Du-Du-Du-Duhawks!!
Today was our first actual home game of the year (the other one was played at a different location since the field wasn't quite completed...), and it was soo much fun! It was pouring rain for most of the time, and it was really quite cold, and the other team was winning, but it was tremendous. Then at half time there was lightning, which meant rain delay, and then came the torrential downpour, so we left and puddle-jumped. It was great fun. We ended up losing the game, but it was still a wonderful day, just the same. :) I love cheering at football games!!
The best cheer: "To the window! To the wall! To the endzone with the ball!!" (it only makes sense if you (ashamedly enough) know the perverse rap song that it is modeled after...)...both that and "Hit somebody!!!"...now that's a great football cheer.
Ah well, you can't win 'em all...
There's always next time, dear Duhawks!!
Then I came back and worked on my Ethics paper (which is coming along quite nicely considering the little time I've put into it thus far), and Rusty called and asked to do something tonight with us gals. Since all of us but me and Victoria had plans, it was just the three of us on the town tonight. We went for dinner, then to Hy-Vee where we ran into our FOCUS missionaries. And the quote of the night:
"These Smart Ones dinners are practically theological. ::reading backside of box:: 'So good, it'll make you want to be good'...you see, that's the Eucharist right there!"
Haha...you know you're a Catholic nerd when... ;)
Anyway, we left them a bit later and got some sherbet and Sprite to make a little treat with (but no blender, so we used a hand-mixer...haha...). Rusty also suggested that we paint our toenails together, so we could truly bond, but we ended up forgoing that to watch Ice Age. :) Haha...
Then he left, and Megan came home and showed me two great card tricks she learned from a random old guy. We ended up playing cards for the next three hours. Everything from Speed to King's Corners to Gin Rummy (which we actually played for 2 hours...while listening to rap music...it was quite odd.) We busted out Beth's CD collection, since she's gone and has more CDs that most music stores. There was one entitled "Cruisin' rap mix", and we decided to give it a try. It wasn't bad, considering neither of us are huge rap fans, but we were kind of in the mood (and needed something to balance the octogenerian feeling we were getting from Gin Rummy). So then when that CD ran out we put in the CD entitled "Sounds of Rohlman" (Rohlman being the hall some of us lived in last year), and that had everything from "Mmm Bop" to the Spice Girls to Sister Act music...it was really a random and beautiful mix...songs I would never expect anyone to own on CD. :) Anyway, we just finished playing at 1:30am, and our sleep deprivation is mimicking intoxication...so it's high time for bed.
Crazy day...lots of fun and silliness. Tomorrow is homework day.
Boo.
Caritas et veritas!!!
