home on the range...

After my Scrabble club meeting yesterday I decided to go and whack some more golf balls using my golf all year card that I've blogged about previously. Hmm ... I'll have to find some time to blog about my Scrabble games. I managed to beat the club director again ... and I beat him by a nice margin and scored the bingo SEAFOOD (79 pts.) as the second highest of the day. But I lost to Lisa by a narrow margin and totally blew it against David where I lost 50 pts. for being almost 5 minutes over on my time and had a sub 200 pt. game! Then played dad several times this weekend beating him all but the last one where he scored an awesome bingo of JARGONS for 104 pts. on a triple word making another triple word at the same time. It totally kicked ass and I was only able to close the gap to about 25 pts. at the end.

But I digress. I had a great time whacking golf balls Saturday evening and the weather was lovely ... not at all like today where it rained, and rained, and rained some more. Ugh. Today is also the 100th Anniversary of Mother's Day which was started in Grafton, WV by Anna Marie Jarvis in 1908. This Mother's Day was a wet and cold one though as I drove through a monsoon to get to Huntington to meet up with my sister and her family. I was transporting my parents and it took us over an hour to get seated and that ran me into my 4pm hearing slot for my court. On the way back through Charleston I didn't have time to take my parents home so I stopped off with them at Books A Million while we waited to see if I would be needed at the hospital (since there was a case certified). Dad and I played a game of Scrabble while we waited and then I got the call that I would not be needed. We played a second game and that is where dad got his play of JARGONS and was so thrilled about it. And he should be. It was an awesome play. I went home and slept for several hours which could be why I feel wired now ... okay ... time to talk about Bill Clinton.

Oh, and for the record I've only done about half well this week on my diet and exercise plan. Things got sort of busy and I got thrown off. But I'm getting back on that wagon ... hopefully tomorrow!
