Hello all! Once again, I have updated ye-olde blog. Anyways, moving right into the first item of business, I need to give a shout-out to my oldest nephew. Little guy (well, he'll be taller than me in a few years) turns 9 today. Crazy...he's been in my life for almost a decade. Which also means I'm getting old...crap.
So...since my title says dating, all of you are now on the edge of your seats (or sitting a little more upright on your bed, whichever one it is) with anticipation. Well, it was a blind date to the homecoming dance. In the afternoon, we went to a little park and played boci ball. It was mobile boci ball, as in we moved every round. Very fun. I went to the football game on my own since...well, people had other plans and some just weren't interested in football.
going to a stadium by yourself is scary. Just because I know that there are the mega creepy guys on the prowl, looking for confused scared girls like me. I ended up finding people I know, but I didn't really talk to them...they were in their own little world. So, I watch the football game without anyone to talk to.
As much I as love to scream with joy...it sucks when you have to watch your team lose. 34-35. so close...So close...double overtime.
But what really was cool was watching the entire stadium stand up and scream, as we watched the whole game play out. It was aweinspiring. to watch a sea of blue scream and shout at the field below. And the football players kept urging us on to keep cheering. It was a moment I was proud to be a part of that.
After the game got out, we went to the dance. Now, it was supposed to be a '50's dance. Which would imply that they're playing 50's music. NOPE. it was either hip-hop/dirty dancing or country swing. Now, I like swing dancing. but...i got country-ed so fast.
Another thing that WAAY bothers me is that everyone does cotton-eyed joe WRONG! you do NOT do the Boot Scootin' Boogie to that song. You do the Cotton-Eyed Joe. Granted, I have to teach people, then have them teach others. But still. it's kinda common sense the Boot Scootin' boogie dance belongs to that song...
Oh, my date. Right. Well, it was fun. A lot of fun, and it was a blind date, so it was really good. No kissing (come on people. I'm not a first date kisser type) but we did hug. And he wanted to see me again. :) I think i can do this dating thing...
That always bothered me too!!! Seriously, why don't those people do the right dances to the right song like our school does! EVERYWHERE else I've been they do it differently!
