Frazzled

I've been running around like the proverbial chicken this weekend and it looks to continue well into the week. There are errands to be run, prep for a work visit to Washington, DC this week, my brother's birthday (Happy 16th, Jay!), cleaning, chair shopping, dinner with friends, a special election to vote in, and maybe, just maybe, a chance to enjoy the promised 50 degree weather.

All in all, though, everything seems okay because I didn't have to wear snow boots or mittens this morning. It seems positively balmy out at a high of 43 degrees. Enough to make me dream about swimming last night, apparently.

This weekend was not all work, though, as my brother Jack spent the night with me on Friday night and introduced me to the world of Tiger Woods PGA Golf on XBOX. Readers, I may be turning into a gamer.

And here's the thing: I don't even play golf in real life. But it is AMAZING on the game. I spent no less than 3 hours of my life this weekend playing. For the first time in my life, I know what a Birdie is...or a Bogey. And, you can customize your little golf person to somewhat look like you--only wearing fancy fashionable golf attire.

It has inspired me to call up Friend Jeanne and ask for golf lessons when the weather is warm enough. I have a feeling, though, I'll be a tad disappointed when I can get Par like I can on the video game.

I wonder if I'll have to buy knickers to wear on the golf course?
