Tids-N-Bits - 3

Well, Friday, I am happy to say......I came straight home from work and did my first 'Couch 2 5k' workout. I sucked at it big time too! I may be one of the slow kids that has to repeat the first week. We'll see. I know I'm way out of shape, so I'm just glad to be doing something...even if I'm bad at it.

After my workout I went to our first bowling meeting/practice. It seriously should have been a 20 minute meeting to go over the rules. That *%&^** meeting lasted over an hour. There was one person that kept questioning EVERYTHING!!! And he was arguing for the sake of argument. I mean seriously, this is our league's 4th year. So, the rules are pretty much the same every year....we're not trying to reinvent the wheel here. Seriously, it was like watching paint dry! The Annoying One, as I will call him was on my team when I bowled 3 seasons ago. I really couldn't stand him then either. He is an odd one to say the least....and that is about as nice as I can be about it. Bowling night is his big night out...he lives for it! Now bowling is fun....but seriously, it isn't THAT fun! He kept wanting to put the stupidest things to a vote. I finally made a motion to move on and half the room seconded my motion......done! Moving on! So, I only got to bowl one practice game before I left because I had to pick up Zander.

Saturday was my sewing class. It wasn't really what I expected. For a beginner class I guess I thought they would go over the basics a little more. But we got right in to the pattern for our tote and started cutting and sewing. Our teacher was really nice, but there were 8 students, so she was really busy the entire time. She did stay later than our 3 hours so we could finish. The first lady that finished was all serious about her tote. She didn't talk to any of us and her whole mission was to be done first and leave. Her attitude made me look absolutely giddy! Which I'm usually not.....but I socialized and had a good time. I met a couple of nice people, Annette and Katie, they were a mother and daughter that were taking the class together. The other ladies were nice but I didn't catch their names. And, I was the 2nd one in my class to finish my project. Here it is....my new tote:

Sunday was church, I worked in the nursery....I could have probably used a good sermon to remind me to be less judgemental of people. But, alas, I didn't hear a sermon.....so, woe is me! I heard several crying babies because their mother's breastfeed and so they didn't leave them any bottles....but I'm not bitter yes I am....you could at least leave them a bottle....geez...would it kill you....you mean your baby is 9 freakin' months old and you can't leave it a **&^&%&^^ bottle......thank you, you thoughtless *(^&*^(*)......I love having 5 crying babies for 1.5 hours I know this is a hot topic for some......but its not fair to caregivers if you are taking your boobies with you and leaving us with nothing to calm your child. Uh, and they tend to steal other baby's bottles then too. I'm just sayin'........


Then my family all met up later in the afternoon at my sister's house for my nephew's 17th birthday party!!! Zander had a good time playing with all of Dara's toys - and Ella's too apparently....










I did take other pics besides Zander. Not many though, as my battery went dead. I did take some of Dara and Zander though that deserve their own post.....so those will be up later this week.

Bushism O' the Week:

And, I'm going to end this with 2 Bushism's.....because I have forgotten to add them the past couple of weeks.....and well, in the past 7 years there have just been too many not to share:

Yo, Blair. How are you doing? --George W. Bush St. Petersburg, Russia 06/16/2006 to Tony Blair at the G8 summit

But the true threats to stability and peace are these nations that are not very transparent, that hide behind the --that don't let people in to take a look and see what they're up to. They're very kind of authoritarian regimes. The true threat is whether or not one of these people decide, speak of anger, try to hold us hostage, ourselves --the Israelis, for example, to whom we'll defend, offer our defenses --the South Koreans. --George W. Bush Washington, DC 03/13/2001 in a media roundtable discussion
