Yesterday there was a bowling tournament yesterday. I wasn’t going to go because we didn’t have the money but a friend of ours offered RC to pay for us to enter. The deal was, He’d pay the $60 for RC to enter then RC would just work off what he paid for him & if I didn’t place and win any money back, we would use $60 from our EBT card, since he was using the rest of his grocery money to pay for my entry into the tournament. We went down there & I honestly didn’t bowl the best I have ever bowled but I ended up at the end of the last game at 5th place. So I made it into the rolloff. 3 of our “group” from Thayer ended up in the roll-off!! There was Jimmy in 3rd place, then me in 5th, then Randy in 6th. So, since I was in 5th, that put me bowling against the guy who ended up in 4th place. Then Jimmy and Randy bowled against each other. I couldn’t let the guy in 4th beat me by more than 8 pins because I only had 8 more pins handicap than him. I beat him scratch by only 3 pins lol. I was sweating pretty bad on that game. So that put me bowling against Jimmy. (17 years old by the way). I had to stay with in 19 pins ahead of him because he had 99 pins handicap and I only had 80. Whew.. Lemme tell you that was another close game. I think in then end, I only beat him 30 pins scratch. He had a 218 plus handicap & I had a 229. Yeah.. Let me tell you if I wouldn’t have pulled 2 strikes & a 9 pin in my last 3 throws, I’d have lost that game!! My last game, I bombed. It was the 8th game that I bowled that day. I’m wishing I would have stayed on top of my game & bowled like I should have but I was really nervous for even getting that far into the tournament and I’m damn proud of walking out of there in 2nd place & after paying back Walter the $100 that he gave me to get in, I walked out of there with $205 in my pocket!! Yea!!

Michael has been doing so awesome with his potty training!! He had an accident tonight, but I really don’t think he could have helped it. The poor boy had diarrhea so yeah. I found out tonight that my uncle has prostate cancer. I’m hoping everything works out for the best! Also my grandma has some kind of cyst on her brain & she’s going to the doctor on Thursday to find more out about that. I’m really hoping that nothing bad comes out of either of those 2 situations.

Would you care to spare a vote for me?? If you vote, please let me know by commenting with your “real first name” & I will make you a name graphic!

The Sapphire. Beautiful blue gemstone of the month of September. This is my birthstone! I have a necklace that I wear that I recieved as a Christmas gift from my wonderful husband! My mother and father in law have taken a liking to collecting gems that they have found at different mines around the North Carolina/South Carolina region. So they have a couple or more sapphires. I have seen them in many colors. She has had some pink, blue, grey & purple ones. In the following article that is found Here I got a nice piece of information. I had no idea that the sapphire couldn’t be the color red. The sapphire can be cut into many different shapes, You can have them in diamond patterns, heart patterns, circles, squares, etc. You get the picture right?! Fancy sapphires are considered very rare & can be pinkish/orange, orange, pink, a variety called Padparadscha. The Padparadscha sapphire is one of the most valuable sapphires found. The more clear & the more vivid the color of the sapphire, the more valuable the sapphire is. I think there are plenty of beautiful gems out there, but blue is one of my favorite colors & I guess I just really like the way the blue sapphires look!
