Well the weekend was a good one but it seemed way too short, I seriously woke up this morning wondering why my alarm was going off .... I could have sworn it was Sunday! ?!
Friday night we ended up going over to a friends house, it was a nice visit but everyone there was a smoker and after hanging out for four hours in the tiny apartment that was full of smoke I started to feel quite sick, we ended up getting home around 1:30am.
The bowling banquet was Saturday night so I didn't do too much during the day and hubby was out at the track getting it "race ready". I wasn't very happy with the banquet, a few years ago when my FIL was treasurer we voted to change the order prizes were handed out and that we should do all the team prizes before the high single prizes. This worked out good cause then people that were really good bowlers didn't end up with 5 prizes before the not so good teams even got one prize! This year however they went back to the old way of handing out all the personal prizes first then the playoff prizes so by the time our team went up to pick prizes there wasn't very much left and we had crap to pick from! I feel riped off cause I paid $72 to bowl for the year (the same as everyone else) but since our team didn't do very well the prize I got was a pasta bowl set that I will never use and a $10 gift card for IGA and hubby ended up with vases, a ice bucket and some wine glasses!! :( I wish they would have kept the order the same as last year, and we thought that the lady in charge grouped too many prizes so when you got your prize you might have ended up with 3 like my hubby cause she considered that one prize! ? If she would have left them separate then maybe I would have had more of a selection to chose from or a better chance of getting a "door prize" !? It just made me really angry that we paid $144 for a $20 meal and two $30 prizes, I probably wouldn't be as angry if the prize was something I wanted or could use!? As for the meal, it was OK - lots of carbs which normally would be bad but since it's really the only thing that I can have it turned out OK! There was buns (of course), 2 salads (cesar and pasta), a pickle and cheese tray, perogies, cabbage rolls, mashed potatoes, roast beef, roast chicken and mixed veggies. I was also angry that we had to pay for pop and water!! Most event now a day's try to promote safe driving and let the designated drivers have pop or water for free!! I think we should have raised enough money through the year to pay for a couple pops and if we didn't then they should have raised the price of booze by $0.50 to cover the cost!! O -- and the lady in charge of buying prizes apparently spent money of her own so she set up a 50/50 draw so that she could get her money back!! I think this is BS ~ it's not my fault she spent too much money, she was treasurer and should have been keeping better track of the books and known how much money was in the bank! I think she just did it to give herself a wage for the season .... needless to say we didn't buy any 50/50 tickets! If it's the same people in charge next year, I'm not bowling!
Saturday night after the banquet we were going to go over to a friends house to celebrate his birthday but he ended up going out of town so we stayed home. Sunday hubby went back to the track to try and get things ready for this weekend and I stayed home to clean. I forgot to mention that on Saturday I made some more dog cookies - the hamburger ones this time! She seems to really like them and they don't seem to give her as much gas as the pea/ garlic cookies did! ;) Tonight we have our first prenatal class, I'm not sure what to expect, I really don't want to pretend to be going through labor practicing my breathing skills around all these strangers so hopefully we won't be doing that!?

I found the classes dry at times but helpfull, as for the breathing, all the other mom's and dad's are doing the same thing so you get over the "i feel stupid" thing pretty fast. Well at least I did. Have fun, I'm sure if anything you'll get some great info there.
Take care, sucks about the bowling prizes, sounds like this lady doesn't have a clue.
