We watched "Survivor All-Stars" all the way through to the bitter end last night. We remain amazed that Rob could talk people into slitting their own throats time and time again. Lex was pretty hilarious. His anger, eye-rolling, theatric sighs, etc. while on the jury at the end of every episode was pretty funny, but he needs to direct that anger at himself. He was the one stupid enough to put Rob in charge when he had no need to.

On the other hand, I'd be pretty pissed off, too, watching him gloat about it so much. I mean, Rob acts all contrite like he still wants to be friends in front of Lex, but when Rob's brother came to visit, they couldn't stop laughing about how Rob stuck the knife in Lex's back. Oh well, that's the appeal ... watching people act crazy and unpredictable.

It was nice to relax for a few hours at the end of a busy weekend. We had three soccer games, and I think I must've spent 10 of my 16 waking hours out of the house running various errands on Saturday. Sunday's game was the worst, as it was another hour of watching Sarah's team get shut out (they haven't scored a goal all season, and this might have been their last game). And that hour came after a 45-minute delay during which time we had no referee.

I'll probably eat these words someday, but I'm really looking forward to Sarah being in the school band instead of soccer.
