Ten Random Things That Are Within Reach As I Sit Here At My Computer

1. A bag of wasabi peas (my favorite crunchy snack food ever).
2. A bag of Dove dark chocolate almond "Promises" (I cannot be truly happy without chocolate close by).
3. Two books about gambling: "The Only Poker Book You'll Ever Need" (a matter of opinion) and "Casino Confidential, A Pit Boss's Guide To Beating The House" (definitely not fail-safe).
4. A deck of cards (of course).
5. A miniature Las Vegas sign (are you feeling a theme here).
6. A half-full ('cause I don't want to be a pessimist) bottle of water.
7. A mirror (in case I need to pluck or primp).
8. An invitation to "Join Our All-Star Team" from the Waffle House. (PhillyTwo's idea of funny)
9. Trivial Pursuit - Genus Edition (not sure why).
10. A G.I. Joe in full combat gear (which gives me a false, but somehow magical sense of security).
