Golf Yesterday

Rich and I went out to a different golf course yesterday, other than our usual par-3 course that we were getting bored with. We had looked it over online and thought we might give it a try. It didn't seem so daunting on "paper". It was only a 9-hole, but it has several dog legs and 400+ yard holes...Ugh! It was tough. Not only was it hard to manage this more difficult course, neither one of us was having a good golf day. Mistakes all over the place and hardly managed to get any distance with our swings. We never even finished. We walked off at the 6th hole. :( It was very depressing.

It's Only Tuesday?

It sure has been a long day. Cooking real dinner sure does take it out of ya. Okay, just kidding. It wasn't really the dinner that wore me out. I actually felt pretty satisfied in that accomplishment.

I just can't believe it's only Tuesday, yet Wednesday is lurking just around the corner, and before I know it the weekend will be here.

Just in case you were concerned, my car is running fine. Maybe Rich was right...I got a bad tank of gas. You can't even tell that there was anything wrong with it as well as the engine is running now. Crazy!

Tomorrow is another running day for me. I'm psyched! (I'm sure EmiJo is, too.) LOL! My legs are feeling sore after Monday's run, though. I never can predict how I'll feel after a run. I would think that I'd get past the pain if I do the same thing every time, but that hasn't been the case.

I'm golfing with Rich after that. We are planning on going to a different course to break up the monotony. It's a little scary going to a new place. The fairways are longer than what we're accustomed to, and if we have people following close behind, it puts the pressure on to rush. I guess we'll see how it goes.

Catch ya later...

Car Problems

My car has been making a different chugging noise the last few days, so tonight when I started it up to leave church, it was really running hard. I was afraid it wouldn't continue running. After starting it up and shutting it off a couple times, it started to kick back into a more normal sound. A friend followed me home, just to be sure I didn't stall out somewhere.

Rich was home with a migraine, so he wasn't really very happy when I told him the bad news. He was kinda grumpy, in fact. He thinks I might have gotten a bad tank of gas, but I can't imagine that it would act the way it is because of gas. It seems a little more serious than that.

I don't know if my car will start in the morning, but I guess I'm not really worried about it right now.

Dinner

Alright...I've finally broken down, and I'm gonna make "real" dinner again. For those who don't know how I have been preparing meals, since I HATE to cook I have been buying those frozen pre-made meals that you just throw in a skillet, put the lid on, and 10 minutes later... VOILA...you have stir-fry. I imagine I am probably spending more money on one meal than I would if I bought all the ingredients and prepared a meal that had leftovers. I also wonder what's in those prepared things.

So I AM going to make real dinner. I'm going to the grocery store this afternoon...with a shopping list and everything.
