Ultimate Beach Frisbee

Discover Morehead City doesn't merely mean discover a place--for me, it means rediscovering it's people and culture.  It's so much more than the physical realm. 

So, when people get in the way of my "events", I embrace and follow along like a little new puppy. 

To the point now:  I have missed my event again. 

My own made-up event at that. What happened to my own accountability?

Well, I suppose that on Saturday I was semi-disappointed that no one wanted to go collect cans with me door-to-door (which is becoming a pattern btw).  Because of the lack of sufficient camaraderie, I got in the mindset that I could slack on the start time.  The time comes around, and I tell my mom my genius plan of pushing the wheelbarrow down the streets of Morehead, collecting cans in them.  She proceeded to demolish my dreams (which happens to be commonplace due to my everyday silly ideas). 

"It's too rusty" "That thing is an eyesore"
"You'll look ridiculous"  (Mom, I already look ridiculous)
"You're going door-to-door with a wheelbarrow?" (Yes, maybe?....)

Well, what did you do with my radio flyer little red wagon, mom?  It's not here anymore.

I suggest that I go buy one and ask her for a cost estimation. Her cost estimation: $40-60.  Mom decides she'll go halfsies with me because my niece will surely visit again.  Alright!

Not alright :(
I go to Walmart and search the toy section and garden section = none
I go to Lowe's and ask someone right off the get go = they only have garden wagons
I go to K-Mart after the lead from Lowe's guy = no wagon again

I go on to Facebook and ask "why are there no more radio flyers anywhere?" and get a lead to hardware stores = percieved success. 

I call William's Harware and they have one....except I find out when I get down there, that it practically could fit on someone's desk.  My foot could fit in it...

Then I call three more hardware stores; two had them.

Mom's quotes = completely not even close.  One = $90  Two = $169

That's a no go on reliving my little red wagon days.

Suffice to say, I'm not telling my mom my ideas anymore--she seems to bewitch me into doing the logical.  I love you, mom!

I spent so much time on searching for a wagon, that the afternoon went by.  I decided to postpone my trip around the neighborhood for the next day after church and some beach frisbee--with my wheelbarrow too (I don't care how ridiculous I look this time).

When I knew the Event wasn't happening:

After church I was planning on hanging out (ultimate beach frisbee) with some new friends I'm making, but I did not realize that that meant literally the whole afternoon. 

We started at 1 and went until 4---three hours of running, and some walking, on the beautiful, windy, beach.  Seven v. Seven.  My knees are old and tired--thanks to all those years of soccer.  Surprisingly, I was not that much out of breath with two years of inconsistant work-outs.  Touche, respiratory and circulatory systems!

Now until May, I will be taunted by the desire for summer all because of today's outing....

Well, I am still going to attempt the can collecting during the week if I can squeeze it in with my work schedule and a test I have. 

Next Event:
It's still in the air! Vote is continuing now between Belly Dancing and St. Patty's Day festival.

Following event:
Camping in Boone, NC area with 20 or more Morehead people. 

Next Vote:

2. I cannot believe I have the guts to list this, but here it goes! I'm foreseeing fainting spells just thinking about it. I've never attempted anything even in the same category of acting.
