The Friday Five for November 11th & Other notes
1. Do you play any sports on a regular basis? Which?
I do not. I used to be in a soccer club at my Japanese elementary school. A cool tough girl asked me to join with her. She was awesome. I was terrible. All the boys hated having me on their team. I tried to join the basketball team in JH but I would have been a bencher so I declined. All my kids did sports - Alex did soccer all through elementary and JH as well as swimming and gymnastics for a few years. Julian did a bit of soccer too but continued swimming for longer. He did 3 years of basketball in JH. Audrey swam too and did 5 or 6 years of tennis. Hubby (former PE teacher) believed all kids should do some kind of sport in JH to even out the growth spurt. After seeing my kids (esp. Julian and Audrey) slim up in JH from their sports I wish I had joined basketball even if I sucked. I gained a lot of weight in those years.
I used to love swimming, I enjoyed racket sports like tennis, badminton and ping-pong but we didn't really have any teams in our school. Nowadays, I just enjoy walks with my dog. I don't even run. I have a long lead for her at the park so she can run by herself LOL
2. What professional sports do you follow?
None. Hubby loves to watch soccer, but he watches in his room now. I used to enjoy watching the Toronto Blue Jays and the Olympics baseball and hockey when I was in my twenties, rooting for the Japanese and Canadian teams.
3. Do you get enough exercise?
I think so. I try to walk as much as I can and I do exercises and stretches in the mornings.
4. What sport would you like to learn?
None in particular.
5. Are there sports activities you used to participate in but stopped?
See above :) I did also do some tennis with hubby and the kids when they were small. That was really fun and I miss it.
::::::::::::::::
I finished watching Shameless and the next season of Manifest. I really enjoyed Shameless and the ending was really good. Manifest was great too.
Warrior Nun is out! And some other shows I am looking forward to as well. Gonna finish HTGAWM first. Two more seasons. I am enjoying it!
I have decided to adapt The Elves and the Shoemaker for our Christmas play. I need to get everything ready for the 27, when I need to give all participants their materials/parts. Hope we can start practicing next week in classes though if I can get the program set by then.
