I was so excited when Margot agreed to take me out to Garcia’s Mexican Restaurant tonight. We had the delcious Tacos Carne Asada with shredded onions and cilantro. We also got a fish bowl margarita and shared it. I couldn’t believe how big the damn thing was!
Of course, there were other tables who just stared at the drink and even a few comments made. We offered to let people stick their straw in but noone took us up on the offer!
I was able to drink about a third of the drink and Margot finished off the rest. Thank God I was the designated driver. We made a Wal-Mart run afterwards and bought three different games for Grammy.
When we got home we played all of the games and had a really fun time.
Why do I have to end up with the Old Maid?!?!

A few years ago we had a great game night at one of our friends. We had a great night and I even made out with some nice earnings! We used a kitchen table which didn’t seem so adequate and I’m thinking that our friend’s Mary and Elise should invest in poker tables for our next get together.
Of course, that get together was before we all had kids and stressful jobs! Maybe we just need to find a good babysitter to take care of the kids.

I’m talking about Christmas time!
I’ve done a pretty good job at shopping year round for the kids that we buy gifts for. Now it’s just the adults in our lives that I have to start looking for! I’m always looking for christmas gift ideas. It seems like you can only buy so many giftcards!
I figure we can keep the same deal with Margot’s brother as we had last year. He buys us a Wii game and we get him a video game.

I grew up with my dad watching boxing. Even when we go to see him in Brooklyn he’s constantly glued to the television set with boxing in the background.
One of the biggest fights to hit pay-per-post is coming up soon! Undefeated boxer Roman Greenberg will box Damon Reed in Salt Lake City.
Roman Greenberg is only twenty five years old and has an amazing record of 25 wins with 0 losses. Greenberg is from Russia, raised in Israel and has been training in the United Kingdom has worldwide experience.
This is going to be a fight of talent, experience, and passion. The two boxers both have something to prove. For Greenberg he wants to break out and make a name for himself. For Damon Reed it’s about keeping his integrity and not losing to a newbie and young fighter!
The sponsored that has believed in Greenberg from the beginning is an online backgammon company.
I have never played backgammon but BackGammonMasters.com offers a great websites to teach newbies like me! They also allow professionals and intermediate players to come together and play.
What I’d really like to see is instead of fighting the two big time fighters sitting down for a few puzzles of suduko or better yet a sophisticated game of backgammon.

This weekend I spent approx. 12 hours of my time playing the new Paper Super Mario Brothers game for the Wii game system. It is such a great game and has so many aspects to it.
First of all, if you use the Mario character you can go back and forth between 2D and 3D during the game. Sometimes there are tricks and extra coins 3D that you can’t see 2D.
As you play the game you can open up the Princess, Luigi, and Bowser. You can play as these characters and just like Mario has his special 3D/2D thing going on — they have special traits too.
I was able to get 4 hearts which appears to be half way through the game on minimal cheating and use of online walkthroughs.
I’m sad to have to return this game back to the video store and figure when the price drops I’m going to buy it!
