WOOOOOO in Vegas

Ok. I know it was going to be a crazy weekend when my cousin, who DOESN'T drink, wanted to take shots at 3 in the morning. It was great. We are all faded and just meeting the rest of the people in his party.

So I went to Tuscany to enter the 4 am tourney. To my surprise, they didn't have one. The poker room was closed. I was really very disapointed so I went to Luxor. So let's just say I'm not liking poker right now. So after a 2 hour nap, we got some breakfast and we were getting ready for our basketball games. We ended up playing against other people. They were really nice. So after that we played more and now we are getting ready for....something. Going to hooters to watch the Laker game...then who knows what else guys do.

Talk to you later

Judgement is upon us

So I'm watching Ace of Cakes. Duff is good. I like how he runs his business. Very laid back and his friends are his co-workers. They have so much fun, screw around a lot, but they get their job done. It's awesome.

So my bro visits me and the bachelor party planning is almost done. What I didn't know is that some of the guys aren't arriving until night time on Friday. I thought they were going to be there Friday day. Some of the guys aren't even e-mailing back so I don't know what is going on. Well, we have a room, we have a plan, so that is what I can do. I hope everything works out.

Now, my bro is going to go to Hooters to watch the game tomorrow. We will follow after we drop off the kids to their grandparents. What was supposed to be our dinner night turned out to a sports night. I know my wife sacrifices a lot for me. I hope this is what she wants.

Well, I'm getting sleepy. Good night everyone.

Typical Tuesday before the Laker Game

So me and my brother are trying to finalize the hotel accommodations. I have pretty much got the lock on the gym and the strip club. I hope I'm not getting gypped on the strip club. I would be pissed off about that.

It was funny. Earlier today when I was picking up the kids from the Boys & Girls club, I was thinking of eating at the local all you can eat sushi bar near Knott's Berry Farm. I thought nothing of it. We got home, the kids took care of the dog droppings and I changed into house stuff. When my wife got home, she asked if I saw her text message. I said no. She said she wanted to go to the sushi place. WOW. It's been happening lately where me and my wife think of things at the same time. It's freaking me out, but I guess when you find your soul mate, you know. Needless to say we got the family in the car and ate like pigs. I will just go to the gym tomorrow.

As I'm doing laundry, I'm monitoring the e-mail for our contact in Vegas to let me know how it's going. I don't know which is more fun, setting up a bachelor party or being in it....BEING IN IT!!!! Well, I just finished my third load of laundry. No end in sight. Oh well. Comes with the territory. I need to upload my photos.

Anyway I'm starting 2 side businesses. I like them both so hopefully it won't seem like work. Please watch out for it. One is a travel site and one is a digital company. You know, DVDs of photos and movies. I want to see hoe much of a monster it's going to be. I know it might be tough, but hopefully the reward will be as great as the sacrifice. Besides, I saw my parents struggle to get me the best they could get, why can't I do the same? It is tough though, but we'll make it through.

Lakers better win tomorrow. I sent out an e-mail letting the people know that there will be Lakers and poker. Hopefully they come. If not, I can continue my laundry. Gotta love it.

Happy Mother's Day

So our day started out by getting ready to go meet with my in-laws. We all got ready and we traveled to the Knott's Berry Farm hotel. I dropped of my wife and kids as I looked for a parking spot. I felt kind of under dressed even though I thought I was in OK clothes. So I made my way to the lobby and I was thinking of going to the restaurant. There was a sign that was redirecting people who had reserved for the Mother's Day Brunch to go to the grotto. There I find my wife waiting for me. She guides me through the line and I see the rest of the family already there. We check in for the brunch and wait a little bit. While we were waiting, there was a gazebo that was decorated for a picture spot. We took several shots: All of us, our family, and the just the girls (Not including my daughter). These were taken by the hotel service people. We took our own personal shots around the waiting area. We really didn't wait long. When they called our party, to my surprise they didn't lead us to the restaurant but to the upstairs where all the ballrooms were. After my mom-in-law paid for our brunch (thank you very much), we were guided into the ballroom for our table. Wow! They had 3 different stations that provided different things. And that's not including the dessert table. They had their own section. What I didn't expect was that even though there was 6 of us, it was a table for 10 so anyone could join us. There was a couple who joined us. They were 2 elderly guys that seemed at first they were just going to be just to themselves, but they ended up being very friendly and talkative. We had some laughs, good conversation, and great food. Needless to say I was full. We took some more pictures and then went home to rest a bit.
Now we are on our way to my aunt's house in Orange. We get there and there is more food and other family members that have started to eat. I greeted my mom and I told her that I have a gift for her but sh needs to let me know when she is free. She doesn't know yet but I got her a manicure/pedicure session at Burke Williams. I can kind of afford it now so I want to spoil her a bit when I can. We were watching the Laker game at the same time too, but man, what a way to lose. In overtime. But it was tough. I hope they don't fold like they did last year. But we were there to have dessert, but of course we needed to eat a little bit. The other cousins are growing up so fast now. They were all playing the Wii. We were getting into it as well, but we had to go. So we went to the mall, got some home necessities, then treated my wifey and the family to some boba, then we went home. Well, almost went home. My son took down our house keys at my parent's house and left it there. Ay yay yay. Thank God we live close to my parents. So we went back to my parents, then finally made it home.
So now here I am, relaxing and just enjoying the day that just happened. God is good. Life is good.

2 Years ago today...

...me and my wife said "I do" to love each other forever. Yes, it is our anniversary. I wanted to start off how I hate Hawaiian Garden. Quick note = I went there last night to try to win some extra money, yeah, as my motto stated, "Maybe outdrawn, but never outplayed." Let's just say I lost hands that I should have won.

So my daughter got this award to have a free dinner at Rainforest Cafe. Since my wife is all about Disney, we decided to have dinner there. We invited my parents, my brother and his girlfriend, my yaya, grandma, mother-in-law. We got to sit in the patio. It was a little chilly, and the warmers helped a little bit. It was really nice. We got to pay for dinner and it was nice since our parents always pay for us. It's like, "Yes, we're grown up now. Now we can pay for you."

There is so many things going on, it would be nice that I enter more stuff. Hopefully I can get more items in here.

Can't wait for tomorrow

We will be going to Las Vegas for our anniversary. This is the first time we are actually planning things over there. Before we would just go play poker and wing the rest of it. She almost spoiled the surprise that I have for her, but we will see.

There is tension right now I have at work. It's not in my group thank goodness. It's one of the ladies in the other group. I'm sure she's a nice girl, but she says she doesn't care what we say but she doesn't really listen to the constructive criticism well.

Oh well, I hope the day doesn't go super slow. I have some work that I need to do and I just hope that it goes ok tomorrow.

Viva Las Vegas!!!
