Bachelorette Party

by David Guido

The girls took Tricia to Vegas today for her bachelorette party. It was Jeni, Michelle, Gina, Christal, Marlene and Ashlee. They didn't get on the road until around 5:00 because Michelle had a pretty hard time getting a rental. She was going for an Expedition through a so-called "connection", but she ended up with a minivan with a broken back door.

The rest of the trip was nothing but high class. They stayed in a suite at The Venetian and rented a limo to escort them around town.

From what I hear, they had a blast. They stayed out all night and got pretty drunk. They all said that the drive there and back was the best... They were laughing the whole time.

Santa Was Here

by David Guido

We actually woke up before Ryann this morning, mainly because the Keenes were coming over at 7:00am to watch her open gifts. We totally fixed up the place to make it look like Santa was here. The cookies & milk, the gate for the fire place was moved... She was totally convinced. It was pretty cool.

We spent the rest of the day at the Keenes, playing games and just hanging out. Oh, and I finally got to wash my truck. It's been a while.

We had a pretty humble, but awesome Christmas this year. Humble because we're having a very expensive wedding in about 10 days. But it was great nonetheless.

Christmas Eve in Victorville

by David Guido

We spent Christmas Eve at Cathi's in Victorville. We drove up last night right in time for dinner, and ended up opening all our gifts that evening. There were a few more this morning from Santa for Jordan.

I then went for a nice little jog with Jordan through this area that I usually ride my dirtbike. It was a little cross-country-like, up and down hills... He kept up with me pretty good. In a few more years, I'm going to have trouble keeping up with him.

My family helped us assemble the wedding favors and they turned out really cool. I just have to say that they are very unique, and most importantly, Tricia is very happy with them.

It's Go Time

by David Guido

Today is the day that Tricia officially freaked out about the wedding. She called frantically, huffing and puffing about all the stuff we have to do with only TWO WEEKS LEFT!!! She's been pretty solid, and everyone warned me that this was coming. It was pretty funny. So I sat her down and made her a nice and organized to-do list for the following two weeks. She's breathing regularly now.

Ultimate, Gas and Logos

by David Guido

Played Ultimate in Irvine again. I'm starting to get the hang of it a little more. I made some pretty stupid throws in the beginning, then I started to relax more and my game improved. It's still not as fun, but it's a good workout.

Gas is down to a whopping 95 cents a gallon!!! It's just unbelievable. I just feel like... driving... somewhere! It's even cheaper in some gas stations, but I'm talking about Chevron here, where it's usually a little more expensive than the others. Very cool.

I created a page for My Logos. I have more made, but they're on my computer at work. I'll put them up soon.

Football and Frisbee Golf

by David Guido

We lost in Fantasy Football. Man were we close! The last friggin game, when we needed him the most, our star-player Shaun Alexander gets benched because the original starter, Ricky Watters, suddenly feels better. That prick! Well, the good part about this is that we just barely lost to Tricia's brother Mitchell, who knows A LOT about football, and I know absolutely nothing. So I actually did pretty damned good this year. You're going down next year Mitchell!

I also played a quick round of frisbee golf after work with Ian and I whooped him bad. He was up most of the game by 4 strokes and I came back on the back-9 and beat him by one... in the dark. It was great!

Bachelor Party

by David Guido

The boys took me to Vegas for my bachelor party today. It was a lot of fun. It was Chris, Ian, Jerry, Mitchell, Curt and me. We rented a van and stayed at the Imperial Palace. I'm just glad I didn't stay in Ian's room because he stunk up the place so bad, I think he melted Jerry's nose hairs.

The funniest part was when we went to eat some steak-n-eggs around 11:30pm and Ian fell asleep in the booth.... so we left him there! But Curt felt bad and went back to get him.

Also, Mitchell got a headache earlier and crashed. So when we went back up to the room, I poured some ice on his chest. He woke up but didn't realize it was there for about 5 minutes. He was talking to us, and we were cracking up. Poor guy.

Overall, it was a great time... and I won 60 bucks! That was the first time I really got into black jack. I only played for about 45 minutes and must've gotten about 5 or 6 black jacks. Too bad I was only betting like 3 bucks at a time. I know... what an idiot!

Ultimate in Irvine

by David Guido

I played Ultimate Frisbee with the guys in Irvine again. Boy did I get my ass kicked. I made a couple of pretty bad mistakes and they have no problem with rubbing it in my face. Not to mention I went from being one of the best players with our usual crowd, to a very mediocre player with these guys. I'm into it now. But more for the challenge if anything.

New Desk

by David Guido

I finished arranging my new desk. Getting that big-ass monitor situated under the desk was a bitch (the table top is glass so that you can see the monitor below it. They totally lied when they said it would work with any monitor, even when I said I had a HUGE 21-incher. Did you know that I hate salesmen?

With the help of my lovely fiance, we managed to somehow get it to work. I still don't have enough space, so I'm going to have to find some kind of bookshelf or one of those roller jobbies with drawers.

What a Day

by David Guido

Wow, what a day! I woke up at 7:00am, which is just out of the question for me, especially on a Sunday. I then went to play Frisbee Golf with Ian. I'm actually getting into it, I even bought my own set of disks. I kicked his butt the first game, then we ran between holes on the second game and he kicked my butt. I must've hit every tree in that park in the second game.

I got home, worked out a little, then went to the Orange County Swap Meet with Tricia and Ryann. We couldn't find the vendor we were looking for that had the wedding favors we wanted. But we found a different guy, with these cool little candles already made, for super cheap! So we got them. Now I have to make the little tags and get some ribbon to wrap them up.

I also found a really cool desk there. It's made by Leda. The monitor actually goes underneath the glass desktop to give you more room. They say it's more 'ergonomic', we'll see. It's going to be very strange for a while since I've spent many years looking at the monitor right in front of me. Now, I'm looking down. We'll see how that goes.

We then went over to Gina's to pick up a big plant she gave us. We went home, I did a little gardening and fixed up all the plants with new soil and whatnot. Then I put together my new desk while Tricia and I watched The Matrix. Now that's a killer movie!

Washer and Dryer

by David Guido

Picked up the washer and dryer that Gina gave us. They're actually pretty nice, and much quieter than ours, which are pretty old. So I installed those bad boys and washed a shit-load of clothes. So far I've installed the washer, dryer, the new dishwasher, and a bunch of minor things since I've moved in and I have to say: I'm getting to be quite the handy-man here. I only say that because I'm the one that usually stays clear away from stuff like that.

Serious Ultimate

by David Guido

Played Ultimate Frisbee with the guys in Irvine for the first time. Wow, what a completely different game. First of all, they're really good. Secondly, they're not afraid to let you know how good they are. So, it's not as fun, but definitely more challenging.
