Field Hockey Frenzy

Hello again! Let me first start by saying that I had a wonderful and accomplished weekend. I had a softball game Friday night and then played Field Hockey the rest of the weekend at the Phoenix Scorpions 'Cactus Classic'. I played mostly mid-field all weekend and got the work out of a lifetime to say the least. I also had the pleasure of playing for a team based out of California called Mona Koa. The team was great and a such a fun group to play with. We had 3 games Saturday spread throughout the day and our last game Sunday morning to wrap up the tournament.

Amidst the chaos from the games Saturday I had part of my bedroom furniture delivered. Yah!! Also, I was able to go pick up the rest of my furniture on Sunday from the warehouse where I had to wait for an hour to get it from the loading doc. Boo!!! Obviously that company has never heard of a Master Production Schedule otherwise they would man up on the weekends when they know it's busy. I will have to upload photos tonight for the decoration contest. I can't even describe how much of a pain it was to get my new couch into the living room. We had that thing turned at angles I didn't think existed.

None the less; I was able to experience something new to my tastebuds. I had Indian food for the first time ever. While I was a little apprehensive at first, I was pleasantly surprised once I dove in. I'm not a fan of spicy food so I was happy that there was only one dish that was very spicy.

Well that pretty much sums up my weekend, other than the devastating masacre of my softball game Friday night where we were run ruled in the second inning; 28-3. No joke. Talk about a depressing Friday night.

I hope everyone had a great weekend as well!

5 Reasons I am ELATED the Eagles got rid of T.O. last season

We all know and despise Terell Owens of the Dallas Cowboys. Excuse me, I despise him for several reasons. I am a pretty big Eagles fan and had to put up with his arrogant, disrespectful, and plain old idiotic attempts at winning media attention. He sure enough succeeded and quite frankly; it makes me sick! Sorry T.O., but I'm glad they made you go.

Reasons that made me ever eager to see the Media Whore take his trip to Dallas:

1.) Constant Kindergarden Antics- What makes you think that just because you are paid millions that you can act like a child? Last I checked children look up to professional athletes as role models. What are you teaching them about respect?

2.) Dissing YOUR Quarterback- What did Donovan McNabb ever do to you? He sure passed to you a lot, tried to make things happen, delivered time and time again to the So called Superstar WideOut. As a former college athlete, there is a certain code of honor that you must abide by. Supporting your TEAM is one of them. Team sports are not about ME, they are about WE and creating anymosity will definitely get you jumped OR in your case; traded!

3.) A whole lotta talk- Yea, you know how to talk a big game but did you really deliver? Not enough for coach Andy Reid to want to keep you around. As far as this season with the Cowboys, I can recall several games where I saw dropped pass after dropped pass. But somehow you managed to create a pity party of how it wasn't your fault. I'm an athlete. I don't make exuses; you own up to your mistakes and make changes to fix it; simple as that.

4.) Recent Suicide Attempt- Are you kidding me? What kind of mickey-mouse b.s. is this all about? What's wrong T.O., not getting enough attention because you stink worse that my cleats after a long day of play? You know what, I feel sorry for you. You must be extremely insecure to go to such great lengths to get attention. There are people that can help.

5.) Blow at Bill Parcells- So what if the season didn't go as well as planned? It surely isn't all Parcells coaching efforts. First and foremost T.O., you need to realize that he was the one coach willing to put up with your nonsense! According to a FoxSports article during the debacle, they stated several teams were NOT interested in bringing T.O. on; the Falcons in particular. He is probably better off retiring; having a player like you that requires such "constant supervision" would have probably sent him to an early grave. "This past year was a big letdown. Hopefully, the owner will hire a coach to take the team to the next level." T.O.'s comments in a recent interview. Bottom line-the Cowboys paid way to much for you!

Proof is in the Pudding; Examples of the Eagles better off without the T.O. baggage

-The atmosphere surrounding the Eagles is more upbeat without the constant questions about Owens.
-We went to the playoffs. Not only without T.O., but also with star QB McNabb replaced by Jeff Garcia; proof that we are still a strong team that can adapt.
-Eagles triumphed over Cowboys in matchup

5 Things you DON'T know about me!

So I was recently blog tagged by Snoop Bloggy Blawg on 1/16/07. The way the game works is someone writes 5 things about themselves no one else knows and then tags five other blogs he or she wants to hear things about. (sounds a lot like those damn myspace chain bulletins...but I'll play along)

1.) I was in a beauty pagent my junior year of high school. It was horrible and very political. Never again.

2.) In college I learned how to nail holes in cinderblock walls...o yes folks you can do it to-just ask!

3.) When I was in private school I made my entire school pray because my daddy had died-only he hadn't so everyone was giving condolence to my mother for weeks. Ha ha

4.) Kurt Loder on MTV is my great Uncle, I can remember him having to leave a cousins wedding early b/c he had to interview Janet Jackson.

5.) I have a scar on my right forearm from punching a window when I was in 7th grade, a calcium under my left eye from a rightous hockey game in college that resulted in a stick in my eye(don't worry I damn sure went back in!)

Well I hope it was interesting learning a little more about me.

And now for the chosen one's that I'm taggin':

Depressed Fan

Snowboarding; or something like it...

Well I FINALLLLLLLY went snowboarding for the first time! I drove 4 1/2 hours all the way out to Show Low. First off, let me just say that the ski park is definitely like no other. The park hours are from 9-4 so my first thought was, "Are you kidding me?" Back east, we always went to Massanutten and that place has lights so you can ski or board all night. If you're ever in VA check in out, the place rocks and is gorgeous! http://www.massresort.com/

Alright so back to my snowboarding experience... Sunrise smelled like @$$ big time. It was gross but I had just drove hours so I just ignored it. I got my mangled rental of a board and boots and went on my way to lessons. The lessons lasted 2 hours and for the first hour I was doing everything backwards and busting it over and over. Apparently snowboarding is a bit different from wakeboarding and you're not supposed to have all the weight on your back foot. Although I wiped out a bit I was one of the best people in my class.

After the lessons I wanted to get back out there but ended up taking on the task myself becasue all of the boys I was with decided they were, "too tired". I was pretty pumped when I went out there and got down the run (AKA the baby hill that you practice on :-)) 3 times with out busting it! Did I mention that I busted it enough that when I got home I noticed 3 nice bruises on my bum? Yea, direct bone to fat contact; gotta live it. Oh well, it was worth it, I had so much fun even if I had to sacrifice a full nights sleep over it.

So and all I hurt like a mother all the way home anld have never had my bum hurt so much in all my life. I also got wind burn and it took us the full 4 1/2 hours to get back because my ride decided that it was cool to drive 40mph in a 55 zone the whole way home...yea a big "What kind of Mickey Mouse bull$*&% is this???"

So let me know if you guys have any tips for my next experience. I will NOT be going to Show Low but instead to the Snowbowl if they ever open up!
