I didn’t sleep well last night. My neighbor and I stood in the front yard at dusk and watched at least a dozen bats emerge from a part of the roof that connects our two homes. We’re going to make her roommate go up on a ladder tonight and plug that hole, you know, right [...]

You can’t stay mad at someone who creates so much fodder for your blog.
Some awesome kickball friends showed up at my get-together on Saturday night (You know, the one with so much extra alcohol we thought Jesus has showed up.) Birmingham was planning on coming as soon as he finished tiling his mother’s bathroom floor. (While she was at church, repenting for getting me drunk.) Around 6:00 he [...]

Put me in coach, I’m ready to play
I played second base in our kickball game last night. It’s a particularly scary place for me to be, because there’s a good chance that nothing will happen in the second base region for three straight innings, until, when least expected: fly ball right to second! Amazingly, I caught that fly ball last night, and [...]

I just need to write this down somewhere…
This past weekend was fantastic.Friday night was all about spending quality time in the cottage with the cat. I pulled out the vacuum to do some cleaning, but the cat looked so serene, I decided to put it off until she stopped looking cute, and we settled in to watch DVD’s. Saturday, I went to [...]

My Inner Monologue While Doing the Weight Circuit at Planet Fitness "No Judgements" Last Night:
…I am going to lift so many weights tonight that you’ll see the difference by morning… I’m glad the 30 minute weight circuit room is empty, that way I’ll be able to do MORE REPS on each machine!… Come to think of it, I don’t really like this overhead press machine, it makes my elbow [...]

Just my type
It’s Friday, and I’m tired, and I have random bruises all over my shins from last night’s kickball game, even though 5 innings + 18 players on the team = only one “at bat” for me. The bruises must be from the pre-game practice where I put all my energy into getting that damn rubber [...]

When the working day is done, girls just wanna have fun
Team Underpants scored an amazing victory over Luck of the Irish in last night’s kickball game. It’s a lot more fun to win these games, and I had a great time last night. Because I’m running a 5K race tomorrow morning with my training-for-a-marathon friend, I tried not to push myself too hard during the [...]

Funny Kickball Team Names
After a winter of spending Thursday nights exercising our brains at Trivia Night, my friends and I returned to the great outdoors last night for the opening game of kickball. I’ve been swimming a lot in the past few months, and running, lifting weights, and doing yoga. I’m starting to see that I look a [...]

An ode to the 21st Amendments
Last night we played the championship games of the WAKA New Deal Kickball League, officially ending the Fall Season. My team won in the first round but was then defeated by the team that never stays to party afterwards and takes the whole playing kickball thing way to seriously. Nonetheless, we gave them a run [...]

And Here I Go Again On My Own
Last night I went to another costume party, this one thrown by the kickball league to celebrate the end of the season. In a flash of either genius or laziness I decided to go as “The Ghost of Halloween Past” a costume that was basically Halloween decorations bought after October 31 draped over my un-returnable [...]
