Sowwy

So I'm getting yelled at for not giving a blog update recently, but I WARNED you all in one of my last posts that I would be busy!!

Anywho, I have moved now, and am 95% unpacked in TWO days. I rock. The only thing I have left to do is unpack my books and VHS videos (We have a TON!) but I need to buy a bookshelf or two before doing that, so they will sit in my new laundry room until I've gone shopping.

One thing that some people don't know about me is that I am a big, I mean HUGE, Princess House collector. For those that don't know, Princess House is crystal and is usually bought from home parties, although you can also buy from their website. I used to be a sales rep for them and I have hundreds of crystal pieces. I've been busy washing them in the last 2 days as my new house has pot shelves EVERYWHERE, so I will finally be able to bring out ALL of my crystal and put them on display and not have to worry about earthquakes destroying them! I still have one HUGE box left to unload and wash, but I will take care of that in September.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, I leave for Las Vegas for the 2nd Annual ITH (www.internettexasholdem.com) Convention, and will return home on Sunday for only a day or two before I leave back for Vegas for BARGE.

As you may have heard by now BARGE does not have an official home yet, The Plaza dumped us, then Caesar's Palace dumped us, and now the organizers are trying to get The Palms to have us. If noone wants us, then we've decided to just take over normal everyday tourneys, such as Binion's. That will be a hoot to have 150-200 EXTRA people show up for their normal tourneys. Whatever casino we hit, they won't know what HIT them. LOL

Once I leave for Vegas for BARGE, then I do not come home until 8/28/06 as I leave from BARGE on 8/21 directly for the World Poker Showdown in Costa Rica.

VERY busy month, and while I'm looking forward to going, I'm not liking the idea of being gone for so long. I will not do this again, not until I'm officially retired from my business that is. I feel so irresponsible leaving for long periods of time, even though I have my manager and employees on track and organized and they KNOW what they're doing. It's the power/control thing. I don't like it at all. Too bad it's too late to change plans...but I feel obligated to go to the 3 tourneys that I have planned, and while I KNOW I will enjoy myself while I'm there, there's still a part of me that feels "weird", stressed out, I'm not sure how to describe it.

So there you have it, sorry to say, NO BLOG UPDATES for several weeks unless I get near a computer and I'm bored enough to get online.

Thanks for your patience and try not to have Tanya withdrawals. LMFAO.

I don't know about that. I've been collecting for about 10 years and I use to sell it, so I have a LOT, plus my Mom is the one who got me into it, so I get most of hers too.

My oldest is probably an ice bucket, not sure what the date is, but it's very old.

My most prized one is the Fantasia Punch Bowl/Cake Platter and the Fantasia Lasagna Dish, but that's just because I love them so much.

My kitchen is in the Orchard Medley and my "china" from getting married is the Fantasia pattern.

Kathy,

I LOVE your style. I'm thinking you did a Google search and my blog showed up talking about Princess House, so if you make a stop by to see if I respond, email me personally at tanya at pecks medical billing dot com and I will book a catalog party with you.

Thanks!
