Well, dropping the ball would be cheating in miniature golf, so I can see where she's getting that.

Yeah, but winning isn't the point of miniature golf for me. It's all about the trash talk.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Stuff vs not so much stuff people --- a whole 'nother place to go. DH called 'us' stuff people. I am not a stuff person. At least not in comparison.

You miniature golfers. A menace to the sports world.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Heh. Was that my friend Carol? And how did you respond to that?

It was! I said, oh, I know him!

miniature golf is better than golf because it acknowledges the silliness of putting a ball in a tiny hole.

Y'all know I'd never get any money to do any sport, right?

Our local mall now has indoor glow-in-dark miniature golf.

Oh good lord. A friend just got engaged to this guy. (He's as charming as he sounds.)

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Steph, don't fear, I LOVE lists. I kind of wish my entirely family still wrote letters to Santa telling him what they wanted.

I do place a premium on getting things for people that they need or genuinely want.

When I had my Jesus birthday, lots of people bought me thematic Jesus presents which was sweet and I appreciated them, but frankly it was the thought that I appreciated more than the gift. It's often true of gifts.

And its compounded because the things I really need (help paying for childcare, money for gas) are not really gifts to be given so much.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh good lord. A friend just got engaged to this guy. (He's as charming as he sounds.)

I can't wait to see where they register. You may have to give us minute-by-minute updates on the progress of their betrothal.
