MY FIRST BASKETBALL GAME...AND I LIKED IT!!

For Christmas I got my Dad tickets to see the Warriors play. He has always wanted to see them live but my Dad is...kind of a cheapskate (love you Dad!) meaning the chances of him ever spending money one basketball games are as likely as Madonna having dinner with the pope if you get my drift. I bought him two tickets so that my sister could go with him but my Mom & her are currently in Hawaii so I went with Dad and I thought I would not enjoy myself at all since I don't particularly care for sports.

I had a great time and I cheered and I asked questions and saw a lot of tall handsome men sweatin' down the court. They won the game which I believe was 130-121 after overtime. It was such a good game as both teams were on their A-game. They lost to the San Antonio Spurs which I didn't realize until later features Tony Parker (Eva Longoria's husband.) It was so great to see my Dad so happy - I am glad I could share his joy with him and at the same time experience something new. Yay! =+)

On a sad note, I just read that the Golden Globes Awards ceremony would not go on because of the writer's strike. While I worship the writers and all that they do, I wish that they would have been able to come up with a solution or agreement in order to let the awards go and perhaps they could have used the awards to support the writers strike. The Golden Globes are usually one of my favorite award shows to watch - I am very sad by this. What's next to be cancelled - the Oscars?

And on an ever sadder note - my Mother comes home today. My vacation (or peace of mind) is officially over. =+)

Cheers
