Warning: Hardcore Enrichment Activities from P-town

I have a huge bruise on my arm from "Slam it over Cyndi". Last night, trying to be social, I went and played volleyball with the ladies from the ward.

I thought it would be a really friendly, casual game. Oh no! These girls were spouting off rules and regs like nobody's business! At one point I was chided by my own team for fraternizing with the opposing team about our cute shoes... SERIOUSLY!

I must admit even though it was more intense than I bargained for it still was a lot of fun. I'll go again. But now that I have been fairly warned I'll pass along my tip in case you want to join the madness: Take your game face with you to the chapel, and don't bother discussing someones cute shoes- save it for the Sunday chit-chat.

    All I can see in my head is the cover of "Church Ball" but with you wild girls on the cover instead! That's so funny!

    Me, Nancie and my little sis who's a stud v-baller went to the church a couple of weeks ago to play a bit and seriously thought we were being punked because of how terrible the net was. What net did you guys use?

    Ah, church sports....it's serious business. Men's basketball is even worse.

    I love playing volleyball; I wish our stake would do something like that.

    So I'm totally never going to that enrichment activity. I am NOT a sporty girl by any means. Really, the only thing I could do is be the cheerleader. Oh, and perhaps talk about someone's cute shoes!

    Thanks for the warning. I will stay far away! That doesn't sound like fun at all. I was even half tempted to go. I loved V-ball back in the day. I was even a referee in high school.....

    I had a friend in Hermiston that used to travel to Utah every year to compete in volley ball tournaments. Me? I can recognize a volleyball. That's about as good as it gets!

    Wow that sound like so much fun...not really. I am one of the few who really does not like that sport. Now if it was basketball I might consider it but not if I would be in trouble for telling someone they have cute shoes! I am glad that you survived.

    I was just starting to think maybe I could do it until I read your post. Now i'll gladly sit home and watch Friends re-runs instead.
