104 degrees
sandy beach
volleyball
babes
did an image of women's breasts in red swimsuits with lifesaving gear running down the beach just pop in to your head? haha mine too. however this isn't what i wanted to talk about, but it's funny how certain words, smells, and or sounds trigger a memory. i can't tell you how many times i have been transported to a different time in my memory.
what i was going to talk about was mamma weekend 2012!! yes it was hot in the hundreds. yes we had a sandy beach right on the river. yes there was volleyball on a sand court. and obviously we are babes. what in the world is mamma weekend? once a year my mamma friends (my core group of girlfriends) get together to reconnect, rejuvenate and laugh until our sides and faces hurt.
this year i kind of screwed things up. actually i really screwed up. if you are my bestie you would use a whole lot of profanity to explain how royally i screwed up, but this is a family show so we will keep it clean. i double booked my weekend. i had arranged for myself to be in two places almost 200 miles from each otherat the same time. either i have a revolutionary secret that i am just not sharing or i'm an idiot. you're best bet is to choose option "b", because there is nothing revolutionary here.
i rolled into mamma weekend early saturday evening. just in time for dinner, a game of bananagrams and two rounds of beach volleyball. i still had plenty of time to shoot the breeze, poke fun at one another and reconnect with my best girlfriends.
since i missed most of mamma weekend i have limited stories to share, but my favorite part was volleyball. with my arrival there were now even teams; four on four. team a: duedue, schaff, lala and trickey. team b: sam, shreddie, bethy and flo. a quick run down on the teams
team a (reserved for those 5'5" and under):
lala - powerful under hand serve and always places it in the center
schaff - willing to sacrifice her body for a dig, she spent a good time rolling in the sand
duedue - her tactic scare 'em at the net
trickey - there is a reason she has the name trickey
team b (an amazing height advantage):
sam - more power than she knows what to do with, we needed a bigger court
shreddie - she would make a great coach
bethy - the MVP of our team
flo - i was worthless but i had good spirit
both teams expended too much energy laughing and crossing our legs so we wouldn't pee. let's be real, we are all women who have given birth, excessive laughter can end badly for us. team b called a lot of redo's. team a got the shaft when they tried. team b talked a big game. team a had far better skills and whooped team b.
mamma weekend is one of those annual events that solidifies my relationships with the ladies and fills my heart. i love you mammas
