I've Got Nothing

Sometimes a day is just that, a day. Well, Friday has been that kind of day. I had the privilege of playing a round of golf with my brother and Brad. Playing golf is always a fun way to spend a few hours. I’m not good, like I have stated before but I give it my best. It amazes me that you can put a good swing on the ball and one silly kick can ruin what was a good shot. I have enough bad shots that I cause why do I have to have help from nature when I actually hit it well. Oh well, it was a good time and it is always nice to spend a little time looking at nature. Brianna and I made a mad dash out to the barn to try and meet the farrier. We missed him but got the update on Johnnie and Yonka from Mrs. Kathy. All is good with the two of them so we just waited on Michelle so we could head to Brandon for Little Mikey’s 7th birthday shindig. Michelle and I got the wild hair to stop by the Polk County Administration office to see Brianna’s artwork on the way to Brandon. Why not let the kid see her 1st place art design that has been on display in the corridor of the county’s offices. Guess what, they took it down today and replaced it with some other display. So just to recap; I missed putts and fairways, missed see the horse hoof guy, and missed seeing my daughter’s artwork. After a second of pouting the family cruised to Brandon to the kids Mecca known as Chuck E Cheese. This actually turned out to be really cool. Michelle and I don’t really afford ourselves the chance to go on dates. Tonight turned into an impromptu date night with 200 kids as a backdrop. We played games, held hands, and even gave each other those cute little kisses you give your sweetheart when you first start dating. There were times that the only noise I could hear was the sound of the game we were focusing on trying to beat one anther into oblivion. Michelle and I have fun playing but it always who is going to score more points. We played skee ball, football accuracy games, basketball shooting, pinball, a type of wack a mole, and even a nascar game. It’s amazing to me that she still loves me enough to let her guard down and just act like a kid and play games just to have a little fun. We ended the pizza and game fest by having some family pictures “etched” a one of those cheesy photo booths. They turned out real cool and I will cherish that evening with Michelle and Brianna for awhile. Tomorrow is back to our normal life. Brianna has horse gymkhana in the morning and I am heading up to Dade City to get my suspension serviced. One night of family fun time will have to get us through until the next time we can let our hair down and act the fool. Today’s workout out was box squats and then 4 rounds of rope climbs and back squats. I did three sets of three sets of box squats with 95lbs. They were a little different to me. Since I don’t have a rope to climb I used the lat pulldown machine and attached a towel through it. I put 110 pounds on the rack and knelt on the ground and pulled the towel down with the right arm and then the left arm for 16 reps. I did 10 squats for 4 sets at 115 pounds. Pretty simple workout but the entire four sets were done with no rest.
