TGIF
Posted on April 7, 2006 by Brian under Poker.
Thank god it’s Friday. I can’t believe the weekend if finally here. I have been depressed all week long and I don’t know why. I know that I have nothing to be depressed about, I have a wonderful life. I have a beautiful and loving wife, a great job a roof over my head and a loving family. However, I am still depressed! Maybe I just need a little “tongue tickle”, you know the old “Polish the helmet”, “Play the skin flute”……get the picture.Â
Anyway, Tonight is poker night. We do our usual APL poker thing and I get made fun of some more because I play sensible poker and get knocked out incredibly early instead of the yahoos that play stupid crazy monkey poker and win the whole thing. Then I have to look forward to this weekend when we will be meeting complete and total strangers that my wife met on the internet (can you sense my enthusiasm). It may turn out to be fun and we will for sure have a good time (it’s hard not to around my wife and I, were nuts!). But I digress, I am at work and now have to go back to actually working, so stay tuned and I will update you on how this weekend goes.Â

And the Bill Comes
Posted on April 6, 2006 by Ching under Life.
Remember my tag mole removal experience? Well, guess what. We got the bill this week. Eighty freakin’ dollars! Can you believe it? If I wasn’t such a coward, I would’ve saved my money and just had Brian do it.

Chinaman is coming to town.
Posted on April 6, 2006 by Brian under Life.
I just learned that a comedian that I watch at work (it’s a video on our server) is coming to town next week. His name is Chinaman and from what I’ve seen this guy is freaking great. I am hoping that we will be able to go next weekend and see him. I have told my wife about some of his skits and she seems interested and wanted me to bring home the video. I think it would be better if she went to see him in person. I had thought about just getting the tickets as a surprise and calling it a date night but with her hectic schedule I was afraid that she may have something planned and we would loose out. So I sent her an e-mail to see if we can go. Kind of like a kid asking to go to the park “Mommy, can we go see the funny Asian guy at the Looney Bin! PLEEEEAAAAAASSSSSEEEEEEE!!!!!!!†I guess we’ll see. The last time we went to the Looney Bin, Ching got drunk and peed herself as we were walking home. Let me tell you something, that was really funny and if it wasn’t for her there would have been a picture on the web. But alas, she deleted it and the neighbors think were nuts. But oh well. Ching and I have a great time together wherever we go so to hell with anyone that doesn’t like it.

I Guess It Wasn’t Meant to Be

We can’t seem to get our dream dog. I called Judy (the matapoo puppies lady) today and she only has one puppy left and it’s the runt of the litter. It is not eating and it’s only one pound. I don’t know if we’ll be able to get her because Brian and I have no experience caring for special needs dogs.
Anyway, I went to the PALS web site and there was nothing new there. I also went to the the Kansas Humane Society web site and found Sweat Pea. The web page says last updated on April 1 but we were actually too late. She had already been adopted!
I really got my hopes up and everything. What a cruel April Fool’s joke!

Happy Day

We had to take a picture because I actually got carded asking for a drink. I told Brian that I wanted to save this moment forever because it’s not everyday that I get carded anymore. LOL.
Today was a good poker day. Raymond told us about a Bank of America poker mixer and Kansas Food Bank event. You’re supposed to bring a can of tuna and a jar of peanut butter. Brian and I brought one of each and then also brought a bunch of our old cans of chili and manwich that we weren’t going to use. We were just relieved that we could actually give them to someone.
Brian took third and I took first. I was actually the one who knocked him out. How fitting, eh? As we were leaving Brian commented that it’s a shame we don’t play like that when it counts. No kidding.
I think we play better when nothing is at stake because we are more relaxed. Remind me to use the same strategy next Friday. 🙂
