nice 70 degree day @ the ballpark!


Hard to believe it was 40 degrees and drizzly last week. Drews team is playing Willamette, and I jokingly told my sister that I would sit on the Willamette side....lol.

Drew's team got a little crushed by Willamette this game (something like 12-0), but it was alot of fun going to the game, and getting out in the sun. So we went out the next day to his game against South Eugene, and they absolutely crushed them. I was sure there was some sort of mercy rule, but they didn't stop the game. Drew's team just kept scoring runs, they looked like a different team than played the day before. They were stealing bases, crushing hits into the outfield, and catching the ball when it was hit/thrown to them. One kid even got a home run, it didn't go over the fence, but it went far enough passed the kid in the outfield that the runner was at home before the ball got back to the infield. It was a really fun day, and great for Drew's team after the game on Saturday.

I also hung out with Sabrina and the kids more Saturday. Drew, Mike and I went over to the park near their house and played some basketball. I wanted to work with Mike on some passing and shooting since he's playing YMCA ball right now, and I think it helped, he played better in his game that afternoon! Then we played some more Rock Band on the XBOX 360, a couple of Mike's friends came over too, and we rocked for a little while. I was pretty tuckered out by the end of the day....lol.

Almost done with another week..

Well, its Thursday night, and I've nearly survived another week at work. This is a great accomplishment considering that I've spent the whole week on our most complicated machine, the collator (its funny, its made by a company called Borg, so I call it the borg, and tell the paper 'its been collated'. Lame I know, but makes me giggle sometimes).

I did my taxes yesterday, and unbelievably, I actually owe in state taxes. I'm getting a large return from the feds, but I owe 23 dollars to state. Bastards.

I did something fun today, I rode my bike to work! Its about 4 miles each way, and this morning it was a bit drizzly, but the evening ride was beautiful! It was sunny and probably in the 50's.

I got a neat visit on Tuesday too, my friend Susana was in town. We went over to The Wandering Goat coffee shop and chatted for a little while. She seems to be doing well. She graduated from Southern Oregon with a degree in Education (I think) in June, and is trying to get into a masters program. She's also engaged, and has been for a while now. She seems pretty happy about it all, and thats great. It was really good to see her!

Well, we'll see if I survive Friday!

Bye!
