Random Musings

and I admit it.  Since turning 3o, I’ve been really trying to ‘keep’ my youth.  Has it worked?  Well, not really.  I guess I don’t look 30, at least that’s what I hear; but I swear that my body is telling me that I’ve reached the point of no return.

We had our first softball game yesterday (WE WON!) and I didn’t run any further than 1st base, and I’m the pitcher, so it’s not like I get a ton of action on the infield….but damn.  My body is protesting today!  My thighs are killing me.  So, I’m determined to get into shape again.  This means running and biking…and lunges to help with the pitching.  I have to admit, I still have it!  I only walked ONE batter the entire game!  Exciting!

Yup.  I did it.  I officially registered for my classes this fall.  I managed to get one class here in town,  one class online, and 4 (YES 4!) classes that I’m going to have to drive down to Green Bay for.  Wednesdays and Fridays are going to be my super long days  down in Green Bay.  On Wednesdays I’m going to be in class from 12:30 to 9:30 PM and on Fridays from 10:30 AM to 8:30 PM.  I can honestly say that I am NOT looking forward to these long days, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.  YAY me!

and it’s Mother’s Day!  That means a day all about mom, right?  Well, what if you ARE a mom, and you have a MOM?    That means the day is not all about YOU.  Hmmm.  It is, but it isn’t.    I want this to be my day.  I just want to lay around and do nada until I get to play softball this evening; but I can’t.  My mom and dad were kind enough to go out of town for the weekend, so I merely just have to text her a thought of appreciation, rather than drive out to her house and give her a card and gift.  Dont’ get me wrong, I will get out there, and I do appreciate and love her to death…it just wont’ be today.  But, we do have to go to the Mother In Law’s house, which happens to be right across the street.  (Maaaaaaaureeeeeen?)  We’ll sit there, the kids will destroy the house, MIL will bitch about SIL and make a list of things for Husband to do, and then we’ll be there all day, or at least until I leave for softball.

I just want today to be mine.  To do nothing.  Absolutely nothing.  Because to me nothing is perfect.

And just because……here’s a picture of my Mothers Day gift!  (this is AFTER I just put 2 coats of primer on the old door not 2 days ago).    The sign on the door is because I told the Husband that all I wanted for Mother’s Day was my ack hallway finished.  Sigh.  At least I got a new door, I guess!

I’ve done it all. Myspace, message boards, Facebook, Twitter, Blip, blogging; and now I”m entering the next step: Web design. I’ve dabbled, a very little bit. My friend at Mojo Writing designed GotTwinz and I upkeep it. I only have to call on her when I really F something up…which happens more than I’d like. I’ve taken to helping with the Dome Lanes website, and I’m currently working on Xtreme Body FX’s site and Big Bear Custom Graphic’s site.
On top of this, I’m attending college starting the end of August for Graphic Arts. So, considering all of this, I’m currently teaching myself Photoshop. I worked on a logo for this ‘ere blog for about half an hour before I became frustrated and decided just to blog about it

Well, that’s about it.

Peace.

The economy has hit the bar business. I was cut down to 3, possibly 4 days a week at my job for the summer…this was all fine and dandy until today. My husband came home and informed me that he is laid off from his job. He’s not happy about this, nor am I. Granted, it came at a nice time of the year, but our finances are really going to well…not be good this summer. Luckily, I have a job interview this morning for a Buyer position (has college FINALLY paid off?), so we’ll see how that goes. Another bad thing about this…my fave band, Green Day, is on tour this year and they’re playing hotel stays away from me. I WILL find a way, despite our financial difficulties, to see them. We may live on Ramen and PBnJ this summer…but I’ll get there

Peace.

Yup, I said it. I’m playing softball this summer, and it almost didnt’ happen! It’s been years since I played recreational softball, and I honestly can’t wait for it to start!

A few months ago, a guy came up to me at work and asked if I wanted to play, I immediately said yes, and he almost immediately dropped the ball So, I took it upon myself to call up the Civic Center, only to learn that the recreational Co-Ed league was full up, but that we could pick up a roster and be put on the waiting list. I had a friend pick up the roster and we filled it out together, he then dropped it off…and subsequently learned that our team didn’t make the cut THEN *praise the blue chickens!* another team didn’t pay their sponsorship fee….and we were called and told that as long as we paid OUR sponsorship fee the very next morning, we would be in! So. We’re IN! And we’re having our team meeting and first practice this Sunday morning, and we have an actual game on Mothers Day! What a great way to spend Mothers Day evening! Playing a sport I absolutely adore!

Wish us luck!

Because I really need another forum or internet activity to take up my time, right? Buuuuuut, this one is all about Green Day! And those of you who know me, know about my love/obsession with Green Day. Green Day Breakdown is also giving away 3 copies of the new album, 21st Century Breakdown….which of course, I’m hoping to win
