Sep. 18th, 2006 05:14 pmBefore I go on. Let me have another squee. OMG! Chris arms and Joey and just. YAY! I've had such a fun afternoon, made even better by comment conversations as I watched along. Chris! Okay, I'm done.
Corey went to his first rugby session yesterday. They've put him in the under 11 team even before he's touched a ball. It seems being big is a bonus playing rugby. He's excited about going, problem is, he needs a full kit before he can even train. Rugby boots, top, gum shield and shin pads. That bonus is shrinking all the time. But man, the amount of people who've told me how rough rugby is. I've had people tell me about having teeth knocked out, being knocked unconscious, bruises and fights. I have to keep telling myself this is a junior league and the coaches know what they're doing, but, teeth knocked out! Man.
We also went to the Glass Centre yesterday. It's been open for years but yesterday was the first time we've been. The actual displays aren't that extensive but the glass blowing was fascinating. There's walk ways over an actual glass factory, then you walk to a place where you can sit and watch glass being blown. It's such intricate work, and very time consuming. There was also a very pretty Joey type person doing the blowing, so that was cool.
We also went out for dinner in-between there and going to the hospital, and I tell you. I'll be upset if I don't lose weight this week. I've been walking up the stairs to level 'E' all week, surely that has to be worth something.
But yeah, things are good if a little busy. I've had to do a lot of skimming on here, and I hate doing that, but hopefully it won't be for long. The MiL is supposed to be out on Wed now. However I'm sensing a theme and won't be at all surprised if it doesn't happen.
Now, the meme that doesn't quit. For
