Mental Note To Self

The Devil Wears Nada is NOT THE SAME AS The Devil Wears Prada! Seriously…this was a revelation to me..OR … a sign that my vision really is in a serious decline.

Tit for Tat

What do you do if you want to do better in sports, get faster, reduce resistance?? Chop somthing off, something you don’t use of course, unnecessary things. Hopefully then you can win a gold medal and the love of your country. God, what a sacrifice. Just imagine how one could be thrust into the spotlight after singing the Star Spangled Banner! Maybe instead of a cereal box we could put
Jana Rawlinson picture on a box of surgical instruments like sayyyy…scalpels.

Slacka daisy winter blues or some thing like that

Haven’t posted for awhile. No real reason. Maybe I’m using facebook more. Becoming less verbal. Speaking in short sentences. Trying to put everything into one little “status update” sentence. Every sentence a bit haiku like. The wave of the future…? I wonder. Many people might be happy my rambling nonsensical blog posts have become sporadic but what does that say about me? I hate the fact my posts are so clean lined and flat. I hope this isn’t a change that sticks. I’m going to make an effort to blog a bit more. Play word scrabble a bit less. It’s true. I’m addicted and driven to beat the high score of a friend on facebook. A score that seems to be unattainable. Somehow I can’t believe that anyone can get so high a score without CHEATING!! Also, my daughter has a high score that is jabbing me in the side of my head where my speed typing has become lazy or nonexistent. Too competitive you ask? Yes. Absolutely. However…I may need an intervention as I often dream about words now. Wake myself up saying…RADIATE! and ERASER! and RESEARCHER! and run to the computer to see if I can find the “perfect game”. That being the one in which I BEAT THE HIGH SCORE!
Well…almost time to get up now. Lucky for me I’ve been up for hours. Better go turn off the alarm and get ready to make the donuts…8) Or…maybe I could in a game of word scrabble……………..

Axtell…we take 3rd!

Andrew got a third and Alec a fourth! Hot Damn!! We are doing fine!

Cambridge finished third and had the most champions, three, while S-E-M finished fourth with six wrestlers in the finals. The only Mustang to win a gold medal was John Frerichs at 145 pounds. In the finals, he pinned his younger brother, Calvin, who was technically competing unattached.

Third at Sargent !

The wrestlers took FIRST in the Elwood tourney! There were 10 teams competing. Alec came away with a second place, Anthony, a second, Kalen and Carson both a first and Catlin and Cody got first. Don’t remember when we last won an entire meet!! We had a long and exciting 8 hours at the meet…8* This is what we call bleacher butt syndrome to the max. Next meet is Friday and we travel to Sargent. Not sure yet how far that is but I would guess an entire day gone with the wind. Our Christmas party is the next night. Should be good.

Thinking of Wattles and Such

What a name. Don’t even have to think about what that might entail. I mean…just say it…W A T T L E. You can see the shaking quivering bag of flesh without knowing what the definition is. I keep thinking of my arms. and my Grandmas arms…sigh. That isn’t nice but I do think of her arms. She had big arms and they were soft and a little bit…well…shaky…wiggly you might say. But all the better to hug you and make you homemade bread and stir the soup pot with and who cares about a little wattle anyways…!

We are going to go to Omaha for Thanksgiving this year.  This day in fact.  Going to spend a few days with Katie girl!  whooot whooot!  Mayhaps we will go shopping on Black Friday.  I never have before…not sure if I will like it or not.  I’m a great online shopper but REAL LIVE SHOPPING…?  Not so much.  I will do my best people.  Katie is doind pies.  A pumpkin and a caramel apple one she says.  yum!   I’m bringing ham and going to put pineapple, brown sugar and a 7-up on it.  I don’t know the recipe, just the ingreedients.  It will cook over night and be fantastical I hope…crossing fingers.  The only bad thing about going is we had to take Pissin’ Petie to the vet for boarding.  In fact I just got back from there…wiping tear away.  How sad.  I wish I didn’t have to do it.  He’s in a “run” with cold metal and the place smells like dog shit..serious dog shit…gag.  He looked SO FREAKING SAD !!  Too bad I couldn’t have found someone to take him.  Too bad he is so moody and such and likes to piss on peoples boots and things.  Dang you Petie!  Snoogie is going to someones home.  He will be babied there I’m sure.  There is NO WAY I would leave him in a cold metal cage…aghhhhh  I feel terrible about Petie.  He will hate me forever and ever now!!!  Last time he was there he went on a food strike…heyyyyyyy maybe I should have them lock me in there after the Thanskgiving meal!  yes!  New Diet Spa!

They played their hearts out and we are proud!

Cedar Catholic stuns Cambridge in semi

HARTINGTON — Hartington Cedar Catholic scored two touchdowns in the final 2 minutes, 16 seconds, including the game-winning score with 0.6 seconds left, as the fourth-ranked Trojans rallied to beat Cambridge 26-20 in the Class C-2 semifinals on Tuesday.

Senior quarterback Justin Leise hit classmate Cody Klug seven times for a C-2 state playoff record 208 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winner. The previous record was 206 yards set by Matt Davison of Tecumseh in 1996 against Hebron.

Klug broke free from a would-be tackler at the 20-yard-line and raced to the end zone, completing a play that covered 39 yards.

“He made a great spin move and got around the defenders,” Leise said.

Cedar Catholic senior Chad Koch was limited to 97 yards on 29 carries but did score from the 2 with 2:16 to play, capping a 16-play, 73-yard drive aided by a pass interference penalty.

After the Trojans tied the game on Koch’s two-point conversion scamper, Cedar Catholic (10-2) forced a three-and-out and took possession at its 34 with 30.8 seconds left.

Koch gained 11 yards on first down before Leise hooked up with Klug for 16 more, setting Cedar Catholic up for the last-second heroics.

Unranked Cambridge (8-4) dominated the first half, taking a 13-0 lead while outgaining Cedar Catholic 203-58. But the Trojans rolled up 270 yards of offense in the second half.

Leise passed for a season-high 230 yards. Gus Peterson rushed for 148 to lead Cambridge.
