This made me laugh

What would basketball season be without a few good commercials? I just saw this on one of my favorite blogs, Boiled Sports, and had to share!

As BS blog mentioned, Bobby sure has gotten a lot of fame from throwing those stupid chairs! I personally can't stand Coach Knight, but that may be because I grew up in a BLACK & GOLD home! haha ;)

Enjoy!

Who are we?

Who are who are who are WE?

We are we are JCD!!

CONGRATS TO THE 2009 STATE 1A CHAMPS...JAC-CEN-DEL EAGLES!!!

Our town is about as proud as it gets! There have been red and blue balloons on every street sign and lamp post in town for the past several weeks. There are signs and banners on every lawn and business...

Eagles, Wild Things, Gray Skies

Good Luck Jac-Cen-Del Eagles! The boys are playing the for STATE 1A CHAMPIONSHIP today in Conseco! I think the town of Osgood will be completely desolate today. haha Jenna is attending the game as she lives right in Indy, but they sold 2,000+ tickets to regular season ticket holders and MANY others purchased tickets through Conseco. G-O, Let's Go, Let's Go, G-O, Let's Go!!

As a kid, did you ever read the book Where the Wild Things Are? I remember reading it, but I can't say that it was ever a favorite. I have several friends that loved it and even some who's kids enjoy it... I saw this today on the web. They have made a movie from the book and it actually looks really good! (I know it shouldn't amaze me the things they can do in movies, especially since an ex of mine works for George Lucas, but it always does! ha)



It's another cold, gray day here in southeastern IN. Blah! We did have a few lovely hours on Thursday afternoon/evening and several people came out yesterday to the course despite the cooler temps. I'm still waiting for the glorious spring/summer weather to be here! Hopefully it's nice NEXT Saturday because I'm hosting my first ever event at the course! (It's one I planned, named, promoted, etc....yikes!)

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

For the Love of....

RAIN!!

Well, it's another lovely rainy day here in southeastern Indiana....and for once, I don't mind! haha My day started off with a bang when one of the girls who works at the course called me before 7am (and yes, until then I was peacefully sleeping in bed) to tell me that she wouldn't be able to work today because she'd spent the night in the ER!?! Oh frickin' great! Don't get me wrong, I'm sincerely worried about her, but now I have less than an hour to get ready, check my email, try to do a few of the things I needed to do this morning, AND make the 10-15 minute drive to the course! I hurriedly got myself ready and then mom called from town and said that the farther south you went, the more rain there was...so I called Jesse and we decided to close the course for the day! Yippee! Only now - - I am already up and dressed! Ugh! I'm one of those people that just can't go back to bed once I'm up, so I've been quite productive in getting my To Do list wrapped up. :)

Rainy days always make me tired anyway, so tonight I will probably CRASH! ha Sunday was a terrible day for me, Monday was slightly better, Tuesday was good, today is down again...only Lord knows how the rest of the week will be! The weather people are all calling for rain through Sunday...yuck, yuck, yuck!! One day of rain is good in the Golf industry, 2 is bad, 3 is terrible, and 4+ is downright miserable!! Our little country course can't handle THAT much rain, so in all likelihood we're gonna be closed for a few days. Bummer.

All in all this year is MUCH better start for the golf course than last year....so far anyway! haha Last year for the first month or two it rained every Friday-Sunday. Talk about killing your revenue!! On the nice days we've had, we've been swamped...so hopefully we can keep that going with some decent weather! So God, if you're reading this...please bring me a nice sunny, slightly breezy summer! ;)

Hope everyone else is enjoying their day! Here's to rainy days and cabin fever! Don't you just love Spring Break time? haha

Sunny Sunday

A few quick notes:

