We are not the champions…

Dear To-Do-List, Only one thing got done on you this weekend. And while it was nice to have clean towels instead of doing the smell test (you know the how bad does this smell, can I used it again test?) I needed to get more stuff done. That being said I much enjoyed the distractions that kept me from the to do list. Dear Winners of the C3 Adult Rec Hockey League, Congrats to you. My team lost again. The sad thing is we lost to you and yet still had a much, much better time not only during the game (like when we stood up and cheered for you) but after. I’m glad that you guys won, you wanted it far more than us (as your scowling faces and the guy who told me to stop smiling at him this was a game would indicate). You had the guy that got a hat trick with the way he was jumping up and down and screaming (with a higher pitch than me…just saying) who I thought had won a new truck. At first I was pissed because I was mad at the league for not telling me about the get a hat … [Read more...]

Long week…

Clearly you deserve a better post…but that won’t be today. :P It’s been a long week around here. People who are close to me know that when someone passes in my life I usually bake bread. Not sure why I just always have. Sadly one of our local hockey family, a guy I have played both with and against, passed away on Wednesday morning. He played a game of hockey and said he wasn’t feeling well but still went to his second game of hockey where he played a few shifts. Told everyone he didn’t feel great and was going home. And at 7am the next morning he had a heart attack and died. Life is short people, spend it with the ones you want to, don’t waste your time on anything that isn’t bringing you joy. I did manage to make something…these are kind of healthy muffins…well healthy for me. I was going to make a pretzel topping but never got around to it. Like I said, weird week. Peanut Butter White Chocolate Chip Muffins ½ cup vegetable oil 1 cup peanut butter (your … [Read more...]

A tale of four dresses…

I had mentioned on here a couple post back (the Navy Bean Soup one) that I messed with a former principal but in a totally legit way so as to stay out of trouble (I really am a rule follower). Tons of people emailed asking me to share the story…so here we go: Many years ago I was teaching at a school with quite possibly the most passive-aggressive vice principal ever. Though in her defense she is also the principal whom I respected the most in the fact that she never played favorites and everyone was treated the same. She was one of those people who wore a skirt or dress to work every day full with pantyhose and expected every female to do as well. FYI- pantyhose plus 115F weather in Phoenix is not a good combo and I refused to go there unless it was winter. Anyway my first year at that school I had a health issue and would randomly wake up and my right side would be swollen beyond recognition…just the right side. Trying to get dressed when one half of you was twice the size … [Read more...]

She had the best abs ever, she will be missed…

“Are you happy with your life?” “Are you in the best shape you want to be?” While sitting waiting for allergy shots (you have to sit around for 30 minutes after you get them waiting to see if there is a reaction) these two questions were posed to me by the very “fit” woman next to me (I’m sure she has six pack abs which she can keep by the way). I turned to her and said “excuse me?” and could feel the sales pitch coming on. She went on to tell me how she was a life coach and wondered if I felt I could use her services. First off don’t get me started on life coaches. There is no qualification to be a life coach…though I am sure nowadays there is an online degree for it somewhere. She didn’t seem to accept my answer that yes I was happy with my life and that while I was not in the best shape I wanted to be I was in the best shape of where I could be today. She piped in with surely there were things I wanted to change and I said of course. But that for right … [Read more...]
