Golf

Yesterday Bonnie and I had to attend a golf tournament for the Northwest Chapter of the Florida Mortgage Brokers Association. We were at the golf course from 10 until almost 4:45. It was in the high 80's yesterday with the humity in the high 80's. It was miserable. I was so hot and sticky. I also ended up with a sunburn even though I strategically placed our golf cart so there was shade over us. I feel so bad for Bonnie because she is definitely white and got sunburned soooo bad too. At least mine turns into a tan and I won't peel. I guess it's the last suntan of the summer for me.

We unexpectedly had a good time. I was able to hit my first real golf ball. It was rather funny but I enjoyed it. Some guys drove up to our hole and one of the guys offered to let me hit the ball for him because he said I couldn't do any worse than him. Well not wanting to totally screw up his game I declined. But one of the guys set up the ball for me and gave me a club. He tried to give me pointers but it was kind of embarrassing knowing that these people are watching you. The first swing I missed. Yeah, I was slightly mortified. But they told me it was my practice swing. I did notice the golfers doing that so I guess it was okay. The next swing I slammed the ball. I was mighty suprised at how far it went. It could have gone farther but they didn't give me a really high iron club. I did make a small divet but they assured me it happens.

Now I want to go out to the driving range and see what I can do with the ball. I just know golf clubs are expensive but I think it'd be fun to try it. The next tournament we have then maybe I could play. I'd still suck at it but that's okay. Bonnie and I did learn some golf lingo for the next time we're at a tournament. We also have learned the proper ettiquite when driving by someone about to hit the ball.

Needless to say I was exhausted when I got home. I had to take a shower first thing. It felt so great. I am so anal about the kids being clean but I just couldn't give them a bath last night. So this morning I did. Mackenzie has a soccer game tonight, thank goodness it's an early game. Lee's off today and tomorrow. We have Angie's baby shower tomorrow. I can't wait for her to have that baby. Hopefully though she'll have him by her due date. She's due Nov. 6th and Bonnie is going to take off when the baby comes. I just hope it's not when Brad comes down on the 9th.

You know somethings wrong or I'm exhausted when I miss Grey's Anatomy. Yup, I missed it. I'll have to watch it this weekend. I just couldn't move a muscle. I went to bed about 8:30. It felt nice to lay my head down. I must've gone straight to sleep. I don't remember much of anything. I feel much better this morning though.

I talked to Bobbi for a little bit yesterday while I was on the course. I had to go though because the golfers finally started coming to our hole. I didn't have a chance to call her back. I have no idea when they are going to want me to come out there but it's going to have to be after Feb 20th. I know this is horrible but we just won't have any extra money until after everything is settle in Montgomery. I hate the way things have been so tight lately. Lee is going to take his mom's car so we won't have to put any more money into his car. That will be nice. Then we can sell his car at some point.

I think Jana is getting a new car. I'm so happy for her. She's been driving that Accord since she got it brand new back in '99. I wonder what car she will end up with. That car though has so many wonderful memories. I remember when she had her 1st car. The gold Accord. Wow, that was such a long time ago. I still can't believe we have been friends since we were 15. That's 11 years. It doesn't seem like it's been that long. I have no idea what I'd do without her. I'm sure I'd be even crazier than I am now. The same for her. Our craziness just balances each other out a little bit.

I'm off to work. I'm tired. I wish I could crawl under my desk. I don't think that'd work though.
