The weekends are the busy time of the week for me. Today I shuffled from errands to fun, with zero down time and not a second to spare.

The first thing on my agenda for today was the disaster hairdo I’ve had going for some time now–the last time scissors touched my scalp was in October. You can probably understand how my head turned into a rat’s nest since then. I have gone back and forth about cutting my hair, lying to myself that I could wait until the project was over.

Well, this week I decided I had had enough. I went searching for a free haircut off Craigslist.

The cut was not entirely free as they were asking for donations for the Special Olympics. I chipped in $10 and hustled to my next appointment for the day, racquetball with my boss from Lovesac.

I love this sport. It is like tennis, but on crack. If you have never played before, let me break it down for you really quickly. You stand in an enclosed court, hitting a very bouncy rubber ball off any wall in sight, ceiling included. It’s not worth explaining all of the details, but, if you are interested in chasing a blue bullet for an hour, I suggest you find a friend and get to the nearest court.

It was a lot of fun playing with someone I knew. Eric, my boss, has a great sense of humor and does not take the game very seriously. I almost beat him, but my newness at the game showed when I made clumsy errors, flailing my racquet like an 11-year-old flaps her arms when she sees a bee.

I should mention, Eric thought it would be oh-so hilarious if he fired a shot at my back. He hit me square in the love handle and I have a red welt that may just turn purple, if I’m lucky.

After the games, I ran to my car and went to my friend David’s for the US Men’s Olympic Hockey gold medal game. I honestly don’t even want to talk about how it ended, much less, write about it.

Here’s why. I don’t like Sidney Crosby. I am a Washington Capitals fan and he represents all that is evil in Hockey. He smirks and he complains and worst of all, he’s a Penguin. Well, he scored the game-winning goal, in overtime. That was the end of my weekend right there.
