Gal Obviously Looks Foolish

That's what GOLF means when I play. The Husband and I went golfing with one of the guys from work and his wife. Our babysitter ended up calling the night before to tell me she couldn't make it but since I was so tired the night before and went to bed at 8:30 I didn't get the message until we were ready to head out the door. So our girl came with us, and she did pretty well...although she did start asking to go home around the 3rd hole. Now this was only a par 3 golf course and only 9 holes (is there par 3s with 18 holes?) which means if you do par on every hole the most you should have is 27 strokes. I had 27 by the 3rd hole...easily. We backed up the course, dozens of people were waiting for us...no, not us...me. I was holding everyone back. It was a sad day. I had never golfed with John, let alone his friend and his wife (whom I hadn't even met before). I was so frustrated and upset that I was on the verge of tears, half out of embarrassment and half out of anger. I'm sure I didn't make a good impression and acted like a spoiled kid who couldn't "get it right". They may never want to golf with us again. So, so sad. However, I will golf again! I want to get better because I feel like I could really like this game/sport but I don't want to go again with anyone but John for a long time.

Garrett has taught golf at Colorado State University and now at BYU. He took me golfing at CSU once and I had the same experience as you, except it was just him and me. He hasn't mentioned going again since then. Come to think of it, the same thing happened with raquetball. Hmmm. I'm noticing a trend!

Wow, I'm sorry. Not an ideal situation for meeting someone new. I'm not good at golfing either, but I like your determination! I have only been 2 times and I doubt it will happen again anytime soon. I just stick to goofy golf. Much more fun and we can bring the kids! You are our favorite golfing buddies!
P.S. Thanks for the great popcorn!
love,

The List

This is an incomplete list of the things I'm trying to do before December 15. I know I'm missing a few things but you get the idea. I wish I had more time, but at the same time, I know I would just waste it and end up doing everything at the last minute anyway. So here's at least a partial list of things I need to do or make: 1. matching pajama pants for my girls and their cousins. 2. 4 more bags and 2 more purses. 3. smallish blankets and pillows for my girls' baby dolls and/or stuffed animals. 4. turn 2 sweaters into Christmas dresses for my girls 5. Christmas shop for John 6. gifts/goodies for neighbors and friends 7. decorate for Christmas 8. 2 tutus 9. Christmas cards? or wait until after the baby is born and send an update with an announcement? 10. finish getting the girls' room in order and looking cute 11. organize the basement and purge the STUFF #10 doesn't necessarily have to be done before the 15 th but I'd like to just get it DONE already. ...

I've been told I need to update the blog so here are several pictures of little Star. She is now just over 11 lbs. and just shy of 23" long. She is just a bit big. Miss Fabulous was nearly 4 months old before she got as big as our Star! She is fun and really cuddly. She really loves to eat (thus the big size!) and sleep but seems to be wanting to be on the move. John has dubbed her "Scooter" because she is never where we put her. She rolled over from her back to her tummy the other day! Still not great at night...sometime she just wants to be awake, but last night she slept 7 hours straight and I'm hoping its the beginning of a trend! Miss Fabulous just LOVES her little sister and is always trying to help. MF is doing a little better in school with a lot of help from her teacher and some from us at home. We are starting her in a program at school where they help children deal with transition, which seems to be the biggest part of her problem. The progr...

In case you're like my mom, who can "never see anything in these pictures", it is baby #2 due at the beginning of August. Hopefully we get to keep this one...all signs say yes. Please keep us in your prayers!
