Another typically busy weekend.
Let's see:
Friday: Brian Regan at the rococo. In a word: awesome. Far better than I expected. I have seen him something like 5+ times, and I was willing to see him again, but I thought it would be mostly material I had alreay seen. Nope. I'd say I had only seen 25% of the material before, so it was great. Plus, many of the people there were as fanatical about him as I am. He came back out for an encore. I'm sure that's all part of it, but it was still cool.
Then we went with Joe & Shannon to his friend's bar The Alley, which I had never been to before. Joe designed/maintains the website in exchange for free drinks for him and everyone with him. This sounds great, but it has a downside that is not immediately clear, which is that you are gaurenteed to over do it. Drinking Tanqueray & tonic's from a 1qt mason jar is a recipe for disaster. Ann & Shannon were clearly impressed with Joe and my drinking abilities. I was not so impresse the next morning, when I woke up with my mouth feeling like sandpaper. Have some water next time, fool!
Saturday. My carrier bearing was supposed to be fixed tuesday. I get the truck back and it clearly has a new bearing, but it still squeaks. So I left it there friday, and picked it up saturday. Still squeaks. Neat.
I finish up all the soffetts in teh bathroom. Time to do the plumbling.
Finish up project #2 for my class., or so I think.
Setup the garage for a poker nite. Only expecting 11, but then people fall out, and we end up with 9. This was a crazy nite, and we will not try to run a 3 card triple draw pot liimit again.
This nite finishes up at 4:30am. Ugh.
Sunday: I get up around 10am, and Ally is still sick. Both Abby & Ally have been sick all week. Stayed home from school tuesday & Wednesday, but at least went to share the pain Thursday and Friday. But today, she doesn't want to do anything but sleep. Fine by me. Everyone else goes to church, and Ally and I stay home and sleep.
2pm, I have to go to campus to do another lab for class. This takes 4 hours. Wow.
I get home, and everyone has been sleeping all day, but are still tired and are going to go to bed soon. I go get myself a burrito, as I have proclaimed my diet basically over. I lost 19lbs at least, and it's no fun dieting and running everyday. Hopefully I'll be able to just stay close to 180 for the remainder of the year.
Kids go to bed, and Ann and I watch Lost. This was a very good episode. By the end of it, I noticed my throat was really hurting, and I woke up at 3:30am with it hurting so bad, I couldn't sleep anymore. So great. I'm sick now too.
Monday: Take the truck back in to get the bearing fixed again. Goto work, work out over lunch, goto class, back to work.
Go home, eat dinner, work on bathroom, and hopefully watch a movie. Then go to bed early and get some sleep.
