Tonight was Josh's last game to ref of the fall season. Thank goodness, because it is way too cold to be out there anymore! Geeze. We were in Holland tonight and it was freezing. The wind chill was in the 20's! I don't care how much you like soccer... that's too cold. Brrr. Still defrosting. I had on 2 shirts, 2 sweatshirts, leggings, jeans, winter coat, 2 pairs of socks, mittens, scarf, 3 hats, and my boots. And I was wrapped up in a comforter. And I was still frozen to the bone.
It was a good season though - he counted tonight and he did 69 games just this fall! That's a lot. Nice chunk of change, too :) He enjoyed it, but we were both ready for it to be done. It will be so nice to have our weekends back to get projects done around the house and I don't know, relax? Plus now we can do a weekend trip or something and not have to coordinate between 5 different schedules (nearly impossible by the way!) So all in all... YAY.
Speaking of money... that is good because this weekend our refrigerator died. Not a huge surprise since it is the one that was originally put in the house 15 years ago, so we knew it wasn't going to last forever. But still. Bad timing. We are having a service guy come out tomorrow to look at it, and depending on what he says we may have to get a new one. This one may be fixable, but through our home warranty, they probably won't pay to fix at 15 year old fridge (repair man estimated parts to be as much as a new fridge!) So a new fridge would be fun... but we aren't ready to shell out the cash for it yet. We really wanted new furniture. That was our next big purchase. Looks like that might get put on hold. Again. Someday we WILL have nice furniture! Argh.
My Tigers did not win the World Series :( I really had a feeling that they were going to win last night and things would turn around. And while they did do MUCH better last night than the previous 3 games, it just wasn't enough. The Giants played really well and deserve the praise - congrats to them! But it is still sad that the Tigers were once again so close to winning it all! It was a great season, and they proved a lot of people wrong who thought they wouldn't even make it to the playoffs. It will be interesting to see what happens next year...I've heard rumors of a major team rebuilding including lots of trades...soooo who knows. Oh well. It was fun, and I'm excited to see what's next. Tonight was really weird without baseball though!
Well I'm gonna go cuddle under a million blankets and try to warm myself up... goodnight :)
uggg--just wrote a nice comment-then lost it! :(
ReplyDeleteAnyway---too bad about your fridge -- not sure if you should hope to get it fixed,or just get a new one??!! Thats probably a little more important than furniture--even though I know how anxious you are for that.
With this cold weather,its nice soccer is done--it IS too cold for that!! Beautiful sunset you had out there though :)
Sad about the Tigers--but it was a good,fun season!! Maybe next year :)
love,mom
