Girls don't poop!

Thursday I had another foot appointment. The x-ray looked the same so we both agreed it isn’t going to heal anymore. He thinks there is scar tissue built up in-between the bones, so short of surgery, nothing will fix it. It doesn’t hurt, so the plan is to use my foot like normal. If it breaks (the scar tissue), then I will have surgery, otherwise it will hold.

Friday night I played Texas Hold’em at a neighbor’s house. Vanessa had homework to do for her CSUF class, so she stayed home. It was a $20 buy-in and there were 6 of us playing. Everyone else had played together before, except for me. To add to my embarrassment I hadn’t played in over a year, so I forgot about little things like to burn one card before the flop (I burned 3 on my first deal). It was stuff like that, which made me look like a complete amatuer. Anyway, I was out fairly quickly and spent the next hour watching everyone play. The host ended up winning the 1st round. The guy that ended-up in 3rd had pocket Ace’s and went all in. He was taken out with the host going for a long-shot straight. The host had 6 and 10 and picked up an 8 on the flop. The turn was a 7 and the river was a 9. Lucky.

I did so poorly in the first round, that everyone underestimated me in the second round. I wound-up in 3rd because of a stupid bet I made. Anyway, I had a great time and only needed to walk 10 feet back to my place.

Saturday we got the place ready for Vanessa’s 30th birthday party. People started showing up around 4:30 pm and I was filling drink orders as fast as I could. Apple Martini’s, Cosmo’s, Blowjob Shots, wine, and beer was all going fast. After about an hour we headed towards the restaurant. I’ll save you the details, but there was some bad information given to us by the restaurant, so after an hour of waiting for a table and Vanessa talking to the manager, the manager offered to pay for our appetizers. Vanessa was wearing a "Girl's don't poop" shirt that I gave her earlier in the week, so we're supprised the manager was keeping a straight face. She also gave Vanessa and me a card for free dessert the next time we go. Other than that, the service was fine and everyone had a good time.

There were 16 of us at dinner, so I only picked-up on some of the conversations, but listening to James trying to gross out Tiffany (a doctor) was hilarious and didn’t work. Her “digital disimpaction” stories made his jaw drop.

After dinner we all went ice skating. Most of us hadn’t ice skated in 10 years or so, so we were wobbly to say the least. James, Steve, Kari, and Tiffany seemed right at home, but the majority of us went the first time around waving our arms frantically trying to find our balance. After a couple times around everyone seemed pretty comfortable. We were supposed to be there for 2 hours, but since we got seated late at the restaurant, we only had 45 minutes to ice skate. This turned out to be fine since most of us hadn’t used those muscles since gym class in high school. After 45 minutes my calves were in pain and I was ready to go home.

After this everyone headed back to our place for more drinks and dessert. Our place was packed with 17 people. It wasn’t uncomfortable, but we definitely ran out of places to sit. After everyone’s thirst was properly quenched, Vanessa and I opened presents. We didn’t celebrate my birthday in January (my choice), so Vanessa secretly had people bring stuff for me as well. I gave Vanessa the new Tori Amos CD and tickets (5th row center-stage) for her upcoming concert. She was ecstatic – which was the response I was looking for. It was an adventure getting the tickets, but I’ll fill you in on that tomorrow.
