“Invitation-only kickball spring training for those in need of training”

Most everyone who is reading this blog knows that I play on a kickball team.  Everyone also knows that we’ve won the championship 3 years in a row (since the inception of the entire league, might I add J). Well… I think the pressure may be getting to me. Seriously. The league starts every April, and it’s only October, but for some reason I’m dreaming about kickball.  Not just kickball, but kickball spring training.  Not just kickball spring training, but, “invitation-only kickball spring training for those in need of training”.  Seriously – that was the name. And darn it, if I wasn’t on that stupid list.  I’ll pause here for a moment, since I know that our kickball coach reads my blog (he’s going to be so proud… and hopefully dismiss me from the “invitation-only kickball spring training for those in need of training”). It’s funny the people that I dreamed about in this training boot-camp.  Everyone there seemed like they didn’t need to go.  I mean, without naming names, there are DEFINITELY people in the real-life league that don’t just need to go to the “invitation-only kickball spring training for those in need of training”, but also need to go to the “get-it-together-and-learn-how-to-be-coordinated-after-thirty-or-so-years-on-this-Earth-training”, but no… none of those people were there.  Weird.

It’s taken me awhile to figure out this dream.  I mean, there are the obvious answers… (a) I’m super competitive, so of course I would dream about spring training so our team can win a 4-peat. (b) I see our kickball coach all the time. But, I wasn’t satisfied with just those answers. Nope, I just let it sit for a week, so I could figure out the true meaning. Thankfully, I saw an email in my inbox from my best friend sent from a few days ago, and that jump-started my subconscious memory.  We email a lot, but last week, she sent me an email to let me know that our favorite movie was coming out with a sequel.  (YAY!)  That favorite movie, of course, is Zoolander.  For those of you who can’t quote every line in the movie with the same enthusiasm as my best friend and me (in which in case, I’m questioning your judgment and will never ask you to pick the movie on movie night), there is a line that is repeated several times throughout.  For those of you who haven’t figured out the link yet, I’ll go ahead and give it to you… drumroll…  “The Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can’t Read Good and Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too”.  Seriously.  Hello!? Look at my title. Now look at the movie quote.  There HAS to be a connection.  No one would dream about a camp called “invitation-only kickball spring training for those in need of training” if they weren’t subconsciously dreaming about the release of Zoolander 2.  Yay – I can’t wait!
