Weekend update

The weekend was OK. I had a ton to do and just not enough hours. In addition to work, and cleaning, and the usual soccer, I had my second piano lesson. It was great. Apparently I'm too hard on myself and I am doing way better than most adults on their second class. Of course, I have had many years of music experience. But according to the piano teacher, playing the piano is a whole other story. So yay!

I went out to dinner with the family on Sunday for Father's Day. And while I have allegedly done so in the past, this year I really did find the perfect card for my dad. It said: "I know that all these years I was a little difficult, hard-headed at times, and had that know-it-all attitude, but there was a good reason for all that: HEREDITY!" Boy oh boy, that card sure got it all right and dad got a great laugh from it.

My dad and I had always had that special bond, and I think maybe it made my mom just a little jealous. My brother and she were making fun of us while we were waiting to be seated for dinner. Some things just never change! No matter what though, we've always been a happy family, and I really appreciate that. There are also a lot of people around me that don't get along with their parents that they don't even call them, and that just blows my mind, and makes me appreciate mine just a little bit more.

All in all it was a good weekend, but if I had less work to do, it would have been even better.

I had so much time this weekend, that I learned so many lessons

- Promise people you'll water their plants when the forecast shows RAIN. Then say, hey, I stopped by and watered the plants. Hopefully, they don't know it rained.

- I should appreciate my cat more. She doesn't hiss. She doesn't bite. She doesn't even use her claws against anyone. When I give her a treat, she eats it, instead of hissing at me.

- Babysitting is the best birth control.

- Teach some people how to flirt.

- I miss J and B. They were awesome going out mates. The best, hands down. No one cramping no one's style. No one getting in moods and ruining the night. No one driving anyone away. No one choosing boys over girlfriends. And more importantly they weren't sluts and didn't even act like it. I really miss that.

- I miss playing music. I miss French classes. I miss running.

- Back to soccer next weekend. Thankfully!

Another fun-filled busy weekend

My weekend started on Friday. Unlike myself, I decided to go out on Friday night, mainly because a friend is a teacher and they were having a benefit for the school where she teaches at a bar nearby. Don't worry, the kids weren't invited. But now I know how teachers dealt with the craziness of teaching: the got together and got drunk! So, I did too. Sadly, I was drunk and back at home before midnight. That's what happens when you start drinking at 7 pm.

Saturday, I had breakfast/lunch with a friend, then went shopping for a mother's day gift. My mom is SO hard to shop for. She has everything she needs, and she's not the kind of person for whom you can buy useless little cute things. So I ended up buying her some books, because she used to be very well-read, and even now she still reads, but mostly books in Arabic. I thought that she really needs to read some good books in English, so I bought her a couple of books about politics, one of them about Hillary Clinton, and the other about Lenin. Then I picked up a gift card for her.

Well, good thing I did that yesterday, because we ended up celebrating mother's day on Saturday evening. I took my parents to a nice Italian restaurant. They really liked it. Very unusual, because they usually are very picky about the places where they eat.

***HOT REF ALERT! HOT REF ALERT!***

Today, Sunday, I had to play in two soccer games, but ended up playing in three. You see, I played a long soccer game in the morning, about 2 hours. My afternoon game was at 4:30. When we got done, the teams that were playing after us needed more girls to be able to play and not forfeit their game, so I stayed, but I really only stayed because of the cute ref. Oh, I've talked about him previously.

Well, today, me and the cute ref were flirting WAY TOO MUCH. I found out his name is Robert, and when he told me that, I said: "you don't look like a Robert."
He said: "oh yeah, what did you think my name is?"
I couldn't come up with anything and just said: "I don't know, something else."
He said: "well, let me know when you come up with it."
I said: "too late. It would've been better if it just came out, then I would seem witty. Now, it's a lost cause."
In reality, I had a name for him: "A F-ING HOT REF THAT I WANT TO DO RIGHT ON THE SOCCER FIELD." But I didn't know how he would take that!

I guess Robert will do. We laughed together a lot. He laughed at some stupid jokes I made. He said: "it's not fair, you make me laugh, you say really funny witty things."
He said: "I'm a happy person, I like happy people. You seem like a happy person."
He also said: "I really like nice people. You seem pretty nice."

When I was leaving, he said: "see you next week."
I said: "actually see you in two weeks or actually three weeks."
He said: "you won't be here next week? Why not?"

He is really cute. So cute, I just want to lick him. I don't know why. I'm not too crazy about the name Robert. I may have to rename him. I should tell him that next time. Someone help me come up with a good name for him. He has straight dark brown hair, and nice brown eyes, and a beautiful smile. He's fit, about 6' or 6'1". Let that guide you in helping me name him. He's definiltey the cat's meow. MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOW!
