Could this week go any slower??? Probably, but I hope it doesn't get there. So sorry, but I need to complain for a while. Gas went up to $2.29/gallon. I'm really about to protest and ride my bike everytwhere...too bad both my jobs are like, 15 minute car rides, a.k.a., I'm screwed. I have less than a quarter tank now and I'm going to wait as long as I can in hopes that the price goes down. What else? Well, only got 3.5 hours of work at the factory today, that sucks balls. I mean, factory work sucks, but it sucks less than a small paycheck. I'm sure tomorrow has something fun in store for us. The upside of the short day was that I got my workout in (right next to Pastor Kuehl) and was home around noon. Plenty of time to hang out w/ the J-Monster and Caleb, and even take a nap before vball this evening.
Volleyball is an entire story in itself. Last night was reffing JV girls, which means a whole lot of all star attitude without much all star ability. Whatever, noone gave me any problems so it was 3 hours of making good money, followed by some random 3's action. I've come to the conclusion I'm just not good at volleyball anymore. I mean, I'm not terrible, but I'm not nearly as good as I was in my prime. Oh well, I feel old around all those high school kids anyways. Tonight was freshman night, which means I became Coach Ann for the evening. My team consists of one girl who wore flip flops and had to watch all night, one girl who thinks every ball is hers and will do just about anything to swat at the thing, one girl who didn't go to middle school with the rest of them and is afraid to talk, and 3 other girls who just aren't good, at all. I really do love coaching them, it was tough tonight because I didn't know we were having an actual practice, so I had nothing planned, but I'm sure we'll improve throughout the summer. Of course our last match went to 3 games, and we still lost, but oh well. So we're 0-2 on the season, only room for improvement.
The post-work vball wasn't all that great tonight. We were playing w/ 6's and that just feels like too many people on the court for me, especially when half of them are the freshman who have no idea or just other people who I'm not used to playing w/, so they get in the way. Wow, I sound like a bitch, and I probalby am right now. I'm beginnining to think my lack of sleep is started to come back to get me. I hate being in a bad mood but sometimes it just happens.
This weekend oughta be one for the books. Oh so many parents out of town, I can't wait. Hopefully grass 3's w/ Laura, a girl I ref w/, and whoever else can play. That means I can't really drink too much Friday night, but I'm in one of my non-alcoholic moods lately. I think it's the great desire to lose weight. The weight loss was going well, but it seems to be stopping for some reason. Noone really knows why, I blame water retention...
Can't wait to hit la factorita tomorrow; it's Maria's "happy birthday" as she says, in her extremely broken english. I was learning a bit of Spanish the other day, from 2 of the ladies I work w/, and the hot Mukwonago boy (who we found out is NOT dating Mukwonago girl)...very nice. It'll be good times for sure, always is. Good night all
