Team J Domination

Happy Friday Everyone!

Or at least Happy Friday to Team J! Tonight Team J was #1 on the leader-board both in our game and in our style. We swept the competition, winning both prizes tonight. JNS won the longest drive (she was definitely lovin' her driver tonight). JLS and I tied for closest to the pin with 5' 11" (from different angles). Quite the day on the course for us.

Also, I made two killer putts tonight. Hole #4, 35 ft putt to par it. (per J. Monson, this is the hardest hole of the course...yet somehow I par it more often than not). Hole #9, 25 ft putt from the fringe...GREAT way to end the round. I heart my putter...and my boyfriend (aka my driver).
Team J is definitely young compared to the other league members, young by at least 20 years. I couldn't help chuckle when I saw this poster in the women's restroom at the golf course tonight...golf is what keeps me young. Even though I may feel 80 years old physically much of the time (i.e. when I struggle getting up off my knees after praying tonight without stumbling) golf keeps my heart and mind young!

Jess Berry Quote of The Day

It's never too late to be who you might have been.

Saturday Night Baseball...Cold!

Yes, JNS snapped this shot upside down and I like it better that way so I'm keeping it that way.

How do you stay warm watching baseball in the bay?
6-7 layers...and gloves are highly recommended.
Yes...I did want the Rockies to beat the Giants...not ashamed of that fact even though they lost.
Top of the 9th, Giants vs Rockies. The overly hyped Giants closer Brian Wilson is pitching and please note that they had another reliever warming up in the bullpen because Wilson almost couldn't handle the pressure. M.Rivera never has to have someone warming up in the bullpen...proving he's a real closer and Brian Wilson leaves us wanting at times. I do NOT fear the beard...sorry folks.
PS: Let me also educate the masses on how to eat a ballpark dog. One condiment: Sweet Relish! Nothing more, nothing less...so delicious!

Flashback: The List of Love

In college SJ documented my fickleness by creating “The List of Love” on Microsoft Paint. Her Dad was a professor so she used his password to copy the photos of seven or so guys I liked at the time plus one guy she knew that I detested, and a photo of my brother, made into a Paint picture, and made it my desktop background. She used the picture of my brother to superimpose it onto a photo of this boy, Daniel, to prove her long standing claim that they looked identical (that was pretty accurate and slightly freaky). She listed them out in order of whom she thought I should like. This practice of creating hilarious MS Paint pictures and saving them as my background was common place for SJ. I attempted for a long time to keep her away from my laptop by changing passwords, taking my laptop with me everywhere but she always found a way. In this particular instance I didn’t look at my laptop until I was in class the next morning, getting ready for a large presentation. Now mind you, I think three of the young men on this Paint picture were in this class, sitting rather close to me so anyone can imagine the horror I experienced when I almost exposed "The List of Love" to my entire class. SJ definitely is the MS Paint master and I simply became her apprentice. I would always protest every time she’d “paint” my laptop but I treasure each of those ridiculous Paint pictures she made me.

I'm not quite as fickle these days, SJ would be proud.

The New Friday

As mentioned last Monday, Mondays are the new Friday. This New Friday JLS joined JNS and I for golf league. A splendid time was had by all...even though we had to explain to JLS that going golfing is like going to the temple. You leave the cares of the world at the door or in this case in the parking lot. Yes you can all quote on that! Heavenly Father knows that I feel next to the temple, I'm closest to feeling heaven on earth when on a golf course. We commune EVERY round!

Happy New Friday!!!
