Next stop.......All-Stars

Saturday's game was the Championship game for 1st place. The Net Rippers were undefeated with one tie on their record, Saturdays game was tough, no points were scored and after going into overtime quarters twice they had a shoot out. Stevi was one of the chosen shooters and got her goal, but the winning goal was from Lindsay, and it was her first goal ever. She was carried off the field by the Coaches. Stevi and the team then headed over to the awards ceremony where not only did they receive their first place trophies, but they also received the "Sportsmanship" award which is the highest honor. It is voted on by all the coaches and the referees. Tonight is our first All-Stars meeting, so soccer isn't done yet, but if it's anything like her softball team was, we should make it to State, Regionals and Nationals. Good job Net Rippers!

Sleeping Beauty.....

I don't get out much anymore, so last night was a big deal. Felt like I partied like a rock star. I wasn't in bed till 3 and didn't wake up until after noon today. Stevi had Cierra spend the night and since Jay wasn't feeling well, I invited my mom to come along for dinner, (I had 2 50% off entree coupons for Carrow's, don't laugh, it actually wasn't that bad) and Stevi and Cierra needed to shop for Crazy Week at Shaw, so while they walked around Summit Mall, my mom and I had a martini and a mocha latte at the Chocolate Bar, then we all went to go see Fame. The movie was ok, but I was hopped up on caffeine, so last night we got home after midnight and I stayed up and finished Season 2 of Dexter. Finally got tired after taking Black Cohosh and didn't wake up until after 12. We are going on a 10.1 mile hike tomorrow off of Hobart Rd. in Washoe Valley, the west side, so I guess it is ok that I skip exercise today, I added Ball Blast to my schedule for Wednesday, so don't worry, I am not slacking off.....it's fun, anyone want to go with me!?

Halloween Rant........

Everyone has been complaining about the price of costumes. I think I may have a solution. How about a costume co-op? Beg, Barrow, Trade or Steal? We all have tons of costumes for different age groups, some handmade, some from our closets, some store bought. Why don't we list what we have after Halloween, and the sizes and see if anyone is interested in borrowing them for the next Halloween? Then whoever borrows has the whole year to accessorize, add to or take away to make it just what they need. In just the photos I posted, I have a soccer player, a softball player, a dead sock hop girl which comes with an awesome home made poodle skirt and hula hoop, Sage is Cinderella, Guoda is Courtney Love and Jayson is Kurt Kobain. I know I can lend out stuff to be a biker, hairdresser, witch, Alice in Wonderland, The Cat in the Hat, a Candy Corn Witch, Hip Hop Dancer, ballerina, hockey player, a plug and socket set, Fat Elvis, Lisa Marie and I am sure so much more that I have forgotten, we can also mix and match, kind of check the costumes out like a library and have fun maybe do a cookie exchange one day and bring all our costumes from the past for everyone to pick through. I will post a poll for everyone to vote and if you're in, you're in!

Woe is me.....

On the Mend........

I still feel horrible, thank god for Dayquil, I am sure I had the flu but I think I slept through the worst of it yesterday, thank you Nyquil. Jack has been hanging out and playing today and we have been having lots of fun, it sure is nice to see him and Chrissi again.

On my life's list I wrote to repair rather than replace... So today I put a button on a pair of Jay's shorts, stitched a pair of my pants that had a hole in them, fixed a hole in a pillow and replaced all the buttons on my cardigan because it lost one and I couldn't find one to match.....it looks much cooler now anyways with it's small metal buttons with filigree on them, much more.......me. As for beginning my book, I have 100 times in my head, but haven't had any distraction free time to actually sit and do it. I do have my character journal started.......I will get there, my first chapter has played out over and over in my head. Soon it will be on paper.

The Law of Lynch

Today is the day Jack will be here, yesterday I felt like crap all day. Of course, my throat hurts, I feel like I was hit with a truck, why is it I get the flu every time I have something wonderful planned. Hopefully it is just a cold. Last night I dosed up and went to bed early, this morning, I took Nyquil (it is really hard to blog and pay attention right now) I am going back upstairs to sleep till Jack gets here, then Dayquil! I can do this! I will NOT miss out on my Jack time!

Starting a book.........

I'm starting this weekend......I have a title (the first in a series) I have a character list, a main character, a plot and climax, as well as an ending. I am going to finally start writing a book. I am hoping it will work into a series. Although the characters will be fictional, I will be using my experiences as a hairdresser, platform artist and life experiences as ideas for the different story lines. It will take place in Reno, and other places I have gone doing hair shows. The main character is young, fun, sweet but also a bit of a wild child. She is single, carefree and at times, a bit naive and reckless but thinks she can handle herself in all situations. I am hoping for this to be a suspenseful and funny look into the world of hairdressing and being young while trying to live life to it's fullest. Cross your fingers for me! Are you ready for the ride?..............
