It's Tuesday. A dark, spring Tuesday.

I'm up, and already at work. Have been for about two hours now, and am surprisingly not tired. Even after my weekend.

Satruday came along. I was to meet Beth and her family, along with Brian and Jen, in Fort Erie for dinner. It turned out to be a good evening. I got to Brian's place (which was surprisingly easy to find) and picked him and Jen up. We then made our way to the restaurant where we tied Beth, lookin' pretty good in that blue skirt mind you =P, in arrival. The Barrel. Yes, The Barrel. It was a nice restaurant, I think. Nice atmosphere, pretty decent food.. It was a pizza/pasta place. I had just plain penne with tomato sauce.

After dinner Beth's mom gave us all a little bit of money to use to go on rides that they had in the parking lot of a local mall. It was much the same as the travelling carnival things that you'd see anywhere else. We went on the bumper cars first. God, I cant remember the last time I drove around in a bumper car - in fact, I dont think I ever have! And then we played some of the carnival games. I came SO CLOSE to winning at this game where you had to shoot a ball from a gun and hit over 3 cans piled in a pyramid shape. I hit them all over, but the guy said they all have to be OFF the table. One can remained - I didn't win. Oh well, it was on to the tilt-a-whirl. Nice little ride. Then Beth went back to Niagara on the Lake with her family, which is where they were staying. I only got to see her for a couple hours, but it was worth it - it reminded me that she does, in fact, exist. lol

After that Brian, Jen and myself went back to his house and played a game of "Bugger Bridge" with his family. Now, bugger bridge for those of you who dont know, is a game much like "Asshole", only your first hand is comprised of 1 card, second hand comprised of 2 cards, etc... and at the start of each hand you bet on the number of tricks you're going to win. If you get your bet, you get points, if you go over your bet or under, you dont.

Then after that Brian and I played a game of chess. I was dickin' around, not paying attention, and he beat me in about 6 moves. lol so I wanted to play again. We set it up, and I had to go through with him telling me how good he is, how he was on all these teams and competitions.... Long story short, I whooped him. lol sorry Brian =P

Anyway, we wanted to play a third game so we did... And in a game that even he agrees I *should* have won, I made some really dumb choices near the end of the game which eventually cost me my king. No worries - all in good fun.

Then about 1:10 I headed home. I got home at about 2:10 (yes, that's right. 1 hour from Fort Erie to my door... which wasn't bad... the hour and ten minutes TO Fort Erie earlier that afternoon was more impressive though! lol

Sunday very little happened.

Monday, even less happened.

And now, it's Tuesday. A Dark, spring Tuesday.

Until next time.......
