Just the mere mention of that word sends shivers up my spine. I'm not scared of it...necessarily. Rather, it's a strict fear of how horrendous I am at the game. I play lots of games and sports. I like Soccer, football, too. I even love a great board game (anything Cranium brand.) However, bowling is the one thing that I have determined that I will not ever be able to accomplish well. Thus, I lead to my story from yesterday:
We had headed to Kingsport to make a McAlister's tea run. Before tea, we were walking around the shops there. We went into Jacob's Toy Box (a toy shoppe) and ended up finding a few games that we thought about purchasing. However, what we decided on was a set of BOWLING DICE. After that, we went to McAlister's, got some tea, and sat down to play.
The dice are pretty neat, but plainly colored. They are black and white with Bowling things on them...pins, Xs blanks, and slashes. The thing is, I can roll Monopoly with the best of 'em (uh...okay, pretty well.) So, I thought, "Yes! It has nothing to do with bowling, except the scoring. I might be able to do well here and even win!"
Well, I started out okay. A couple of strikes in a row! Then it all went downhill from there!!! Meredith ended up rolling something like 5 or 6 strikes in a row...while I'm rolling 3 pins, 2 pins...AARG!! Bowling wins again!!! Meredith beat me three games in a row!!! When it comes to bowling, I just can't win for losing.
Wish I were a Turkey :)

For you it's bowling. For me it's golf or skiing of any kind.
Keep smiling and be careful what you wish.....
I am really bad at bowling. But the first time I ever went bowling I was taken by my neighbor who played in a league. Yes you guessed it I won!!! From then on it was down hill. I am about the same with golf, I played with my neighbor in MN he was 20 years older than me, I never beat him!!
