Transition + Hollywood Party Poker review

Here is our review of the Hollywood Poker party at the Montmartre Lounge last night.

I'm a grouch today. And I'm having a difficult time figuring out if it is because money is becoming a greater sore spot for me (not John) now that I'm in a long term relationship, or if it's because this is just what happens when I move somewhere, let a lone somewhere I don't like. Or if it's because I found out yesterday that I've GAINED 20LBS SINCE I MET John, formerly known as the BBE, and maybe to be called that again after I stop being grouchy, and am desperately in need of a great big brownie sundae and lots of jelly bellys or sour candies.

20 friggin pounds. This is the most I've ever weighed in my entire life. I'm in shock. Total shock. So was he when I told him. We made an eating plan since we're both pretty convinced it has to do with how much we go out to eat and lack of excercise. I mean, come on, using half and half in my decaf/reg coffee couldn't do that much dammage—could it?

Upsides to LA/Burbank: I get to hang out with Leigh and Riley whenever. Just popped over to their house for her to save me in the what-the-hell-do-I-wear-to-a-hipster-Hollywood club department. They are both such warm and friendly faces there is really no reason to get down.

Times I ate two dinners and didn't tell John about it: 1
Times I took off a girdle in a restaurant bathroom and hid it beneath paper towels in the trash: 1
Times I talked to Dick Van Patten: 2
Times I got kissed by some guy on Big Brother: 1
Times I saw Sayeed (don't know how to spell it) from LOST: 1


Current: Burbank
Next: VEGAS ON SATURDAY!!!!!!!
