About me: I am a 45 year old mother of 5 children: Son 24 (Daughter in law, grandaughter and grandbaby on the way), Daughters 21,17,and 10, and a 2 year old son. Currently I am a stay at home mom, but have been in the interior design field for over 18 years. I have an associates degree in Architecture, worked 14 years in Las Vegas as a millwork designer/project manager with projects such as Excalibur, Nevada Landing, Luxor to name a few of the casino level projects I have accomplished. I also have about 23 years of purchasing experience. I love being at home with my youngest son right now and feel so fortunate to be able to do this. I do intend to go back to work in about 3 years when my youngest will be in school full time. Oh yeah, I moved from Las Vegas to Colorado to escape the heat......I love it here and will probably stay for the remainder of my years here on earth ..... the snow covered peak and the sky's here are so very awesome.
Poker Experience: I began playing penny ante poker every sunday at my great grandmothers house when I was around 4 years old. She had a jar of pennies with each of our names on it. She was my mentor. I lived 14 years in vegas and played mainly video poker machines, although I did try a real table once.....but felt extreemly intimidated by all the men at the table. I became a serious poker player about 8 months ago, before this time I only did it for fun.
Poker Wins: Not that good of a player but working on it. Hit about 3 royal flushes a year in Las Vegas playing video poker ....... my biggest win was $3,000.00 on a triple play machine when I was dealt a royal flush .......talk about luck ....... lol.
Favorite Poker: 5 card draw/stud, 7 card stud, and most recently holdem. I like omaha high and working on becoming better at h/l but it takes too much thinking and often gives me a head ache lol.

Hobbies:

 My children and fiance are my main hobbies and anything that interests them. My second main hobby is playing poker and gambling. But I also love to read, camp and fish.
