Pre? Plan?..........

I've been hearing a particular word that really annoys me. I don't believe it's correct. The word is "pre-plan". Pre (loosely) means before. Plan is something that you do before-hand as well. So do people mean that they plan to plan?

Another is "conversate". People converse with eachother.

Argh!!!!!

Guess that's just the journalism geek coming out in me. Has anyone else noticed a spike in these words?

Alright...........

Sorry it's been so long.

Those chicken pot pies that I was refering to were Marie Callender's. GREAT! Sarah......oh Sarah......they are SO MUCH BETTER in the OVEN! It takes a lot of time though & I know you're busy, but MAN, they're good that way.

The bowling team finished in second place, so we each took home $75. I was fine with that, but one guy on our team of four was royally pissed. He got way too much into it.

My team consisted of two girls & two guys. Meghann is one of my old friends. Erin one of her friends & JC is the psycho bowler.

JC completely gets into it, right. He has the metal/cloth, wrist support thing....not to mention his ball/bag/shoe combo. JC will give you a high five when he has a good roll, but when he has a spare or worse, he won't do that. We have to resort to the fist pound instead. He never failed. I went in for a five when he picked up a spare, but I just got a fist in my palm. Also, yes, he will five me when I throw up a fist pound after a his strike.

Meghann & JC actually started to date during this summer of bowling. I don't really hang out with Meghann much now because of him. His nerves completely got to him in the championship when I was across the table swilling brew. That sort of competitive attitude ruins the whole thing for me. By the way, I bowled about 20 pins over my average....while RELAXING and swilling brews.

I'm glad it's over.

Now, I'm back into the groove after my amazing vacation. It was great. I believe that I've updated most of you on that. Burning Man was crazy & I'm not quite sure if I'm going again. The whole thing was like being in a Mad Max movie.

Just bought a djembe drum today! The djembe drum is an hourglass-shaped drum. These are the most versitile-sounding hand drums out there. You can hit the rim & get a high pitch. But when you hit it in the middle, you get a deep tone. It's 14" wide, so she's pretty big. It takes up too much room in my shoebox/apartment, but we'll make room for her. Anyone got any names for her? EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE A HAND DRUM. You can beat the crap out of it.

Love y'all....if you're in my family.....but I guess I love everyone else reading too.....I mean even if you're a stranger.
