So...Bowling is about the worst sport in the whole world. Yet it's so damn much fun. How is that possible? Every month I loathe having to go bowling, but once I get there I have SO much fun! Maybe it's because I totally feel like I've been warped back to 1989? I had no idea so many shirts with tigers and wolves airbrushed on them still existed! Weren't they banned in like 1996? And if there's ever a world wide shortage of aerosol hairspray...I believe the waitresses at this joint would gladly hook you up. For real, people! Acid washed jeans are totally acceptable in a bowling alley! It all kinda makes me homesick for St. Louis again. Those people have no style.
Or maybe it's because I have an awesome team. Jay Garr is my partner and Stacy Garr and her boyfriend Mike are our teammates. We're an odd team, yes. But we totally rock and we also bring loads of red fish and sour patch kids so everyone loves us. That's my new life motto..."bribe 'em all with candy". It works.
And possibly it's because I am a world class bowler. And here's the funny thing...the more I drink, the better I bowl. Until the last game at least...by then Stacy and my arm's are so tired we just kinda roll the ball like a 5 year old. Neither of us ever bowl over 75 in the last game.
It could also possibly be that I get to see all kinds of people I don't get to see all that often. I'm so happy Julie and Darcey are bowling this year...I love those girls! We've been friends since the single digits! Only now our conversations have switched from how to score alcohol and sneak boys into our tents to chicken pox and play-dates. It's odd, but I'm so glad we are all grown up...together!
OK, enough already. I need ice cream.
P.S. - What was that? I didn't HEAR you?
