HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY 2011

is that what you say on memorial day? i dunno. i'm canadian. anyhoo. its memorial day. so how did we take advantage of this day off?

went grocery shopping in the morning. our kitchen is now, once again, stocked up to look as though real people are living here.

then took a nice mid-memorial-day nap to then be woken up nicely by puppy jumping up onto the chaise and into my lap. adorable.

then headed out for some noms and to watch college nationals at a udderburn player's house. that was a little painful, not gonna lie. the weather in boulder is apparently as it was for the money mellon's sectionals with 25mph winds and 49mph gusts. crazy. even up at that level the game was shit. it didn't help that wisconsin's offense consisted entirely of hammer hucks into the wind that then proceeded to fly 30 yards out of bounds. this happened about fifteen times until they finally figured out that working it up the field may, in fact, be the smarter decision. too late, i guess. carleton cut won 11-9. well played.

then went for a co-ed scrimmage with some udderburn folk, some noise folk, and some other players. it was alright. started off super shaky because the weather in madison decided to shoot up to 90F today and i made the dumbass mistake of wearing 3/4 spandex. but then i shed the spandex and the sun started setting and i finally got my shit together and started actually playing ultimate. :P after that it was fine. otherwise, it was painful and i was dropping the dumbest shots.

i still haven't completely decided which team i'm going to play for yet. mostly because i have no idea how the women's team is turning out just yet. they have a practice on sunday apparently, so i'll probably try and head out to that to see how things go. but i've also committed to at least one and a half tournaments with udderburn. so i kinda need to keep going to their stuff so that i can do well for those. the problem right now really is that both of these teams seem to practice on the same day. so then i have practice with udderburn and then have to somehow make my way to ubay for women's practice. i guess i'll have to figure that out next weekend. oh. haha. this will also be after a one-day tournament on saturday in milwaukee for summer scramble. man, next weekend is going to to be crazy ultimate-filled.

so that was my memorial day. :) not too shabby.

no photo taking today. decided to take a break from my new toy. (photos of that to come tomorrow)
