All Sports are Better With Hats

I am a very competitive person, but not very athletic, which might actually be a good thing. If I were good at sports I might not have any friends because I would constantly working on beating them. There are a few things I can do and one is croquet. Perhaps it is because I really like the outfits. If more sports encouraged large floppy hats I might have tried a little harder at them.

Today we are off to celebrate our dear friend’s Mick and Hannah’s 20^th anniversary with a friendly game of croquet. Not many steps are spent on your average game so I am going to have to circle my opponents at all times to make the game exercise friendly. I think it might also make them nervous so thus my competitive side comes out.

The only problem I see in this event is that it is going to eat into my needlepoint championship, which ends on Wednesday at 4:30 exactly. I have been in a yearlong battle with a few other competitive stitchers and I bet that none of them are spending the last precious days playing croquet. Now I just have to figure out how to wear a big hat, circle the wickets, stitch and hit my ball to the stick all at the same time. I’ll post a photo on Face book if I am able to succeed. Until then, I’m off to the green.
