Basketball is now over

and I thought I'd be happy. I'm not. Seth's team played Tues. night and lost. They played a really good team. I couldn't go because Ali had a game at the same time across the county. Ali's team won and so they played last night. I will admit that the team we played was good, however, when the Refs only call really bad fouls on the other team (there was one girl actually hanging on one of our players that wasn't called and it was very noticeable) it makes it really hard for the game to be fair. But our girls did great...but we lost. By one point. Ali did awesome on defense...she's still getting the hang of offense, and I was so proud of her. I did cry, not because they are out of the tournament, but because basketball has been such a good thing for Ali, and I didn't want it to end. At least the girls on the team are friends and hang out with each other....we are having a sleepover with all of them in 2 weeks...I can't wait!!! I think I'm just as excited as Ali. Nate and Seth are a different story! They both are going to be gone that night...thank goodness!

clarification on my last post

Ok, I'll give some clarification for the last post.

This is a conversation I had this week. All names have been changed to protect the innocent.


Lady G: I bought some wall stickies.

Me: Oh really? That's cool.

Lady G: Yes, I decided to change my bedroom, and wanted something for the wall.

Me: Oh

Lady G: It was letters, so I made a verse on the wall.

Me: what does it say?

Lady G: "He bed me down in green pastures"

Me: (gasp!) what???

Lady G: Like in the psalm...the Lord is my Sheppard...

Me: (trying not to laugh, but tears running down my cheeks)

Lady G: You know, like you bed down an animal? That's the way they talked back then.

Me: (still laughing)


Ok, so the conversation was a bit more, but I seriously laughed till I cried. Maybe I have a dirty mind, but to put that on your wall in your bedroom...it was just too much for me. This person, I am positive, didn't mean anything dirty by it, but I just couldn't help laughing.

So, I am chuckling to myself today just thinking about it.

hmmmm

Can't blog a whole lot tonight but I wanted to share a funny:

He beds me down in green pastures...bwahahaha

I can't go into to much right now, but I will be laughing about this for weeks!

New Year's

Christmas '08

2009

Happy New Year ya'll! Last night we had a couple over for the New Year. They have been friends of ours for 7? maybe 8 years. They have 2 boys (14 and 12) at least I think that's their ages....I know, I should know that. Anyway, we had homemade bread, ham, mixed greens, mashed potatoes, apple pie and ice cream. The kids did fireworks and a pinata and were still up when I went to bed (3 ish) except for Ali...she needs sleep. We had a great time looking back at our last several new years' experiences. The couple has come over to our house the last 4 years...it's crazy that it doesn't seem that long. We were talking about what our motto would be for 2009. Here are some that I came up with....enjoy:

It's all mine in 2009 <----- not sure if I want it all, just the good stuff
Little behind in 2009 <---- as in little butt
Overtime in 2009 <----- this one made me laugh
Lookin fine in 2009
More wine in 2009 <---- I like that this one can also mean whine
O'Neal time in 2009
Don't owe a dime in 2009 (can you tell the adult beverages were getting to me?)
Here's my sign in 2009 <--- yes, I'm a closet blonde :D


I guess you get the idea. Hope everyone had a safe New Year's. Now, go clean something!
