Super Bowl Party Plans

Micah — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:40:43 +0000

We are making plans for the big Super Bowl Party. My buddy, Jeremy, is having the party at his place. He has this really nice condo downtown with a big community room that can be used by the residents. He booked the party room, which is really sweet. It has a 52 inch flatscreen TV, theater seating and a full kitchen, bathrooms and even an area off to the side with a pool table. I love that party room better than any other friends with a man cave.

So the rest of us are pitching in to cover the food and beverages. I told him I would spring for a keg, pick it up and deliver it an hour before the game. My girlfriend, Janice, is going to cook about $100 worth of chicken wings and bring them on a huge platter with 4 different kinds of sauce. You know, you can get a lot of chicken wings if you buy them at the Sam’s Club and cook them yourself.

It’s probably going to be too cold to barbecue or grill anything. But we do need more food than just chicken wings. I hope someone bring s a party platter from Subway or something substantial. We are going to need good food to keep this party going.

Chillin With Dean

Spent today chilling with my buddy, Dean. It was a cold and rainy day and I just didn’t fell like doing much that couldn’t be put off until tomorrow – or next weekend. Dean happened to call and said he had a craving for buffalo wings. That was all I needed to here – I was outta here.

We went to the new restaurant called Buffalo Wild Wings. Its more than a sports bar – it has pretty good food. I like the huge selection of sauces they offer – no where else in town to pick from that many sauces for your wings.

Belated Holiday Greeting

Micah — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 21:32:24 +0000

Got a nice card from an old friend today, Lindsay. She apologized for being late with the cards but she has had a lot going on at her house, so she wrote a nice long letter and enclosed it with the card.

Her husband was on his way home from work a couple of weeks before Christmas and some woman with two little kids on the car ran a stop sign and broadsided him. He has been in the hospital in traction since the accident. To top it all off, the woman who hit him did not have insurance.Of course, his car was totalled. Thankfully he was driving a big Mercury or his injuries could have been a lot worse.

I feel really bad for Lindsay and her family. Just when you least expect it, something catastrophic like this happens and your whole world grinds to a halt. Of curse, she is lucky that no one was killed. But that is small comfort when your husband is lying in a hospital bed and not able to work for an unknown length of time.

Rowdy Night

At a restaurant last night, we made friends with people at both of the tables next to us. I don’t know why we got so friendly and rowdy. Everyone was just in a good mood. We had a lot of fun.

The odd thing about the whole thing – I’ve been rowdy plenty of times! – was that three of the ladies there were named Katelyn or Caitlyn or however you spell that name. I had no idea that Katelyn was such a popular name. And each of those ladies was gorgeous!

Pets

Micah — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 20:29:45 +0000

We currently have too many cats. It wasn’t planned, it just happened. My wife and I had two cats, Oliver and Sugaree, that are more like our babies than pets. A friend asked if we could “babysit” her two cats while she was in between homes, and she hasn’t retrieved them! Four cats is a lot. We have multiple cat boxes and way too many cat food bowls around the house. They also make too much noise at night while I am trying to sleep! I am calling the friend and asking her to come back for her cats soon! I can’t take this much longer!!

Facebook Trolls

Micah — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 22:23:05 +0000

There are people on Facebook who are not really people that I know but somehow became my Facebook friend. And then there are people that I went to school with, like Josh, and people who I used to work with, like Selena, who I was delighted to find on Facebook and add to my friend’s list.

There has been a guy trolling my page lately, liking my comments but never really saying anything. I don’t know this guy and wonder why is he liking my stuff? I am not all that witty or clever and this is starting to freak me out.

Photoblogs

Micah — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 05:21:26 +0000

One of my friends told me about some photoblogs that she likes to check out. They are photographs taken all over the world and uploaded to a blog for others to see a snapshot of daily life in other places. She calls it her eye candy. So I got a list from her in my email and have been checking them out. Found some really good work out there – very impressed.

The recent shots are this site are amazing, check it out: http://moodaholic.com/

New Neighbors

Micah — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 02:47:05 +0000

A few houses down from my place has been for rent for a while. I think they were asking too much money for rent. With the bad economy, people can’t afford as much in rent as they used to. But yesterday I saw a U-Haul truck in the driveway, so I went down there to say hello. I guess the owners finally found someone who can afford their house.

My new neighbors are a nice young lady, Joann, and her boyfriend. Joann was there with her mom and her boyfriend was at work, so I didn’t get to meet him yet. Her mom was real nice, too. I’m glad we have some nice people about my age moving into the ‘hood.

Now THIS is a Cowgirl

One of my buddies is a photographer and DJ. He took this photo and I liked it so much I had to get a copy off his photoblog. This is what a cowgirl is supposed to look like! Trust me on this!

Marty Fan

Micah — Sun, 06 Mar 2011 00:13:33 +0000

Saw Marty Stuart the other day at dinner. We were at the Sunset Grill, downtown. I love that place because the food is awesome AND they are open late for people who want something to eat after a show.

I just now got around to looking up Marty’s web site. I really dig this photo – the jacket looks like something my good friend, Manuel, custom made for Marty.
