Today was pretty good. I went to church yesterday so I stayed up a little later than normal and slept longer than normal. I watched some TV and waited for mskate to get home. I cleaned her cpap equipment while she went to mass. I also went through some junk mail and one of the things was a free lottery ticket with the state lottery, so I walked down to a gas station at the corner and they weren't able to do the promotion, so I walked to another gas station where I was able to get my ticket. It was an hourly drawing so I walked to the gas station to see if I won, I didn't. Oh well. After mass and some resting mskate and I went to a local laser tag place since they had a free laser tag promotion today. On our way there we stopped at A&W since we had coupons. Mskate had a root beer float and I had 2 double cheese burgers. At laser tag we got our free laser tag tickets and got a $10 play card for $7. The fun thing with the laser tag is all the vests were given the names of Smash Bros characters. I got what I thought was Isabel but it ended up being Palutena. Oh well. I ended up getting 2nd place best player that match because I'm just really good at laser tag. Afterwards we played some arcade games, mskate played connect 4, I played a skeeball bowling game (where I got 2 strikes and played 2 bonus rounds and got 82 tickets), a piano game, and a centipede game. We didn't get any prizes this time, but do have a little over 1000 tickets so next time we can maybe get something. Afterwards we went to chuck-e-cheese to use our daily 40 points where I played skeeball, dunk the clowns, subway surfer, and this hop game that I'm really good at and got 3 jackpots. I think I got over 300 tickets this time, and that's not exactly easy. Afterwards we got 3 plastic rings for the easter egg fund raiser and a sticker sheet for friends for life. Later in the evening I made a baked potato and a porkchop for me and a sausage for her. I then ended with watching Bobs Burgers on Adult Swim since there wasn't animation domination on FOX tonight. Later.

Lots of things happening but also not much. On Wednesday I went to Chuck E Cheese and had Wendy's beforehand. Then I went on a rosary cruise with my church. My mom and aunt joined me, so that was fun. Everyone asked where mskate was since she wasn't there, and I let them know she was at a skating thing. Thursday was pretty good. I went to Chuck E Cheese and then enjoyed a quiet night in watching some TV. Friday was pretty great. Normally now I'm supposed to have a meeting at 3PM until 3:30 PM, but it was canceled and my boss let me go home at 2, which was great. Before it got too late I went skateboarding, and I haven't been able to do that much this summer. I went to Chuck E Cheese and found that I can get over 100 tickets a trip if I play certain games that I can go pretty consistently at 6-10 a game, and at 40 games a day I can get 240-400 a day. Later that night I did some cleaning, going through mskate's expired medical supplies and disposing of it. I also found my Kwik-E-Mart pin and Universal Studios penny book, so that's great. Some time next week I think I'll wear my pin to work since it's a nametag with my name on it. Now I'm just watching TV and trying to clean out my DVR. Later.

8/15-18/25

Decided to cover everything I've been doing last weekend. On Friday the wife and I went to the drive in to watch Freakier Friday after going to mass for the assumption of Mary. It was a pretty good sequel, I'll be uploading that at some point. On Saturday I finished my Disney summer blog and watched TV, I also got all my images from Disney uploaded to my shutter stock, some of which are available for purchase. It's not exactly something I'm trying very seriously, but I enjoy taking photos and it's cool being able to do something with them. I think I also paid off all the credit cards and transferred to my savings. Mskate and I also went to BJs and got ribs, 2 slabs. I made my rib brine, vinegar and apple juice with a little bit of "not made in china" sauce and let them soak. We also checked out a new entertainment center that just opened up, and while it is a pretty cool place it's really loud (like you have to yell in your party's ear so they can hear you) and the prices were outrageous (like $1.50 per game), so we don't think we'll go there very often. That evening we had 1 of the slabs of ribs. Sunday we went to mass and mskate had a catechism open house afterwards. In the afternoon we went to Chuck E Cheese and bought our 2 month pass. This time the 2 month pass was successfully added to our account. Our CEC changed things up, they made a section that is all rides and a play place (no longer trampoline zone), and then all the games were in the other section. They also got rid of the simpsons soccer game, coin pusher (that regularly broke down), and the roller coaster simulator (that's now just a small thing). They also got some other prizes, which is good since we do an easter egg fund raiser and need prizes, and low value chuck e cheese prizes are good egg fillers. Since FOX had some sports thing they didn't have cartoons, so I watched adult swim instead. I also had half a slab of ribs that were brining for a day, which tasted pretty good. Monday we went to Chuck E Cheese again, and made the last of the ribs. An annoying thing though is half of the ribs didn't cook all the way through, so I had to cook them in the oven. Now I'm getting some stuff on TV caught up. Later.
