You’re Wearing THAT?

Tricia: I’m not sure that sweater matches those pants.

Me: I’ve been wearing this sweater with these pants for more than 3 years!

Tricia: Well I never look at what you wear.

Me: *sigh*

ICSV Bball Update: 2nd Place!

by

BBall at QSI After a tough loss against the VIS A team (44-30), we rebounded at Saturday’s Festival to take 2nd place.

The Basketball Festival is an informal tournament against the teams in our conference. We cruised in our first game to a 27-7 win over the VIS B team, but it was in our 2nd game that we thrived. Against ICSB, the Christian school in Budapest, we really jelled as a team. We played great defense, moved the ball well on offense and emerged victorious with a hard-fought 24-20 win.

Winning our first 2 games placed us 1st in our pool and earned us a spot in the title game against DIS. Though we played hard and well, we fell behind early and never were able to catch up.  Even in defeat, they kept their heads up and played good basketball. I am really proud of all of them.

Highlights from the tournament:

  • 2nd Place!!!
  • Not one, but two bank 3-point shots made by our team.
  • “Coach Klein, isn’t that a demonic symbol? You know, a Pentagram?” “Um, no. That’s a Star of David.” (Our tournament took place at a Jewish community center).

Watch this space for another update in the coming days.

Fly, Eagle, Fly!

ICSV Basketball Update

by

BBall at QSIMiddle School basketball is well underway and the team is playing well. We’re currently sitting 2-0, due primarily to a brilliant coaching strategy I’ve implemented. It’s a system I call “The > Offense”. It’s a complicated system based on a fundamental concept: When we score more than the other team, we win. Or, stated mathematically, “Our Score > Their Score = Win.” I’ve done a lot of research and noted that every winning team without exception implements this same strategy. I really don’t know why everyone doesn’t do it.

Seriously, though, I’ve been blessed with a very talented team with a great attitude. They have fun, work hard and it’s paid off for them. Our victories came against QSI Bratislava(41-6) and VIS – B team(35-19). These victories came despite the fact that we can only practice once a week on a basketball court.BBall at QSI

Next week we have a game on Thursday against VIS (A team) and a tournament on Saturday. Thursday’s game will be a big test for them, but I have no doubt they will rise to the occasion.

Please pray for us next week.  Check back for an update next weekend.

Two Dreams

by

I have two dreams for that day when I magically win several million dollars in a lottery that I’ve never entered. The first is that I want a fantastic library. One of those libraries where there are floor to ceiling bookshelves on every wall and several comfy reading couches. Oh, and a window seat. Definitely a window seat.

The second dream is that I want a huge kitchen. One where I can actually store all of our kitchen things, not just shove them on top of the cabinets and refrigerator. I want a kitchen that has lots of wall space so I can display fun food art like this:

and this:

These brilliant creations are from the blog Meat Sections. I have just wasted a ridiculous amount of time browsing through this blog. I love it! This blog is where Alyson posts her daily butchery style diagrams – mostly of food, but sometimes of things much more hilarious. If you need a way to spend a few minutes (by a few, I mean at least 30), then go check it out. If you really like her stuff you can buy it from her Etsy shop, drywell.
