Just got back from the
volleyball tournament (for
charity) that myself and some people from
work played in. We did
very well for a bunch of
overweight and
out of shape geeks. We actually
won a few games. All of them in fact. Of course, while we were
registered in the competitive section, they (The CATT Fund, who gives toys and donations to needy families in the
winter) didn't have enough so we got mixed in with the
fun section. It was still good though. The couple of
practices we've had after work have paid off... we actually did the 3 hit thing,
bump,
set,
spike (well, not always technically a spike....), and I think we looked good out there. The second
game, when we couldn't
sub players in (we were playing 6 aside and only had 6 members) we worked up quite a
sweat. Huge
congratulations go out to all my
teammates!
Mom stopped by this morning on her way to some class to drop off a birthday present from my granny in England (who I used to call "granny dog" (she boards dogs) as opposed to my mom's mom, who was "granny no-dog"). I haven't opened it yet, want to finish this off first. It was a good thing that she came by too, as she not only got to meet the new kitten, but I forgot to set or turn on my alarm clock this morning so I could have quite easily slept through the first game! That's still not a good way to be woken up though, with a grunt of "You're mom's at the door" coming from your SO beside you.
