| | Honestly.. another crazy weekend.
Jim and I met up after work on friday to head out to my company christmas party. I had fun introducing him to some of the people that I work with, and it was nice to finally meet some of the spouses of the people that I work with. Then out of the blue after dinner, Jim gets a text.. "Wanna go Bowling" from his pal who is never off on a friday night. So we had no choice but to skeddale, and head back to Bayview Bowl to meet up with said person. Turns out that like 3 of Jims friends are there before this other guy shows up.. and when we mention him coming, lo he walks in the door! We ended up having 15 people bowling.. as more people showed up! Crazy night...
Saturday, my orginal plans were do either do ALDA in chicago or roller derby. Then both plans get squished because Jim's pa is having a birthday bash. So we ended up in Newburg at Buzz's, hanging out with Jim's pa's landlord who is Tony Romo's uncle.
That night, out of the corner of my eye, I spied a guy shuffling some cards.. and I decided to find out what was going on. Turns out that they were planning on playing poker... texas hold 'em, 20 buck buy in. So I decided I needed some visual entertainment since the bar is getting too loud to hear... so I hit the ATM for some funds.. and buy my way in, with 6 guys and another girl.
I decided not to play the first few hands.. get a feel for how other are playing, and half the guys were drunk, so I figured I would wait till someone went out before I made my move. Lo, in the second round, some one did. So I kept waiting.. then I was slowly limping in.. ect. Then I was the big blind.. and with a lowly 5-2 I saw the possiblity for a straight on the flop. So I kept betting..got the straight on the river and made 2 guys go out at once. Sheryl, the other woman at the table was pretty good... but I managed to get some guys out.. and rake in the big chips. Then finally it was just the two of us, heads up. I was so happy to be playing against a woman.. and her chip stack couldn't compare to mine... so in the end.. I won 100 bucks! Well 80 after you count my ante, and she won her ante back plus 20. I was shocked and amazed. Never before have I beat that many people in real life, and I haven't played since last spring! Sheryl and I became instant friends.. since we beat the boys.. at their own game. Next time they will know better.. hahahaha.
I had a few drinks in celebration, and we stayed there till close, when I saw some dude stealing tips that we left for Buzz at the bar. I was soo pissed! I yelled at him.. then I finally got Buzz's attention and told him what I saw.. he confronted the guy and made him give the money back. Buzz was so thankful. He worked so hard for that money and is such a sweet guy and a great bartender. I found out later that the kid who stole from Buzz is in his 30s, has no job, and still living at home with mom and pop! God, get a life!
Sunday morning we were still in Newburg and decided to go to Filmore to watch the Packers. Really bad idea since the packers sucked. I mean it.. oy!!!!! I wanted to kill the refs. So many bad calls against the packers! We finally ended up back on our side of town late Sunday afternoon.. and ended up spending the day relaxing infront of the tube.. nice and relaxing.. after another long strange crazy weekend!
