Euchre Tourney

Last night was a lot of fun.  Jim and I had a little euchre party.  Originally, I wanted it to be 12-16 people (3-4 games going) but we ended up with 8.  I will say, in the end, I rather liked that number. The players were:  Trip, Susan, me, Jim, Terri, Amy, Jim's friend Dan and because his partner backed out, we had Trip's high school friend Greg stand in.  I made two types of chili - con carne and white chicken - we had a couple apps, Amy brought cornbread and after chowing down, we commenced playing.  It was my thought to mix up the players so we picked names out of a hat for partners and I ended up with Susan.  We played several rounds and in the end, Susan and I won (kicked ass really) and were in fact undefeated.  It was pretty awesome!  Oh, and of course I drank too much last night and now I'm feeling it.  I told Jim I'd help him with leaves but I'm not sure I have it in me.  I may end up blowing chunks in the piles...ugh!  No, I don't feel that bad but I've felt better.

So, this week should suck.  Tomorrow is Parent/Teacher conferences which means I'll  be at school from about 7 AM - 7:30 PM...HATE!  I actually have two IEPs during that time.  Hopefully they'll be easy and uneventful.  Then, Tuesday is an in-service day.  This year - they've set up little "classes" and/training sessions throughout the day.  I think there are 5 total that every teacher in the district had to sign up for...another basic waste of time, I'm sure.  Although there is a google apps session that will hopefully be worthwhile...and a google docs.  The other three will probably suck.  Or not...positive thoughts.

Okay well, I think I better get my ass and get moving or I may just talk myself into being more hungover than I am...maybe a little hair of the dog will help.

Anyway - here are a couple shots of a sweet girl...love the ponies, huh?  And how stylin' are her sweet hat and gloves?!

K - I'm out.  Later
