Poker Wednesday
Posted on February 6, 2011 by Ching under Poker.
We found ourselves at Larry Bud’s again on Wednesday. Uh oh, this is quickly becoming a regularly weekly thing.
The three of us didn’t make it to the final table. Some of us (and I will refrain from naming names) didn’t even make it to break. LOL. Becca did great, though.
She totally obliterated my third place performance the previous week by taking second this last week. Way to go, Becca!

New Jewelry
Posted on February 5, 2011 by Ching under Shopping.
I got this new necklace to add to my ever-growing Art by Amy collection. The only thing that wasn’t part of the necklace that they created for me is the fleur de lis charm. I had purchased it a couple of years ago during one of my first trips to the Pink Boa. I usually just wear it with a silk, but I thought I would make it part of this new necklace.
This necklace actually had a different set of pendant and baubles. It had “Grandma” and stuff on it and cost like $110. After we disassembled it and put charms that I had specifically picked out, and after the 20% discount (they were having a rare sale last weekend that actually included Art by Amy stuff), it actually cost much less — which worked out perfect for me.
The new pendant reads “Wine much?” on the front and “She was a glass 1/2 full kind of gal” on the back. I thought that sentiment suited me better than “Grandma” – LOL. They ended up putting that pendant on a pearl necklace and it actually matched that chain better. It worked out for everyone.
What I really like most about Art by Amy jewelry is that the necklace or bracelet you make is completely unique. There won’t be any other necklace or bracelet like mine because of the pendants, baubles and charms I’ve chosen. You get to exercise some creativity and express your individuality. And, the girls at the Pink Boa will help you assemble your jewelry so that it looks right and doesn’t end up wonky. I think it’s awesome! I wish I would’ve thought of it.
Not to be left out, I got some bling for my phone too. I ordered it from the same place that I got some additional toe socks for Brian (thanks for the tip, April). Not that my phone really needed jewelry but, at least now, Brian and I can tell our phones apart. Mine have balls. =P

Missing Molly

So jealous that Brian got to see Molly last weekend. I miss her so much.
I’ll get to see her this weekend, though! I’m so grateful that Tita Sol is taking such wonderful care of her. 🙂

The gang got together last weekend for poker. Jay, Becca, Brian and I played the 7 PM tournament and then April and Cory came out for the 10 PM tournament so Brian and I ended up staying for that as well. Cory did really went and split the prize money for first and second. Way to go, Cory!

Only in Kansas
Posted on February 1, 2011 by Ching under Family, Things to Do.
It’s hard to believe that it was 70 degrees just the other day. Only in Kansas.
We made the most of the fantastic weekend weather by spending the afternoon with mom and Logan at All Star Adventures. We did some putt-putt, rode go carts (mom even got to ride; it was her first time), and bumper cars. It was so much fun!

So glad they let Logan ride the go cart by himself, even though he didn’t quite meet the height requirement.
The four of us went to Orange Leaf after. We had a great day!
