Ouch, and Boring Golf, and Boring Poker!

Monday I took Triton in to get a flu shot. He does not like the doctor's office. He is fine in the lobby watching the television (Finding Nemo that day) or watching the fish in the tank, but as he is placed on the bed with the paper sheet the tears fly. We weren't there very long, in and out, so it wasn't too bad.
As for me, golf has been pretty good for me. I golfed an even par back nine at Pinecrest for the first time in my life the Saturday before last. My goal for that particular course this year has been to golf under an 80. A few weeks ago I had a great start, but fell short on the back nine, shooting an even 80! This day that I shoot even par on the back was amazing, because I was behind 7 trees on the front, and double bogeyed the first hole. A score of 80 is ten over par, and to be 2 over already after the first hole was going to make it much harder! I only shot 8 over on the front after all of the tree hassle and the double bogey on hole number 1. Thus I shot a 78 and was way happy.
Our computer took it's last breath like a month ago, so that is the reason I haven't been blogging very much. My friend Mikey J (for those of you who might know who I am talking about [he has been my bowling partner for some 15 years now]) tried all he could to fix it. He came to the conclusion that it is simply time for us to get a new one. Thanks Mikey for trying, you know that I won't forget and know that we owe you for doing all you could. We have another computer ordered, but it won't be here for like 3 weeks, because we didn't want to have Windows Vista on our computer. Even though it comes with Vista and a free upgrade to Windows 7 when it comes out in a couple of weeks, we just decided to wait and have it sent with Windows 7 only. Boy, you really don't know how much you use a computer until it is broken. Mikey was able to save us all of our pictures of Triton and some other various documents that we wanted. He is also going to install our old hard drive when our new computer comes, so we can have it as any sort of back up we might need. Again, thanks Mike, you are the best.

So, I haven't been able to play that much poker online. However, I have been winning with the little amount that I have been able to play. I finally hit a milestone that I thought was going to be impossible. I have all 4 of my websites up over $80! I don't know why that has been my milestone mark, but it has finally come. You would think that $100 per website would have been the mark, but for some reason that is just going to be another number! I will be excited yes, because it is $78 more dollars than I have now, but it won't feel like a mountain top! Sorry to throw in golf and poker into this blog, my mom hates it. I, however had to brag about my best round at Pinecrest and my milestone mark on online poker. I tried to make them short mom!

So, I will throw in a bit of bowling to top it off! As I have mentioned before, I have been struggling with bowling so far this year. Average has gone down 19 pins from yearbook (205). I had this idea of why I might be struggling and was hoping this last week would be better. It was only a bit better because the lanes were really tough and I was focusing more on my grip instead of lane conditions. I shot a whopping 142 my first game and finally made the correct move with my feet to combat the lanes and shot a 214 and a 235 my last two games, so I am hoping that I am on to something and will have a better week coming up.
I have to throw in a plug for the movie that I have been loving lately! I just barely finished watching it again for like the 15 time since it's release a month ago or so. I don't know why I love this movie so much, but I do! It is called "I Love You Man." I laugh and laugh, and it really doesn't have any huge moments like Dumb and Dumber or American Wedding that has a million quotable phrases. The whole movie is just funny. It has a few crude innuendos and sexual references, but it isn't even really that bad of a movie. Just a few swear words and no porn.
The year end golf tournament was cancelled until this weekend. Like I said, I know that we won't win, but there is a drawing for a season's pass next year, that would be super nice! I am crossing my fingers on that and also for bowling better this week.
