Possibly our 15 seconds of fame...?

Mau told the server at the restaurant we were at it was my birthday. Not the usual restaurant we go to for birthdays. My face immediately turned a very bright shade of red, which was a fact they incorporated into their very long song along with my age...21 Mau told them :P

I am entering the grips of the devil in the form of online poker. No, I am not giving out credit card numbers (yet), just playing with play money. I am finding it hard to read the other players when you can't see their faces so playing with real money is scary to me. I am afraid of developing bad betting habits playing with fake money though for when I have to take Ed out in real life. Well, like last night.

Mau got another job today...something fairly decent finally. He'll be working at FedX so, unlike serving, he'll actually get a paycheck. He'll stay serving for when he's not working the other job...yay, dual jobs. He's very happy to finally get a real job though after 8 months of not having one and countless interviews that never pan out. The only down side is having only one car and his hours require me to take Sky to his bowling and such. I would walk but it's a bit too far and I doubt a bus in this city would get me close without having to go downtown then out to the suburbs then back to where I want to go in roughly 3 hours (translate to: Cincinnati public transportation sucks ass). It's only a 5 minute drive and at 9am, there's no reason to make things harder.

My aunt died a couple days ago. This was my mom's real sister, not one of her steps. She had had alzheimer's for awhile now and got lost last year for a few days. I got a call from my sister. Happy Birthday and death in the family calls rolled into one. I haven't heard from my dad which is odd. It's pretty much a traditional phone call on February 10th since it's both of our birthdays. Hmmm.

My present this year will come on Monday when we attend WWE Raw. I thought Sky would dig it. I didn't think of it early enough to get good seats...it would help if I was actually following it lately but I haven't been. I would have seen that tickets were going on sale. We got OK seats I think. I have never been to the US Bank arena so I really have no clue but the point is we will be there for the live event so it should be cool. Watch for us on Monday...we will be in the section just up from the floor seats on the opposite side from the wrestlers' entrance (I know, I know) holding up a sign that says "Don't trash the 'Nati". It's a local slogan so we figured it would be fitting and much less stupid than just writing the name of a wrestler or your own name with an arrow pointing down, right? I did say LESS stupid. There was much less thought involved in the decision than I let on. I asked Mau "Should we make a sign?" He replies "Duh!". So I ask "What should the sign say?". He yells "Don't Trash the 'Nati, of course!". End of discussion.
