The last few days have had some unusual moments. Somehow, my life manages to be dull and really bizarre moments all at the same time.
( This one's gross, so it's under a cut )
( This one is a little gross, too )
Also at Mer's game today, a girl from the other team didn't like that Meredith won the ball from her, so she deliberately and obviously kicked Mer in retaliation as Mer tried to walk away to keep up with the game play. Fortunately, the ref called it.
More fortunately, the ref did not see that Meredith actually took a swing at the girl. This is REALLY not a normal reaction. Mer will play very rough, and she's not above retaliating physically in game play if she's really ticked off, but she's never tried to hit someone during a game before. She felt the girl's kick and just whipped around swinging. Luckily, the girl had taken a few steps back and Mer missed. Very bizarre.
A much more typical interaction occurred later in the game when another player from the other team yelled at Mer, "What the f*ck do you think you're doing?" and Mer replied calmly, "I'm playing soccer. What are you doing?" No idea where she got that sarcastic streak... *whistles innocently*
At the same game, one of our assistant coaches got a yellow card because the ref didn't like where he was standing. o.O (League rules allow coaches to stand anywhere on their half of the sideline. The ref decided he didn't want the coaches walking down to the end of the field, and carded our coach despite the fact that his preference does not equate to a league rule. This is not the first foul the ref made up all on his own.)
After the game, Mer and I went to Ruby Tuesday's for lunch. Towards the end of the meal, I lifted my glass and the entire bottom of the glass fell off, resulting in a very wet and sticky Kate. I hadn't hit it against anything and the break was very smooth. It was one of those tall, thin glasses that tapers, so all of a sudden I was holding just a glass tube that was still filled with ice. Fortunately I was wearing my Crocs, which are super easy to clean.
