What's Up With That?


I was just sitting and thinking one night about nothing and suddenly it occured to me that car dealerships are not open on Sunday. Is this a state law? A federal law? Or did all the car dealerships all over the world decide unanimously that they would all stay closed on Sunday? I seems odd to me since the only day most people actually have off is Sunday. With the greediness of the car salesmen, trying to collect commissions, one would think that they would stay open on Sunday's.


Just curious.

Just three weeks left!

There is just three weeks left of school for this semester and I am so excited. This has seemed like the longest semester ever. I guess since I am getting so close to the end, it seems like it is taking forever.
That's all for now.

Soccer Mom


According to Wikipedia, soccer mom broadly refers to a middle or upper middle class women who spend a significant amount of her time transporting their school-age children to activities such as soccer practice. The male equivalent, soccer dad, is less-used.


My six year old just started soccer and I am quickly finding out that I now fit the definition of "soccer mom". So, I started out just like any new soccer mom would and started researching the game on the internet. Much to my surprise, not only did I find the rules of the game but I also found discussion boards like "Ramblings of a Catholic Soccer Mom" or "Soccer Mom: Unplugged".


I decided that for now, I am just going to have fun watching her play and worry about being a "soccer mom lifer" later.
