My denial in argyle

The title has nothing to do with this post... just a great lyric I heard recently. Life has been pretty good on this end, finally feeling like life is coming together here in Vancouver. Been playing heaps of frisbee, meeting more people, went on a tournament and I have exciting things coming up.

Recently I made my first trip to the island... Nanaimo to be exact. It was a last minute decision to attend Udderbowl a frisbee tournament. Such a fun tournament, I played on a totally thrown together team that played amazing well considering we never played together before. Only totally random team to make the A pool out of 18 teams! Unfortunately there was a re-tweek of the cankle... so I have been making an active effort to rest it and let the swelling go down.

For the summer, playing on a women’s team, 3 league teams (part time for one) and beach volleyball... going to be a lot of exercise happening but that’s what makes me happy so sounds excellent to me.

Last weekend had a slightly random but really fun weekend. Friday I had a couple of ladies I know over for wine and a really nice meal, Saturday I went to a lobster boil held by a bunch of East Coasters, then onto a rugby ‘fight night’ (basically watching rugby player box eachother bloody), Sunday followed up with brunch, shopping and beach volleyball. Lots to do and lots of people to hang out with, just how I like it!

In recent news, purchased a ticket to Calgary! Maggie is going to meet me there, will hang out with Tiona and the brother. I’m pretty excited. Was a sweet deal that I couldn’t turn down, especially since I’ve never been. I’m pretty sure it will just be a big Newfie party, but I could definitely use some of that in my life. A little home away from home is definitely in order.

March Madness ruled my life!

It is sad how every March I fall off of the social radar... and then don’t understand how it happens. It is probably one of my few addictions, well NCAA March Madness (American College Basketball) and Frisbee. Coming right off the Olympics I have watched more TV in the last two months than I did the entire year before (no March Madness in Australia). As much as I love the games, the last minute points, getting my butt kicked in my bracket, the trash talk and the allegiances with schools that I have nothing to do with... I am really looking forward to reclaiming my social life.

The weather is starting to clear up, frisbee season is around the corner and I start beach volleyball in a couple of weeks. I’m getting excited. Surprisingly I didn’t even have to look for summer teams for frisbee, I have had 5 requests... deciding if I want to play 3 or 4 times a week. Most teams don’t practice here so it would be pretty similar to the amount I played at home. I’m excited about getting back out into the world for other reasons than to exercise. This coming weekend there are a couple of parties and book club, gonna hit the ground running.

In another month and a couple of weeks I’m heading to Florida with my mom and aunt. Super excited, I can’t wait to see them and for the beach! I know I live near beach now but it is too mild to enjoy it here yet.
