I was actually interested in him? After giving him a glare and just turned away the guy finally got it and ten minutes he went away. I went out today with my friends because I knew it would be a fun night. All of them sees me as a friend and would never try anything. That’s the way I like it. Same thing when I was out on Pure earlier this week, with my friends, most of them are male friends. Same reason why I like to know where I have people and I hate ending up in situations as the one I got myself into tonight. Why does guy get the impression that a girl is into them just for being nice and polite?

I miss my daily ritual at home before going to bed: kiss Casper on the cheek before I turn off the lamp over his bed…I know it sounds weird but it’s lonely here and I really miss him. I will NEVER EVER be away from home for seven weeks again. It’s not worth it.

Time to sleep. Put up some pics on FB if anyone is interested…

Oups I did it again…

I’m totally hopeless. I went to pick up my new belt at Hermes and after getting the gorgeous thing I was in shopping mood AGAIN. We just went to one more store though…Barneys at Venetian. Found a pair of sunglasses and a gorgeous bag that I couldn’t resist! After the shopping we had some food before heading back to Rio where I was supposed to say hi to Lasse but he never showed up…called him after waiting an hour an then I called him…he was asleep. Haha!

I’m back at the hotel and just had an interesting call with a potential sponsor. Could be something…would for sure have one of the best in the same team if I signed with them *s*.

Nah heading for the shower…if I’m still awake in an hour I will go over to MGM to see Lasse. He’s trying to entice me with a House marathon and room service.

The bag is fab! Baaad picture

I love my new belt! Best thing is that it has two sides…

Bad shape

OMG…even though I slept for eight hours and didn’t leave the bed before eight tonight I’m in such a bad shape. We had a great time yesterday at Pure. Haven’t the energy to write more…back to bed to watch a movie…

Shopping…again…

Today I woke up by a phone call from Cicci. Again I didn’t go to the pool because I was up too late yesterday… After getting ready I went over to Monte Carlo to have lunch with the people there. Five of us didn’t have time for lunch though…they were stuck on “Wheel of fortune”. They found a hot machine and couldn’t leave. When we came back they were up to 1600. Wd boys!

We all went to Fashion Show Mall together where I once again got it confirmed that the cabdrivers here are stupid. We told them all to drop us off at Macy’s and two of them ended up at Nordstrom. LOL! When we finally met in there we split up in two groups; the once who were there to do a quick shop and the ones who was there until the bitter end (i.e. they close at nine). I was done at six and already bought too much stuff but found really nice things.

Tonight it’s party time. We’re all going to Moon here at the Palms. It’s Roof’s and Danny Ryans birthday party Will be nice. It’s the first time out for me since I got here…

T-shirt and Flip Flops from Ed Hardy

Hair stuff

Cute Flip Flops and pink Lacoste

Didn’t like “True Religion”-jeans when they first came but they fit very well and I can have them in size 26 which is awesome

No more shopping before Cicci gets here haha
