The Case of the Missing Drivers License
Posted on June 15, 2006 by Ching under Life.
I seem to have lost my drivers license. We’ve searched all over the house and rummaged through my purse and everything. There is no sign of it anywhere.
I have no idea when or how I lost it. However, I remember seeing it the last time at Abuelo’s. I had to show it to our waitress. I think may have lost it sometime after drinking almost an entire carafe of sangria. Brian just came back from Abuelo’s, though, and they do not have my drivers license. This irks me beyond anything you can imagine!
You want to know the crazy thing? I’ve been driving all week without it. It just dawned on me today to check. This is nuts! So anyway, I have to get to the DMV tomorrow before they close so I can get another one. How aggravating!

It’s Official
Posted on June 14, 2006 by Ching under School.
It’s official! I’ve been accepted to Wichita State’s MBA program. I’m so happy!
Mom never doubted that I would get in, but after a week of waiting I was beginning to wonder. Anyway, I’m thrilled to be in grad school. I can’t wait to start. Go me!
P.S. Brian told me that we could do whatever I wanted tonight to celebrate my acceptance to grad school. So you know what I said? “Let’s go play poker!” LOL.

It’s my Birthday…… Yippy-Fucking-Do!
Posted on June 14, 2006 by Brian under Life.
This will be an account of my Birthday. This is the first time that I have ever kept a record like this so it should be pretty amusing.
6:30am
Got up this morning and was greeted by my cat (Oscar) trying to see how far he could shove his head down my throat. That drives me nuts, great way to start the morning in a pissy mood with a mouth full of hair. I normally get greeted by my wife telling me Happy Birthday and giving me a Kiss but that didn’t happen. Hell I didn’t even get a kiss this morning. She’s probably still mad at me because Care One took $300.00 and applied it to a credit card that we paid off after they told us that it would not be applied. Oh well, I guess it’s just another day for me. 32 is starting to look crappy but what can you do but move on.
7:15am
At work now and still having a shitty day. Set up the board and was told after I had it all set up that three people were not going to be here today. It would be nice if the TSE supervisor would update the vacation calendar (I just think to myself that it was a last min thing and he didn’t have time. That way I done get too upset and make an ass out of myself).
7:48am
Sent an e-mail to my wife telling her to not worry about the auditors and asking her if she’s still mad at me. I’m so sensitive, I don’t know why. If she gets mad then I guess I’ll just try to suck it up and take it for pestering her on a busy day.
8:50am
So far my wife has e-mailed me and told me Happy Birthday. She said that she was sorry for forgetting and would make it up to me tonight. As for anyone else, I wasn’t told happy birthday by anyone but I told someone that it was my birthday and he told me “I’m Sorryâ€. Wow, what a great way to start the day. As for work, this is the first time in 8 years that I have had to work my birthday and it sucks. I woke up this morning and new that today was going to be crappy and it is busy as hell here, it sucks.
9:00am
Cheez-it’s, Breakfast of champions! NOT!

Brian Was Pooped
Posted on June 10, 2006 by Ching under Family, Games, Life.
Brian was pooped after the garage sale today. Mostly there was a lot of waiting around. We didn’t get much business and sold very few items, but getting rid of all of our junk (which the DAV will pick up from mom’s house on Monday) was well worth it.
We actually had fun after Dawn and her girls showed up. Amber and Haley came to sell soda and water to the customers. We all thought it would be a good idea specially on a hot summer day. Very few sodas and waters got sold, though.
Anyway, there was still a lot of waiting around with a bit of horsing around in between. Amber played chess with me. It was her first time playing, so I had to show her how the various pieces move, and she won! She was really excited about that. She learned the moves really quickly. She seems to be really sharp.
After that she taught me how to play Go Fish and Speed. We had a long discussion of how people are wrong to refer to “sugargliders” as “sugar gliders” because it is a compound noun. After all, it’s “firehouse” not “fire house” and “fireman” not “fire man” and “doghouse” not “dog house” and “superman” not “super man” and “butterfly” not “butter fly” and “watermelon” not “water melon” and… I could keep going, but you get the point.
Try searching for “sugargliders” on Google, though and you won’t get very many hits. However, if you use “sugar gliders” as the search term then you’ll get lots of hits. We both agreed that it should not have a space in between the two words.
Anyway, I realize that there compound nouns can exist in the open form but I don’t like them. I think compound nouns should consist of words stuck together like Siamese twins or at least be hyphenated. But that’s just me. =P
So that’s about the extent of my garage sale experience. It was my first one ever and I have to say, I refuse to participate in any kind of garage or yard sale ever again! It was so hot outside that we finally gave up and packed up early. I swear there were ten drivebys after our garage sale officially closed for the day. I kind of feel bad for closing early, but Brian and them insisted that we do because it had been almost two hours since the last victim (err, customer). It was Ching against everyone else so I was out-voted. It was actually good that we closed early because that gave Brian and I time to shower before dinner. It was a necessity because Brian and I were both really grody for being out in the heat all day. After our shower, he promptly passed out on our favorite sleeping couch (see the photo above).

Sleeping on the Job
Posted on June 10, 2006 by Ching under Family, Moblog.
This garage sale thing is boring! You want to know the worst part? I put out all these old, size 2 Express and J.Crew jeans that were too small for me and mom bought a bunch of them at discount.
I’m not mad that she bought them at a discount. I’m mad that she can fit in them and I can’t! =P
