I took the day off work to go to the dentist. My recently filled tooth had been bothering me on Monday, so I was certain a root canal was in order. But, thankfully, the dentist advised against that and I was home by 10am to do anything but work. So, I updated all the album art on iTunes. Then, just dicked around the house.

That evening, San and I ate dinner at Braun's to celebrate our 3rd year of blissful marriage. I had won tickets to the night's Nuggets game for donating $30 to the United Way; the tickets were for the Comcast suite. We're not big basketball fans, so it was kind of like, "Engh." But, amazingly, San suggested we go! With an 8:30 start time, we left at halftime to go home. Rather boring, in my opinion. But, man, I tells ya - a $6 beer is so much better than one from a six pack that costs $5.

Today, I attended Boot Camp for Dads. A class offered by KaiserPermanente that essentially brings soon-to-be first-time dads together with a certified "coach" and "Veteran Dads" who gives us words of advice. The two veteran dads brought in their 4 month old daughters. Within 15 minutes, 2 random dudes were chosen to change the diaper on each little hija. It was a great class, that had great information on what to look forward to with a newborn on the way.

Today, San attended a co-worker's baby shower. For me, today was "Clean the Damn Basement" day. Recently, I had been sitting at the computer checking out porn...er, uh...politics...when a strange, winged bug fell in front of me. I was like, "What the hell?!" I thought nothing more of it, until another winged bug did the same thing mere minutes later. Then, I was like, "What the flurge?!! Termites?!" But, after some quick Googling, it turned out to be an infestation of flying ants. The lesser of two evils. So, cleaning the basement, I found a crack in the foundation that was a virtual ant civilization - complete with a Starbucks, post-office and medicinal marijuana store. Well, the civilization is now decimated thanks to the hurricane power of the Hoover vacuum. The crack has been caulked and no other winged creatures have shown their freakish selves. Yet. Muhahahhahhha!

Tonight was the monthly Alumni dinner, where we get together with San's UoP classmates for food and catchin-up. Attended by Jeremy, Linda and her beau Jeff, Lauren and her beau Peter, we met at the Phoenician Kabob - a tasty place that serves Mediterranean food. I had the Gyros and San had a kabob. Enough food for 2 meals. Many thanks to Linda and Jeff for the baby gift!

Today, San and I both did truncated days at the office - working is for chumps, I tells ya! We had the family over for boxed-lasagna and bagged-salad. But, San did make a Pear Upside Down Cake that was fantastic, so that balances out the food universe. My two favorite aunts (that is to say, favorites from Ste. Genevieve and Wildwood, MO, respectively) are in town to attend Saturday's baby shower. It was a great time catching up and looking at old Behrns family photos and funny home videos. We received more baby outfits from our cousins Laura and Ashley. Baby JJ's wardrobe is now approaching San's in size!

I found this video while trying to get through Friday at work. Who doesn't like a good, nay great, cat fight?
