The Good and the Bad

This weekend was the Hilo Hat Draw Ultimate Frisbee Tournament. It was a weekend of good..no great things, and well one plain old shitty thing.

So first, the good...

We had a wonderful weekend hanging with our friends. Dine was here from out-of-town. Our Ohau buddies were out and about. Our Hilo friends and babies came out to play hard and enjoy the sun. If you want to check out photos, there might be some up at www.hiloultimate.blogspot.com.
Timber and I both played in the tournament. We were on the same team. We did this thinking it would be easier to have both of us at the same field to care for Miley. But we didn't even have to think about Miley while we played. Ya see, Sara took care of Miley the entire time. She took Miley away from our playing field so baby couldn't see us. That was clutch because I get distracted easily when I hear Miley cry. So I was able to focus on my game. Sara did such a good job, I forgot I was a mom.

Our team played awesome together. We played 7 games and went undefeated as tournament champions. Whoo-Hoo. Neither Timber or I have ever been tourney champs. She we feel pretty high.

But one unfortunate event brought us back to earth quickly. My wedding ring broke while we were playing. I've lost the three middle stones. Almost everyone who played in the tourney helped us comb the fields looking for the missing stones. No luck.
I am trying to get my hands on a metal detector (so they even detect gold?). I have shaken out and washed everything we used this weekend hoping it will be hiding in a pocket...no luck. Isn't that just shitty!

Oh, I'm so sorry! I wanted to send you some good jewelry finding karma! I recently lost a really tiny diamond stud earring while swimming laps at the pool. Two weeks later, a swim instructor stepped on it and found it! My friend thought she lost her wedding ring in the pool and a month later found it at the bottom of a book bag while vacationing in Hawaii! I've got my fingers crossed that you're the third, beyond all good reason, jewelry finder!!!
