Golfing and reading

You may (or may not) have noticed I haven't been around much. That's a sure sign I have been working my ass off at my job. Hate that! I keep saying I'm going to look around for a new job, but I never do. Not much time for reading either.

They want us to work weekends too, but I said screw that. Bob and I took off this weekend in the RV. Went camping over at Potholes State Park which is over the mountains in Eastern Washington. Left on Friday after work. Weather was sunny and warm with some light clouds. Bob wanted to golf over at Sage Hills Golf Resort and I was going to sit at the campsite and read. But Saturday morning he decides he doesn't want to golf by himself and wants me to go with him. He said he would rent an electric cart and I could drive it. Then he suggested I bring my book along to read (when I wasn't driving ... of course). I said "But honey, you need the exercise!" and he said he would walk and I would drive the cart. I said "Let's Go!"

I love driving the golf cart. I did this one other time and had a blast. So Bob would hit the ball and I would tear off down the golf course looking for the ball, then park there, whip out my book and read until Bob caught up with me, changed clubs, and whacked the ball again. In between, I would offer him golfing advice :)

Me: Honey, the wind is behind you.
*Whack!*
Bob: Shit, the wind's behind me, I hit it too hard and overshot the green.
Me: You should always listen to your caddy.
Bob: ** gives me THE LOOK **


Me: Oooooo, honey, that wasn't a very good shot!
Bob: ** gives me THE LOOK, again **


Bob: Damn, I hit the trees again.
Me: Why do you keep hitting the trees?
Bob: **gives me THE LOOK, again **
Me: ** time to keep my mouth shut **

Bob: Where's the ball washer? I need to wash my balls.
Me: *** no comment... ***

Really it was all in good fun. We laughed and joked a lot. I learned some new swear words too. Overall it was very relaxing for me. Very quiet and peaceful out there on the fairways. I got some rays and the cool breeze kept me from getting too hot (remembered to put on sunscreen this time too). Very fun driving the golf cart and I got really good at spotting his ball (*** OK, no comments from the peanut gallery ***). We had dinner in the clubhouse afterward and the food was surprisingly excellent.

What was I reading that I couldn't tear myself away from?? The Rainbow Season by Lisa Gregory. It was EXCELLENT! I can't remember who told me about this one. Well, it's been in my TBR since 2004, but I keep thinking it may have been KristieJ. It's a western historical with a copyright date of 1979 by Candace Camp and a tortured hero to die for. Very emotional and very HOT. I had a few quibbles but it's a keeper because I know I'll want a re-read. I had no idea that Lisa Gregory was Candace Camp but it doesn't matter because I've never read her either. I see that it has a sequel, The Rainbox Promise, but I'm wondering if it's any good. Anyone read that?

I also finished Lover Revealed by J.R. Ward this weekend and loved that too! Another good book in the BDB series. This one is Butch's story and I think I liked it more than my twin. :) I may do a review on this one too, but I haven't been reliable lately so don't believe anything I say. BTW, I hate the lessers and couldn't care less about their stories. Skipped all their crap. Complete waste of time. Oh, and John is a real pain in the ass. Just saying.
