Wha'd Up?

Last night was our 3rd golf lesson.  We knew going that it was International Women's Golf Day and from 4pm-8pm they had some things going on. We showed up and went down to the putting green for 715 and we were the only ones there.  Still no one there at 745 so with a great debate we decided to go ask someone if they knew what was going on.  Twin 2 found the coach and he said that he sent out notification that our lesson was cancelled....we never got any notification.  He suggested that we go down to the putting green and practice and we told him we were already there for 1/2 hour.  Then Twin 2 asked if we could use the driving range, he said sure, then he said better yet why don't you go out and play a few holes.  So off the Twins went to play some holes.  By this time it was 8pm and we were cold but we played #1, #2 and drove to #9 and played that.  It was chilly and we decided that we were warm weather golfers.  We always knew that but the last few times we've been out its been confirmed. 

Tonight is our regularly scheduled bike ride for the Bike Challenge but right now its pouring.  It is supposed to clear up so we will see what tonight brings.  It is allowed that we can bike on our stationary bikes which might be an option if its still raining hard. With the challenge so far so good on being right on track.

Tip Tuesday

If one of your car lights is burnt out make sure you are buying the right bulb replacement.  Otherwise, if you put the wrong one in it will mess up all the other lights and will confuse you even more.  The front and back ones are two totally different bulbs and connections (for Signal Lights anyway).

Learned from experience.

WE ARE TAKING GOLF LESSONS!

Every Tuesday evening at 7:15 for the next 5 weeks we are taking golf lessons.  They are 6 weeks but we had our first lesson last night.  We joined a Lady's Clinic at Brunello Golf course.  Last night was the first lesson and it was PUTTING.

http://www.brunelloestates.com/golf-course/

A few fun facts (rules) we learnt were:

1- If you put your knee on the green when marking the ball or reading the green its a 2 stroke penalty

2 - If you are on the green and putt and hit the flag post then its a 2 stroke penalty but its not if you are putting from the fringe.

He had us doing different drills and he had us putting with our eyes closed as Putting is all about feel and you have to trust your putt.

Maybe our Wednesday blog will be about our "golf tips" we learned. HA!

Friend Requests

Twin 1 goes to bed rather early some nights and this sometimes means she wakes up in the middle of the night and decides to see what is going on in Facebookland.  She apparently is half asleep while doing so as she wakes up in the morning seeing people have accepted her friend requests....who are these people?  People from Europe....

but it wasn't the Queen, that request is still awaiting acceptance.

Wha'd up?

Anyone else ever throw out your shampoo bottle and forget to put in the new bottle and don't realize until you are showering and the only options are :

1 - get out and run to the hall closet to get it
2 - use your husbands

Twin 1 chose the latter. No one has commented on if she smells like Old Spice, not to her face anyway :-)

Motivational Monday

We did it!  We signed up for the Great Cycle Challenge to Help the Kids fight Cancer.  There is no motivation like putting it out there on Facebook saying we will bike 300k (150 each) for the month of June.  150k is from Moncton to Halifax....that sounds like a lot now but we know we can do it!

Please sponsor us and donate to help the kids fight cancer.  Our team is called "The Twins"

Mile A Day In May

It's that time of year again for Mile A Day In May.  

We forgot all about it until CF mentioned it and asked if we wanted to do it again.  The regular crew is back which includes the Twins, CF and JN.  We pay $1 for every day we don't walk/run a mile.  Perfect score so far for all of us.  JN (male) has gotten in the habit of growing his hair.  We are trying to get him to cut it and hoping if he won (or lost) the challenge he would cut it lol but to no avail.  He's now at the length where he can wear a man bun (YUCKY!!!) and a youngin' told him he was killing it so yeah, he's not cutting it.  Also to add to the mile a day CF is doing the 30x30 Challenge where you spend at least 30 minutes a day in nature for 30 days.  This kinda goes hand in hand with the mile a day if you can get your mile in outdoors.  CF is doing great so far.  The Twins had a day or two on the treadmill. 

Before this happened Twin 2 and her husband each bought Fitbits to try and challenge each other on who could get the most steps and to honestly get Twin 2 moving more (as per the prescription from her Dr.).  The goal is to reach 10,000 steps a day and this mile a day is helping a lot (along with the nice weather we have been having).  Twin 1 now has a Fitbit too.  She has Twin 2's defective one and Twin 2 was sent a new one from the company.  Great customer service!   It's only defective in that you have to charge it every day as opposed to every 7 days lol. First world problems right here! lol

Anyway we'll see how the rest of the month goes :)
