Bowling for Dollars

So I am totally excited to use the new polling function in Blogger. I know, I'm a geek. I haven't decided what I want to poll on yet, but as a market researcher, it's kind of fun.

This weekend, we went bowling at Sea Bowl with some friends. It was fun, but my bowling is terribly inconsistent. In my first game, I had 3 strikes. Unfortunately, every time I got a strike, I got a gutter ball (and a second ball that wasn't much better) which gave me a score of 81. How do you have 3 strikes and only a score of 81? A lot of gutter balls, that's how. My second game I had only 2 strikes, but I managed to not gutter all my other frames, so I ended with a 88. Edwin got the high score of the night with 153.

Today, we had brunch at Ella's with Mike, Michelle, Chris, and Corinne. It was fun catching up with our newlywed friends. Good food, good friends, what more can you ask for? Maybe a longer weekend? This weekend went by too fast. Probably because I also spent it working on both days. I try my best not to work at all on the weekend, so when I have to work both days, I get a little cranky. I think that I will be ending work a little early this week to reward myself.

Not too much to report on the housing front. It's actually been kind of quiet lately. Not too many houses coming onto the market. So we are kind of just waiting. We've seen a couple of houses, but nothing too interesting, so we're just saving our pennies for that down payment...
