commuting brilliance

last week i noticed that the carpool lane i've been avoiding for over a year only applies from 3-7pm. that's right...PM. so on my way to work, it's totally legal to drive in it all by myself. craziness!

on the one hand, i'm proud of myself for figuring this out, while everyone else continues to share the other two lanes. on the other hand, it took me over a year and that's just not ok.

purple blog!

thanks to john, my blog now has some purple in it...the best color in the world.

a couple weeks ago a new friend discovered my love for purple and said, "i haven't seen you wear much purple..." since then, i've been a purple queen (on weekends, at least). yay, purple!!!

jury duty update

as requested, i've called in after 5pm every night to find out if i get to go to jury duty the next day. so far, i've got nothin'...but they're getting awfully close to my number. just watch, i'll start my birthday month off in court...

birthday gift

my parents have asked me what i want for my birthday twice now, and i can't think of anything...this is weird...i usually have a list...any suggestions?

of course i already said, "i don't need anything, mom and dad" in my sweetest voice...but let's be real.

coaching tip

if a time out is called by the other team because you're winning 15-10, do NOT tell your team, "just remember...we've got a cushion...we're up by 5 points. if they get a couple points, shake it off " move on..."

we lost, 23-25. sad, just sad.

and those weren't my words of wisdom. my "assistant coach" shared that brilliance. not that i'm bitter.

(my team did AWESOME at their first tourney on saturday...i was truly proud " impressed. it's going to be a great season of growth if they keep giving 100%)

school shopping!

the highlight of starting a new semester is notebook shopping...this semester, i'll be referring to The Thing " Strawberry Shortcake for my notes.

Twins Tickets!

hopefully I'll get to the Dome...at the very least, I'll be in Oak-town June 1-3!!!!
