If only...

What a great week-end! If every week-end was like the last one, we'd die broke with giant smiles on our faces.

The good stuff started on Thursday with the new season of Survivor. It was really good, and we have 10 people in the pool. I only wish that it was on 3 times a week like Big Brother was. Other than Survivor, Desperate Housewife, Grey's Anatomy, and maybe CSI Vegas, there are no other shows that I'm into, which is a good thing, I have a lot of books to read, (and an Indigo gift certificate from Deb burning a hole in my purse). So anyway, I'm loving that Survivor is back for another few months.

If you read my post on Friday, you may have got the sensed that I wasn't feeling too great. It was a busy day, but it ended very well. I felt better, and after running around half the county I met up with the girls at Karen's house. I hadn't seen NFL or Rachelle in a long time, and The Other Liz always has great stories. It was nice to see Bek again, and of course Tania. I didn't stay too long, but we I was able to catch up a little and have some laughs.

On Saturday morning Billy and I packed up our clubs and a cooler and headed out to Grand Bend. It was a great day, not too hot, and no wind. We arrived at Oakwood Resort a bit early and discovered that the course was absolutely packed. I mean there were people everywhere. Apparently they had a few small tournaments planned, and we were squeezed in there somewhere.

We were pretty anxious to tee off, and were just about ready to go, when the starter realized that we were not part of the O'Grady tournament. Another O'Grady siting in less than 2 weeks! We ended playing directly behind them with a couple from Tecumseh who were given a gift certificate to stay and play at Oakwood as the husband just retired from the CAW. Luckily they were a very nice couple, and the husband Glen complimented my swing many times which made me feel great.

The play was really slow. The course was packed. It is incredibly nerve racking teeing off on the 1st and 10th holes, as you tee off from the deck, just off the restaurant and bar, near the proshop. Needless to say, there was a gallery of onlookers, and of course I duffed my shots to start both of these holes. Ugh, embarrassing. Billy showed off well as he hit the green with a 3 wood on his drive on the 10th hole, (then 3 putted for par...)

I finished with a 90, which is really good for me, (although it is only a par 70...), but it was relaxing, and Billy and I were joking around the entire time. After consuming a couple of beers on the course we enjoyed the company of our golf mates on the beautiful deck which overlooks a couple of holes. It was a great night. Dinner was excellent, and the drinks were flowing well.

We arrived at the Acorn Lodge (that's where the Lion's Head group was staying) at about 10. I felt bombed and sloppy, although I think I only had about 6 drinks over the course of 7 hours.... I only stayed up for an hour visiting then crashed on the futon mattress in the back of Billy's pick-up. It was very redneck of us to toss a mattress in the back of the cab and sleep, but we didn't want to impose on any of our friends in the cabins. It actually worked out great, and at about 7:40 am, we crawled into the front of the truck and headed home.

I had a pretty busy Sunday work-wise, but it also ended on a high note. I picked up Kim at 6:30 and we went to Big Tony's (the old California's) for Michelle's (Squishy) farewell party. It was nice to see some people from the office, and Michelle appreciated the gesture.

I hope to be at home most evenings this week. Last week was pretty busy, which translates into expensive, and I'm looking forward to more great week-ends, and some serious couch time in between.
