Poker Night

Saturday was poker night at the Zander house!  We invited some former coworkers over to play some poker late into the night and had a great time!  Eric was the only one that really knew how to play so he taught the rest of us and after a couple practice rounds and with our cheat sheets in hand, the betting began!  We used a mixture of 100 won coins (worth about 10 cents) and skittles (which were exchanged for real money at the end) as our chips.  I must say the beginners luck worked quite well for me as I was the biggest winner making an 8000 won profit by the end :)  Eric predicted ahead of time that he would fall victim to everyone else's beginners luck and he was very right!  It was a great night though and we all decided it must become a monthly occasion so stay tuned to see if I am lucky enough to be the winner again next month! :)

Sunday was spent sleeping in and doing some work around the house.  Our week days have been filling up with a lot of work and such so we enjoy relaxing on the weekends when we can.  The weather continues to be hot but not unbearable yet.  At least that's what we tell ourselves since we know it's going to get worse.  It's actually only been in the low to mid 80s but for some reason that feels ridiculously hot and sticky compared to 80 degrees back home!!  I guess the combination of humidity and dirty, stagnant city air results in that.  Our air conditioner has still only had limited use though so you know it can't be all that bad quite yet.  :) 

 My poker money

 Eric had his poker money strategically organized.  This was before he lost all of it.

I also must say I made the most delicious lemon squares this weekend!  They were a huge hit with my friends and the cream cheese brownies weren't bad either for our poker party.
