So every year, we join Sunday night mixed league bowling. Today was the first meeting to establish the rules and stuff about the rest of the bowling year. We bowl for 31 weeks, so yeah, it’s a pretty long time. (at least I think so!)
Anyways, crazy enough, the lane charges didn’t increase for the season, however, the USBC increased their renewal fee to $17. I guess that’s not much in retrospect, but last year it cost around $14 if I recall correctly. I’m just realizing that league bowling is a very expensive fun time event. Each week we gotta dish out $9.50 for each person. So for couples, of course that’s $19 a week. Which I’m guessing isn’t that much from what I hear other say. But at the end of the year we’ve paid out $589 bucks for the whole season.
Someone told me, “Yeah, but you can earn that back in earnings at the end of the year.” Dude. Hello, we’re not the PBA here. We’re league bowling in a normal town. This isn’t a national championship. LOL I think the top bowler for the season got like $50 bucks and a patch/watch or whatever. (oh wait, I got the watch for a highest handicap game.) Anyways, that’s hardly $589.
Of course, we get other priviledges like $1.50 games when we’re not league bowling. So on our days off from bowling, we can bowl more. :P No, seriously, we enjoy it, because we get to see people we would probably never see otherwise, but holy cow, some days, you just don’t want to bowl.
As a side note, this brings up a friend whose son is just starting to play football. He’s paying $150 to play football. Wow. I sure as hell don’t remember it costing so much to play, but you know, those pads cost quite a bit of money. Crazy!
So how about you? You have any hobbies/interests you do every week? Do tell, curious minds (like mine) want to know!

psychodaisy: LOL
artman: Dude. I’m sitting right behind you and you’re not really “Laughing Out Loud”
psychodaisy: I’m laughing out loud on the inside!
artman: …
psychodaisy: Um. Why are we instant messaging? You’re sitting right behind me!
So today I loaded up the dishwasher. While this may sound like nothing major to you, to myself, this is a major deal. I almost never use the dishwasher. Personally, I’d love to get rid of the dishwasher, if only to get more cabinet space. In our kitchen, we just don’t have storage space. I had to buy one of those rolling cabinet/islands in order to get more space and an extra drawer. (of which we only have 2.)
I was just feeling overwhelmed with the number of dishes. I know I should have washed the dishes last night, but I was tired, and didn’t really feel like doing much of anything. Talk about lazy huh?
Of course, on top of that I’ve gotta clean this house. Holy cow. I’ll probably get to that right after I make this post.
Oh, btw, I did manage to make cashew chicken. Unfortunately, while it wasn’t bad, I didn’t quite get quite the sauce I was looking for. I think I know what I’m missing, but I’ll think about it and try it out the next time I do cashew chicken. :)
