Long weekend

Category: Fun

So, how was everyones weekend? Mine was pretty good. It started on Thursday night with a poker game. It was fun, which means I won. If I didn’t win, it wouldn’t have been fun. Okay, that’s not entirely true.

Yes it is.

Seriously though, no it’s not.

Yeah, it is.

In all serious-ness(good word), I always have fun playing cards. Well, this weekend, I built a new poker table. I don’t think I expected it to come out as good as it did, but I literally couldn’t be happier with it. I’ll get some pice up soon, I’m still putting the finishing coats of polyurethane on it. That doesn’t look like it’s spelled right, and I’m too damn tired and lazy to look it up….so we’ll just leave it that way.

Anyway, the table took me 16 hours to do. 16 friggin hours. I’m either a big and dedicated fan to the game of poker, or I got a fucking gambling problem and need a 800 number. Whatever the case may be, it took me forever to make this damn thing. I have to give props out to Fish and Joey for helping me out. Joey especially. He was with me until 2:00am when we finally finished it, and he also helped out financially. Yeah, turns out fabric and shit is expensive. On a side note, walking into a place like Jo-Ann fabric doesn’t make you feel as gay as you would think. It doesn’t make you feel more manly by any stretch of the imagination, but it isn’t bad. However, Joey telling the clerk that we were buying black vinyl to make ass-less chaps, for us to wear during our “partner” ceremony didn’t help.

It was a long day of sawing, stapling, home-depot-ing, sawing and more home depot-ing, but it was all worth it. Again, I will post pics once I finish poly-ing the oak racetrack around the table. (the racetrack is to stack your chips on)

After that marathon of manual labor and future back problems, it was just a regular weekend until today. Today being white-mans Easter we started the day out at Bonnies house for her now famous “Holiday Morning Breakfast ar Bonnies!” Great food, as always, and good times with good people. Most people look forward to holidays because they get the day off of work, we look forward to them because breakfast at Bonnies rules. For those of you unfortunate enough to never have the opertunity to experience this, sucks to be you. After Bonnies it was a power-nap for me (I played cards a little late last night) then off to Kels cousins house for Easter with her family. That was a good time, as always, but the short sleep was starting to catch up with me. We left there, and I dropped Kel off at home, changed my clothes and went back to the shop to sand and poly the table. (it takes a while to dry)

Quick stop at my Dads to return his compressor staple gun(life saver) and back home in time to watch State beat UK in double overtime! Who says the big ten can’t ball?

Movie night tonight was Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. I won’t ruin it for you, in case you didn’t see it.

That was pretty much my weekend in a nutshell. Now, it’s almost midnight, and I’m tired. Good night all.
