Sunday, February 27, 2011 ( 9:23 PM ) teahouse  What a month February has been. I got some sort of flu and was laid out for almost a week. Still catching up. The good news is that during my down time, the Husband taught me how to play poker. Texas Hold 'Em, to be exact. I think he's created a monster. Unlike in my work and personal life (in which I'm extremely conservative and risk-averse), I'm apparently a high-risk, live-on-the-edge poker player. I bet on every hand. I never fold. I throw those chips into the pool like they're candies. I get all excited, even when I have nothing valuable in my hand. I raise the bet all of the time. As a result, my opponents get really confused. They think I couldn't be so foolish to bluff on certain hands, and as a result, I keep them on their toes. Yeah, sure I still lost over and over again. But at least it happened quickly and painlessly! 2 comments Tuesday, February 15, 2011 ( 11:08 PM ) teahouse Evolution The evolution of Valentine's Day in my relationship with the Husband: Year 1: Fancy romantic dinner (4 courses) in a fancy restaurant, dancing, flowers, jewelry, large box of nice chocolates.

I've never been that excited about football - for me, it's a chance to hang out with friends and eat and drink a lot. And after his beloved New York Jets lost a couple of weeks ago, the Husband lost interest in this year's outcome. But we had fun at the party we went to. Especially our friend who is a huge Green Bay Packers fan. This guy is so into the Packers, he had a Packers-themed wedding. The bridesmaids wore gold and green, and the tables were numbered after the jersey numbers of famous Packers. Th e wedding cake was decorated in Packers colors, and the bride and groom danced to Packers fight songs. "Yeah," his wife told me. "I can pretty much have whatever I want for the rest of my life because I let him do this."
