Something New 2009

Well, it's the last day of March and I had better throw something up so I don't get totally out of the loop.

Hummmm, Something new......

Well,

#14 - Went to the state AAU Wrestling tournament in Des Moines this weekend to watch my 6th grader wrestle. That was something new I tell ya! 1200 boys ranging from 3rd grade to 8th grade (now there's a swing in development!) What a sight. Max did well going 5 rounds before getting bumped - not bad for his first state tourney. His best buddy also wrestled an walked away with the #2 spot - very impressive!

#15 - While we were in Des Moines we stayed at the Sheraton in West Des Moines. Never stayed at that particular hotel so I get to count it - right?

I really need to become more creative with my 'new things' I thought this would be fun and easy but now I feel stress. I'm sure the spring weather will bring new and interesting inspirations. ( Yeah, that's been the problem the gross, yucky, still hanging n there winter weather!)

Stay tuned new and exciting this coming your way!

So as you can tell from such an exciting title I have some more items to report. Sorry, they're not nearly as titillating as the last one!

#12 - I went to lunch with one of my co-workers. I know this sounds lame, but K. and I have worked in offices side by side for 5 years now and never gone to lunch - just the two of us. We have gone out as all of the office staff. Oh, and we have gone out after work for a snack and drink! But never lunch with just the two of us. Boring - I know, but new!

As for #13 - it's not really something I did as much as it is something I watched. My son competed in a youth district wrestling tourney this past weekend and placed 2nd. Yeah - now the fact that he placed 2nd was not a surprise. He has come in second to the same kid 7 times this winter - oh yeah, and it's his best friend. He is pretty excited and we now will travel to Des Moines for the state meet in two weeks. Yet again something new...............

Stay tuned!

I want to shop. Not only do I want to shop , but I want to shop for lots of stuff. clothes, stuff for the house, stuff for outside (yeah - I gots me the spring fever!) etc.

This is what is a bummer about living in a small town. don't get me wrong, I don't want to raise my kids anywhere else, but??

I'm a good 60 minutes from the nearest Menards, Hobby Lobby, Kohls, Wal-Mart for gods sake! Online shopping usually suffices but I want to browse, and touch things, and try them on...

Let alone any other specialty shops I may want to patronize. Oh well. I will consider this my savings plan.

Wow do I have some news. My husband and I just did something new #11 this weekend. Now, for those of you who may feel this is too much information you may want to look away. No, seriously, look away.

No takers? Alright you asked for it.

New thing #11. My beloved , by the book, follow the rules all the time, church going, God fearing husband.......................



Got a SPEEDING ticket on the way home from a wrestling meet on Saturday. HA! Yeah, Yeah, the car in front of us was not using his cruise control (What's up with that anyway??) and so when he decided to pass, guess who was coming? Yup, a beautiful gold car sponsored but the Clay county Sheriffs department.

What were the repercussions of this event - well. a $94.00 gift to Clay county courtesy of our house. You may not think this should be something new since it was not initiated by me - but hey - it's my game and I get to make the rules.
So there.
