On Monday night we were invited to dinner at Brian&#8217;s parents&#8217; house. They gave us our anniversary gift.  They are always so generous to us.  This year tops all other years, though.  Their gift went towards getting us our new Samsung Vibrant Galaxy S phones!  I think we are also going to use it towards new stainless steel cookware and then maybe some new window treatments and a 16G microSD card for Brian.<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday night was spent at the Phelpi.  It was Tekken and WSOP night.  I went undefeated at Tekken for most of the night until the very last game that Jay and I played.  I think seven consecutive wins is pretty good, though.  I don&#8217;t know that anyone else in our crew has achieved the same feat.  We left our Tekken game over there because Cory was whining that he&#8217;d only played the game twice.  I figured he could use some practice. =P  Just kidding, Cory!<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/4903394090\/\"  title=\"08172010629.jpeg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4135\/4903394090_52bcdf8dfb.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"08172010629.jpeg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Mr. Miyagi<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/4903476091\/\"  title=\"08172010628.jpeg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4093\/4903476091_428dbbf64e.jpg\" class=\"pic\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"08172010628.jpeg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Brian and Miyagi<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/4902815875\/\"  title=\"08172010630.jpeg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"pic\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4075\/4902815875_042fa49127.jpg\" width=\"500\" class=\"pic\" height=\"375\" alt=\"08172010630.jpeg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Ching and Miyagi<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/4903409618\/\"  title=\"08172010631.jpeg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4082\/4903409618_b018ecdeec.jpg\" width=\"500\" class=\"pic\" height=\"375\" alt=\"08172010631.jpeg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Jay and Becca<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Misty and I had our first laser hair removal appointments at the Kellogg Clinic.  We went in together.  It wasn&#8217;t as bad as I thought, but it was pretty painful.  The nurse practitioner, Steve, said that he will numb me next time, though, since I am such a wuss.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/4905345473\/\"  title=\"Laser by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4135\/4905345473_257b77f92c_z.jpg\" width=\"427\" height=\"640\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"Laser\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><br clear=\"all\">Misty could handle a much higher laser setting because she&#8217;s fair-skinned and fair-haired.  It&#8217;s more painful for me because of my dark skin color.

Mom, Dad, Jenni, JenTevs, her husband Armand, Mikki, Mikki&#8217;s sister, Misty, Brian and I all met up there.  I think the Bonefish folks were starting to get annoyed at us because we started out with a reservation for four, that turned into six, that turned into nine, that turned into ten.  We just kept calling back to add more people to the reservation. I can&#8217;t blame them for being irritated. We were a bit of a pain.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"500\" height=\"375\"><param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"offsite=true&#038;lang=en-us&#038;page_show_url=%2Fphotos%2Fching%2Fsets%2F72157624639697943%2Fshow%2F&#038;page_show_back_url=%2Fphotos%2Fching%2Fsets%2F72157624639697943%2F&#038;set_id=72157624639697943&#038;jump_to=\"><\/param><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/apps\/slideshow\/show.swf?v=71649\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/apps\/slideshow\/show.swf?v=71649\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" flashvars=\"offsite=true&#038;lang=en-us&#038;page_show_url=%2Fphotos%2Fching%2Fsets%2F72157624639697943%2Fshow%2F&#038;page_show_back_url=%2Fphotos%2Fching%2Fsets%2F72157624639697943%2F&#038;set_id=72157624639697943&#038;jump_to=\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>Tonight was supposed to be Shamrock night, but I got home too late last night to organize my closet so that ended up having to be done today.
