And So It Begins

Well today D and I went to a Judo tournament in NC.
It was a long drive there, but it wasn't nearly as bad as driving to WY so I didn't mind :)
When we got there, they were holding it in this high school area, and we got a really good parking space.
We had to leave Ricky and Cocoa home, but our neighbor Britta watched them for us. I set up a box with their food and leashes and left it on the table so she could find it easily. I was sad to leave them behind, but hey, it would've sucked to take Ricky!! He would be hyper and peeing inside the gym. So I guess it worked out. First thing, D went and weighed in. He had pre-registered online so all he had to do was sign a waiver.
After that we got to go eat at IHOP. Funny thing, we ended up going to the exact same one we went to several months ago for his other Judo tournament!!! Best omelette I have EVER eated :)
Well D won his first match, and it was a rough one too!
Since it was an open competition they had him compete against a black belt and a soon to be black belt! He signed up to not be in an open competition, meaning he was supposed to duel or "randoori" with people in his own belt range but they had him in with everyone. Those last two matches went by really fast, but what do they expect?? That's not something he would pay for, to get thrown by people much more experienced than he is! But they turned it into an open competition because not enough people signed up. Because of that he didn't place, which is really stinky to me, but we had a good time anyway!
I got new shoes yesterday! So today I wore them with my new pants too and I felt very stylin'.
I got two pairs too because it was buy one get one half off at Shoe Carnival.
My boss put $20 in my paycheck envelope with a note that said she was greatful for all my work and it was for my new shoes.
I ONLY SPENT LIKE $40 because of all the sales!!! I was pretty excited.
I'm silly like that.
Anywho.
D asked me if I would like to drive his new car for awhile and I ended up driving it all the way home! Long drive! But guess what? We only had to fill up once and it was a four hour trip both ways! It drove very smoothly too, it was lots of fun.
D and I are watching the Lost series on Netflix and we have like 15 episodes left. It's a mind freak!
It's super crazy.
LOL.
Well I am getting bored of writing. So, SIGNING OFF :)

  2. Honey I love this new blog. Diary and updates for the family all in one. Sounds like you two had a very full day, I'm sorry Dahm's match didn't follow the rules like it was supposed to. He would have won if it had I'm sure. Glad you enjoyed driving the new car what great gas mileage it gets. Lunch sounds very yummy. I adored the photo blog of Ricky and your day at the park. Some silly dogs just don't understand how stylish clover chains really are. :-) K love you honey. :-)
