One minute ...

One minute they are scoring goals for the OTHER team and getting tangled in the nets ~ and the next they are playing like they're getting paid! First game of the 2008 season and our son's team won in a hotly contested 3-2 score. For the record, he scored ALL THREE GOALS. Oh yeah, we were just a teensy bit proud :) If only because after playing myself over the winter I know without a doubt that I could never do that. Period.

 It's humbling to realize I could not do what my 'baby' does. 

 

What I did on my summer vacation ...

 

A whole lot of this. Sitting on the beach with a lapful of light reading and a friend on either side. Kind of like Heaven ... with snacks.

Caution

Because SERIOUSLY why WOULD you spend the nano-second it would take to clean up the spill when you could spend a good ten minutes or more fashioning tiny little "Caution: Wet Floor" signs (complete with visual aids of the stick figure undergoing what appears to be severe bodily harm) instead?

Gettin' her goat

   

Uber-cute things

How cute is this? I received this the other day from a reader of my column who over the years of correspondence via email has become a friend. She recently became an official published writer-type person in her own right and I'm so proud! Go Jennifer!
