A Little Down Time

The past few weeks have been SUPER busy! I spent almost a week in Indy with Jenna, then I came back to tons of work at the golf course and "the barn" (aka Comer HQ) for the past week. Today was my first chance to catch up on sleep!! Not that I haven't been sleeping, but I've been extremely restless...too much buzzing through my mind to shut down and get the much needed rest each night! I was so exhausted last night I could barely keep my eyes open to watch American Idol! haha (yes, I love that show!) ;)

I had good intentions of getting lots done at the golf course today, but when I got there, I couldn't find the folding chairs we put out around all the tables. So, I washed all the tables and chairs we did have out and called Jesse to locate them! Unfortunately, they were not at the course, so that will have to wait for another day. We did get our shipment of 1,200 range balls for the driving range today...so I lugged all 120+ pounds of those into the clubhouse! haha

Toby has been enjoying the change in our new habit today. He has been sleeping on or near me all day, little rascal! ha :p I am admittedly enjoying an easy day after all the 10+ hour days here lately... The next two days will be somewhat busy at the barn, getting the guys to sit down long enough so we can put all their info into the new programs. :) Friday afternoon I'm heading to Shenandoah HS...I am helping pick the slate of officers for the District 9 FFA team! I'm pretty pumped about it! Should be interesting, I think there are 16 kids interviewing with us. It will be a LATE night, so hopefully I won't have much to do Saturday...although I have a feeling I'll be cleaning at the course and getting some more stuff ready for the season!

Hope you're having a great week! Stay warm! ;)

Tired Tootsies

My feet are aching tonight...it's been a long couple of days! I usually don't let little stuff bother me, but I'm tired AND my body is tired! haha

The past few days I have been starting the process of cleaning/organizing the clubhouse at the golf course. I managed to wipe the walls and ceilings to rid the place of cobwebs! (Note to all: I HATE spiders!!) After knocking down all the dead bugs and cleaning out the window sills, I swept the carpet and moved out all the small furniture. Today mom brought her carpet shampooer (is that even a word?!?) to the course and we cleaned the carpet. It is AMAZING! If only you could see how much dirt and grime we sucked out of the carpet! haha Not to mention that while cleaning, I've also been taking membership payments and dealing with people stopping by to golf...and no, we are NOT open yet! ha On top of cleaning, Jesse has had to get the heat hooked up, turn the water back on...and today while doing that, had to run to town to get parts to fix one of the leaky pipes. It's just been one thing after the other! :p

And to add to all my fun, I've been trying to help Jesse & Matt get the office up and running. It's ALMOST there! All the office equipment has been purchased and with any lucky (I'm not holding my breath) they finished the office remodel this afternoon/evening! It is looking pretty good and will look very nice once I get in there to CLEAN and set everything up! I still have tons of organizing to do, but in a few weeks I think we'll have it operating to everyone's standards. :)

I am having a good weekend overall! Jenna came home last night for the first time since Christmas! haha Zach was also home last night because he left from Indy today with his sister, brother in law, niece, and cousins for Florida. :p Wish I was there with them, but it was nice to spend time with him!! He came over and we all had dinner together. :) :)

Well, I'm going to rest for the remainder of the evening! (I say rest, but really I mean sit here and do computer work while watching tv! The work NEVER ends! ha)

Hope everyone is enjoying the absolutely GORGEOUS weather!! If only it were sunny and 72 year round! Oh wait, then we'd be like Florida! hahaha ;)

Has Spring Sprung?

When the weather warms up, it means one thing for me...HOURS & HOURS OF WORK!! :p Today as the temperatures spiked, I have been busy indoors working on everything for the golf course. I feel like I have surfed more internet sites than humanly possible looking for supplies that we need. It is really insane how much companies charge for things that really shouldn't be THAT expensive! Argh! I have become an expert on the range of prices and the quality of those items...and the companies that sell them over the past month. haha I am very ready to have everything in hand so that the course can be opened. Luckily, things are going well...and with any luck, Jesse & his dad, Gary, will have the office redone by the beginning of the week so that I can get crackin' on all the bookwork! I only have one thing left to order for the golf course...the nets for the driving range! Well, that's a lie really!?! haha I have to order drinks, snacks, scorecards, etc...oh to just be done!

I'm ready to be out at the course and see all my members again! They definitely make the job worth all the hours!! haha

Here's to prayers for continued warm weather and the golf course opening soon...and being busy!

