Soccer Starts, Sunny Saturday, Sing-Song


The first day of spring soccer dawned sunny and in the FIFTIES! Wow! Sometimes we have freezing mornings for spring soccer, so this was a treat! It was a bit windy at the field, but sunshine is wonderful!

Nine o'clock was the time for James to play, so he and I woke up before anyone else and headed out. He played all four quarters, but seemed to lack energy today. Perhaps he's still recovering from his illness. I hope he plays more vivaciously at the next game. (Tuesday night. I'll miss it.) The score was 0-2.

Bob brought Suzy and David up to the field for her 10:30 game. She played well. Three quarters went by with no goals for either team, but in the last quarter, the other team scored 3 goals. That poor goalkeeper. Suzy has practice Tuesday night and both kids have a game Thursday night. David was the referee for Suzy's game as usual. Very helpful!

I was tired (and revved up with coffee) because I went with a couple friends to a midnight showing of 17 Again, which we found hilarious and extremely entertaining. We both needed some fun time after a very long co-op day yesterday - last co-op followed by the program.

This afternoon is sunny and supposed to hit 74. I should work, but I probably won't. (Thus, the 'slacker' appellation.....)

Why oh why is James repeating everything three times in a sing-song voice? :::covers ears and shrieks:::
"Shall I put them in here? Shall I put them in here? Shall I put them in here? Go look at the fridge. Go look at the fridge. Go look at the fridge." :::runs screaming::::

Do I Know How to Party or What?

I had the MOST fun last night! My original plans changed. Instead of visiting one friend, whose family was ill, I ended up going out to dinner with an awesome friend.

A DELISH dinner at Don Pablo's was first on the agenda. Afterwards we went to a bookstore - one of the big ones, with a coffee bar and live music in the store, some good, some just so-so, and some really bad. But it was entertaining all the same. We browsed around together for a bit, looking for books for our book club and just good books in general. Then we split up and browsed on our own for a while

A few treasures in hand, we headed back to her house for a movie. It turned out to be TWO movies, a Dove bar, and a really late night. Into the wee hours, in fact! Among our exciting pasttimes was looking up words in the dictionary. Yes, we both find that intriguing. lol Did you know "telephonically" is really a word but "crabbily" is not?

At a time that I'm embarrassed to tell you, I stepped outside to drive home only to discover the world had been dusted with a coating of cold white stuff which made driving somewhat treacherous. I made it safely home, only seeing 3 other vehicles in the half-hour journey.

So, my big night included buying books and looking up words in a dictionary. ROFL Do I know how to party or what?
