Cocky and mean. That's the word on the street about our girl...

We played in the MSF state tourney yesterday. The girls went 2-1, AE played well and had fun.

I had to laugh, one of AE's best friend's (AP) mom (AP plays on the other Maple Grove team) told me about a little exchange she had with another parent while watching our game.

Guy: You know I've heard about that #44 on Maple Grove (#44 is AE)

AP's Mom: Really, what?

Guy: Yeah, I heard she is cocky as all get out and has a mean streak.

AP's Mom: Seriously?

Guy: Yeah, that's what I heard. What are you the mother?

AP's Mom: No, but close enough my daughter is one of her best friends.

Guy: Oh gee, so is she like that?

AP's Mom: The way you described couldn't be further from the truth. AE is the most humble, gentle child I know.

Guy: Silence.

I find it amazing how someone could possibly think that about our daughter. I told Dan this morning, had totally forgotten about it because it was so absurd.

His response, "You know that would really bother me if I didn't know it was the complete opposite of how our kid is."

Now about JG....that's a whole 'nother story....our little Boogaard has two parties, two games today and is ready to go "knock some heads" out on the ice tonight "in front of the big crowd".

If we could only morph the two together we would have even tempered, kind, aggressive enough kids...

but then again we love them for who they are and wouldn't change them for the world.

the best athletes on the opposing team are always cocky and mean, don't you remember? it's a compliment, my friend. people wouldn't be talking about her at all if she wasn't a stand-out. :)

You know, I wouldn't think anything of what that dad said...If AE was 17. Cripes. These are puppies we are talking about. Glad he's in the stands and not a coach.

Exactly, that guy is only deciding that about her because she is such a good player. Glad your friend put him in his place though!:)

Have you met my friend Jane?

I am a complete Jane Austen junkie, in fact I think that I need to maybe seek help. Shelly tells me I need help and we all know Shel tells it like it is, so it must be true. "Hello, my name is Susan and I love Jane. Jane Austen." I read "Pride and Prejudice", annually. Yes, every year I spend a weekend with Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy. Now that I think about it I may need to skip my little tradition this year because I have so many other never read books piled up and there is a due date looming from the library. The reason I share this closeted truth with you my friends is because there is a TV event starting this weekend on PBS. It is basically the 10 weeks of Jane, every Sunday night PBS will air a adaptation of Jane Austen's novels. Here is the schedule. So, if you have never had the opportunity to get to know Jane, maybe it is time. Think about it, there is no new TV, it's cold out and you can learn new some new sayings for Monday. Nothing ...

Hiatus no more

I don't know what it is about January, but 'round about January 15th I go into a complete and utter funk - hence no blogging. It is as if I need to cocoon for a bit, metamorphosize, and re-enter the world in February. This year has been especially bad due to our chaotic schedules with the kids, plus I have been working almost 60 hours per week as it is budget time and we are determining what exactly does "hunkering down" look like. Don't worry, work is still fun, challenging might be a better word. I truly love my new job, actually it was a promotion - didn't officially know until this week, so that jump starts the old engine as well. Other than that I have also realized in the last week my body is really, really mad at me. Things are just not working as they should and finally made the decision to go see the doctor who helped with the torn ligament a few years ago. Bottom line, just haven't been taking care of myself and he cracked me around a bit so can ...
