lot ‘o stuff going on lately…

i’ve been playing golf again.  weird, because i was sure i was done with golf.  wade and i decided to go out a few weekends ago, and since then i’ve been playing once a week.  i bought a net a few years ago but was always too lazy to do anything with it, and i finally set it up in the backyard, so i’m even practicing a lot now.   christopher gave me the serious hook up with a mat to hit off of and a couple of sleeves of balls.  super awesome.  the time off actually helped my game, because i’m a lot better, even though i still suck.  i only lose about one ball per nine holes now!  sigh. 

was in DC last week for business.  wasn’t as social this time, as i didn’t have the time to really hang out and didn’t give peeps enough notice to clear their schedules.  hung with jol tuesday night for dinner and all-star game watching and went bowling with the team wednesday and split my thumb open pretty good (didn’t realize how good until the next morning).  i’m not even sure how i jacked it up, but i guess the bowling ball had a nick (knick?  something) in the thumb area and it cut me up.  though, it didn’t happen to anybody else, so i dunno what i did wrong.  i beat them, so maybe i need to cut my thumb before all bowling outings.

thursday night was kind of rough for us.  when i got off the plane and checked my celly, katy left a message on her way to the hospital in what they thought was “early labor”, or something.  yikes.  turned out to be not early labor and was something along the lines of “false labor”, which sounds a lot like “we don’t know what happened or why, but you are ok now”.  the next couple of days she was fine, so all seems good, but it was kind of not fun.  they gave her a pill that made her shake, so she was getting her “muhammad ali” on by the time i got there.  we saw the kid again on ultrasound, but still don’t know the sex (i thought we might see something, but an ultrasound just looks like the cable went out).  the little turd weighs 2.5 pounds right now.  cool.

went to a braves/pirates game this weekend and hung out in the fancy schmancy suite hosted by a friend of katy’s from childhood.  it was her 30th b-day and she was throwing a party for her friends and family in the area, which was much the cool.  first time in a luxury box and it was pretty sweet.  i still prefer to be on the field, closer to the action, but you can’t complain about air conditioning in the middle of a summer in atlanta hell…. and free food and drinks!  super cool.  the braves also won the game 5-1, so it was a good outing all around.

the kitchen is coming along.  it’s typical construction type stuff…. wicked progress initially and then a snail’s pace.  katy is being the foreman on this project, and using the pregnancy to her advantage… “i’m pregnant and CRAZY, you better get this job finished!!  RAARRRARRR”.  it’s pretty awesome, especially since it’s not directed at me!  she’s got them on target more lately and we’re seeing progress again.  gotta buy our material for the counter tops and get the appliances this weekend.  poor bank account.Â
