holy crap we won

You're not going to believe this....coming from the team that once lost 45-10....but....we WON on Monday night. 11-9. I can't believe it but we actually started playing well. It was awesome. I guess that's what it feels like to win the world series....or close to it.
We were down 5 in the last inning and went on a hitting frenzy. Scored 7 and held them to 3 up 3 down in the final half of the inning. So stoked!

The floors look great still - we love them. Champ and Boomer have no traction on them what so ever so it's very entertaining watching them slide all over the place. Champs (poor guy needs a helmet anyway) is like a pinball - just bounces from one wall to the next.
We need to get some grips for the bottom of the couches because he'll run as fast as he can, jump on the couch, and it'll fly back.
These floors are also fun for me. I find myself when I'm bored, putting on some socks and busting a Saved by the bell slide. It's awesome...cheap entertainment - at least for me! haha

This weeks ventures:
Monday: Actually in Abilene
Tuesday: Brownwood (I met up with our route guy and ended up helping him out...in slacks and dress shoes....not so comfortable)

I'm a travelin' fool. Mileage on truck now: 59361 (ouch)

floors etc

It's been a busy...fun weekend. Friday we did not do a lot except get groceries and watch tv (I know, we're old)
Saturday, however, was different. I met up with some friends to play a little golf...by play I mean attempt to play. I'm awful. Of course, it was my first time on the golf course since 2004 (last time I was in Maui) I had a blast but needless to say, I need some practice before I go make a fool out of myself again. I think I shot a 120 - haha no joke. Apparently in the game of golf, it's the lowest score wins.I thought I was doing good. haha I had a lot of fun and got nice and sun burned.
Saturday night we go to go out to Perini Ranch. Julie's boss gave her a gift certificate out there b/c she's doing such a great job. We love that place....great jalapeno bites, steak, catfish, and bread pudding.
Today we went to church, Julie cleaned, and I mowed the grass/weeds. our backyard is nasty with weeds. They're nice and green thoughI also had softball pratice this afternoon. So between the golf, mowing, and practice - I'm all kinds of tired.

Here are the much anticipated pics of our new flooring. They did a great job and we really like them! There are a few touch ups that need to be done but other than that - it's complete.

Just got back from the ranch and it was AWESOME as usual.

Here's a list of what I had to eat:
1) Homemade bacon/cheddar scones (amazing)
2) oatmeal cookies
3) grilled cheese
4) soup
5) lasagna
6) chocolate crepes
7) cream cheese with rasberry chipotle sauce
8) chicken
9) ham
10) potato casserole
11) chips and queso
12) fiber one bars

I gained about 4 pounds - seriously.

BUT, SUCCESS! I shot a turkey - here are the photos:

20+ pounds, 10" beard, 1 inch long spurs

I shot this Saturday morning - it took me by surprise. We didn't hear/see anything else all weekend. It was a bit windy for them to call and move around but at least I got to shoot one.

stressed

This week has been very stressful for me with work. I've lost 2 big accounts this week alone to the competition due to our prices being higher. I cannot tell you have frustrating and draining that is. I work hard, I do what I'm supposed to and to have 3 weeks in a row with low numbers is getting old! I know, everyone has their highs and lows and you have to take it while it's there, but I'm too competitive for that crap.
I have 1 more account thats pretty huge that I should hear back on tomorrow or early next week, and if that one falls through as well, I'll be spent.

Oh well - it's camo and killing this weekend - so I have that to look forward too. 1 more day of work - hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
