Matt and I just celebrated our first wedding anniversary. Time seems to fly when you marry the right person. I didn't know that the traditional first anniversary gift was paper, but I guess I did well by buying him the new Stephen King book that he's been wanting to read. He is going to get me the new Harper Lee book when it comes out tomorrow. He also got me a $20 lottery ticket and I won $100 on it. I spent a good portion of it today by going to Hobby Lobby and getting stuff to decorate my new Scrabble board and then going to Ross for Less for some new clothes.
Last night we went to a nice restaurant for dinner. It was expensive, but not as bad as some of the places we've been to. The service was great and it was a nice atmosphere. The food was excellent as well. I had a rib-eye steak with garlic mashed potatoes. Matt had venison and quail.
So I played in a Scrabble tournament in Austin on Saturday. I have yet to do well in an Austin tournament. I was seeded 4th and came in 6th winning 3 games and losing 4. I did bingo out in 3 games but one of them wasn't enough points to surpass my opponent. I would have won that game if I had challenged a word that I let go. After the tournament, I met my friend Brent for dinner. It was great to be able to see him.
I need to start studying again this week. I really need to nail down all the three letter words and work on some of the important fours. My summer is quickly coming to a close. I'll be heading back to Canyon in about two weeks for a couple of days and then shortly after that will be our trip to Reno for Scrabble nationals. We'll get back late Wednesday on August 5 and then I report back to work on Monday, August 10. Where has the time gone?
