Poker Night
My darling hubby hosts "Poker Night" in our garage every Thursday night from 7-11 and one Sunday afternoon a month. There are usually 14-18 people all sitting around a couple of tables playing Texas Hold 'Em. (I don't play...since baby girl always works on Thursdays this is the one evening that I get the computer to myself.) It is a very strange group of people. Several of them would turn and run the other way if they saw each other on the streets, they all have different political views, come from far differing financial brackets, different family situations, they do not socialize at any other time....but somehow, they get along fine while playing cards. Hubby is a very good host and a fun time is had by all.
Speaking of 'fun times' hubby has been working on Kineo this week, it is an Island on Moosehead Lake, access is via boat ONLY. We do not have a boat, therefore, hubby is dependent on the kindness of others. He has to be at the docks at 7:30 AM and Mr. X picks him up when he drops his son off to catch the school bus and brings him back to the mainland at 3:30 when he picks his son up. It's been working fine...UNTIL today, Mr. X didn't show up. Hubby called me at work around 4, don't know what he thought I could do about it, saying that nobody had shown up and that he and Glen, his employee, were the ONLY people left on the island...what to do. Of course he was royally pissed off and swearing like a parrot, not that it helped at all. He was tired, hungry, cold and most importantly afraid that he'd be late for POKER NIGHT! Rest easy though about a half hour later a guy with a barge showed and he hopped a ride back to the mainland...All is once again calm.......
With the added time at home alone...waiting for Hubby to find his way off the 'island', I made a double batch of Chocolate No Bake cookies - They came out perfect...this may seem like no big thing to most of you...but I have terrible luck with those stupid cookies...and I really DO KNOW HOW TO COOK. Anyway, I'm gonna send half of them to the big guy at school, baby girl is going down to visit him for a few hours tomorrow, I'm sure she has an alterior motive....but WHATEVER...I'm a kewl mom...I'll just go with it....LOL.
ARGH!!!!! I had all of these cutsie little pics to load into this post...but my god damned, gremlin infested, useless piece of shit, computer keeps shutting down on me!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINE BE THAT WAY.
Have a good week.
