A friend of mine commented that it was good I can poke fun at myself. Some days there is just so much material that I can't help but do it. Embarrassing, but revealing. Sometimes I feel like on of the Stooges or something. Today was one of those days.
Coming away from the Junction I think I forgot to go into one of the two left hand lanes to turn left onto Lougheed Highway. If you don't live here, I'm sorry to be specific, but you can probably picture what I mean. You may all be wondering why I said "I think I forgot". I'm not totally sure. I had the left signal light on. I was in auto-pilot mode, waiting at the light. When it turned red I began to turn left as I've done countless times. Then I said "Hey!" as this truck turns into my lane. I was just a bit behind it (thank goodness not beside it). Then as I was utrining into the lane behind the truck I noticed it's angle seemed to indicate that he had not crossed lanes. I looked in my rear view mirror. The person coming into the left lane behind me seemed on the same trajectory as the truck, and I seemed askewed. Then it dawned on me. I think I turned from the lane that was supposed to go straight. Maybe.......
This afternoon Matthew and I played Botchi Ball. During one round I noticed that Matthew seemed awfully pleased with his 2 throws compared to mine, and couldn't figure out why. He was much further away from the white ball than I was. As we approached to get the balls, I then noticed that he was aiming for the small white botchi ball, and I was aiming for....a wiffle ball. I think that's what you call the plastic baseballs with holes in them. We had to laugh about that.
Matthew let me play his Battleship computer game for 5 minutes today, and was excited to let me. He wanted to be the coach. As I had the ship sliding in all directions I pronounced "I suck at this!" He said "Yes mom, you do."
