another day another dollar

We had a pretty busy weekend. I played soccer on saturday and almost scored a goal! If only I had a little bit better aim. Oh well, better luck next time. It was a fun game, although I was kind of stiff after. I play in a mixed league, so every game there have to be at least 2 girls on the field, otherwise we play with player short, no matter how many guys are on the side line. This past weekend was also the weekend of the hope volleyball tournament, it's for charity and a lot of people participate in it, a big part of our soccer team including my boyfriend went to it. turns out I was the only girl actually on the team that ended up showing up for the game. Luckily the boys managed to call in a couple of girls, first one could only play the first half, second one only the 2nd, so that worked out fine, we didnt have to play a man short, accept that I got to stay on the field for the full time. It was fun although my body isnt quite up to speed for that yet. Hey, I'm doing pretty good excersise wise! i have been using kitty for three days this week, althoguh I havent really found my favorite excersises yet. I borrowed this book from a coworker of mine, but I am not thrilled with those, I like the ones I got of a website somewhere a little better,so I think I am going ot explore that site a little bit more. So yeah kitty, I have been biking a little bit, I played soccer and yesterday we got to go visit Alan's parents so I did a little bit of swimming. SO eventhough I am not working out like crazy I do try to get some excersise each day to get into a little bit better shape. Oh and I think i can count today as an excersise day aswell. It was 33 degrees C plus humidity today and a lot of people at work took some days off. Therefore I got to trim hedges today with a gas engine hedgetrimmer. For those of you that have never seen one, it sort of looks like a small chainsaw, without the chain, and skinnier blade. Anyway, the saw itself isnt that heavy, but the hedge was pretty tall so I had to hold it above my shoulders and of course you try to cut evenly. It was a good work out. I also had about 3 L of water to drink today because it was very very hot.. And it's supposed to stay that way. Oh and I cant find my ball cap hat anywhere, so I might have lost it or "lost it" at work somewhere.. either way I am going to have to bring another hat in otherwise my brain will fry...
Sooo I completly lost track of my story, which I usually do as all of you who know me know.. Right soccer, we lost unfortunatly, but we did play a good game. Hopefully we'll do better next saturday. After the game I went to watch alan play at the volleyball tournament. He did really well. It is a pretty neat event. There where about 80 courts, and there where 15 min games, from 1 in the mourning until 4 in the afternoon I think. Everyone plays 5 games and then the winners compete against eachother. There where about 30000 people there I have heard, vendors, players, spectators. There was also a lot of promotion stuff going on. Coupons for things. There was a stand where you could play Xbox for free and try out osme new games, which was pretty cool, and we got 4 free slurpee(slush puppie) coupons 2 of which we just used for desert. Hhmmm.. Later saturday we went to a party of friend of ours which was a lot of fun. I got to meet some new nice people and chat and munch. Unfortunatly the week outside plus the busy day made me sleepy so at the end of the night I had trouble keeping my eyes open.. which I didnt really like because I didnt want to be rude and wanted to participate in the conversation, but there was nothing I could do.. Luckily there's always coke to get you the cafeine you need to rescue you from situations like that.
Sunday was sleep in day and clean the house/organize stuff/work on application day. It all takes so much time, and the questions I have for the gouvernment are hard to ask because like any good old office their open between 8 and 4 and since I work outside it's hard to call them. Oh well, I'll just have to take some time on break to do that. I am going to get my x-rays done tomorrow, so that part of the requirement will be done. Hopefully I can get the rest finished soon so I can send it in...
well I am getting sleepy... time for bed.. good night
