the three dogs are insane. i get to gavin and jen’s house after being gone last night for the hockey game, or this morning for soccer, and you’d think they’ve never seen a human before. sheesh. lick lick jump lick. i’m glad i’m only taking care of them for three days. plus i didn’t sleep very well last night. i never sleep well in other people’s houses.
we lost our game this morning, as usual. we don’t mind losing most of the time, because we’re still having fun, but it’s worse when the other team acts like a bunch of babies. there was one guy on the other team that was, to put it bluntly, a total asshole. he threw elbows and was overly physical, but worse than that was his freaking mouth. he would not shut up, and heckled our team to no end, bragging about how he scored a hat trick, shouting “foul” all the time, making a big show of the slightest contact. towards the end of the game he had an indirect kick on goal and commented to our defensive line that “that’s ok, you can line up to block, i’ll kick it at your faces.” i was so furious at his completely uncalled-for behavior that i lost control of my own mouth for an instant. he kicked the ball, and when i blocked his shot with my foot (ha HA!), i said in my most sarcastic tone “hey, you missed my face.” (and muttered a few curse words under my breath.) i’d spoken before i even realized i’d opened my mouth, and i immediately wanted to kick myself, thinking i was about to get called for unsportsmanlike conduct for talking back. despite him being an asshole, we have to be able to just ignore him.
luckily the ref didn’t hear…or maybe he just ignored my comment because he knew the guy was being a jerk.
anyway.
i’m still totally pumped about how awesome yesterday afternoon was, what with the winning photo and the branch award. they say good things come in threes, so i wonder what else will happen!
tonight is ron and buzz’s wedding, and i am so excited. i finally decided what to wear, which was more of a struggle than i thought it would be. i’ve been in the wedding party for the three previous weddings i’ve been to, so i had someone telling me what to wear. i’ve never just gone as a friend! but it’s going to be great. ron and buzz are two great friends, and all our other friends are going to be there, and it’s just going to be a grand old time. i’ll have to post pictures tomorrow.
