The adventures of a not-atheletic-at-all girl

So, I've been bowling a good bit lately and it is absolutely hilarious! I think it's fabulous that a good score for me is like an 80 something. My highest score in my entire life is a 103. Last night, I learned about the annoyingness of fouls! I didn't really realize that if your foot went over the line it would give you a foul and you wouldn't get any points for that turn. This happened to me once when I had knocked 9 pins down! I think I missed that part in bowling class. It totally took me several times of getting fouls to even understand why I was getting a foul. Nobody told me and I was extremely confused! Then, I felt really stupid once I realized what it was! My, but I can be so naive sometimes! I did win one game with an 83 but I maintain that it was luck and other extenuating circumstances; it had nothing to do with expertise whatsoever!
So, I am adding another thing to my list of resolutions for this year, even though it is now almost March!
9. Improve my bowling skills. Beat my personal best of 103 and have fun!

Valentine's Day

So, I think it's so interesting what Valentine's Day does to people! My 6-year-old niece decided today that she was in love with our 10-year-old neighbor. Not only was she in love but she was talking about how handsome he was and that she was going to marry him! She actually told him tonight at church that she like him! She just blurted it out! That takes a lot of guts! I totally would not have had the guts to tell a boy that I liked him at 6 years old! That would have been the last thing that I would have done at that age! Shoot, even now at 23 years old, I have times where I don't have the guts to say things I would like to. The lesson in this = maybe I need to take a cue from my Baileigh and just dive right in! Who knows what the future may bring!
I will leave you with one of my new favorite songs, appropriate for Valentine's considering it is from the soundtrack for the movie, "Valentine's Day".

Snow in Baxley, Georgia

It snowed here Friday night!!! It was so excited!!! I am posting some of the pictures from my yard!

Life

Why is life so frustrating sometimes? It feels like I'm constantly waiting for something. I guess that's the life of an impatient person. Why can't I just be patient and let things come as they are. Because I'm OCD, I think. It's nice to be organized and a planner but sometimes it drives me crazy! I want so badly to plan my life, but that's not really how it works! :) I need patience and lots of it! **Sigh**

The death of Razzie

I think cell phone companies are ridiculous!!! Also, I have learned that insurance is always important. The other night I was hanging out at my friend's house. I was handing her my phone to show her a picture and the phone, Razzie, slipped out of both of our hands and plunged into her glass of water. Talk about slow motion effects!! We immediately retrieved her out and tried to dry her off. At first, I thought everything was fine. I was able to call and send texts and all. Then she started acting like one of the keys was stuck. Then many of the keys refused to work. Then, I shut her off and she would not turn back off. So, I made my way to the Verizon store the next morning because one night without my phone was all that I could handle. Due to the fact that I had just upgraded my phone in October, I had to pay full price for a phone because I had no insurance. Three hundred dollars later, I have a new phone. Her name is Lola the Motorola and I really like her but I wish I hadn't had to pay that much for her. The moral of the story folks is: make sure you have insurance for such freak occurrences as this.
P.S. I totally have insurance now!!!

The bane of my existence = Retail stores

Why is it that when you have the time and money, you can never find what you want when shopping? And yet, when you don't have the money, you find tons of things that you presumably need or want. This past Saturday, I went to Savannah for some much needed shopping. First, we went to the Osh Kosh store and I found tons of cute stuff for Baileigh and spent too much! Then, it was time to shop for me and that's where I struck out. I started in Target, I was looking for a boombox called the MiniMove that you can plug your Ipod into. The only ones they had were pink, and though I am extremely girly, I'm not THAT girly! Sigh! Then, we went to CATO to try and find me some jeans. I tried on about 10 different things and absolutely nothing fit right. Mama found a pair of jeans, but not I. My brother had given me a Borders gift card for Christmas and I knew there was a WaldenBooks in the mall (they accept Borders gift cards) so I thought I'd see what I could find. Apparently, they had closed down since the last time I had been in the Savannah mall! So, no books for me! I did finally find a cute shirt at Walmart of all places! Overall, the trip was not very successful for me! It was also a yucky day. It was wet and cold and I like the dingbat that I am had flip flops on! I have found a new appreciation for ordering things online!
