I will start with my evening job - coaching basketball: We have less than a month left and my team has improved a ton, however we only have one victory. I will say that ALL of our losses have been under 14 points. Which is good and bad all at the same time. It means we were right there but then we could not just hang on. My team seems to have some trouble with rebounding and turnovers. These are 2 huge factors when it comes to winning a game, so you can see why we have only won 1 game. But really my job as the JV coach is to make them better and to have some of my kids getting Varisty minutes - which a few of them are - one has shin splints/stress fracture so she is out for the rest of the season, but she was getting some varsity time prior to that. I do think that a few of my girls will either start varisty or get lots of varsity minutes next season if they do what they should in the off season. As far as the varisty team they are doing really well. They beat Bishop Miege a few weeks ago. A little background info on that so you can see how that is a HUGE win for our team. BVNW (where I coach) has not won an EKL (the division we play ing) game in 4 years, and we have not beaten Bishop Miege in 6 years!! Bishop Miege has won state 17 times total including last year! With that being said Bishop Miege was not expecting to lose to us - the team who only had 3 wins at the time!! Well they were WRONG - we beat them in OT it was so fun. The girls were so excited. Then on Thursday we played against Blue Valley North who ended up beating us but we were only down by 5 at half and were in the game almost the whole time. True they beat us by a lot still but we were in the game for 3 quarters for sure and I can't remember the last time that has happened. (Blue Valley North won state 2 years in a row) So with that being said the team is playing exactly like they should be at the end of the season so hopefully we get a good match up at the end of the season in substate - which is where it all matters anyways.
Home life: Things are pretty good there. We are fasting television for 40 days - started on 2/1/08. I really should say that my roommate is and that I just am benefiting from it. Also we don't have cable so its not like when the tv is on that there is anything exciting on it. We sometimes just have it on in the background for noise. I am enjoying not having the tv on so far. We listen to music instead, and I am sure eventually I will be reading more - or maybe typing etiher for Paul or for the blog! I have taken my cute dog Harley to the vet 2 times in the last month. She is having some trouble with her booty...I won't go into too much detail cause it is grossamossa, but if you would like details just ask. She was on some drugs that did not help so we had to go back and be more aggressive this time - hopefully it helps - I really do not want to go back and have them do even worse stuff to her, I cried this past time cause she was in some pretty serious pain. I might be the mom who has to wait outside in the waiting room if my kids ever get hurt or something. I thought I would be able to go in cause I am kind of tough and I don't normally don't get grossed out by those things, but the last vet trip was a little tear jerking. My cousin is getting married tonight the first one on my mom's side - she is younger than me by five years. I wonder if I will get some hints on the fact that I should be next tonight. Good times!My brother is coming in town so I am excited to hang out with him - maybe he will be my dance partner too if my mom and grandma don't hog him :) He just recently recorded (not sure if that is the right lingo) a commercial the Spanglers - a restuarant in Witchita. It is a local commerical but he was/is excited. If it gets on YouTube or the internet no worries his big sister (me) will be posting it right here on the the blog! Way to go lil' bro - one step closer the red carpet! :)
Okay will I am not quite sure what else I can type about so that is it for now. Hope I kept you somewhat interested.
