Phone Blog...

So, I was planning on playing a long session throughout the night, but full tilt is shutting down their servers for maintenance for an hour in about 45 minutes so I decided to would write a blog instead. It is no fun talking about poker when it hasn't been going very well so I decided to just go through all the random pictures on my phone and share some of them with you instead. In case you are wondering about the poker I already failed my new years goal of having zero losing months by having a losing February...that didn't take very long, huh? Oh well, on to the pictures in no particular order of importance. Enjoy.





This is how the people that showed up from Craigslist decided they would haul away our old love seat. Unfortunately, they brought a van back to get the couch and it didn't make for nearly as exciting of a photo op.

Now I will show you all of the awesome stuff Anne has cooked since moving in :)


Spaghetti Pie.


BBQ Chicken, Cheesy Potatoes, and Green Beans


Chicken and Ritz Casserole (I actually made this using my sister-in-law Sharon's recipe).


Sloppy Joes, Homemade Mac n' Cheese, Green Beans (this lucky meal was served to my desk while I was busy winning a tourney for $18K!).


Italian Chicken Strips, Greenbeen Casserole, Homemade Mashed Potatoes


Meatloaf, Greenbean Casserole, Homemade Mashed Potatoes with corn on top (just like it is supposed to be).


Buttons & Bowknots, the most awesome breakfast food ever...special thanks to mom for passing along the recipe to Anne!


Chicken Enchiladas, awesome.


Baked Ziti and Garlic Toast


Italian Chicken, Loaded Baked Potato, Garlic Cheese Bread (made by yours truly), and salad.



In LA I searched my phone for the nearest barber shop and went to "Frank's Barber Shop". I spoke more Spanish than "Frank" did English and we silently decided that "Frank" would just cut and style my hair however he decided he wanted to. He cut about 1/4" off my hair (I was well overdue for a haircut, btw) and this is how he chose to style it. Thanks Frank!


Anne and I during our 10 minutes stop at the Hoover Dam en route to Phoenix to watch Jeff play in the Phoenix Open.


Hoover Dam...at least the water at the bottom of it.


Anne and I after exploring the old Gypsum mining caves near our house.


Matt's friend Andrew, who was drunk enough that we were able to convince him the pool cue chalk smelled like blueberries. He had no idea why I was taking this picture and had to be shown this picture before he realized he had chalk all over his nose.



This was taken halfway through the window guy replacing my "vent glass". I had just loaded up all of our luggage in my trunk when Anne handed me some more stuff she wanted to go in her suitcase. I re-opened the trunk, placed my keys on my suitcase, put Anne's extra stuff in her suitcase, then shut the trunk...with the car doors locked! Thankfully, I have a spare key to my car...unfortunately it is in Evansville, oops! Our flight was scheduled to leave an hour and a half after me shutting the trunk with my keys in it so I didn't really have many other options except to SMASH out my own window with a hammer so that's exactly what I did!

The whole Steinback Family: Eric, Kelly, Carter, and Mulligan.

Carter stretching.


My Ms. Pacman machine I received as my best man gift from Justin.


How all of Anne's crap...I mean precious belongings looked upon arrival after being shipped across the country. I kid, I kid of course ;)


Anne and I at Justin's wedding...yes I wore a top hat, gloves, tails, and even had a cane...as did the rest of the groomsmen/groom.
