My thoughts on sports....

So, it seems that recently, all my friends want to do is participate in sports related activities. Tennis, volleyball....whatever the case may be. Last week, I sat for 3 hours watching them play tennis, and last night, I sat around while they played volleyball for almost 2 hours.


Now, it's not that I hate sports, it's just that watching them is not on the top 100 (maybe more) list of things I find enjoyable. I have no sports ability in me, as it skipped me when I was born. I don't see why people get all into them like they do, screaming and yelling at the players and coaches.


I don't understand all the rules, and this probably doesn't help either. Now, there are a few sports that I do think are kind of cool....gymnastics, ice skating, skateboarding, surfing, and other extreme sports. I think these things take real talent. I won't get all into this because I know people will try to argue with me, so that's all I'll say about this topic.


Anyways, I just think life needs to be balanced. I love to watch movies and go to new places and just walk around. I love musicals and the theater and concerts. I love going to the beach at night and just spending quality time with people I enjoy being with. I like meaningful conversations and really getting to know someone on a deeper level. There are SO many other things to do besides play sports.


On a different note, we got out of work yesterday at 12:30 because of an odor in our office. We got a new roof put on, and the smell from it was terrible. I guess according to federal law or whatever, we were required to be sent home.....WITH pay! Oh yeah! I stopped at Bath and Body Works to stock up on lotion and soap and lip gloss and then went to the pool with Staci. :-) It made my weekend that much better.


Tonight, I am going to see Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. I still have to see Mama Mia, too. I don't get to the movies very often here, and it makes me sad. We usually rent movies from Redbox, though, so I stay caught up that way.


I'm going to try and read some more in Breaking Dawn today. Hopefully I can get over this hump and start really enjoying it. My friend, Sean-Paul, who is totally straight, has read the whole series! He likes them, and I think "If he can read the series and like them, certainly I can get through this last book!" haha....


Well, I'm off to the gym and then to get groceries. Typical Saturday things. :-)
