We Did Very Little of This

Posted on November 3, 2008 by Ching under Flickr, Life, Travel.

We had very little sleep the entire week of the poker cruise. We were up until about 2 am almost every night and almost 4 am on night. It was really rough.

I think the fact that my body insists on waking at 7 am each day like clockwork was the biggest challenge. Although, I think that actually helped me out because I’m a breakfast kind of gal. I got to eat breakfast each morning and have my pineapple juice and mimosas and such.

With us working all afternoon, the only sit-down meal that was somewhat certain was dinner. Lunch was pretty much grab and go, if you got to eat lunch at all. At least I guaranteed myself at least two full meals. The down side of that is that these were two HUGE meals and now my wedding ring doesn’t fit as a result. =P

Despite having very little sleep, we had a blast. Sleep is for the dead, right? We were very, very tired when we arrived home late on Sunday night. Brian and I were both really glad that we took Monday, November 3, off to recoup.

Not much recouping happened, though, because he dragged me to see Max Payne that afternoon and then we were out and about. We actually checked out Highlands, the new KANDU and BCPT location, that night.

I really feel like I need a vacation from our recent vacation. I could use a REAL one, where I actually get to sleep in (if my body will allow it) and just chill like the lazy person that I truly am. Thankfully, November 11 is Veterans’ Day so I don’t have to work and then Thanksgiving (which means four-day weekend, woot woot) is just around the corner. I also have some vacation time that I have already scheduled for December so I will have some chill time coming. I just have to survive life between now and then. 😉

Man, looks like you guys had a blast, now I wish I had jumped on board when I had the chance to deal. Maybe next time.

Who We Are

Brian and Ching met in 1999 and have been together ever since. Brian was born and raised in Wichita. He moved away to live in Memphis for a few years and then returned. It was after he returned to Wichita that he met Ching. Coming home was probably the best decision he's ever made, besides marrying Ching.

Ching moved to the Wichita area in the mid-90s. She is an avid blogger, picture-taker, and pickleball player. She also loves chess and card games. She is quite prolific and has authored most of the posts on the site.

Brian and Ching are inseparable and enjoy many activities together including traveling, dancing, bowling, chess, and poker. The only activities they don't share are video games (mostly Brian's thing) and Zumba (that's all Ching). They live in Wichita with their two adorable dogs, Molly (RIP) and Saki.

This blog started in 2002 to document their life after marriage and has since evolved into a chronicle of their day to day adventures.
