Lotsa Stuff Going On

So, even though this week has been slow by comparison, there's still lots of stuff going on. Let's see...

Sunday
Heard from a good friend of mine that the rest of the tee-ball season has been canceled. No word yet from our coach, but my friend told me that her son's coach called and told them that they'd "called the season" because the big-kids ball teams need the tee-ball field to play their all-star games.

Monday
First, Speed Racer hell. It's not that it's necessarily a bad movie, just that it's a bit confusing in places even for me, there;s some cursing in it (and they're marketing this as a "kids movie") and the colors were so bright that I left with a bit of a headache. Before the movie I ask a second lady who has a son on a different tee-ball team about the season being called. She confirmed my friend's story, but I still have no word from our coach. At this point, I'm wondering if she's going to call us to tell us before game-time this evening.

I got home and called the coach's assistant to ask about the tee-ball. Finally I get "official" word - yes, the season is canceled, no there are no more games. The time I found this out? Ooooh, round about 2 PM - just a few hours before we were supposed to be on the field and playing. She also told me that I had to pay another $7 for a trophy for Conman, and no, my "Conman's Mom" shirt (that I've already paid for) isn't done yet. Yes, you read that right. The season's over, and I STILL don't have my damn shirt.

Tuesday
Went to work today. It was pretty normal, except for the torrential rain we suffered through. The building has a tin roof, and there are times when I thought it was gonna just come crashing down around our ears. I also have been looking, in a kinda passive way, at this little Harley Davidson Sportster that's for sale at the store. We took it in as a trade, and it's been teasing me ever since I started working over there. I've decided that I want this bike for myself. I asked for a price from the manager and he gave me a good deal (no, I'm not saying how much). I asked DH what he thought, and he's all for it (biker chicks do it for him) except now...he wants one, too. Except he wants a new Suzuki Boulevard (which goes for about double what "my bike" would cost). I'm going to see what kind of deal I can get on both bikes and see if I can get them both financed. They should be a lot of fun, and an added bonus is that they'll be perfect for commuting. Motorcycles average about 50 mpg, so that will put a significant dent in our auto fuel bill for the month.

Wednesday
Well, technically, as of this writing, it ain't here yet. I figure on doing about ten tons of laundry and some dishes, and getting the manager at the store on the phone to try to work out that deal. Wish me luck - I really want "my bike" and I'd like to get DH one too. I hope we can get something worked out that's agreeable to everyone.
