Mischief and Control

Saturday, February 2
Myam called me to see if I wanted to go downtown to watch Chris play poker. I thought what the hell. I will have a few beers and watch other people play it will be fun. We got there and it was a nice run of the mill bar downtown. They were holding the poker tournament upstairs in the private room. We got settled in and the guy in charge said we could buy in if we liked. Now poker with friends at someone’s house is one thing but with strangers. Plus we couldn’t all be at the same table. After about 30 minutes of debate we bought in. It was $20 to buy in and prizes were awarded to the top 5 players. Top prize was around $400 bucks. Chris and I lucked out and sat at the same table. I was seated across from a very metro sexual who at one point during the game turned to the woman next to him and asked if her purse was a Gucci. Then proceeded to back peddle and say “Oh, my girlfriend and I were looking at tons of those on vacation.” Maybe not so much metro as homo. I was the first of our crew to go out but I make it to #27 of 48 and Chris made it to about #23. Heather however made it all the way to #6. She was just shy of getting a cash prized. The best however was watching her flirt with this really cute man at her table and he was totally flirting back. It was good for her since she and her current man are on the outs. We went back to Heather’s after the game and talked until 2 am.

Superbowl game at Josh and Jenny’s and we watched the game and played electronic monopoly. It was a blast. You swipe your credit card and it will take money out or put it in. No bills to count. FUN! They said they got an email from Scott and Tracey. Apparently all is well in WI or MI, wherever the hell they went. LOL.

Today I went to have lunch at Peaches with Kate. She is one of our new teachers and she is having some trouble fitting in. So we went and chatted about things.

Saturday, February 9
So Josh wanted to go to Red Lobster for his birthday. So we all went and I must say after eating REALLY good seafood in Chicago, well need I say anymore.

Marlin asked if I would like to finish the walls of my room at school and she and I got up and got my room done. She brought in the most wonderful thing in the world. Panera has cinnamon crunch bagels and with some hazelnut cream cheese they are to die for.

Later I went with Myam to here pedicure and after hooked up with Sam and went to Christopher’s to eat. We then headed to Meijer’s and I finally bought my DS Lite. I got a pink one because that was the only color they had and I have wanted one for about 2 months.

Myam and I met up with Chris and the Yellow Springs crowd for brunch at the Winds. It was so good and nice. I ran into one of the kids at the center and I have to say I sometimes don’t get it. His mom was sitting at the table and gave him a sugar cube the size of a golf ball to suck on before dinner. I thought to myself “Wow give him 10 minutes and he will be of the wall.” Sure enough in about 10 minutes he was taking his toys and banging them on everything and everyone.

I then went of and went shopping for clothes which I hadn’t done in a long time. I got several things and I must say it felt good.

President’s Day
Sam and I decided to head out to see what kind of President’s day sales were on so we headed to the Dayton Mall. We first went to Target then Joann’s and finally the Mall. As we pulled into the mall a huge Snow Storm hit and was gone in about 20 minutes. I then had to drive home and it took me an hour to get home due to ice. Several cars were off the road and when I got to right before my exit it became a huge parking lot and people kept sliding into one another trying to get past each other on the ice. Not a fun time.

Well thanks to the snow we got a SNOW DAY! I however am sick as a dog and I slept until 4pm. Yeah!

I felt much better this afternoon so what am I going to do after being sick. I am going to girl’s night at Jenny’s and I am making margaritas. We had about 2 pitchers and played with Jenny’s new puppy and sand the new American Idol Karaoke with some Guitar Hero thrown in the mix.

OSCAR DAY
I got up this morning and watched La Vie en Rose. OMG! I thought she was amazing! Then Myam called and we decided to go se No Country for Old Men and boy was that disturbing. Later on I sat and watched the Oscars.

Tuesday February 25
Today is Katy’s birthday so we went to Sake for dinner. I decided to only do sushi this time because when I went for Sam’s birthday I had sushi and a steak dish and was sick. Sushi only thanks.

Game night at Sam and Tanner’s with Josh, Jenny and Myam. We played monopoly.

LUCAS’ Birthday!

Joddie Lowe is in town and hooked up with Sam and me at the Dayton mall. We walked around and chatted and then went to have some food at the Indian restaurant across the way. Joddie informed that J.D. (my ex) was still in love with me and mentioned as much and wanting to have children together to her. This made my a little crazy. A few weeks ago he sent me an email with a song attached again. The first song he sent was “You’ll Never Know” by Barbara Streisand. This one was “I Won’t Last a Day Without You”. REALLY? I must say it makes me sad because I do love him for what HE WAS. I do not however have any desire to rekindle old flames. But what was funny on the flip side was Joddie kept saying things like “You can buy me this ring when we get married at 40.” and “Rob, you know you have been in love with me forever.” Enough for Sam to point it out to me later on after she had gone. After dinner we went to Sam’s and sat for a while then went to see Tanner at work and get coffee at the bookstore until he was done. We then went back to Sam’s and talked about old times and just had a blast.

Lucas’ birthday party was today. We all met up at the local Beaver Vu for some bowling and birthday fun. It was great to see L, Pook, Morgan, Ryan and Pat. I also saw a lot of kids from the center as well. I talked to Pat about Frank and I am going to go over on Thursday to have dinner.

Went home and crashed. I was going to have dinner with Chris and Myam but I was exhausted and napped for about 3 hours when I got home.

Had lunch with Dan Davis today. He called out of the blue and said he wanted to do lunch. Come to find out he recently had a DUI and has put himself through his own version of rehab. He quit everything on Feb. 15 and is doing really well. He is directing a radio show and wants me to possible step in for a role. I said if he needed I would do it but it would be my first acting anything in a long time. We will see. He gave me a nice compliment about my acting. He told me when he saw me in Ghetto he wad amazed at how I transformed into the character. He could hardly believe it was me. I was shocked! So it might be a nice thing to do.
