Weekend Summary

I actually had a pretty good weekend!

Friday, I went scrapbooking with Rachel and some of her friends. To my surprise, I actually enjoyed it and can't wait to go again. It was a good time. Its not as hard as I thought it would be, but it did take me a little while to get started and figure out what I was trying to do.

Saturday, Tony and I went to the Blues game with Kevin & Laura, his friend and his wife from when he was in the Navy. Blues won 4-0, and it was a great game, great seats, great company. From there we went to Sundeckers and shut it down. Laura and I danced all night long...I haven't done that in forever. Then we finished up the night at Lumiere Casino, where Kevin won enough to pay for their night, and Tony and I found entertainment in watching some dumbass almost getting tased by security for throwing a chip at a dealers head. It was quite comical...after that, we took a cab to White Castles - which was ridiculous, but good. The cabbie was Kenyan, and Tony kept trying to get him to "click". Apparently, they click when the talk?? From there, we went back to the Sheraton, where Kevin and Laura were staying and passed out. It was a good time.

Yesterday we did nothing for superbowl. I needed some recovery time and had to work today, so figured it would do us both good to get some rest. I went a bought chips and snacks and we made pizza. It was a nice quiet evening alone, watching the game, and spending some time together. Although, I usually enjoy the commercials more than the game, but this year I was not impressed. Guess when the economy is down, so is the creativity in the superbowl ads.

Not Good Enough

So I was told that my previous blog is cheating and I need to post more. Just because I am looking to kill some time, I'll comply with the request.

Tonight I'm going to try my hand at a hobby many women are involved in...scrapbooking. I've always wanted to try it - although I'm not the most creative person in the world. I can be...but not when it involves patience. I'm also the queen of starting projects and never finishing them. I'm hoping that will change, but somehow I highly doubt it.

One of my resolutions for this year was to find a hobby that I enjoyed that didn't involve drinking. One of my favorite hobby's is playing darts, but for some reason, I just don't shoot well unless there is alcohol involved. Also, since Tony and I are quitting smoking this year, it would be a good time to find something to keep us out of bars so that we won't be tempted.

We will see how this goes...I wanted a cheap hobby, but after thinking about it, I really don't think there is such a thing!
