*This post is actually from last night, but for some reason my Internet decided I didn't want to be online anymore and wouldn't do anything when I was trying to post this.*
Tonight Ryan and I had our first golf lesson. It was good. I was nervous! The teacher is really nice though, I really like him. And Grandma Kzoo's pastor is in the class, and he's a really nice guy. That was a pleasant surprise. But I was afraid that he would get annoyed with me, because sometimes when Josh teaches me things, 2 seconds later I forget and he has to teach me again. I was kind of worried that he would think I was really stupid....But I feel pretty good, because out of the 10 of us in the group, there are 3 or 4 who have never golfed at all. Like never even picked up a club. I think I'm okay. Plus, he's the women's golf coach at Kalamazoo College, so I feel like he's pretty used to ditzy girls!
Anyways, tonight we learned how to properly grip the club. I was pretty confident that I had that down pat, but I did learn a few new pointers so that was good. Have to give him credit, it was raining so he had to figure out something we could do inside! I'm excited for Thursday, when we will actually get outside and hit a ball or two...hopefully. It's supposed to rain again though. He is going to individually help us with our swing, so that will be good. I tend to move all over the place when I swing, and I'm not supposed to. I hope he can help me!
Sad story: He has an 8 month old baby and his wife just died unexpectedly from a stroke 3 weeks ago :( He totally didn't seem like he just lost his spouse to me (or Ryan), but Josh said he seemed different from when he had him as a teacher in the fall.
After our lesson (Josh came with and golfed while we were learning) we went to Panera for dinner and then over to Target to visit Miss Nikki J :) The boys got some delicious drinks from her and we looked at the golf stuff, but Target doesn't really have that great of a selection so that didn't last long. They do have a large selection of Tiger's gear in that same aisle, and I really wanted to buy Carsten this adorable Tiger's onesie, but Josh said he didn't need it. Ha.
Nikki came over when she got out of work for Glee, of course :) It was another great episode. They almost tried to make us cry...we felt like we should have been, but we weren't. It was so good though. Love it. After that we watched a couple Golden Girls episodes...quality. We were only half watching though because of course we had to talk :) But we caught a few funny parts.
I almost don't know what to do with myself, having 2 close girl friends (work Kim and Nikki). I haven't had a good girl friend for quite awhile now...so it's so different for me. Especially having 2! Whoa. But I like it. Boys are great, but they don't always understand things like girls do. Especially talking about boys to boys. They just don't get it. Boys are silly.
This is so weird not having to worry about going to bed on a Tuesday since my day off is Wednesdays now, which I'm not totally okay with, but I guess that doesn't matter so I have to deal. Boo. It's just going to make Wednesdays suuuuuper long, because Josh leaves for school at 8 and won't be home til like 10 at night. Which before, when I worked and didn't get home til 7, that was okay. But allllll day?? I'm going to go crazy. Yikes.
Yesterday was ridiculous at work. Seriously. This is how genius our boss is: Monday KaSondra called her and told her she could work Tuesday but not close like she is scheduled, because she had a meeting at her other job she had to go to. So anyways, Genius #1 never told anyone, so yesterday at like 3 when KaSondra asked who was staying late for her, none of us had any clue she was even leaving early. And I had already had to get someone to stay late for me for my golf lesson, so there were 3 of us out of 5 who couldn't stay late. Guess that doesn't give the other 2 much choice. Ugh. They just think we don't need to know anything...and it totally screws us over every time. And if we try to complain, they just turn it into a joke and try to act like it's no big deal. Okay maybe if it only happened once in awhile it wouldn't be a big deal, but when it's every single day that something like that happens...it's a problem.
My parents are in Virginia! Lucky. I wish I was in Virginia. Well, maybe not Virginia. But I do wish I was on vacation. The place they are staying at doesn't have internet or phone service at the moment, so they are like in Little House on the Prairie times...but that's probably okay. Sometimes it's nice to be totally cut off from the world when you're on vacation. I hope they have fun. They deserve it.
Haha...Ellen just made a funny on American Idol. Oh Ellen. You crack me up. Casey and Michael just sang 'Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman' and Ellen said "Well yes, as a matter of fact, I have loved a woman." Hahahahaha. I'm not for the whole gay marriage thing AT ALL, But that Ellen, she sure does make me laugh...and that was just a perfect play on words.
Josh and Oscar are cuddling in bed and it is adorable. Josh keeps rolling around and Oscar will whine because Josh usually ends up on top of him a little bit, and then he'll readjust himself so they are good again. It's quite comical. I love them. Sadie was zonked out on the couch and decided not to participate in family cuddle time tonight. She'll come eventually thought I'm sure. She can't stand to be apart from me that long. She loves me too much :)
Okay bedtime....goodnight!

Can I just tell you that I was SO excited that you guys came to visit me at work. I love you. I also loved our girls night, and I love that it's something that I can look forward to each week. What are we going to do when GLEE is off for awhile? Oh man, we're going to have to come up with a plan.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited that we're real friends. Just so you know...Really excited. You're wonderful. Thanks for listening to my ridiculous "problems" and giving me advice to try to fix them. It's much appreciated.
