What I have to show after a four day weekend...

Not a lot, unfortunately. I did a lot of playing on the computer. Some standing in line to buy shoes (hey! There was an exciting outlet sale!). We ate Indian food with a friend, went bowling (I won) and played video games until my brain started oozing out of my ear. I also baked some peanut butter chocolate chip cookies and did so by improvising my own recipe after screwing up the recipes I looked at online. They still taste good.

Oh, and I finished my next mix cd for my mix cd group. Shhh... It's a secret though because my partner hasn't gotten it yet. Unfortunately I can't find links to a couple of the songs... What do you think??

Bowling Night!

Friday night we decided to go bowling. Leah was occupied but Steph, Matt and I decided to give it a go. It was a lot of fun and really amusing since it happened to be the bowling alley's 50th birthday. There were a lot of announcements about door prizes (we weren't eligible since we're not league members) and free cake. We had some laughs and kicked Matt's butt. I've always liked bowling. When I was a kid we were involved in league bowling. If I had a regular schedule I would totally look into joining some sort of fun league.

This banner caught my eye at the bowling alley. Apparently five pin bowling is the 4th greatest Canadian invention of all time. I found the list and was a bit surprised that bowling managed to beat out the pacemaker, the electric wheelchair and the zipper. It's fun but does it really change people's lives? Yeah, I don't know about that.
