Soccer!!!

Soccer! Who loves soccer? I love soccer. Soccer is defined as "a form of football played between two teams of 11 players, in which the ball may be advanced by kicking or by bouncing it off any part of the body but the arms and hands, except in the case of the goalkeepers, who may use their hands to catch, carry, throw, or stop the ball." This sounds like a very odd sport. Especially when you think about chasing after a ball before someone else gets to it. How does this make sense?

In my younger days, I was on 5 different teams in one season. I normally average 2-3 teams. I am only on one team at the moment and it hurts. My son hates it. How can anyone hate soccer? It's the best sport ever!

Trucks!!!

Trucks! Recently I have discovered the joy of a truck. I don't own one, at least not yet. As a homeowner, I have come to realize that a truck would be so handy dandy. A truck! A big, bad ass truck. For those that know me, realize I am vertically challenged at only 5' 2.5" tall. Wouldn't I just look the cutest in a truck? If I was a guy, I would be accused of truck envy. I want one so badly I can taste it. In about 9 months, I am seriously going to look at buying myself one. I used to want a Honda Pilot. Phooey on that. My old trusty Honda Civic will go to my son in about 2 years, when he starts driving. Eeeks!

Love Hate Relationship...

Love? Hate? What makes them different? Love is a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person. Hate is to dislike intensely or passionately. I suppose the key word is passion. My love hate relationship, passion as you may have it, is with Home Depot. I love going there and shopping, but I hate it on the other hand because it makes me love it. I spend my money, for the littlest things. I look for any excuse to go to Home Depot. Need a screw? Ooops, need to go to Home Depot. Meanwhile I ignore all the screws at home that may be of use. Sigh...how much time I have wasted before I was a homeowner. Don't even get me started on tools. My favorite Christmas gift of 2008? My first cordless drill from my mom. It's a 12v Ryobi. Oooh baby!
