Reasons why not to bowl

It was a fun concept – bowling for your birthday – to avoid the “girly-day” plans my sister had. In fact, I had fun while doing it, but now a couple days later, there are some reasons never to do this again:

 

1. My knees are now 30 years old… and they crack like they are fifty.
2. Pain, pain, pain – and pain everywhere – hips, forearms, thumbs, lower back…. Most of these don’t matter, but the forearm pain in my right hand is bad – it impacts typing.
3. Watching my sister try to bowl left-handed – it was a comedy show really. And it showed up in my dreams.
4. Seeing what my sister was wearing and the fact that it was not bowling appropriate. Let’s just say, it was too damn tight and she spent more time pulling down than actually bowling. She has always been the perfect candidate for What Not To Wear. If I dress her, she looks fine, but right now, she looks like someone who is denying their size while also being a Wal-Mart junkie.
5. No open bar.
6. Smoking was permitted there – doesn’t impact me right away… but that night, the little bit of smoke was felt in my lungs
7. I have a wii at home. Wii bowling – much easier.
8. No homemade salsa at the bowling alley.
9. It was damn cold in there. I think I could have worn a sweater and still been cold.
10. Competition – even though my sister acted like there was no competition going on, she was watching that scoreboard like a hawk. It has always been like that.
11. Talk – talk – talk – talk – ok, so this was for my birthday… but my sister barely talked to me during bowling. Instead it was to mom about her weight, her money, her car, her job, her need for more money… Oh, in the end… the day that was my sister’s plan – turned out to be paid for by my MOM!
12. And although it has nothing to do with bowling, I must have one last bitch about my sister and her involvement with this day. After bowling we went to a cookout at my house. That’s fine. I paid for the food. I prepared the salads. Mom grilled. My sister – she never even asked if she could bring something. NEVER! Ugh!

 

Ok, now that I’m going to have to find a nice place to put my Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow poster – my sister wants it in the exercise room, which for all purposes has photographs of places around the world that I would love to see – not cheesy movie posters – even though Johnny Depp is hot and I like all of the pirates movies – I still wouldn’t have gotten this poster, EVER!

 

It is now time to go back to work. Don’t feel like that either. All of those pains leftover from bowling……..
