Holy shit.
Holy shit.

Jun. 13th, 2014 08:24 am* World Cup has started. I have the app to let me know when every game kicks off, so I can at least try to stealth watch. May take a long lunch for the Germany game (oh the loyalties because I do love Özil)
* Speaking of stealth watching, someone needs to revoke my youtube access because I keep watching Terminator stuff. For reasons I probably shouldn't be.
* Coworker reminds me a lot of Gretchen from Mean Girls - she keeps saying "sweet jazzy" whenever something good happens or something completed. She said it to me yesterday and I nearly swiped back with "Stop trying to make Fetch happen."
* My baby boy is now a rising senior in high school. How the hell did that even happen?
* Just got through a huge site push at work and now in the lovely lull before the next flaming bag of dog poo arrives on my desk.
* I have a serious kilt disorder - even when picking my ATUF choices. I see a kilt on the cover and I make with the grabby hands.
* Have decided that I was forced to endure SharePoint 2007 for so long because only then would I truly appreciate 2010. List Extensions - let me show you my love. I am really having fun playing with it and making our department intranet site look...if not awesome, then at least cool.
* I think that's it. Peace.

Sand Soccer weekend
Jun. 7th, 2014 08:01 amAfter a three year hiatus, we're back at Sand Soccer this weekend.
Which means I woke up to this:
It's the one time we play tourist in our own town and stay in a hotel on the oceanfront. Its fun, but also hella convenient because driving in every day, finding/paying for parking, etc. is a huge hassle, especially since he has games today *and* tomorrow.
Fair warning, my instagram will probably be spammed with soccer the next few days, for those that follow me.
The games are interesting, and often frustrating because with the amount of teams, they conscript people to referee who have a one-hour primer on the rules and little else. (An argument could be made that some FIFA refs have the same level of competence, but I digress...) But most of the fun is being here, the boys all hanging out for an extended sleepover, and the whole get-away thing.
After the hell of the past week, it's also a much needed break.

Oct. 20th, 2012 04:10 pmThen there's an amazing soccer game...one of those games where a tie feels more like a win. Especially when it shut down and shut up the extremely obnoxious parents on the other side. Down 4-2 with 20 minutes to go....and they tied it. Including a blocked PK. Never give up, never surrender.
For those wondering what Zach looks like these days...and frankly, I just love this picture.

May. 5th, 2012 06:59 pmTournament weekend halfway over.
Scores in:
DJ's team: 2 wins, 0 losses. 6 goals scored, clean sheet
Zach's team: 2 wins, 0 losses, 8 goals scored, 1 against.
Which means both will probably play their championship games tomorrow afternoon...unless DJ's division decides against the championship (the way the standings are now, the team they play tomorrow am would be the team they'd play for the championship.)
I'm exhausted, the last game was a near nightmare of bad calls and crappy conditions/crappy fields.
Both boys have game at 10.45 tomorrow am, so we'll have to rock paper scissors for who goes to which.
Sheesh.
