Today's pairing is cinnamon stick + star. Lucky for me, I have a shirt with a star pattern, which I think is quite pleasing.
In creative risk-taking news, I want to tell you about a recent risk I've taken: While I like making new friends, sometimes I feel intimidated in the hockey department. I feel a little nervous to join the hockey mom fray in the stands, and I almost never go out for hockey parent drinks with the team. The people are all really nice. I just want to go home and wear my sweatpants, is the honest-to-goodness truth of the situation.
But at last week's tournament, I took a risk and parked myself right in there with the hockey moms. When one of them suggested that we have a Powerball Pool to become billionaires, I agreed even though I'm not a huge lottery fan. I gave her five of my dollars. I'll let you know if we win. If we win, I will be forever bonded with these hockey parents. I'll never regret sitting next to them in the stands. I already don't regret it, actually. It was a nice risk to take.
Yay for risk taking and stars and cinnamon sticks.
ReplyDeleteI learned recently that if you throw down your hockey gloves, you're ready to fight.
ReplyDeleteSo be careful if anyone throws the gloves down.
