Surprising Women
Last night, Steve & I went bowling with two couples. I never thought bowling was so fun. Not to be rude, but they were horrible. We totally smoked them & neither of us had one of our better games. Steve got a 145 & I got 101. The next highest score was in the 80s and the lowest was in the 40s. Obviously, it wasn't some big competition, but it is kind of fun to win. Plus, when did smoking in bowling alleys end? Maybe it only happened in Florida when the law went into affect for restaurants. Anyway - that is a HUGE improvement. Bowling just went up on my list of fun activities.
I have been pretty good friends with one of the guys from last night for about 4 years. He got married this past summer to a really cute and nice girl (about 24 years old). I was shocked to find out that she doesn't know how to drive. Most of us can't even imagine that. Maybe it would be normal if they lived in Europe or Manhattan, but not here. Public transportation in Miami is a joke. She must feel so trapped at times. I want to teach her, but my car is a stick shift.
Speaking of being surprised by women, Steve's friend is dating a woman that is 39 years old. She is quite cute and has been a single mom for over 10 years. She has two daughters in high school. The thing that shocks me about her is that she has NEVER had a savings or checking account, not to mention credit card. I didn't know anyone could function in the modern world like this, so I asked her a million questions. She cashes her check at a check cashing store. She pays her bills (like the electricity, phone, water, etc.) in cash at the headquarters. She bought a used car from a regular (she is a waitress at a restaurant) and was able to pay cash every week for a year. Groceries, clothes, and everything is paid in cash. It is kind of refreshing & amazing to meet someone that really surprises you.
Ok- enough rambling for today....

This blog is like a journal for me. It is also a way for my friends to keep tabs on me.
For people who don't know me, I come from a big family (3 brothers & 1 sister). We moved around a LOT, so I am not really from one particular place. I like to call Katy, Texas my home though.
Recent news, my Dad & Mother-in-Law were diagnosed with Terminal Cancer in April/May of 2005. My dad passed away 5-Dec-05 .
