Brag and Beat

Last night I played in the CFL $1M Round 1 Satillite.

Brag: I finished 161/7500, so I made it to Round 2.
Beat: Round 2 is on Sept. 2nd @3 PM, my son's birthday and smack dab in the middle of his birthday party.

So, I probably can't play Round 2. I hadn't realized this until I was in the money otherwise I probably wouldn't have joined as it was over 2 hours of play and top prize other than the satellite was only $25. I'm considering asking someone to play for me and work out some sort of deal if they make any money for me, but the person I trust most is Rob and well, he's my husband and Alex's dad.

Maybe we can just kick out all our guests at 3? Or I can just play while everyone celebrates? Grrr...
