ANOTHER poetry explication?!?!? You must be joking. Oh, and Ka-ching!!!

This week has been wild! Jam packed with all sorts of crap I sooooo did not predict. Life never ceases to amaze me. Once I think I have it "handled," it goes all to Hades in a handbasket. However, you'll always hear me say, "every cloud has a silver lining." ;)

My last night of grad class was also supposed to be the LAST night of grad assignments. Well, apparently I was wrong yet again. I checked my ASU email and, lo and behold, ANOTHER opportunity to explicate ONE MORE poem. Of course the professor made it "optional" but we all know what that means. I "opt" to do it because I probably need the extra grade. I'm okay except I really wanted a little down time. Oh, who am I trying to kid....I'm don't "do" down time! LOL I mean really, what's the point? I am an active participant in this life and WILL get the most out of it. Of course, I'm also apparently delusional at times but I won't dwell on that little tidbit. ;) Anywho, I'm halfway finished with an absolutely stunning explication so I headed to Tunica.

Tunica, Mississippi. Once nothing but vast farmland, now nothing but casinos and strip malls. I always take my aunt whenever I get the chance. She really enjoys gambling. Me, not so much. But I really do enjoy sitting at the poker tables. I love to talk and meet people. I usually always come home with empty pockets, but not today!!!! I actually win quite a respectable amount and am super excited! Luck be a lady fo'sho! You'd be surprised at how much people tell you (that you really didn't want to know) at the poker tables. No offense to my male blog readers, but usually they are the ones "sharing" way too much. Honestly, do I really need to know about your prostrate and/or issues with Viagra? What I did enjoy finding out, though, was their opinions regarding Tiger. Wow. VERY opinionated set of gentlemen. Maybe it was because I was the only lady at the table (and younger by probably 30 years!) but they really seem disappointed in the guy. Oh, they can understand an affair. They can understand a couple of affairs. But ELEVEN and counting, well they just draw the line right there! LOL This could have something to do with the previous viagra conversation..I'm just saying.

Well, I know this isn't much of a blog post. I will try again this weekend. Later blog readers......
