Yes Please

The title of this post is in no way related to the material you are about to read, but sometimes it's hard coming up with a title for a post.

I have some things to talk about, but they don't really have anything to do with each other.

1.) My birthday was last week. I turned old. Ever since I turned . . . I don't know . . . 18, I stopped looking forward to my birthday. I guess I looked forward to my 21st birthday, but that's about it. I did get some cool things though.

a.) a knife set from my sister A. They are very sharp, and very useful. Thank you.

b.) A Dunder Mifflin company picnic t-shirt, from my beastly "sister". Thanks for paying attention to my blog.

c.) A 16.9 oz Red Bull and a bottle of champagne from my friend E. Thanks buddy.

d.) Fake glittered pumpkins, Baskin Robbins Chapstick, a mini bowling set, pumpkin spice air freshener, pens with weird
dog heads on them, candy, and a 25 dollar gift card to Walmart . . . also from my beastly "sister". Thank You.

e.) A 25 dollar gift card to Starbucks from my mom and dad that will buy me approximately 5 Grande Pumpkin Spice
frappacinos. Thank You! I will think of you while I drink them

f.) My Bff made me a delicious dinner and several hundred cupcakes. Thank you.

2.) I started playing Poker with some friends on Tuesday nights. I haven't won yet, and don't really expect to anytime soon. I'm a horrible gambler and I'm too afraid to bluff.

3.) I gave blood a week and a half ago. The next day I went to the gym and was going to run my usual 2 to 3 miles. After about half a mile I was dying. They tell you not to exercise for the rest of the day after you give blood, but they didn't say it would be a bitch to exercise the next day. So I figured I would be okay the next day . . . but no, it was still hard. Well, it's been a week and a half and I'm still not able to run what I used to . . . which in turn has led me to believe that I am either dying, ooooor I have developed Asthma.

4.) The other night I wore my Dunder Mifflin Company Picnic t-shirt to Poker night, and someone had the nerve to ask me if I knew what it meant. I wanted to slap him across the face. Instead I made a sarcastic remark.

5.) It's fall now, and while I welcome the cooler weather, I'm upset because watermelon, honeydew, and cantaloupe are out of season. They are my favorite fruits. Now I'm forced to eat apples.

6.) I carved a pumpkin on Thursday night. I was looking forward to it as usual, but I've decided that the reason we only carve produce once a year is because it's a pain in the ass. The pumpkin looks good, but it's already starting to rot.

7.) Some fellow bloggers and I have started a new blog about television shows. I suggest you check it out. http://coldopenings.blogspot.com, and yes, I came up with the Title. Enjoy.

What kind of poker are you playing? Hold 'em? If so, I can give you some helpful tips to keep you playing longer, or at least keep you in it without having to bluff much. It takes a lot of patience and the ability to fold a lot (and I mean a lot) without getting frustrated. Let me know.

You should get some poker games for your computer for practice...

Be careful exercising after giving blood...

It sounds like this 'beastly' sister is pretty thoughtful and generous. How lucky you are to have such a kind, warm soul in your life.

Another belated happy birthday to you! I would love to play poker with you, I'm probably AT LEAST as bad.

I'm looking forward to reading the TV blog, maybe I'll get dragged into following even more shows than the ones I'm already having trouble keeping track of.
