Budapissed

Up in Johnny’s room. Just watched him getting brutally bad beated on PokerStars, FT in 109+R. Still trying to do my best as a rail pro but I think I have to give up soon and go to bed. Very tired after the lack of sleep yesterday…

Got just a lil bit to drunk yesterday, just a tiny bit. Apparently I yelled to Frida in the hotel lobby when I came back from the party “I’m soooo drunk”. I guess I was a little bit more wasted than I thought. After looking through the camera pics I also realized I wasn’t the most sober person last night. Ah well. Had a great time and I didn’t have a hungover today so it was all worth it

I have loads of pics. Should get them on Facebook but internet is pretty much crap when you stay at a hotel with 500 poker players who all play online and do other stuff at the same time. Regarding the hotel…it’s G-R-E-A-T and so is Budapest! It’s even more than nice and G-R-E-A-T. It’s one of my now favorite towns and will be included in the list with Barcelona, New York, Gothenburg and Vegas. I wanna stay an extra week but I’m afraid that’s not possible since I have a funeral on Monday (yikes…still don’t wanna realize K is dead so I will have a chock then I think).

So tomorrow is day 1b. A lot of my favorite players on EPT will be there. Today was pretty slow actually. Only a few nice names to cover. In fact tomorrow will be very busy being a rail pro to all of them! Nice thing is that we finish every day after only eight levels and no dinner break!!

Ok…I’m off to bed. Hugs kisses and cookies from Budapest…

Lovely beds…I didn’t even wanna go up when the clock rang this morning

Hilda, Mad and Tori

Moi and Hildie

Group hug!!!

YAY! More “no smoking” pics…we’re collecting those from the entire world

Before the after party I put Mad to sleep

About the Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation:
The Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation was started in 1985 when Founder and President Carolyn Aldige first understood the power of prevention to defeat cancer — and recognized that too few of the country’s resources were used to promote cancer prevention research or education. Today, it is one of the nation’s leading health organizations and has catapulted cancer prevention to prominence. Since its inception the Foundation has provided more than $74 million in support of cancer prevention and early detection research and education programs. CRPF peer-reviewed grants have been awarded to more than 250 scientists from more than 150 of the leading academic medical centres nationwide. This research has been pivotal in developing a body of knowledge that is the basis for important cancer prevention and early detection strategies.

About Bad Beat on Cancer:
Bad Beat on Cancer was started a few years ago by Rafe Furst and Phil Gordon to help fund cancer research and prevention – by playing poker. They ask professionals and amateurs alike to donate 1% of whatever they win at the WSOP. They’ve been extraordinarily successful over the last few years, raising over $1 million for a very worthy cause. It’s a very fiscally responsible organization, nearly 86 cents from every dollar goes to the cancer research programs that they’re funding. It’s a great organization and they have most of the world’s greatest players signed up.

Finally back in Sweden…what a nightmare to get home…

We’re back in C-O-L-D Sweden! We should have landed in Stockholm yesterday afternoon but something happened with the plane just when we were leaving Alicante so we had to step out from the airplane and wait, and wait, and wait…we waited for six hours and then got the message that we wouldn’t leave until two in the morning so they took all 170 passengers to two hotels where we stayed until the bus picked us up at midnight. Nice arrangement from the company and a very nice hotel but hey come on…two in the morning when traveling with five kids is a nightmare. Our kids are well behaved and very patient but I really felt sorry for them when we woke them up after just two hours and took them to the airport. Casper slept the whole flight back home and when we came to our house eight in the morning we went to bed and slept to two in the afternoon.

At three today I took Casper to the doctor to get some medicines for his very bad coughing. He got loads of it the poor thing. I really hope it works! Still no improvement even though the medicines are strong but hopefully they will help soon.

Home for five days now before leaving to budapest on Monday. Will be nice. Off to bed, still exhausted after the very long day yesterday.

More pics from Spain

At Habaneras shopping

My fathers wife was very happy about the things she shopped while we had coffee

After Habaneras Fredrik made us all a lovely three courses dinner at my fathers place

On Saturday we went to Benidorm to go to Terra Mitica

Four tired kids at the airport in the middle of the night…

El tired ninos…

El tired familyos

Long day yet again

Another three days has passed here in Espana and I don’t wanna go home to Sweden at all!!!! I wanna stay here, relocate to Spain and never see snow again *s*.

Going back to Sweden on Monday. Might go down to Gothenburg and visit Cicci and Noah in the end of next week.

Here’s a lot of pics from the last days…

The kids have more than four ice creams per day here in Spain *s*

Casper got a new haircut, not a day to early!!!

After Casper and me it was time for daddy…all had the same hairdresser

Not many rules at El Paraiso that we didn’t break

El Rancho

There’s nothing you can’t find in my step-mom’s purse…water, two perfumes, one mirror, a brush, one big calendar, one shoehorn and a LOT of other things. Not the nail file I requested though.

While we were waiting for the dinner we watched the horse school where a woman fell of her horse and landed so bad that she laid on the ground for more than half an hour before the ambulance came. When they made an ultrasound they also found out she was pregnant which she didn’t know.

Sooo nice out on the ranch in the middle of the night

It have been a VERY warm week

Shopping at Habaneras

Kim

Agneta was very happy about her shopping

We think Cas is a little bit in love with Li. Here he is fixing with her hair while she plays on his Nintendo DS (which he wont let anyone else do)

Dinner at dad and Agneta which Fredrik cooked for us. Lovely dinner!!!

