Lazy Winter??

so it's time for the seasons to change and for our clocks to fall back. i love these days. i love the extra hour of sleep and the cold mornings under my down comforter. i love sitting on the couch by the fire with a good book and a Dr. Pepper! :) this winter season is going to full of exciting things for Bart and I. im so ready to take it all on! after being on a year long "time off" i've realized that taking time off is a good thing but when you're heart is to serve and lead, you want nothing more than to get back to work!! although there will be so many nights of being lazy and relaxing by the fire with Bart, this will be one of the busiest winters we've had in a few years. im ready for it all! until next time..

BENCH WARMER

so last week i was so excited and pumped about our two games that were coming up on Saturday. i thought about the games all day and then practically dreamed about them at night. i just had a feeling they were gonna be some of my best games ever! the first game started and we were the visiting team so we were up to bat first. i was third at bat. standing in the on deck circle i was swinging away as i pondered the ball making that perfect connection to the bat hitting that sweet spot that will make you want to cry tears of joy. finally it was my time to shine. i stepped into the batters box as i took my sweet time making sure i was completely ready for the 1st pitch that i was gonna crush! i looked straight at the pitcher and with a little fear in her eye she finally released the pitch. i swung the bat like it was my last swing ever and never even looked at where the ball was sailing off too as i started my race to 1st base. i knew i hit the ball hard and far enough to make it to 1st so i ran with no worries until suddenly it was all down hill. i felt a pain that is like no other in my right leg just below my calve muscle. it was as if my ankle had seperated from my leg and i could'nt take another step. how could this happen again? it was the same injury i suffered over the summer but a different leg. i was so bummed. the pain was unbareable but to have to miss out on 2 games that night was just unimaginable! i was suddenly a benchwarmer. i'll be out another week but thankfully this weekends games are postponed because of Halloween so i won't have to sit the bench any more. until next time...

MUSTACHE LADY?

ok ok i know you guys are all gonna think i'm an un-sensitive horrible person for blogging about this but i just gotta! so im sitting here at work doing my usual duties (checking e-mails, reading the news and of course checking out USMAGAZINE.COM to see the latest celebrity gossip) and through the door walks in a man to get his vehicle smogged. at first i paid no attention to the details of this person until i began asking questions about his name, address, phone # etc. once he said his name was Cathlene i realized he was not a he but a she. i kid you not, he/she had a thicker mustache than Dr. Phil. she made Bert Reynolds look like a 13 yr old boy who was trying to grow in that 1st strand of hair on his upper lip! He was a very nice lady and i hope he has a great day... (even though his/her vehicle failed smog.) oh well. until next time...

Facing Your Giants Kick Off...

so tonight was "kick off" night for the Facing Your Giants season at church. Every Sunday night will be Sunday Football night. everyone wears their favorite team jersey and we have music then a different speaker will speak every Sunday night for the next couple months. tonight was cool. im looking forward to hearing all the other speakers! until next time...

Saturday Morning Breakfast...

i love lazy Saturday mornings. this morning me and Bart rolled out of bed and decided to go out to breakfast. neither of us wanted to take showers and i didnt want to put make-up on or anything. we threw on some mis-matched clothes and i put on a hat and off we went. we drove way out of our way to this little greasy, dirty restaurant. we could hardly read the menu because they were so dirty. pretty gross i know! believe me though, the way me and Bart looked, we fit right in! we sat and made fun of the place and all the weirdo's that were there. this one guy sitting a couple booths down had a severe cough that made my pancakes stand up! i must say though, me and bart had lots of fun together and honestly, the food was delicious!! thank you to all the greasy, dirty restaurants who are still standing strong! until next time...

WE WON! so i probably would'nt be posting this if we had lost last night. i try not talk about the games we lose cause for 1 im embarassed and 2 i hate losing and want to forget the whole game even happened! so, again WE WON! last night was fun. our tuesday night city team is sponsored by Dobbs Realty (THANKS RAYMOND DOBBS). we have a lot of fun playing and we have a pretty good team i think. most of us have big mouths and get mad when we're losing but in the end we all love each other and wouldnt have it any other way. 2 weeks from now i'll be playing on saturday nights with my church. im excited about that too... i just love sports!! until next time...
