"Ath-a-lete? That's Ama-za-zing!"

This weekend was great, until Saturday rolled around. Friday was a good day, got home early from vball, the boys won the football game (first one with typical 40 degree weather), and we all enjoyed a little dancing and BK afterwards. 6 short hours after getting cozy in bed, my world was rocked with the thought of being at a volleyball tournament in marquette for 8 hours.

We're a good team, solid. But we get set up for failure every single tournament. Since when does a coach sit her starters for two and a half straight games? Close games. It's not even about us caring about our own personal playing time like she thinks, it's us caring about winning. We lost to teams that we've killed in the past. Yeah, whatever..you may want to get everyone some playing time, but this is Varsity in high school. You play to win, not to be nice. That's why there's a score board. You put the winning combination on the floor. You don't treat tournaments as "practice." You practice for the tournaments. Plus my aunt and uncle from florida were up, and came to the tourney. And didn't get to see me play, to say the least- i was bummed. Anyway- we ended up winning one game the whole day. Go Ishpeming.

The day went better as a few friends and I ventured back to Marquette to meet up with some of the guys and chow down on some T Bell. Where else can you eat a whole meal for $2.50? No where. I love you, Taco Bell. We finished off the night with movie night in the man cave. Sadly, I slept through most of a great movie due to emotional and physical exhaustion. Thank you volleyball. All in all, i think i split even this weekend.
