So, it's the weekend.

What up?

Thus far, as usual ours has been a frenzy of sports.

Actually, it started earlier in the week.

There have been several volleyball games at Busy Girl's school, and some of them are broadcast on the Internet.

If you know me and the school, tune in and you can occasionally hear me calling some of them, but I'm not the dominant female voice.

I'm just a game here and there, the other person does all the work and most of the talking.

We (other person and I) did end up doing a football game and that was kind of amusing.

There was a student supposed to do it, but he didn't show up, so we just winged it.

Hannah Storm I am not.

I also can't see the roster well enough to name anyone so I wasn't much help there, either.

Imagine if you will:

"Shotgun formation. Wait, isn't that what you call it? Wide right. I'm pretty sure that's when those guys line up over there..."

"He takes the handoff, runs to his right, I mean his left..."

"Number 13...(pause while I hold the roster far enough away so I can read it) I have no idea on the tackle."

Shut up, that wasn't all me.

I took Busy Girl and her friends to the varsity football game last night and I stood at the fence for most of it since the stands were too crowded.

These games are a big community, perhaps a little different than you might imagine for a high school football game, so there's plenty of people there I know and they'll walk by eventually.

However, last night must have been Blast From the Past Friday as I kept seeing people I hadn't seen on 15-20 years.

Most of them were work acquaintances, but there was one friend I hadn't seen in I don't know how long and I was talking to these work people when she tapped me on the shoulder.

It was totally out of context for me to see here there and I kind of stuttered and stumbled when I greeted her and tried to orient myself to hold a conversation.

I guess she either thought I didn't recognize her or I didn't care to talk to her, so she just said, "Good to see you", and walked on.

I went to find her after I extricated myself from the work reunion conversation and I kept messing up the chat by saying stuff like, "Now, haven't you been living in Virginia?" She'd reply, "No, Illinois."

The more I tried to make up for lost time, the worse it got.

She eventually excused herself and after I saw her a couple of more times in the crowd, it was obvious she was trying to avoid me.

I have no idea why I felt you needed to know this other than to verify my social awkwardness.

Busy Boy actually got to play in his football game today (such is the life of a lowly 7th grader) and Busy D.'s soccer team won big. He had 4 goals for the day.

I had such big plans for the rest of today since we were actually going to be at home for once.

Yet, somehow I'm still sitting here at the computer and day has turned into night.

I blame the fact that it took me 3 days and several thrown objects to complete the famous "Wordpress 5 minute Installation" on another site.

Confession: In the interest of full disclosure, I don't really have any Michelob.

I just needed a title.

With that, I am suspending my blog to address this problem as I feel it takes priority over the excruciatingly boring and mundane details of my weekend (that was for you Jon).

OK, no I'm not.

Yes, I am.

No, I'm not.

I can see Russia from my house.