1. My Boilers are still dancing! :) Way to go guys! The game was a "sit-on-the-edge-of-your-seat-have-a-heart-attack" game, but was no less a true Boilermaker game!
2. I seem to be passing through this cold I have acquired quietly...thankfully! I went from sore throat, to a slight cough, to now feeling a little stuffy. All in all, I am surviving!
3. The golf course officially opens tomorrow for the 2009 season! We're pretty much ready to go. Mom has to help me do a few things today and then I can happily say I feel like we're ready to see people in masses tomorrow and every day after that...ha
4. I'm slightly bummed this morning because I thought today was the day of the Napoleon Fireman's breakfast (major yummy for anyone who's never been), but it's actually NEXT Sunday! :p
5. Also a CONGRATS is due to one of my alma maters...the JCD Eagles (not the HS I graduated from, but may as well have been since I only spent my Senior year at Switz Co) have advanced to the State Finals in Class 1A Basketball!! Go Boys Go! My Senior year, many of my classmates were on the last team that went to Regionals. The boys are ranked #1 in the State right now and if you saw the line of fire trucks last night driving up Hwy 421, you would understand what kind of mob will be in attendance at Conseco! Bring home the nets!!!

I hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful weekend! It didn't get quite as warm as I was hoping for, but it's been nice nonetheless. Right now I'm just waiting for Mom & Toby to get up (we have trained Toby to sleep in on Sunday mornings! ha), then we'll get ready for our Sunday usual routine.

Catch ya later alligator! :p

R-O-W-D-I-E

ROWDIE that's the way we spell Rowdie, Rowdie...let's get Rowdie, get Rowdie!

haha...okay, so that's a little more than corny, but give me a break!?! I just got less than 5 hours of sleep and I worked about 15 hours yesterday! I'm so behind on EVERYTHING, but no choice other than to press on.

Besides being completely exhausted from cleaning and working at the golf course...trying to fit in all the bookwork for Matt & Jesse...trying to keep all my bookwork/laundry/sanity...and still doing "normal" stuff with Mom and Toby pretty much has me frazzled. Yesterday was a complete nuthouse and with any luck, I can bring today back to slightly less nutty! :p

I am excited that the Tournament starts today! :) I have always been a huge basketball fan and generally fair pretty well in my picks, but this year I hurriedly made my decisions due to having no time left to get it filled out...one has to wonder how good their picks can be when it comes at 1:45am?!?

In other news...things have been quite busy since I last posted anything. I had the pleasure of attending the District 9 FFA Convention and worked with a Past NY State Officer to slate their new district officer team. There were definitely some memorable moments, but you really can't appreciate it all typed out...and frankly, I'm too tired to go into that much detail! haha Jenna made a surprise dash down home Saturday to join me, mom, and our friend Jessica Geisler for dinner at The Grub...then she went to Cincy for the Flying Pig Swing dance. Sunday I wasn't feeling all that great (still battling a sore throat) so I let myself have an easy day. The week started and I haven't had a chance to slow down yet! I've been up for an unpleasant amount of time already this morning and need to get myself ready so I can tackle the many projects once again! All I can say is...thank you rain! :) Now I don't have to sit at the course all day and can get my many other projects finished!! (well, mostly finished..ha)

Hope you're having a great week! I'll try to post some pics over the weekend of the golf course improvements, but you may have to wait depending on the weather and how much we get done!

Happy Spring! ;)

Pine Hills Golf Course

To answer Molly's question (and mainly because it wouldn't let me post another comment for some reason!?!), I manage Pine Hills Golf Course in Holton, IN. It's a small 9 hole golf course that was truly neglected by it's owners. A family friend decided to lease the course last year and after making LOTS of improvements, here we are getting ready to start the second season!

The course still has quite a ways to go in order to be the type of place we all envision, but I have to say that every little detail helps!

Hopefully everyone will come out and see it! Our driving range will be open this year...thankfully! :) Also, I designed a new logo with Jenna and Zach's help. We also have new scorecards coming that feature one of Jenna's pictures on the front! (She is officially a commissioned photographer! ha)

If you get time, bebop over to our new website. It's still a work in progress...it's getting there! :p
