Whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek...and back...and leg...and hair...

I imagine you've all seen the clip of that soccer player who apparently thought she was in a WWE match rather than a soccer game. If not, check it out here.

Well I happened to be reading a post on a Yahoo sports blog about this charming woman, and the writer made some very good points. He also asked a couple of interesting questions:

How did she keep getting away with it? Why didn't her teammates tell her to cool it? Why didn't somebody on BYU give it right back to her?

Yeah, hey...why didn't any of those BYU players fight back in kind? Hmmmmm...I wonder...

What comes down, must go up

Some of you are well-acquainted with the drama of our garage (which I promised to blog about but never did). Well, despite additional drama at the last minute, we are now well on our way to having a brand-spanking new garage. Here's a taste of the excitement around our house:

November 3rd--Laying out the forms for the foundation


November 9th--Pouring the concrete


November 10th--cement-block footers installed


November 11th--WALLS!! (Sort of)


November 12th--It looks like...a garage!!


The kids are very excited about all this construction going on. They had fun yesterday running in circles now that there is an "inside" again.


The goal for today was to get the plywood on the roof and put the shingles on. More pictures to come! (And a full blog post about the demo and construct later...when it's all done. I know, promises promises.)
