The Dresser Night

Last night was fun.  My wife has been dying to order the chest of drawers that matches my son's crib and changing station.  It was normally $300-something but went on sale at Sears for like $140.  So we ordered it and had it shipped to a nearby store to avoid paying the shipping.  Of course, it had to be picked up last night.  We went over the weekend but the box was too big for the back of our Ford Escape.  We asked our friends to borrow their truck, which they said was fine, but my friend Adam was working until 9:30.  I didn't want him to work late only to have to help me pick up furniture after he got off, so we agreed that I'd meet him at work, take the truck, pick up the dresser, take it home, take the truck back, and drive my Escape home.  That took about 2 hours.  As I'm driving home, my wife calls me and asks if I can go by the grocery store and pick up a few things so she can make meatballs for a picnic they're having at daycare today.  I've never been in and out of the grocery store so fast...I didn't want to be late for the FFA.  How sad is that? 

I finally got home, gave my wife the groceries, and started heading upstairs when I heard, "Aren't you going to help me make meatballs?"  "Um, no."  Then I got this rather unpleasant look but I kept heading upstairs.  "I'm the defending champion, I have to go!"  "Don't you feel the least bit guilty not helping me?", she asked.  "Yeah, but baby, you know how it is!" 

That's right.  That's how it works in my house!

All in all, I spent from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM getting the dresser and groceries.  Then right before the FFA starts, she was having problems with the printer.  Jeeebus!  Long story short, I'm fixing that tonight.

The FFAs were pretty good though I finished 5th in the final game.  That was a rough game and I never really had anything going.  The best I did in the three games was 2nd place in the 2nd game of the first round.  I apologize in advance for always seeming to find sys in there.  I wasn't looking for her, honest, FFAs just go that way. :(

Afterwards, Bioslayer, MGK, Onslaught, and I did some THCs, which we won save for a game against a modder that claimed to be DSing us like crazy.  We also did an oddball Lockout game against Profanity, which I've also uploaded.  That game was decided by 2 seconds, and let me say, I'm glad the clock expired when it did.  So GG to them.  I didn't do very well in the game, but since it was fun and very close, I uploaded it.
