tootin' my own horn

March 5th, 2007 at 03:22 am

Just so happened that at bowling tonight, I bowled a 210 game (6 strikes in a row) - 547 series, which was the highest on our set of alleys. Just so happened that this was also against my brother, a 200 average guy, who I don't think that I have EVER beaten. We are a very competitive family, in a good way. But this is a very sweet victory for me Smile (we also beat him and his wife in our pinochle match this afternoon!)
Spent a bit today - $40 for two weeks of bowling, $35 for the sitter, $35 in books and puzzles for the boys. I had two hours to kill after showing a house (buyers not interested Frown) before I had to be at the card match, so I stopped in at the Christmas Tree Shoppe and TJ Max. My goal was to find a few jigsaw puzzles for my two year old who shows quite a proficiency for them (he shows my 3 year old where the pieces go). I found four very reasonably priced puzzles on the clearance racks. I also picked up a few books for Easter baskets, a few St. Patrick's Day cards, and a new photo album. (side note - I found a birthday card for my niece who was born on St. Patrick's Day - and they had four different ones to chose from! Imagine, four cards that all said "Happy St. Patrick's Day and Birthday!" What will they come up with next!). I don't usually buy cards, but my MIL and SILs always send them to my boys and I thought it might be a nice surprise to send one back. Well, that and they were 50% off!
Pondering calling in sick to work tomorrow - I don't feel too bad, other than the sore throat, but I work with people who often have compromised immune systems. I don't want to spread around the germs. Still, I feel guilty calling in when I feel good enough to work - we'll see how things look in the morning.

    I've only bowled once... and I got a 49. My 9 year old did better than me, and scored 67 I think.Big Grin

    But 200 , I understand, is extremely high! So, congrats on your win!
