I'm having a good week so far. Friday hopefully I will be able to go to Booneville and get an application for a job with a friend if he doesnt have a lame exscuse not to.

I havent played softball in ages, I quit playing when I was in sixth grade when the coach started getting nasty with me even though I was one of the better hitters on the team. Oh well.

Now my DD who is 3 has a little t-ball set with a glove and she likes hitting the most and she's a pretty dang good hitter for her size. The day before yesterday she whomped that ball across the yard before it hit the ground. Looks like I've been teaching her well and how to swing level and put power into it. I kind of sort of hope that by the end of the summer she hits the ball when I toss it to her so she'll get a feel for what it is like to hit in an actual game. She'll be 4 next summer so she will be old enough to join the little t-ball league. Right now alot of her friends play, but she has to wait until she is four and she's bummed out a bit.

Then on the same day that she whomped the ball across the yard so well, she wanted to throw the ball on the roof of the house and let it roll down like I was (I was goofing off a bit) and so I went to show her how she could do it granny style with her back facing the house. When I did, my sunglassed slid off my head just as I was coming back up and I ended up lobbing my sunglasses on the roof. My DD ran in the house and told mom I threw my glasses on the house and mom goes - "Oh she did not!" and my DD goes - "Yes she did! Come look!". Mom came out and started laughing at me looking like an idiot throwing the plastic balls on the house trying to knock the glasses off. Then she joined me and my DD was laughing at the both of us for looking like complete idiots playing a game called Kock-the-glasses-off. After 15 minutes I finally hit them after getting so close numerous times and they fell off. Slightly scratched but still usable. By the end of the night DD was wanting me to do it again, lol.

So thats what I've been up to. :afro:
 
Tomorrow, she's coming home! :D I cannot wait to get all over her, LOL.

I just finished making my official first ASL video now the damn you tube site wont work, lol. And I have no idea where the file was on my computer when I saved it, so I had to look it up in recent documents and I sent the file to My Documents and I hope it stays there until I can get it on you tube. Has anyone else had trouble with the you tube site today??

Funnel Cloud? Whoa! I think your'e a magnet for tornadoes given you were living in Morrilton at the time of last year's tornado that blew away my fave liquor store. At least they rebuilt it and it is NICE!! (but they've raised their prices :( )

Yesterday it was bright a sunny and swore I heard thunder and I thought I had lost my damn mind, then I looked on the radar and there was a big red blob not far from my house. That was definitely unusual. We had thundershowers here yesterday too. And oddly Maddie didnt flip out like she normally does, I think she may be getting over her fear of thunderstorms. :)
 
I feel tired but must go to work :| Have a good evening :)

I saw your UTube video..u look like u are an athlete. :)

Did u play fast pitch? I miss playing it since I play slow pitch. :(

My team will go to the NSAD tourney in Ohio this August. My best NSAD tourney was the one in New Orleans in 2002.
 
I played a little bit of both, depended on the available teams in my rural area and it varied from year to year, but I really enjoyed fast pitch.

I never really took to softball though if I really wanted to I probably could have focused solely on that and played college softball for Tech, but in my high school years I dabbled in basketball and track before finally settling in with cross country running and track. I was the do-it-all girl for the track team, 800m, 800m relay, mile, mile relay, 2 mile, 2 mile relay, discus, and pole vault. I would give anything to have my high school body back. But right now I am in the process of losing weight (my goal weight is somewhere between 110 and 120) and Ive been taking good fast paced walks on the mountain trail that actually takes me about a mile into National Park Service land. I hope that in the coming weeks I can improve enough to start running them again on a daily basis.
 
speaking of losing weights.. i gotta lose more as my back went out today working on my plants .. grrrr.. its painful.. i cant walk fast and sitting down is SO uncomfortable!!!! laying on my side in bathtub filled with water and jets going .. AHH feel comfy.. i wish i could live in bathtub forever.. lol..

i gotta go back to my ideal weights before I got pregnant with TJ and im gonna do it this time.. walking and excerise.. i have been eating healthy foods for long time.. so its no plm for me.. :) I hope and pray that i can do this time... so i can FEEL good about myself.. not for the looks. you know?? but to live longer for TJ and David.. :)
 
I do it for the feeling of feeling sexy! LOL! I need to dig out a high school pic of me that shows my full body so you can get an idea of what I mean.
 
I feel lousy today i went to dentist this morning as in an emergency! *sniffs* i got gums swollen in few places and my left side got swollen too -- wah wah. I found out i got abbcess again GROWLS....
 
Today I went for a 2 and a half mile walk around town with my DD in her stroller. I walked a blister off to the point that it started bleeding. It doesnt hurt, but it actually felt better after a while. Then we met my pastor at the park, he was there with his two younger girls hiking the trail I usually hike when I am by myself. If he likes the trail then I may have to get him to be my hiking mate. It really is a nice trail, I just wish my DD was a bit bigger and more of a hiker to go to the top. I can usually scramble to the top in 15 minutes. It is quite a chug, but the view at the top is well worth the effort. The view is generally better in the winter when the trees are bare and you can see the entire town below.

Tonight we have to go decorate the cemeteries then we have a barbecue at my Aunt's house afterward. So far it has been a good day. :)
