Greetings from the Carolinas!
The weather here is amazing!
My parents put together a beautiful breakfast today.
Fluffy eggs and cheese, banana nut muffin, potatoes and fresh fruit.
Plus green tea sis made.
Immediately after breakfast, hubby, Sis and I took off to meet friends for disc golf.
To be completely honest, I really didn’t want to go. I’ve dodged the last few invites from Sis due to her inviting me when I couldn’t go (just as we were leaving town…shucks!), but today I had no excuse. I told Sis last week that I’d go so I was locked in this time. I was dreading disc golf all morning. 
See, I don’t like to do things I’m not good at, typically. Never having done disc golf, I just figured I’d be terrible at it. Not only that, I didn’t want to embarrass myself in front of my sister’s friends (or sis or hubby) looking like a moron.
But, you know what…I reminded myself that the first time I went to zumba I had similar feelings. I was worried I wouldn’t be good at it, that I’d be too uncoordinated and that I’d embarrass myself in front of others. But I went anyways, fell in love and became an instructor. If I had let fear get the best of me, I wouldn’t be having the fun workouts that I enjoy like I do and I wouldn’t have met many of my amazing friends.
So, I sucked it up and headed out for disc golf today, determined to give it a fair shot. Hubby and I even brought Bailey along for the fun.
And guess what…I had a great time! 
I wasn’t all that great at disc golf, but I did meet some cool people, got some QT with hubby, Sis and Bailey and enjoyed plenty of fresh air and sun.
The weather was so nice today, it was really great to be outside.
Group shot: Hubby, Cheri, Michael, Regina, her grand-daughter, Sis.
Action shot!
I had some really terrible throws, but most were average. I did however have 2 highlights:
- 1 fabulous long-distance put that surprised even me
- 1 par hole (got it in 3 shots!)
Sweet!
Cheri got her disc stuck in one of the baskets – totally 0n accident!
Bailey had a really great time – he’s all tuckered out now!
Post disc golf, we headed downtown in search of a treat.
Froyo! We hit up the local froyo place I’ve been wanting to try for the longest time – BlueberryFrog.
I got 1/2 plain, 1/2 peach with mochi cakes (colored ones this time!), raspberries and coconut. It was sooo good and hit the spot!
We came home to a feast: hamburger, hot dog, green beans, corn, macaroni and cheese and baked beans.
I definitely had more dessert – that cake!
After some chill time and watching a couple episodes of Snapped, sis and I went out to Whole Foods for Chic Bar ingredients.
We decided to get Indian for dinner while we were out and hit up Saffron Indian Cuisine, which had gotten a lot of recommendations per Sis.
We were greeted with a lentil cracker with mint/cilantro sauce. It was neat and very good!
Sis and I also each got Indian tea with milk and sugar. It was fabulous!
We decided to split with Saffron Special with soup, Tandoori Chicken, Boti Kebab, Chicken Curry, Vegetable Masala, Basmati Rice, Naan and even a dessert!
They first brought out this single sizzling platter. At first I thought this was the entire meal and silently thought “Ooops” at the thought that we had ordered one entree to share.
Luckily more plates came out next.
Yummy yummy eats!
Our combo dessert was Fruit Firni. It reminded me of tapioca pudding, but fruit flavored with a couple pieces of fresh fruit tossed in. It was really, really good!
Totally awesome birthday dinner – Thanks Sis!
Do you like to only do things you’re good at, too? Or is it just me who fears embarrassing themselves in front of others?

I generally lean towards doing activities I am good at, but I like to do pretty much anything! I am easy to please! I like to think that if I do things that I am not necessarily good at, then other people will return the favor and do things with my that they aren’t necessarily all that great at that I like to do.
I had Indian food this weekend too! Yummm!
I like doing things I’m good at, but I also push myself to do things I’m not so good at. I try to remind myself that most people aren’t paying too much attention to me, and they’re mean if they DO make fun of me. Everyone starts somewhere.
oooh what fun! Why have I never heard of this game!!!!
I have never heard of disc golf.
I have had a serious craving for indian but none of my friends like it. I will either have to go alone or order when my husband is away next weekend… he doesn’t like the smell of the curry.
Haha – I’ve played a lot of disc golf and now I’m always hesitant to go. I’m not very good and usually get tired of the game by the 8th hole – I think the game should be cut in half! Our course is also very wooded and since I tend to throw my discs back in the woods it’s always a challenge to find them!
Looks like you had an awesome day!
I’ve never heard of disc golf! Mmm that froyo looks tasty, I had some for lunch yesterday. haha. By the way, I’m having a Barney Butter giveaway and I’d love for you to enter.
YUM!
Looks like a fun game! Such a pretty day there!
we have a really awesome disc golf course near our house and have yet to use it! feeling inspired now
i’m usually afraid to try new things too but once i try it’s usually not that bad. my husband got me to try guitar hero last week! now, i won’t play it for fun on my own but if he asks me to it’s not too bad.
saffron is AMAZING! i love their lunch buffets! i always like it when u blog about greenville bc it’s where i live
always wanted to try blueberry frog but have not! do get lunch / gelato at luna rosa downtown next time, if you haven’t tried it already. yummy!
My friend was just telling me he went Frisbee golfing the other day. I had no idea we had a few courses around here. How fun!
Glad you are having a wonderful trip.
Good on you for trying something new! Your food today looks awesome. The breakfast looks like a hotel spread and you can never go wrong with fro-yo and Indian food. Delish!
I am TOTALLY the same way! My friends are forever trying to convince me that I would LOVE ultimate frisbee, but with my severe lack of hand-eye coordination, I just don’t see it happening
Aaaaa – disc golf is fun! We have an awesome course on Toronto Island. Good for you for trying something new – and liking it!!
