Blog

WARNING: Random thoughts!

OK, so this is the kind of stuff we think about. With the whole worlds going crazy in this fad of blogging, we have decided (somewhat against our principles and will) to have a blog as well to keep you all updated about things in our life that you don't really care about.

We know the history of the word blog, and why subsequently it is called a "blog", but here in the Holt household, we think the word "blog" sounds like a euphemism for the word "vomit".

Think of it...it fits with the others: barf, spew, upchuck, hurl, puke and blog.

It can be used as a noun OR a verb.
Examples:
The janitor cleaned up the blog from the floor. (noun)
I ate some bad fish at the restaurant, and now I feel like I am gonna blog. (verb)

See...this is the kind of stuff we think about. There is never a dull moment at the Holt home.

Stay tuned for some more random thoughts!!

Soccer Mom

Well, it has finally happened. I am officially a soccer mom.
I don't know if this comes as a surprise to any of you who know me...but it is quite a surprise to me. It may be somewhat a surprise, because this is Calvin writing this post, not Ilene.
That's right...Enterprise has a youth (elementary school) soccer league now and Ilene has been asked to coach and be involved since she is one of the few people in town that actually knows anything about soccer and has experience playing on a competitive level.
So...that means that each Saturday morning, bright and early, I get to wake up and make the pilgrimage to the elementary with my two daughters in tow and watch 5 and 6 year old kids run around and "play" soccer.
I am not exactly sure how a soccer mom is supposed to act...so if any of you have any ideas, I am open to suggestions. I just want to fit in with all the other soccer moms!
