Wonder Woman

The Guys

Tuesday night I was treated to my first NBA basketball game.  I feel kind of bad for bashing the German professional team because the crowd at the Pacers game was similar, if not smaller, than the Germany vs. Macedonia game that we attended back in August.  The Super Bowl atmosphere was evident and there was a lot of buzz about a couple players sitting court side.  Of course I get excited at the thought of meeting a celebrity, but people need to chill out a bit.  Kassy being one of the worst of them.  I'm kidding, but she was staring and I did make fun of her a couple times for it.  I felt a lot of sympathy for the football guys.  They were barraged with pictures and autograph requests about 10 minutes after they took their seats and if anything, the crowds got worse as the game went on.  On a fun note, after half time Kyle, Kassy's brother, upgraded us to 3 rows behind the football guys and we were officially court side (almost).

After the game we had a few drinks at a Mexican restaurant by Kyle's apartment and called it a night.  After we dominated a pizza, of course.  I woke up 30 minutes before my alarm and cruised back to Carmel to get ready for work.  Although I wasn't hungover, my day was rough and I was struggling despite my frequent coffee breaks.  I texted Kassy and told her I didn't understand my energy level and she responded with, "we're old".  We might not be too old, but I will agree, it's hard to stay up late on a work night.  I refused an invitation from Alex to meet her downtown for dinner the next evening because the thought of not sitting on the couch for a second consecutive night seemed too overwhelming.  Being busy is great, but I need some butt to couch time in a real bad way.

In other news, my mother is now the proud owner of a new hip.  I think we should give her about 2 weeks and she'll be fighting to get outside and fire up the chainsaw.  That lady is unstoppable.
