Did I Shave My Legs For This?

How to play with body parts

Or...the rules for Hand and Foot (for Daisy)

These are the rules I play with. There are others you can find on the internet, but they make it so darned complicated. Here goes.

I've only played a two-player game with four decks of cards. I think you can play with more people - up to four people without adding more decks. This makes it extremely hard though. For two people, you'll have to deal four hands of 11 cards, you get to pick which will be the hand or the foot, but you can't peek.

I've cut this so you'll have to "keep reading" so that those that only came for the post title don't have to be bored to death. If I've repeated myself anywhere, I apologize. Just a little. I'll answer any questions and clear up anything that is confusing after the lesson.

Because I'm the biggest dork in the universe

Memorial Day weekend is upon us. I got off of work early and my plan is to take a nap and spend all night playing WoW all the way through the three-day weekend.

And yes, I'm happy about it.

OMGLAZORZPEWPEW*

Though things have been crappy the last few days, they are finally starting to look up. I think it helps that all I've been doing the past two weeks is play WoW. Gotta love it. My hunter kicks ass, let me tell you.

Jeez, I'm such a dork.

*This is a reference to a guild name that I used to see all the time when I was playing last year.

Let's get physical and dorky too

So I decided it was time to go back into the gym. Just a couple of thoughts:

- I need to eat more than a couple of BBQ Pringles all day.
- Caffeine drinks are not a substitute for water.
- Chain smoking three cigarettes is not a good idea before getting on an elliptical, where breathing is essential.
- After having said cigarettes, having a goal of an hour is not only unhealthy the first time up, but it is pure fantasy.
- I need to bring a rubber band for my hair, or quit whining when it falls into my eyes.
- A towel would be nice to dry the dripping sweat pouring down my neck. Yuck.

Also remembered the dreaded Daylight Savings Thing. They don't recognize it in this part of the world, so I only had to change two clocks - the clock on my desk that keeps up with the Home Time and the secondary time on my watch, also Home Time. I guess that means no matter where I am, I always know what time it is at home. Duh.

Finally got around to making that appointment with the doctor about my heart and thyroid issue. Negative on both. Mil Doc (my normal one was on vacation) said that even though my heart rate was up to 126 (!) he trusts the cardiologist when he says that doctors make me nervous. Funny that, seeing as I've been telling them for years, but have someone who knows the heart and they listen. Obviously I don't know my body well enough. Maybe I need to move to South Dakota and let the men up there tell me what I can and can't do with my body. Sorry. Makes me a little cranky. The thyroid issue I'm a little piqued about. Not that I want something to be wrong with me, but now I have no explanation of why I can't lose weight. So that just means that I'm going to have to nearly kill myself over the next two weeks to lose a bit of weight before the PRT. *sigh*

On the g33ky good news front - I bought a friend's XBox and games/stuff. His roommate bought a 360, and since he has one back home, he really doesn't need this one. So now I have two game consoles - the XBox, and a PS2. Am I a geek or what? I also got yet another package of crafty goodness. I started up with crossstitching again, so I have plenty of things to keep my busy.

Now I need a shower rather badly. Stinky stinky I am. I know I'm going to be hurting in the morning, but I get to do it all again starting a 5am then again at 4pm. You heard me right. Twice a day. It sucks to be on a deadline.
