2nd place!! Yea baby!
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!
