...what can I say, the golf tournament last weekend went quite well and while we weren't the best team out there (we weren't even close!), we had a complete blast and were able to do some good for a very awesome charity! My team also had the privilege of playing between the President of the Company's team and SS's team (otherwise known as the fun guys from work), which included NR, TL & TL's friend John. While the President of the Company's team took off and played what seem to be a speed round of golf, my team and SS's team had a good time joking around and giving each other trouble for our stances and shots and anything else we could think of at the time. Those guys really are quite the characters and M and I made it a bit more comical by doing cartwheels across the green every few holes. I almost got hit twice by flying balls from NR and TL and they all gave me trouble when I would miss the ball I was trying to hit and my horrible golf cart driving skills. I think my Dad and Bro had a good time hanging out with us also. And really, I'm hoping I didn't embarrass myself too much and they aren't trying to disown me now. :)
The day after the tournament I was beat from the heat and all of the excitement from the day before so I really didn't do much. I had to do my laundry for the week so I stopped by my Mom's for a few hours and then came home to nap and just relax. I did end up cooking dinner for the week too by throwing a roast in my crock pot to make pepperoncini beef. While that doesn't seem to impressive to most, it was to me since I haven't actually cooked a real dinner for myself in weeks.
It was a good thing that I decided to do that too because this past week was crazy once again. Monday was a normal Monday and I left work drained and ready to just come home and plop myself on the couch but I worked out and actually had a healthy dinner. (Go me!!) Tuesday, I was all set to go do some consulting work at 5:30 but at 1:00 I was asked if I wanted to go to the Cardinals game and since I haven't been to a game in a few months, I decided that I could put off the consulting project until this week and I'd go to the game with M, B and TC. The game was a complete blowout and the Cards ended up losing to the Brewers 12-0 but we laughed and had a good time anyway. We even caught up with the infamous Yokohama guy who had all of the girls drooling at work because he was such a hottie and M tried to convince him that he should visit our office again in the near future. We'll see what happens with that! HA! (Quick note: I had never seen the Yokohama guy before because I was busy the day he came into the office the first time, but I can concur after seeing him at the game, he is good looking.)
Wednesday was Boatfest 08 after work. It was the first time all summer that we were able to hit the river and we had a great time! MK took his boat out, TL and John brought their waverunners and TC, V, R, M, SS and myself all came along for the ride. We grilled hot dogs and brats and just BSed in the river until it got dark. It was such a beautiful night and the river was fairly calm.
I decided that since things had been so busy the last few weekends that this weekend was going to be a bit different. I didn't plan anything besides doing my laundry on Sunday and trying to fit in some scrapbooking today and boy did I need this kind of weekend! I was home most of Saturday except for running a few errands and stopping into my Mom's for dinner and to watch the Mizzou-Illinois game. Earlier in the day, while I was home I decided to download some music and update my Ipod - something that I "haven't" found the time to do in months. Music is my therapy and I'm not sure why I didn't get around to this sooner. I'm loving the new stuff I got and I'm hoping to score a few more Pepsi points from my Dad so that I can pick up the last few songs that I'm really wanting right now.
Sunday I woke up and took my time to get ready before heading to do my laundry. While I was leisurely getting ready, I was able to finish 3 scrap book pages. Amazing what I can do when I don't have a million things on my mind and my creative juices are flowing a bit! It was the first time in weeks that I was actually able to put some thoughts together and pump out something that I was proud to put in my Memphis book! After doing my laundry and running a few more errands, I came home and sat down to watch the Sprint Cup race only to fall asleep halfway through it, but I needed my sleep and I was fairly certain that Jamie McMurray was not going to win after dealing with a flat tire in lap 3 and restarting in 43rd place, so I didn't fight the feeling, I just crashed. SS and I both picked drivers for this race and his guy (Kasey Kahne) finished in a better position than McMurray so I'm sure I'm going to hear an earful about my beloved McMurray even though he's not a big Nascar fan. I'm going to try harder next weekend!! It's the last weekend before the Chase so I have to redeem myself before McMurray is completely out of it!
As for today, I spent my day scrapbooking and burning CDs. I was able to produce 4 more pages and I almost have day one in Memphis finished! Woo hoo!!! I cooked dinner once again (watch out, I'm on a roll!) and decided to sit here and update. Man...maybe I should have an extra day off every week. I seem to get a lot accomplished that way!! Nah, they'd miss me way too much at work and I couldn't get everything done in 4 days. I know tomorrow is going to be extremely hectic however, I think I finally have my head cleared enough that I can muddle my way through it all and at least leave there exhausted but in one piece.
Next weekend it's off to the Nascar Craftsmen Truck Series race at Gateway. I'm excited to be going with my Dad and my Uncle Steve. I'm sure I'll have something interesting to post from this week at work as well as from the race. I'll update again soon! Have a great week!
