New Curling broom

My husband's grandma (who we call Nanny) gave me $100 for Christmas to spend just on myself. A rare treat for sure. I normally do what we always do when we get money for holiday's and birthdays, which is to put it in the travel account at the bank.

This year I thought I would actually spend it on something I need. And I need a curling broom. Last year I rented one before every game but sometimes they were crappy. This year I am using my friend Kerri's. She had a baby and can't curl (Ha Ha) so I asked if I could use hers. She has a really nice one with a synthetic top and a light weight handle. So I thought it was time for me to get one too.

I bought an " Ultima Excalibur Carbon Fibre" curling broom. It is bright orange and looks pretty spiffy. Synthetic top and light weight it it is purdy for sure! AND as a bonus it was one sale. The Curling Club got a good deal on them and passed the savings onto us. It retails for 149.99 and I bought it for 99.00 - score!

Still remains to be seen if it makes me a better curler but here's hoping.
