Thoughts on Spades and New Jersey Redux

Rainy all day today. Played spades with mom, dad and grandma. Spades should be renamed "Stress". I am pretty new to the game, and my Grandma is, well, an advanced level player. She enjoys going nil just about every chance she gets and then I am freaking out trying to make sure I cover her. It is the most stressful thing ever. I am on vacation, I should not have to keep track of every face card and spade that has been played for like 3 out of 4 hands. Thankfully I had iced Coffee and Mt. Dew so I managed. Grandma and I ended up winning a bunch, even with her "riskier" play style.

I am up late, which is dumb. I have to get up early to depart this wonderful sunny state, back to good Ole' Jersey. I have been slacking on my GTL anyway. I sure missed frigid winds and insane traffic. The 85 and sunny has really been getting old. At least I can be reunited with my Vizio. I sure do miss the old girl. With the Montana trip and the Florida trip she must feel pretty abandoned. It's okay old girl...I can delay getting a job for a few days of Netflix. Goodbye Florida!!