Toby & his Squeaky Bone

As promised (although I should be working!) here are a few pictures and even a crappy video of Toby playing with his new squeaky bone (which is identical to the ones he had months and months ago). Also, yes he is EXTREMELY woolly these days...spring can't come fast enough so it'll be warm enough that he can get a good hair cut again!

Enjoy!





PS - I'm excited! Jesse is drywalling the office today...which means that I should get to set everything in place over the weekend/Monday because they have to get their corporate taxes done!! YIKES! :p

Argh...back at it!

I've been home from my 6 day trip to Indy for about 2 hours now...and the work is piling up quickly!! :p

I made it home, unpacked my vehicle, and played with my lil Tobers for awhile! Apparently he has been missing me (or so mom tells me). I was pretty excited to see him too because while I was in Indy I FINALLY found the squeaky bones he likes...and bought all 3 the store had! haha He has been without a squeaker toy for awhile now, but every since I cut the tags off it and dropped it on the floor, he hasn't been without it! He's so funny. I'll download the pictures I tried to take of him playing with it a little later and post them in another entry.

I still have to unpack everything...it is currently looking like a war zone on my bed and desk! ugh!

I made a phone call to Jesse and boy oh boy did we pile on the work for me! Note to self: should have enjoyed my last day of freedom for the next 8-9 months instead of being a good employee! haha So here in a few minutes I need to get started on some plans and then I gotta go clean the clubhouse the next few days! Fun, fun! :p

On a side note, I really don't have any pictures from the remainder of my Indy trip. Jen and I had lots of fun just hanging out together. We even spent Sunday evening with her friend, Fei-Fei. That girl cracks me up! haha :) Jenna did introduce me to 2 unbelievably sinful bakeries in the area...let's say its a good thing I don't live in the area because I'd probably be a real porker (even more so than now) if I did! ha Funny thing is...I'm not really a "sweets" person!!

If you are ever in Indy, you have to go to 62nd & Allisonville to get some goodies from Taylor's Bakery. Everything is good...we've tried several things...so just give it a go! ha If you are in Carmel on S. Rangeline Rd near the Arts District, you HAVE to go get a cupcake (or 2 or 3!) from Holy Cow, Cupcakes! I really waited until today to come back home because today was the first day that the cupcake place was open again after the owners were gone on a trip...and let me tell you, they are SO scrumptious!! YUM!

And last but not least, a friend of mine from Pittsburgh was in town on a business trip this week, but unfortunately our plans didn't go so well and I didn't get to see him. Not gonna lie...I was bummed 2 days in a row about cancelled plans, but the silver lining was that Jenna and I had dinner at Don Pablo's last night and I learned another short cut through Indy/Castleton that I used again today! It's great! haha

Hope everyone else is having a great week! Happy Hump Day! :p

Silence, Infidel!

Last night I took Jenna to the Jeff Dunham comedy show in Indy for her birthday! We had an absolute BLAST!! :)

I have seen every one of his shows multiple times, to the point of knowing it word for word, and yet it is just as funny every time! haha The usual characters were at their best last night...Walter, Achmed, Jose, and even though he wasn't going to bring him out but because a bunch of people had emailed him, Bubba J! It was GREAT! I have lots of pictures posted on Facebook and Myspace and am working on uploading all the videos I took to my YouTube account.

Enjoy a few samples of our night! Hope you're having a fabulous Friday!! :)

Nothin' Much

Well, it's been almost a week since I last posted anything...I really having nothing to report! It's been pretty quiet around here, well quiet for my life! haha

I've been helping Jesse & Matt get plans together for redoing their office. Spent plenty of their money over the weekend to order our new electronic equipment! :) Most of it is due in tomorrow or Thursday, but unfortunately I can't put anything together or start working until they get the office redone. ....this could take awhile! ha :p

Today I cleaned out the Mountaineer! Boy oh boy did it need it!! I ran it through Mike's Car Wash when I helped Jenna move in January, but the inside had not been cleaned in quite some time! I always love having a clean car!! :) It's not like there was a bunch of junk in it, but my family and friends always tend to eat in the car when we're on the run...so french fries and straw wrappers under the seats...ha...and just the normal dirt and grime that accumulates over time! I'm gonna take it through Mike's when I'm in Indy this weekend.

On another note, I guess my Indy trip is the big thing happening for a few weeks. We're celebrating Jenna's birthday this weekend, since she didn't get to come home. I'm taking her to the Jeff Dunham comedy show on Thursday night at Conseco...we LOVE him & his puppets!! :) We have other plans for the weekend, but I'll save those details for after the fact so I can post some pictures from it!



Hope everyone is enjoying their week! :)
