100 Happy Days…Day 30

Hanging out with cousins visiting from Hawaii:

100 Happy Days…Day 29

Aya and I are happy and so proud when we watch Stacy swim.  She just moved up a new level and is starting stroke instruction now:

100 Happy Days…Day 28

It makes me happy to see Stacy playing Doc McStuffins and wanting to be a Veterinarian when she grows up:

100 Happy Days…Day 27

Just simple things like going to get Menchie’s with the kids:

100 Happy Days…Day 26

It makes me happy to watch Jack getting better in baseball.  I wish the team / league was more competitive but we joined this league so Jack could be with more of his friends:

I just sit back and grit my teeth and try not to say anything.  I actually like being a spectator more than a coach:

100 Happy Days…Day 25

Wow, 1/4 in my 100 Happy Days.   My happy today is that I went to lunch with my 2 favorite regular lunch partners:

I usually don’t eat lunch with my coworkers (mostly because they don’t eat meat or drink) so I have lunch with these two bozo’s.  Usually not together but today we all met up together to eat…ironically…Indian food .

100 Happy Days…Day 24

Getting tricked by Jack at his school jog-a-thon fund raiser.  I asked Jack, “How many laps do you think you can run?”  Jack told me, “Hmm, maybe 9 or 10…probably 10 laps ONLY”.

Well, instead of paying a flat rate, I thought maybe if I pay per lap Jack will try to run harder.  I asked him all week, if he would try to run more than 10.  He just kept telling 9…MAYBE 10…10 tops.  So I decided to go with $3 a lap.

The little sucker ran 19 laps and I ended up forking over $57 dollars! 

100 Happy Days…Day 23

Hearing about Stacy and her play date with her best friend at school:

100 Happy Days…Day 22

Cheering on Jack at his baseball game…only to realize that mom and sister are too engrossed in their electronic devices:

100 Happy Days…Day 21

Dave and Busters just opened up near our house.  I asked Jack if he wanted to go some place new for dinner and he said, “No” and chose Souplantation.  On the way back to the car we had to walk by Dave and Busters so I asked Jack again if he wanted to go and he said, “No”.   I said lets just go see, you might like it…he had no idea they had video games:

Jack and Stacy loved it.  They loved playing all the games…I think this might be a regular dinner spot for us now.

100 Happy Days…Day 20

Really,  I don’t drink as much as I used to but this has been a good week to hit the sauce.  The family went out for sushi and Aya and I decided to get some sake.

I only recently started eating sushi and I like to order a little at a time instead of trying to guess-timate how much I will eat and have them bring it all at once.  In any case, Aya and I must of have been hungry because we kept ordering food and kept ordering sake.  Aya and I had 3 bottles of sake.

Aya told me, this sake is doing nothing for me, I don’t feel it at all.  Sure enough, when Aya got up to take Stacy to the bathroom, Aya felt the sake kick in and then it was giggle-town all night long!

100 Happy Days…Day 19

After drinking, I stopped off at my favorite taco truck on the way home:

The picture is a little blurry, but it works out well because my vision was drinking was probably like this when I took the picture!  I had my tacos and passed out on the sofa when I got home.

Update on Raj – not only was the prior day awesome, Raj came to work and he looked terrible.  Raj said his head hurt and he felt nauseas.  Raj ended up throwing up at work….but then felt fine.  A few more bucket item lists to check off…hangover and sick.

100 Happy Days…Day 18

This was a awesome HAPPY!   Went to a farewell happy hour for a coworker.  We decided to have several rounds of shots and beers:

One of my coworkers never drinks.  He did take a shot.  A few minutes after the shot my coworker (I will use the name Raj) asks me:

Raj:  What did we drink?

Miles:  What did who drink?  I am drinking a beer.

Raj:  No a few minutes ago.

Miles:  The shot?

Raj: Yeah, what was that.

Miles: Tequila.

Raj:  What??!  I have never had tequila before…it made my throat warm.

Miles:  Did you like it?

Raj:  Yeah, but am I was suppose to feel anything?  I don’t feel anything.

Miles: No…just give it a few minutes.

 

About 4 more shots later, Raj was ‘feelin’ it.   There was some bar food someone ordered and Raj saw some chili fries and started eating it.

Raj: What kind of fries are these?

Miles: Chili fries.

Raj: Man, chili fries are great!

Miles:  Yeah, anything is good when you drink.

Raj: What’s chili?

Miles:  Beef

Raj: What kind of beef?

Miles: It is your holy C-O-W

Raj:  OH NO!!  I can’t eat sacred cow!!   But it tastes so good….

 

Raj proceeded to eat the rest of the plate of chili fries!   It was awesome.  Such a happy day.  Got my coworker to have some alcohol…got him to eat some beef….good times!!

100 Happy Days…Day 17

In keeping with yesterday’s theme, this was a happy and boo day…but I will focus on the happy.  The happy part was I was dismissed from jury duty and do not have to serve for at least one year…YAY.  Additionally, I found this place at lunch time for jury duty:

Bad news, after I was dismissed from jury duty, I found this on my car *IN* the jury duty parking lot:

100 Happy Days…Day 16

This really shouldn’t make me feel ‘happy’ but it made me chuckle.  Stacy got out of the car on her side and Aya got something out of my trunk.  Both of them just trotted into the house leaving the door and trunk wide open:
