Dodgeball Playoffs

I can't believe that I had omitted in my last blog, my dodgeball playoffs!!!! A fellow teammate, who shall remain nameless for privacy reasons (although if you take the letters of my name and rearrange them, you could technically spell his name....just sayin') kindly reminded me that I didn't mention the fantastic Saturday afternoon back at the beginning of December........

It all started one cold, rainy Saturday morning. I had awoken from a crappy three hours of sleep (honestly, at this point one should just call it a "nap" cause if I had slept for three hours during the day it would be considered a nap, but because it's dark out and between midnight and six am, it's considered "sleep"). Ok, got off topic.

It all started one cold, rainy Saturday morning. I had awoken from a three hour nap and pretty much felt like dying. But then I remembered that today was the day for the dodgeball playoffs!!!! My first!!! That perked me up to about 45% mental and physical capability. I barely got myself dressed, remembered my water bottle and wallet and was off to meet my fellow teammates across the street.

On route to the playoffs, I was assured that our team has never done well in the playoffs so it would be quick and painless and then off to the pub. Game, game, game, gone. This thought pleased me ONLY because I was so damn tired and we were all going to pub food after and that seemed more exciting. Murphy's Law....... We didn't do poorly. Oh no, why would we do poorly? Why would past playoff games performances suddenly mean nothing? We did well, really well in fact. Now some people would consider this a good thing, and that's great (just don't be on our team hahaha). It would have been even better IF, and ONLY IF, we hadn't had to wait around in the coldest gym you've ever stepped foot in, waiting to freakin' play.

Did I mention at all yet how hungry I was? All I could think of was delicious food. The teammate who shall remain anonymous, decided it would be fun to torture me with delicious food words. I would be standing there, taking a nap standing up, and all of a sudden in my ear I would hear "chicken wings". Ten seconds later... "Nacho's". "Burger". TORTURE!

Anyway, we did well, we ended up at the pub and had a great time there. We all sat around the table and texted each other. Ahhhh....the new form of communicating with people at the same table. :)
