These Are a Few of My Favorite Things...

Last update for a little while.  Pending my parents' plans being finalized (which won't be until five minutes before we leave), I will be out of internet range (my Lappy doesn't get to go 'cause Mom's got all kind of Christmas goodies to pack in.  Happy for Christmas!  Sad for no Lappy T_T).  But there shall be all kind of happy high school basketball action - Delta's ranked first in the 3A!! (click the link, scroll down a skoash). That's what happens when the BIG 5A 2960-students MONSTER Bingham High only beats you by 6 (instead of 40, as was predicted).  Not bad for a little-bitty 469-students school out in the sticks.

I'm pleased to say that Bingham's fans were impressed by us last Saturday.  My sister was in the bathroom after the game and overheard some of Bingham's moms marvel at how tall our guys are (we've got one 6'8" center and my brother's 6'5" and all our guards are 6'0" and thereabouts) and also how good our guys were.  I'm really proud of them.  The best part about Delta sports is that we know how little we are (numbers-wise, we should be in the 2A - the cut-off between 2A and 3A is 500 students), but we still show up to compete against the bigger schools.  I mean, Bingham could send in a fresh and rested 5-man troop every quarter, but Delta's guys had to play pretty much the whole game (we did have some subs go in, but not at the frequency of Bingham's).  Personally, I'm counting the "loss" against Bingham as a win because our guys played their guts out.

So now, they've got a big three-game road trip starting tomorrow, which is where we're all going (Delta's fans may be few, but we're dedicated - I swear the whole town travels to all the away games.  Okay, it's really just the families of the players, but it's fun).

In other fun (for those on my f-list who aren't sports-oriented), here's a meme I snagged from rosevixen.  Enjoy!

Well, you're not that strange. ;]

Oh man! Totally forgot about the Powerpuff Girls! I love that show. It has so much kid potential but a ton of adult humor at the same time. I miss it.

And yes, Prince Caspian will be made of awesome. ;]

I'd almost forgotten about PPG, but I found my old talking Bubbles dolls in my closet, put new batteries in and they still work!

Just to clarify my comment, you go right ahead a love country. I won't stop you there. You're allowed to have an opinion ^_^.

But my opinion is, Country SUCKS!

You know how bizarre it is to see a nice, pretty Audrey Hepburn icon next to a word like "barf?" Just making an observation...
