So I had an extended conversation via email with Chris last week about setting up another euchre night. And Saturday while eating lunch, I finally hammered out a date and a place with her. And I said I'd set up the meetup and send out the invitation emails.

Did I do it right then? No.

Did I remember to do it that night when I got home? No.

Did I remember to do it Sunday? No.

Did I remember to do it yesterday? No.

God only knows that else I have managed to completely fail on, in the last few days. And today is so busy at work... I had plans for tonight but I clearly need to go home, retrace my mental steps and try to figure out if there's anything else I've screwed up, and fix it ASAP.

ETA: Of course, Chainlighting knows exactly what to say to cheer me up...

Me: I'm starting to feel run down, so I'm going to head out.
Chris: Oh, my.  You sound really painful.
Me: My throat doesn't really hurt, I'm just coughing a lot and constantly on the verge of losing my voice.
Jerry: I don't know...I think you sound kinda cute.
Me: Thanks.
Jerry: Maybe you should think about doing some phone services.
Me: I'll take that under advisement.
Jerry: Can I call you later?
Me: I charge $4.95 a minute.
Jerry: Damn!  
Me: Hey, I gotta pay the mortgage.  Besides, there aren't a lot of women around right now with this raspy voice.  I'm providing a special service.
Jerry:  You've got a point. And with those kind of charges, you MUST be good.
Chris: Um, Jerry, we have to pay the mortgage too.

(Also, when I walked into the restaurant tonight, everyone who was already there shouted my name out.  You know, like everyone in the bar shouted "Norm!" on Cheers?  I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.)

Tonight?  Euchre.  I always bitch about having to drive all the way over to St. Paul, as if it's the end of the world, even though it borders Minneapolis, but...when you live up here, you quickly learn that to the average Minneapolitan, St Paul might as well be the moon.  But it's worth going clear to the other side of downtown to see everyone.

K:  There is nothing on TV anymore.  I don't even know why I own a damn TiVo.
Me:  Heroes comes back on in a month.  Heroes, and my man Sylar.
K:  Damn.  You are one sick puppy, you know that?

Oh...and the subject line of this post?  A t-shirt that M once saw a guy wearing in a Walmart.  Good times.

Well, I got through euchre night at my house.  I was nervous about it because it was a weeknight and nice out and people had been cancelling, but 8 people showed up--exactly enough for two tables, you need exactly 4 people to play a euchre game, since I imagine 99% of people who read this will have no idea what euchre is--and it ended up being very relaxed.  Samih in particular was in rare form.  We learned that he knows all the Spice Girls names, and that he does a passable Mr. T impression ("I pity da fool dat don't trump dat ace!"), and that if you respond to his bizarre stream-of-consciousness rambling with "Have you taken your drugs today?", he will look at his arm for track marks.  

It's always a fun night when you're at a table full of straight men who are giggling hysterically, even though not a single beer has been consumed.

Also...happy birthday, [info]hippywitchknits!  Though I hope you are doing something fun and not sitting at home alone reading other people's lj's.

...to count on your partner to take two tricks after you call trump on an ace and nine.  Not even in the alternate mirror universe.
