Useless Skill

Oh Readers, I KNOW you logged on today to read all about what painfully average thing I have done today. And I am not one to disappoint. Today I learned how to play the card game Spades. It is that card game that comes free on your computer and you never win because you don't know how to play. Not hearts,  but supposedly it is similar. I won't go into detail because 1: I like having an edge on people. Because, come on, do you know how to play? And 2: I think that is too much average for one entry. (read: too boring and lengthy and I am too lazy to type it on my iPhone.) And 3: I have only 15% battery left on my phone. Ok so 3 isn't an excuse because I COULD theoretically plug it in but then I would have to stand by the light switch because that is the only plug in the room. Again I am lazy. So anyway, back to my original thought. . . I learned how to play Spades. It is such a different game than Cribbage it was refreshing to play. I played partner to Grandma With Light Up Shoes. He first game was down right embarrassing. We got so far in the negatives we decided to do nothing but make wagers til we got out of the hole. Then the second game was closer, meaning we stayed pretty much the whole game in the positives, and then we just barely lost. The third game was ours though. We won it with close to a hundred points to spare. And we went the whole game with accurate guessing of points up until the last hand. It was down right FUN. 

OH. Today was Daddy's birthday, so we started out the morning with some breakfast and some cribbage. Then we ate at Taco Bell where they completely forgot my order. I had even went from one fresco taco to three and they forgot it. No worries I ate it but was still hungry but we didn't have much time before Grandma's boyfriend was to come over and we were to go to Red Lobster for Daddy's birthday. So we play a hand of Cribbage and dad mentions something about Spades when I was talking to my partner (Mommy). So then I asked how to play and he showed me a dummy hand. We finished out the round of Cribbage and went to play Spades. 

Grandma's boyfriend came so we went to Red Lobster. I had been threatened that I HAD to eat what I ordered (rightfully so, since I have taken To-Go boxes at the last two places [but it is because my appetite has sucked since I have been sick]) so I got a side of Scampi and a side Caesar salad. YUM. I even ate it all. 

So we ate, we laughed, we watched Patrick sleep, then we went home and played some more Spades. Pretty fantastic for an Average Alyssa day. 

Side Note: if you really are interested in Spades, I can try and explain it. Maybe. Lol
