It’s the week before I turn 33, and what am I doing? Well, putting off the final Sammy the Cat blog because I don’t want to plug my phone into my computer. But even more than that…I’m planning for football. What is that? Football has already started? Not for me. You see, I have been asked to play for the Kansas City Titans.
Let me take you back…
A couple months ago, I was watching one of the first episodes of the current season of the X Factor. Have I mentioned that I am a sucker for reality (or semi-reality) TV? Plus I have to learn the shows since eventually I will be on one. But anyway, this one female contestant played professional football. Professional Women’s Football? Who knew? I had to know more so I began searching the world wide web.
That’s when I learned there is a team in Kansas City and they were right in the middle of open tryouts. Of course, I immediately wanted to be a part of this. (Leave your cliche lesbian jokes at home. I’m serious.) I emailed the contact person and was invited out.
So a couple weeks ago I attended open tryouts. It felt good to be at practice and part of a team again. I didn’t know how much I missed that. Most of the women there were past players. They instantly welcomed us knew comers into the pack and I left feeling pretty good about myself.
Back to now…
I have cleats, workout clothes, and gloves. Now all I have to do is get into shape. And get frequent driver miles to Kansas City.
