Update

Yesterday, I went and played some cards with my grandma. Then my sister and I went shopping. I love TJ Maxx and Ross! We are getting a Kohl’s here in Billings in the next month or so also. Along with Gordman’s, those four department stores are my favorite. They have good brands and they are fairly inexpensive. Anyway, I improved my teaching wardrobe some yesterday. Last night, I played 4 2-table sngs on tilt and took 4th in one. My parents and I went to a Billings Mustangs game at 7 as I was able to see Billings’ new baseball field. It was a huge step up from the previous one. The Billings Mustangs are the Cincinnati Reds Rookie league team. Yes, that is one below A league. Surprisingly, the Mustangs have had their share of stars play for them. Some examples are Paul O’Neill, Trevor Hoffman, Bret and Aaron Boone, Adam Dunn, Jay Bruce, George Brett, and more that I can’t remember at the moment. Even though the Mustangs lost, it was a good time though.

Today, I went and played cards once again with my grandma and then came home and watched the USA basketball game. I then played in 4 tourneys. I shallow cashed in 3 of them (one was another rebuy on cake where my strategy didn’t fail me once again). Another tourney I cashed in was a $5 6 max tourney on stars where this funny hand came up.
