Burning the Midnight Oil

After youth group last night, Colby invited some of us boys to stop by after he put the girls to sleep. After some political mumbo-jumbo and a short discussion about black T-shirts, the subject of steak arose. One thing led to another and Fauquier's Finest Filet Mignon steak was slapped on the grill (after a little seperation problem) and a game of hearts had begun.

Now hearts is a unique game. It is a game of strategy and intelligence, two things that I lack. Long, Long story (night) short, Colby won the game. But really we all won because of the near perfect steak enjoied in the company of such honorable men.

"Buckle Down and Straighten Up!"

Prioritizing is key, I've found, in this part of my life. Seperating what I want to do from what I need to do. Take for instance, my college application. There is a deadline (Which I dont even know, but it draws near). Instead of filling out this simple, short application, getting recomendations, and taking my ACT test, I find myself at Poker Night (yes, it's capitalized).

Also, my truck is in need of power steering fluid, and even more in need of a whole new power steering pump. Oh, yea. And a wiper motor (DO NOT pray for rain)!

So Prioritize is the name of the game.

Finally. $40 POT!!

YES! i finally won poker night!!!

It felt good to win, but during the showdown, I was a wreck. I couldn't imagine playing for millions of dollars. But who knew gambling could be so much fun?

ALSO...

I am yet again out of ideas for this month's AGS writer's conference songs.

Addition to DO NOTS: be over compulsive or a perfectionist

Present for Duty

Right now, I am at Caribou Coffee with Ben Cartwright. We just came from Lakeside and decided to chill and play with our computers for a bit before we call it a night.

The coffee here is okay, but Dunkin's is really good. (I challenge anyone to try it.) Naethan has a hard time beleiving me, but that's okay. He'll soon repent.

It's been a long, tough week. But you gotta just keep on keeping on. Life's a garden, dig it?
