Did I mention that we'd be getting something close to a travel date this week? And that our room still isn't done? And that we're getting a baby? Yipe!

Asbestos, Texas Hold 'Em, porn.

These are, I've heard, the three most-searched phrases in any given net search engine. Therefore, I will be mentioning each of them in turn, in order to boost my searchability. Yes, it's a gratuitous attempt to increase readership without actually being interesting enough to read. Like I said, I like to watch the numbers go up on Sitemeter.

Asbestos:

I was happy to see that the drywall mud we're using is asbestos-free. Seems that regulation hasn't yet been scaled back by the Bush Administration.

Texas Hold 'Em:

I did, in fact, play Texas Hold 'Em last weekend, with friends, in a pleasant, non-money-changing-hands fashion. It was only my second time playing. The first time I played, I did pretty horribly, but then, I was still worrying about the rules while trying to concentrate on the cards. This time, though, I held my own, and managed to finish with the second-largest gain of the group. At one point, I was way on top, and probably would have left with my winnings at that point, if it hadn't all been just for fun. Luckily, I find that, even with my semi-stellar performance, I still have no interest in playing for money. Gambling has never been, nor will it ever be, my bag. Pennies? Sure, I'm in. I once made a $1.40 playing Michigan Rummy (I think I was 11). Beyond that, no thanks. Maybe one day I'll get brave and move up to nickels.

Porn:

Sadly, porn has not been involved in life happenings in recent days. I'd say that we're too busy lately, but really-- can't one always make time for porn?

We had our baby shower this weekend, and it went well, both in a party and loot-getting sense. All in all, we're all set for the forthcoming tot, save for an adequate dresser. Not bad. We're very excited about the stroller, which is a Jeep Liberty, of all things. It rides like a dream. They really should make adult-sized ones, and have giants to push it around for you. Then it'd be some serious babe-cruisin' time.