Today we went to Terra Mitica in Benidorm

Me and Vilja went to the small amusement park where they had stuff she could try

Kim didn’t like the big roller coaster while I had a total blast…

Fredrik liked it a little bit more even if the both of them are chickens *s*

Time to say good bye to Terra Mitica…

On our way back from Benidorm we ate at Burger King…Casper was so happy they had Tranformers Kids boxes.

In the middle of the tour…

I’m in Spain for eight days. Didn’t think I got enough traveling with all the EPT’s (yes I do…it’s a joke) so I decided to go to Spain to see my father and his wife with Casper. When we told this to my friends Kim and Fredrik they decided to join us. They rented a nice big apartment like 15 minutes walking for my dad’s place in the central of Torrevieja outside Alicante. Me and Casper arrived on Sunday while “the family” of four kids arrived on Monday. Since none of them have a driving license I’m their driver for this week and we rented a big bus for nine people that can take us all around. On Monday morning I went to pick it up and then went to the airport 35 minutes from here in Alicante to pick them up.

The last two days have been spent at a pool called Paraiso and eating tons of lovely food. I’m not kidding if I say I must have put on at least a kilo by now and more to come before we leave. I’m to tired at the mornings to go out with Kim and run, shame on me. Tomorrow we’re going beck to the same pool but at two o’clock me and Casper is going with dad+A to the hair dresser to get a haircut. I’m not really in need of one but Casper is baaad. Haven’t cut his hair since we went to Spain last time which was in July.

On Saturday we’re planning to go to Benidorm (1,5 hour driving) and Terra Mitica, the amusement park. Nothing else planned really, we do it like the Spanish people and say “manana manana”. We go back to rainy and cold Sweden on Monday. Hopefully I will give you guys some more updates before this (for the Swedish readers: I update this one every day but to lazy to do them both).

Here’s some pics from the last days…

Cas at the airplane with his math books…they haven’t started with math in school yet but he’s really interested in it so we bought his some books and he manages to do everything in them without any hesitation what so ever…

We went up four in the morning so he fell asleep EVERYWHERE – here on the beach having lunch

The week started with very bad weather but high humidity

Picked “the family” aka Kim, Fredrik, Li, Thyra, Vilja and Sidney at the airport in our BIG rented bus. We had to stop twice though the kids we’re ill and threw up – yikes

Father and son

Thank you god for giving us Nintendo DS

The kids were very fascinated by the living lobsters at Carrefour

After the loooong food shopping we had a little “coffee time” with A LOT of sweets

Sid seems to love Spain

At the beach walk

First day was a VERY long day for the kids

Time for ice cream

The BIG bus! Do you see the parents in the front seat with the “ugly fingers” up? Fredrik is like a big child and when I drive the funniest thing he can come up with is to turn the warning signals on…Kim on the other hand always turns them off and tells him how childish he is *s*

More sweets

Another tapas dinner

“Eat up your food or else…”

Casper in my cardigan, just a little bit to long

Cold kids waiting for lunch

Me in my little Stars cap

The first paella since we arrived to Spain…Kim had one today

“Fuck you right back” mo ha ha haaaaaa

Los kids+los pool

Time for shopping at Habaneras

First we had some ice cream

Very happy mom who got the biggest ice cream of them all

The dad got a little bit of tasting before it was empty

Happy baby!

Oh poor Fred, did you pee in your pants? Maybe it was me with a bottle of water who knows

No problem to go shopping with five kids as long as you bring Nintendo DS

Tomorrow it’s no more brat look for Casper with his very loooong hair. Here in his new outfit from Zara. He also got some cool hoodies and other stuff.

After another nice tapas dinner tonight (at a old fashion tapas place, not the tourist crap they serve at the beach) we went to have some coffee and the kids got some more ice cream. When we were done I had NO CLUE where I parked the bus so we had to walk around looking for it for fifteen minutes.

Lazy bichhhh

I’ve been to lazy, or actually I haven’t had time to blog here for a long time cause of my other three blogs.

Last time been spent with poker. Either I’ve been blogging from live tournaments or I’ve been at home with Casper (and tried to play as much poker online as possible). Yesterday I came home from a loooong week in London. It was a great week but very busy. I put a lot of pressure on myself lately to give my readers a nice blog from the tournament area. I hope I succeed

First days in London was spent at Empire Casino watching the WSOPE. A lot of fun railing and so nice to not have a lot of pressure on me and that I was able to put down a lot of time to take great pictures. On Tuesday it was time for the welcome party with PokerStars at the night club Café de Paris. A nice evening but a little bit too late so the first day of the tournament I was soooo tired. The week continued and finally we had a great final table to cover. Three of my favorites were on it and one of them won!! Gooo Michael. The day after it was time for the highroller’s FT and this time another favorite player won: Jason! Two great guys with two well deserved victories. WD WP GG!

Came back to a V-E-R-Y cold Sweden. Spent the whole night in the couch watching tv and talking on the phone. Today I’ve spent it the same was as yesterday but as for tomorrow I will try to not sleep all day long and actually do something. The plan is to take Noelia and her youngest daughter to go curtain shopping. I don’t need any right now but she does as she just moved here to suburbia five minutes walking from me. It’s so nice with two of my closest friends close. Kim and Fredrik lives five minutes the other way

I miss my little ghost. Will pick him up from his father on Saturday and on Sunday morning we’re off to Spain for eight days vacation. Can’t wait!! We will stay with my father who I will try to help setting up a wireless network to. It’s nice for my family I used to be a support technician before this *s*. We arrive on Sunday, Kim&Fredrik and their four kids arrive Monday.

Back to the couch and watch all the new downloaded episodes of all my favorite shows.
