We went swimming at Andy’s yesterday. It was a blast, specially since we spent more time swimming than usual. Of course, since I don’t know how to swim and can barely keep myself afloat, it thoroughly wore me out. It gave my body a major workout. I’m yo-yoing between 108 and 110 lbs these days. I’m glad that I haven’t gained more weight since I’ve stopped working out on a regular basis. It just goes to show that eating less helps tremendously.
After swimming Brian and I took my car to the carwash. It’s my car’s turn to get cleaned since we took his car to the carwash last week. We didn’t even bother changing. We knew that we were going to get wet anyway so we just went there in our swimsuits right from swimming with Sarah and Ashley.
Later that evening Brian and I went to his parents house to check out their new computer from Dell. Brian helped his dad setup a network between their old pc and the new one so he can transfer all of his files. They needed to transfer their stuff over because they plan to strip their old pc and give it to Brian’s grandparents to replace their old pc which cannot play any of the games that are available now. It has a difficult enough time playing the games that are already installed in the system.
Anyway, I hung out with Brian and his dad as they setup the network between the two computers. Brian shared the C-Drive on the old pc so that the new pc had full access to it. Dave wanted to transfer his contacts and saved email messages from the Outlook Express on the old pc to the new pc and I was the right man for the job. Transfering the contact list was easy enough. Brian and I have done that numerous times because of all of the times that he has uninstalled and reinstalled the operating system on his computer, exporting and importing contacts from our Outlook Express and Yahoo! mail, not to mention to and from our computers.  Transfering the messages was a little harder because we’d never even attempted to do it before. We went through the motions of importing but neither Dave nor Brian could figure out the source folder. They both gave up pretty easily and resigned themselves to the tedious task of forwarding all those emails (hundreds of them) that they had saved over time and just retrieving them on the new pc. Never one to give up easily, I kept digging. I finally found the source folder on the old pc. So we tried again. Brian who sometimes has doubts about my abilities (but I can’t blame him because I act like a dumb blonde most of the time) goes, “If this works, I’ll be really impressed.” Under normal circumstances I would’ve replied, “Prepare to be impressed then!” But, as I’d never done it before, I wasn’t too confident about the process either. Dave goes, “It this works she’s getting a really big hug.” Guess what, I got the hug!
That’s all for now, I have to get back to playing UB. I lost $88,000 goofing off at one of the 100-200 tables one night and now I’m back to the kiddle tables. Brian had a really good night last night and got up to almost $300,000. We also figured out how to transfer funds between players. He gave me $50,000 so that I could play with him at one of the 500-1000 tables but I lost it all on ONE hand! He gave me another $10,000 just now but I blew threw that pretty quickly too. I’m going to have to work on getting more playchips myself from now on because Brian won’t give me any more money! See you all in UB! Â
