Lines...

Yesterday I went to a non- descript office to pick up some tickets. I knew there would be a line of some sort, but since I worked in the morning I couldn't get there until 11:45. When I walked up this is what I saw...

So I thought no problem, maybe two hours. But two hours later it still looked like this...

 So I called in a Tacobell delivery run from friends so I didn't starve. Then I called the people I was supposed to meet at 5:30 in Atlanta- not going to make that! So I kept waiting thinking maybe another hour. At this point I had pulled out the umbrella trying not I get a sunburn, read half of my not so interesting book, and chatted with the nice people around me. After 3 1/2 hours, I knew I couldn't give up at that point- so SIX hours later...

And I made it to the party a fashionable four hours late!

Ultimate and life

So the red team just won the summer league championship. I suppose I should be more excited, but I was ready for the season to be over. I only missed one game, but two of the other four girls missed a bunch. You would think that would count for something. Oh and I never missed one of the five catches that were thrown to me all season and hardly ever let the girl I was guarding get a point. But wait I am a girl. And over 20. So go me, I didn't really enjoy my team. I didn't learn a lot about strategy and the right plays and definitely not about teamwork. But I did like playing frisbee and it was good exercise. Maybe I will have a better team next year. I did learn it was at least worth trying something out of my comfort zone even if I didn't make new friends like I was hoping.

On another note, since I have been MIA from blog world... The banana peppers are about ready to eat, I gave away five tomatoes, there are four jalepenos about ready to pick, and a tiny zucchini starting to grow!

Also, I bought a new car! I got a Honda Civic to drive for the next 220,000 miles like the camry. It is nice to upgrade, but there was a little tearing up saying good-bye to the memories the camry carried with it! And next time I visit home, I will be very careful when pulling in the driveway (hint to Mom).

My renters' contract expires in less than two months and the market has not rebounding at all - if anything it has gotten worse. So they put in a offer contingent on my bank agreeing to a sort sale. But then they pulled it back. So I am still filing for a short sale and going to try to find a buyer at a lower price. Not feeling so optimistic on anything at this point. Just a rock to keep carrying for awhile. I was hoping something magical would work out, because I am seriously considering grad school for fall 2013. But I guess I will cross my fingers and keep my head up and keep going.

So in the meanwhile, my friend Sumer graduated this weekend - now all three of us here have psych degrees - and no jobs related to them at all... I went home and got to see my god kids and some friends and Dad while momsie was at grandma camp. Oh and I went to see Jenn and sight see in DC in June - pics on FB. Spent some time at the pool as usual and tried some new restaurants here. That's about the summer in a nutshell. I will try to post more! Hope everyone is doing well all around the country - and those traveling!
