Umm. So. Josh-O went to Vegas last weekend for a bachelor party and to play the World Series of Poker Tournament. We’ll not talk about the WEEKEND-FROM-HELL I had flying solo with a sick Rascal and an (almost) FOUR-YEAR-OLD. Sigh, yes, I’m learning about the terrible fours. But we’ll discuss another day — because today we’re all about Josh.
Josh, whom I had to BEG to let me take a picture of THE EYE until he finally gave in just so I’d SHUT IT (not the eye…, my mouth).
Yes, somebody had one too many drinks on an empty stomach and spent the first night there praying to the GOD OF PORCELAIN and, apparently, popped a blood vessel in his eye…, or a thousand. Check it (but, BE WARNED — is graphic!)….

AAAAAAACK! GAAAHHHHHH! EEEEEEEEEEK! Can you STAND to look at that? The first time he showed it to me, I almost ran to the washroom and popped a blood vessel. It is soooo disgusting.
I told him to go get an eye patch, but he’s decided to wear his shades EVERYWHERE — including to business meetings. Heh….

Can you see the poker tables in his eyes…? Ugh!
…Much better (although our living-room pillows are, indeed, complete eye-sores….)
Anyway, he played the entire first day of the World Series Poker tournament with some pretty well-known poker dudes. Anyone know Greg Mueller? And he managed to get us some PHO-TOS.
The p-p-p-poker table….

His room (which was one among many)….

Crazy, huh?
Needless to say, as soon as Josh busted out, the paramedics sent him to the hospital, and he was released with a “we see this all the time, no big deal.” The Canada customs officer said the same thing the next day….
And, since this post is supposed to be all about Josh-O, I give you this final picture….

Tigger in the sun…with my croc. Isn’t it precious? And, I’ll have you know, I got clocked in the head by the kitchen cabinet to get this picture. And, see, that’s dedication. DEDICATION, baby.
Speaking of crocs…, should I bring my crocs to BlogHer? Did you catch that, by the way? BLOGHER? I’M GOING TO BLOGHER: BlogHer ‘09: In Real Life. Oh yeeeeeah…! It’s in Chicago. Just booked my flight. My lovely peeps at bTrendie are sending me….

Weeeeeeee! Cannot WAIT! And, I promise to share ALL with you, of course!
LOVE!

Ok – so my first visit to your site involves a picture of a very bloody eye. I guess I know how people felt when I posted pix of the dead mice my cat killed. Still – looking forward to more posts with less blood. However, I will say your kitty ‘n croc photo is quite precious! Almost makes up for the eye. Almost.

OK, that eye is nasty.
But, I have to admit to being jealous that you’re going to BlogHer. It should be an interesting time for you (and your shell that you like to hide in).

Aie aie aie, poor Josh-O! But, on that picture (yes, the one with the eye), I could see the crazy ressemblance he shares with the Rascal! I don’t know why, I guess they share similar eye shapes or something
That picture of Tiger in the sun is beautiful! Don’t you love to pick your kitty up and he’s all warm because he was in the sun? ahhhhhh!

That’s so upsetting. Is it honestly going to heal itself 100%? I really hope so.
Jill said, June 4th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
P.S. I hope the person who called Josh a “dumbie” was kidding.

That pic of the eye made me look away. Ouch!

I did that once, and man did I feel like a leper. I couldn’t stand to look at myself for however many days it took to subside. So thanks for dredging up those horrible memories, jerk
As for BlogHer, I live out here in Chicagoland, but don’t have a ticket, so look for me to be there pressing my face against the window like a one-eyed, mangy puppy hopelessly waiting to be adopted but secretly knowing he never will. And then go have fun with all the other cool people!

[...] Sunday mornings, after a week of solid mothering — usually after Josh goes away, like, TO VEGAS or on a business trip. I wake up to the sound of “maMA! maMA! maMA! maMA! maMA! maMA! [...]

I just got back from Vegas last week after a quick 2 day “work trip” and it took me 4 days to get back to normal. I didnt get the “eye of the mccracken” but probably picked up some other crap along the way. Sorry to hear about the day 1 bust out. Hopefully the buy in was lower than years past. I was able to watch some WSOP action 2 years ago on another “work trip”. Some lots of poker stars. Unfortunately I never get to show my poker face to anybody… I’m to afraid to play in an actual casino.
