Yawn
Quality control here at Cathy in the Wright has suffered a few setbacks. I haven't had the time or energy in the last couple of days to post much. I did have a fabulous anecdote about my soccer team, but I got an email from one of my Texas readers informing me that soccer is "the devil's sport." So you can all thank Gary that you didn't get to read about me nearly crippling the Brit on the opposing team last Sunday.
Devil's sport....pshaw.
I will only add Friday is my last outdoor game of the season, providing it quits raining between now and 8 pm tomorrow. After that you get to suffer through recaps of the indoor season. Don't worry. The potential for career-ending injury is just as great. While there is still no slide-tackling allowed, you might not believe how much damage one can do by checking your opponent into (and sometimes over) the boards. I'll have to start bringing my camera.
I'd post more, but it's time to go change out of my pajamas and fix lunch. It's been raining heavily all day, and frankly, unless we get a cuter UPS driver, there's no need to bother with any unnecessary acts of personal hygiene. Who's going to see me?
Although if The VP wants to bring home dinner tonight, I might shower. Shaving legs will require dessert.

Posted by: Matthew at October 30, 2004 07:51 AMI played rugby for a very brief time in college. And I thought soccer was rough. Do you still play, Matthew?
Posted by: Cathy at October 30, 2004 08:55 AMI haven't played in 8 years. I didn't have time for it after I openned my store. I went to watch a game a few weeks ago and was itching to play. I sold my business recently and am considering playing old boys (over 35) in the spring.
I've been considering blogging too. I've made a couple of post on a blogspot blog I created this week.. I'm not sure if I'll continue it or not.

Can't wait to check out the blog, too!
Posted by: Cathy at October 30, 2004 09:31 PMYes I sold it. I was burned out from all the hours. I've been a bum for the past 3 months but I recently interviewed for a teaching job at a middle school.
Posted by: Matthew at October 30, 2004 10:33 PMGood luck with the job. Middle school...you're a glutton for punishment!
