17 years...
Happy Anniversary to my wife and myself on 17 years of marriage. We spent the weekend at Downstream Casino, and had a great time.

Erin Go Blah...
It's St Patrick's Day, and I'm not Irish, but I wish my Irish friends a happy day. As for me, it's like the title says...BLAH! I have a friggin' cold. Left work early yesterday and staying home today because (a) I had a helluva time trying to sleep (b) I am still stuffed up and can't breathe very well (c) I have a nasty cough (d) Too many pregnant women in my office that I would rather not be around to possibly get them sick. Emailed my boss this morning to let her know what needs to be done. Good thing is that it isn't much.
Hoping to play poker this weekend. There is a tournament at Downstream on Sunday that I have plans to attend, but going to make sure I'm not sick. Especially since Ann and I are going next weekend for our anniversary. Need to be healthy for that since we already booked the room.
NCAA tournament starts tomorrow. We usually have a bracket at work, but as of the time I left yesterday there was nothing announced. It may be in my email at work, but I won't know until tomorrow, which means if I play, I have to pick FAST before the first game starts. Ah well. Could just fill it in for fun, but it's not as much fun if I don't have any chance of winning.
That's about it. Time to take more medicine. TTFN!

Eh...
I have been keeping this blog for awhile now (NO, I don't know how long but I know it's awhile), and titles are getting harder to think of. So I basically called this one how I feel. Eh! Tonight I was planning on going to a local bar to play poker, but I didn't go. I think I drank too much caffeine today. When I got home, the effects started coming through, so the vehicle stayed in the garage and I stayed on the couch.
Bought 3 sets of tickets for the NWA Naturals so far. One is for a bobblehead giveaway (I have them all so far!), another is for the 4th of July, and one just for Anthony and me while Ann is away at a wedding in NY. For that game, we have front row down the right field line. Who are the Naturals? They are the AA affiliate of the Kansas City Royals. The games are great, the tickets are cheap, and a fun time is always had! Even when it rains.
Getting ready to head into the busy season at work. I have alot of ice cream promotions coming, which means work on Saturday's, which isn't so bad. I am also now on the margarine team, which is cool because that is the only business I haven't touched yet. I also have a teammate so as long as it stays quiet, he handles most all of it, leaving me free to focus on ice cream. Soon, though, the CFR for the chilled/frozen business is going on maternity leave, and the CSA for chilled/frozen is going to cover her. This means that I will probably take the position back temporarily to help out. So much for project work right? Somehow I'll find a way to squeeze it in. Somehow!

Pick a topic...
No idea what to call this post. Any ideas? Right now I'm sitting in the office with a few minutes to spare because my orders are late and did not hit the system yet. So much for leaving early, which I can't do anyway. Hopefully I can get out at 2:30pm to take care of some things.
Getting a wierd feeling of nostalgia lately. Not sure why. Don't talk to any old friends from the neighborhood, no plans of going back. Just random thoughts that pop into my head and distract me from reality. It could be because sometimes reality sucks! Who knows for sure.
Played a bar poker tournament last night. Won the thing. Now I only have to win about 7 more to be invited to the "finalists tournament" in June. Tournaments are held daily and I'm sure I'll go back. But now they have an idea of how I play, so I have to try to change it up a bit. Some "suckers" there too, meaning they try to suck out on you. Watched it happen more than once last night. Was aware of when they were trying so made sure to stay away from it. A good time though. Getting $25 was good too :)
Beautiful weather this weekend. Hoping to take advantage of some of it. May have Anthony at the track this weekend to prepare him for his first meet next week. Looks like he will be running the 400m, or possibly the 4 x 400m relay. Surprising considering he is a distance runner, but his time isn't always the greatest. Sounds like he's doing well for the 1/4 mile, so I'm looking forward to seeing the race on Tuesday. Ann can't go though. She has to work. But she's getting the time off for the local meet in a couple of weeks.
Well, that's about it. TTFN!
