Archery Update!

Annabelle just finished her first competitive round in Archery. It was over a coarse of 5 weeks at 7:30 am on Saturdays. She had three shots per target at a total of 10 targets each week. Scoring was kept each week and then  averaged out. Annabelle came in second place! She was so excited to get her first archery trophy.


Even personalized with a girl archer on top!
Annabelle will have another 3 weeks to practice her craft before the next league starts. She's excited and hoping to improve on her placement. We are so proud of her.

Clepto?

Finally after several months of being unhappy with our cleaning staff at work, I've pulled the plug. I've given them notice and have hired a new crew. However, I think the cleaning company's management that we worked with must have already told the crew they are being let go (we had to give 30 day notice) and I'm paying the price oddly.

I came into a very clean office on Monday. If they had cleaned like this all along they would have remained our cleaning staff. They even finally cleaned the kitchen microwave and actually moved the kitchen garbage can to mop the floor, but they threw out two of my plants right off my desk, which when phoned about she openly admitted she threw them out! Now, I've discovered my name plate missing from my desk too!

I know the shamrock plants were cute and being St. Patty's week I could see someone wanting to take them home. They were from our client appreciation party last week. I enhanced them with our logo and a carnation but really to steal them or throw them out as she claims? The name plate I'm baffled about. It's not like my name is something others would desire. I'm afraid now to see what else will be done or gone on Monday!

Arena Ball

Scott on Defense - White Jersey #22


#22! Tall man on the team.

Scott is playing Arena Football and loving it. It's played indoors on a field only 50 yards long. For those of you who are not football junkies, it's half the length of an outdoor field. Thankfully the walls are padded but if you touch the padding you are out of bounds. There are some other quirky but fun rules too, like when you kick a field goal if the ball goes off the side nets you can rebound it and run it in for another touchdown. It's a fun, fast paced game and only played with 8 guys a side. Since it's indoors we see a lot of balls kicked a little too high and hitting the rafters. DUCK! Good kickers are a must in this game. Scott's team is so far undefeated (3 games in) and have been for the last three years. Let's hope they stay on that roll. They are appropriately named "MPX Storm". We have 6 more games this season before playoffs.
