NNNnnnnnggh.

Ugh. I think I'm gonna go back to bed soon. Today needs to start again without sucking as much.

Amazing miracle/answered prayer of the week - I went to Goodwill on Thursday, and found.... a lacrosse stick!!! Unbelievable - those things are never at thrift stores! Only thing was, that Friday was their 50% off day. So would I buy it for $10, or come back tomorrow to try and get it for $5, hoping that nobody beat me to it?

After walking around for a while, I looked at it again - and found it had two pricetags on it :) One saying $10, and one saying $4 :) Dilemma solved - and I now have a spare lacrosse stick so people can practise with me, and it only cost $4. Yay :)

I took it home, and restrung the head properly, and now it is all good :)


And tomorrow (Sunday) we have our lacrosse final! Last season we made it to the finals as well, but we lost, so we came second. I wonder if we'll win tomorrow? The suspense!!!

If we win, I think our team pic will be up on the site, so if I forget to blog, you can see it HERE: http://www.torontolightninglacrosse.com/ My team is the Swarm.

Cos I told people I'd take pics of lacrosse...



 Ok, so I'm not in any of these, cos all my people are busy when I'm playing lacrosse (i.e. they're on my team, and ALSO playing lacrosse, lol) but this is the game before ours last Sunday....

The goal is TINY and I still haven't managed to get a ball past the huge padded goalie who stands in front of it :( The person in black is one of the umpires. The space is as big as an ice skating rink, but it has fake grass on it. They also use it for indoor soccer. Up around the edges of the room is a running track that I've never used.

Here's what it looks like on the outside:


Ta dah!
