Recap

This picture pretty much sums up what happened on Saturday night. But let me start from the very beginning and give you a play by play of how the weekend went.
Friday night was spent at Raymond and Cherisse’s house. He hosted a $20 buy-in poker game. I made the mistake of freakin’ inviting Mano and he won. Ugh. No surprise there, though.
The funny thing is Mano lives just around the corner. He lived so close that all he had to do was walk. I knew that the game would be in his general vicinity so I told him when I invited him that it was right by his house and it turned out to be REALLY right by his house!
It was a pretty disappointing game. Brian got knocked out first. I got knocked out second. I wore my lucky shirt, too! Which I’ve proven now, doesn’t work on poker games, only on exams. I wore the lucky “I’m blogging this..” shirt to my first VB exam and got a 102. For the second VB exam I wore the same shirt and scored a 103. Thinking that the luck would follow, I wore it to poker the same evening as exam number 2 and did horrible. I wore it again on Friday night and again did poorly. It’s just been a horrible week for poker altogether.
Saturday morning we woke up really early to drive to KC to eat some sushi at one of my favorite restos at the Plaza, Kona Grill. After eating some good food, we went and hit Armani Exchange, Abercrombie and Fitch and J.Crew for a major shopping binge. It almost felt like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman (not quite the $$ damage, though, but close).
Due to our shopping binge, we left KC late which made me run late for my makeup appointment at Origins. Sarah was a real trooper, though. She rescheduled my appointment for 5:30 PM. We just drove straight from KC to the mall to make my appointment and didn’t even stop at the house.
TO BE CONTINUED…
Okay, I’ll have to continue this later.. I gotta go get ready for dinner at the Outback with Sarah, Brian and Sarah’s friend Benny (we get to meet him for the first time). I will definitely pickup where I left off when I return, I promise!!
