THAT'S RIGHT THE SEASON HAS BEGUN. I'VE BOWLED LEAGUE TWICE ALL READY FOR THURSDAY. MANAGED TO GET ON A TUESDAY WOMEN'S LEAGUE AND THE BEST BOWLING OF THE WEEK.... SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY. IT'S MY GUARUNTEED 2 HOURS WITH MY SISTER HOLLY AND THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT MAKE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD.
YOU CAN MEET MY SISTER NOW. SHE'S (FINALLY) DECIDED TO GAB WITH US. http://gabster.fm1071.com/hollyburrington NOW THIS IS SOME ONE YOU WANT TO HANG OUT WITH. I JUST WANT TO SAY... SHE'S A BETTER VERSION OF ME. (IF YOU SEE THIS AND ARE EMBARASSED... BONUS, LOVE YOU.) THAT'S RIGHT SHE IS THE ONE WHO GAVE ME THE WORD SNARKEY. SAID SOMETHING SNARKEY, DEFINED IT AS SNARKEY, AS SHE LAUGHED OUT LOUD. ONE OF MY FAVORITE SOUNDS... HOLLY GIGGLE.
I JUST HAVE TO SAY...
IF YOUR "WATER" CONTAINS CALORIES. IT IS NOT WATER.
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?
YOU KNOW ME, ANY EXCUSE TO BOWL WILL DO. I FOUND ANOTHER GABSTER WHO PROUDLY POSTED A PICTURE OF HER PRETTY BALL.
I'M SO EXCITED TO MEET AND BOWL WITH MUSTANG_SALLIE TONIGHT AT TUTTLE'S AT 7 PM. I CAN'T WAIT. THIS EVENING WILL BE GREAT... I GET TO HANG OUT WITH MY SISTERS, PLAY MY FAVORITE GAME AND MEET ANOTHER GABSTER.
I WAS HIT ON TONIGHT. IT WAS EXCEPTIONALLY GRATIFYING. BUT IT HAS BEEN SOOOOO LONG, I MAY HAVE MISINTERPRETED THE CLUES. VALIDATE ME ... WILL YOU?
I ENTERED THE FITZ'S PATIO (CEDARVALE LANES... SMOKER'S) AND PROCEEDED TO AN AREA THAT WAS EMPTY (VOLLEY BALL LEAGUES HAPPEN ON THURSDAY AS WELL), ACCOMPANIED WITH MY FRIEND AND TEAM MATE. AS WE PASSED THROUGH AN AREA TO GET TO THE EMPTY, A GENTLEMAN MADE EYE CONTACT WITH ME . I SMILED AND ACKNOWLEDGED HIM, AS MY FRIEND AND I PASSED. WHEN MY TEAM MATE AND I ARRIVED AT OUR DESTINATION AND HAD SETTLED IN, THE GENTLEMAN APPPROACHED ME AND SAID.... EXACTY WHAT, I HAVEN'T A RECOLLECTION.
SO HERE IS MY PERSPECTIVE... I START COMPLETELY RANDOM CONVERSATIONS WITH PEOPLE... 'CUASE I CAN. I'M JUST INTERESTED IN MAKING CONTACT. GOOD, BAD OR INDIFFERENT... IT'S A CONVERSATION FROM WHICH I'LL LEARN SOMETHING. IT'S FUN, IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY.
BUT HERE IS WHY I'M FAIRLY CERTAIN I WAS "HIT" ON. JIM COMPLITEMENTED MY SMILE AND MY ATTITUDE, FOR WHICH I THANKED HIM. I INTRODUCED HIM TO MY TEAM MATE, WHICH HE NEARLY IGNORED. I ASKED JIM IF HE WAS A BOWLER, AFTER ALL WE ARE AT CEDARVALE. AND HIS RESPONSE WAS "NO... NOT CURRENTLY BOWLING", HE SEGWAYED TO HOW I WAS HOOKED UP.
MY BOWLING (BUZZ) ANSWER IS... I'M MARRIED AND I HAVE MY SECOND HUSBAND LINED UP. (INSIDE WORLD... I'VE GOT WHAT I WANT AND HAVE ANOTHER OPTION IN MY HEAD... (SHUT UP... IT'S MY INSIDE JOKE)WHICH APPARENTLY SAYS TO "JIM" AND THE OUTSIDE WORLD, I'M NEARLY DIVORCED AND HAVE A BOYFRIEND. NOW I HAVE TO EXPLAIN... YOU MAY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY IF YOU ARE WILLLING TO TAKE THIRD. OH
YES, I DID. JIM WAS HIGH FIVING MY LINE UP AND BAILING AT THAT POINT, AND WAS UNWILLING INVEST IN MY RETIREMENT PLAN.
