ON THE 18TH I MEARLY ACKNOWLEDED MY 27TH ANNIVERSARY.  IT WAS AN EXCUSE TO BUY A CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE ICING FROM THE QUALITY BAKERY IN NORTHFIELD.  YES... IT'S THAT GOOD.  DON'T BELIEVE ME?  WORKS FOR ME I'LL ALWAYS HAVE THE CAKE I WANT,  AND MANAGE TO EAT A QUARTER OF IT

ON THE 19TH I MEARLY CELEBRATED MY BF'S B-DAY.  I BOUGHT HER SOMETHING DURING ART-A-WHIRL IN NE MPLS IN MAY.  WE'VE MADE AN EFFORT SINCE THE 1st GRADE.  I CALLED AND INVITED HER TO GO TO GEORGE'S VINEYARD, 'CAUSE ON MY ANNIVERSARY ALL I GOT WAS THE CAKE I BOUGHT MYSELF.

ON THE 20TH I NEOGOTIATED DINNER WITH MY HUSBAND AT MY BOWLING.  YES... THAT'S WHAT I DO ON SUNDAY'S... BOWL WITH OR WITH OUT YOU.   I WAS PLEASES WITH SUNDAY.  I GOT MY HUSBAND TO DINE WITH ME AND I BOWLED ABOVE MY AVERAGE.  NO WORRIES... IT ONLY COUNTS IN MY HEAD.

ON THE 22ND I BLOGGED ABOUT THE FACT THAT MY "BABY" TURNED 22.  IF YOU'RE INTO TRIVIA, HE WAS BORN THE YEAR OF THE COMET.  HALEY'S COMET.  WHICH WILL BE VISABLE EXACTLY 100 YEARS AFTER MY BIRTH YEAR.  DID YOU SEE MY HUMOR THAT EVENING?  NO... I BOTHERED TO EDIT MY BLOG AND... WELL, THERE YOU HAVE IT.  I BLAME TOM_O.  'CAUSE WHO ELSE PUBLICALLY ALLOWS THEMSELVES TO BE POKED.

SO WE'RE AT TODAY.   WHERE'S YESTERDAY?  IT WAS... WELL I'D SAY, SIGNIFICANTLY UNBLOGABLE.. EXCEPT,  I WAS ANTICIPATING A CALL FROM MY TOOTS (SISTER-IN-LAW) TO RESPOND TO A CALL THAT I'D MADE TWO WEEKS AGO AND REPEATED ON THE 21ST... "ARE YOU READY FOR GIRLS WEEKEND?  YOU STATED YOU WANTED TO HITCH A RIDE.   YOU'VE THOUGHT ABOUT IT ('CAUSE WE TALKED ABOUT IT ON THE 4TH) AND YOU'LL GET HERE (PRIOR LAKE)  SO WE CAN ARRIVE AT THE "SQUAT" (PORT WING, WI) BEFORE DARK?  (I JUST WANT TO SAY,  I'D HAVE WORKED WITH A FLASHLIGHT FOR JEN)  I LEFT ANOTHER MESSEGE.  "IF YOU'RE NOT HERE BY THE TIME I BELIEVE YOU SHOULD BE HERE, I'M LEAVING WITHOUT YOU.  OR... GIVE ME A CALL.

THURSDAY IS BOWLING NIGHT.  YOU CAN CALL ME... BUT MY PHONE IS IN MY PURSE AND I'M BOWLING.  AND NOW... I GET TO TELL YOU I BOWLED 6 STRIKES IN A ROW.  FRAMES ONE THRU SIX...  I WAS HOT.  I GOT TO YELL YATZEE AFTER MY 5TH FRAME.  AND ART NG, A BOWLER THAT I ADMIRE, CALLED MY SIXTH STRIKE A WILD TURKEY, I WAS SO HONORED.  I FINISHED WITH A TWO HUNDRED SOMETHING GAME  AND AS A TEAM WE LOST TOTAL PINS BY ONE PIN.

MY SISTERS ARE STILL BOWLING ON TUESDAYS.  (EXCEPT, WEDNESDAY JUL 30TH NEXT WEEK AT TUTTLE'S )TUESDAY LEAGUE ENDED THREE WEEKS AGO.  WISH ME LUCK ON THURSDAYS.  UNLESS YOU'VE GOT BALLS?
