fun republican week :)

This week has flown by! It was chalked full of Republican functions, summer school and house decorating. My threesome (one guy cancelled) for golf on Tuesday got 3rd place in the "mixed" category, woo hoo! I find that hilarious b/c we drank Coors Light the whole time, it was windy and rainy, one guy golfed barefoot and "Happy Gilmore" style with the running approach, I fell asleep on the cart on hole 18, and hilarious antics like club throwing, foot wedging, and tee kickinng were quite prevalent. The guys used my ball for the scramble-type game because it only went a short distance, but it was on the fairway. They'd hit it hundreds of yards but it would slice every which way and end up on another hole's fairway. Then we had to act like civilized people for the dinner afterwards. I sat with 6 judges, talk about fascinating people! I just sat there and listened to their courtroom stories.

Then the next day we had a "Wine and Cheese" fundraiser at an Italian Restaurant which was a blast! We met the State Chairman of the Republican Party, and drank this fabulous white wine called "Monkey Boy." I called it Monkey Butt by accident and that was its name for the rest of the evening. I met a few people running for Governor and the State and US House of Representatives. Politicians in the area are starting to realize what a great vibe we bring to events so we are being invited more and more....usually free of charge b/c they know we are poor. We got asked to come to this crazy island bar in the middle of a lake so that should be fun.

I did come in and work in the office a bit, making phone calls and such, so it wasn't all play.

Then Sunday we have a suite/private box at a popular race track as a social event for our club. Come on Lucky 7!!! Time to break out a cute sundress and possibly a hat.

I must say, Republicans have made my summer pretty great. At first it wasn't looking too good, what with the big breakup and all, but I've kept myself really busy and immersed myself in the political scene. I've gotten to meet some fabulous people, improved on my golf game with all the outings, and finally have places to wear all my sundresses that have been collecting dust for some years now.

Man, we are such a fun, successful and good-looking group of people! (we can sure drink too...)
