New People
Posted on April 9, 2006 by Ching under Life.
So I met this girl through MySpace several weeks ago. She said they were moving to Wichita in March and are looking for cool people to hang out with. Me, being the friendly person that I am, instantly added her to my friends list and said “That’s awesome! Holler at us when you get here. We would love to get together.”
A few weeks after our initial MySpace contact, she sends me a follow up letting me know that their move is fast approaching. Then another to let me know that they have finally arrived in Wichita.
This is the message that she and her hubby are “settled in Wichita now, and if you’d like to get together sometime (even for shopping or girl time) please let me know. I hope things with you are well! Take care and I hope to hear from you soon.”
You all know that I have given up shopping. I have been on remission for two years and counting. Girl time is out of the question because I don’t really do anything without Brian. So I said, “Which part of Wichita are you guys at? How do you like it so far? What do you guys like to do? Do you guys like sushi? We could meet for sushi and drinks or maybe just drinks. LOL.”Â
Little did I know that Brian would start freaking out. He had one objection after another, his primary worry being that we don’t know anything about these people. Personally I think Brian has seen way too many weird movies and is being way too paranoid. (more…)

Meet My New Puppy
Posted on April 8, 2006 by Ching under Babies.
It’s from The Poodle Palace. I know we were originally looking for a white Maltapoo but this is the next best thing. Even though this Yorkiepoo is more expensive than the Matapoo we looked at, I actually think things worked out better because black dogs are easier to keep clean.
We decided to name her Molly. We picked out her name on the way over. They’re located in Conway Springs, which is an hour away from where we live, so we had plenty of time to think about it. Other names we considered were Bombay and Charlie (short for Charlize Theron). I know we originally picked out the name Angel but that was when we thought we were going to get a white puppy. Angel didn’t seem right for a black puppy so we had to pick out a different name.
Molly is offspring of Jordan, a Yorkie, and Thumper, a Toy Poodle, so she is half and half. She probably won’t get any bigger than 7 lbs at most. Anyway, I just wanted to share the good news with everyone. Stay tuned for more pictures!

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.
