The Month of Busy

I've pretty much had the busiest month and a half in the history of months and a halfs. Here's what happened:

WINDSOR CENTRAL LITTLE LEAGUE MAJOR GIRLS SOFTBALL
- Chris and I are coaching 11-13 yr old Girl's Softball. My little sister is on the team, and I'm getting attached to the other girls! Each one is unique in their own way, and they are such dedicated and talented (and bratty!) players. We're second last in the district, but I don't really care. Everyone is having fun - including me! I really missed the game & I'll be looking for somewhere to play for sure once my knees are all fixed.

ODYSSEY OF THE MIND WORLD FINALS
- We made it there! We drove, it took forever. We had a TON of fun & we also managed to hit up the Mall of America in Minneapolis. We got 6th place out of 8 teams. Chris and I have already started planning next year's adventure. I really & truly love Odyssey. It's such a neat program and such an amazing opportunity.

JOB INTERVIEWS
- I get called for an interview for almost every job I apply for, but none seem to be working out past that. I just got a job selling insurance, but I didn't take it. I don't want to sell life insurance! It's just not my thing.

WINDSOR STRIKE
- Our city is on strike. Incredibly on strike - inside/outside city workers, taxi cabs, and I don't even know who else. The city workers bit is really making me angry, because CUPE, their union, and the union members are real assholes. The way I see it is, if they have the right to strike (and they do), then good on them. But I have rights too & those rights include removing my trash, cutting grass wherever I'd like, and so on and so forth. Call me a Scab, a union breaker, whatever. Their actions have been so immature & I want to hit them all.

WINDSOR EAST LITTLE LEAGUE ALL STARS
- I got asked to be the manager for the combined Central/Windsor East Little League All Star team. Pretty cool deal, and a good bunch of girls out to play ball for an extended period of time.

WHAT ELSE?
- I finally found a doctor.
- Our Disney vacation is finally paid off - now to solve the transportation issue.
- I register for classes for Fall 2009 on Tuesday
- I'm going to Ottawa next weekend for Alex's campus visit (she's decided to go to Carleton next year for university)

That's about it. I should be around more often now.
