Last night went well...

Last night was the first night of me being in an official bowling league.   I got to see an old friend from grade school, we used to bowl together when we were kids in  kids league for many years.   I met new several people, we had 3 stragglers and one absent member that formed our team (myself being one of the stragglers).  So our team name might end up being "Stragglers" LOL   Then I met the people on the other team we bowled with last night, fun people.   Next week I guess I'll meet more new people as the teams rotate.  I was so nervous meeting all the new people, guess I have a few weeks of that.  O.o   So many of these people already know each other with the exception of me and Brent (team mate) we are the newbs. Not sure if I'll have anything in common with the people I meet or not.  Just gotta hope to "fit in".

My daughter and I did some "fluid art" today and did two 8x10 canvases each.  Mine are the purple and hers are the blue.  (These are just partial images).

I do believe I used a bit too much silicone oil and so I have LOTS of cells in mine.  Still a lot of fun and a big mess.  :)    Can't wait to paint my wooden trays.  :)   I need to go to the dollar store and pick up a couple of condiment bottles for base colors. 

On a side note, I'm feeling a bit down today, part of it is just being single and wishing my life had turned out differently.  The other is the current situation and financial issues.   Don't know how to deal with all of it.  I feel guilty for spending money on bowling but at the same time I NEED to do the bowling and it covers the Docs orders of exercise, along with the psych's order for exercise and my therapist orders for social activity.  Just wish I didn't feel so awkward about it all.

Things to do

So today is the first day of the bowling league that I'm going to attempt to be on.   We'll see how that goes.  If they have an odd number of people then I may not make it on a team.  I'm nervous because I don't know anyone and also because I don't know how I'll bowl.  I don't want to be shitty but at the same time I do not want to bowl my best either because then I have to live up to that on a weekly basis.  LOL   

First impressions are important to me so I'm going to dye my roots today so there is not so much grey out there in your face.  I wish I didn't have all this extra weight on me too but can't fix that in a day.  I am hoping bowling will help with that too.  I need to find my aperture science mug so I can take something to drink with me since all they have is a soda machine that is usually half empty. 

I realize I have a lot of things on my inner to do list.  I need to start putting them on my calendar and work towards actually DOING them.  Some of it is just household stuff, one is making an appt for my dog to get her shots updated.  She already has an appt. this week for bath and nail trim.   I tried to trim her nails but didn't do a very good job..  My niece does it for a living so I'm giving her business.  I need to remember to get cash for that....erg.   Other things I want to do is work on photographing my jewelry and getting it up on my sites for sale.  Doing some reorganizing in my craft room.  I want to do some fluid art paintings.   I also want to work on making my desk but that might have to be put off for a while since I need to have the room in the garage and the money for the wood.  :(   I looked at prices on prebuilt desks and the ones that are close to what I want are so expensive. 

Well on that note I think I'm going to try and work on my calendar a bit.  :)
