So softball is officially over. We had a double-header this past Friday at Avalon on Catalina Island. I can honestly say that I am going to miss softball. Ignoring the broken nose and severely bruised chin, I think I really stepped up to the plate with this one (pardon the pun). Despite the bi-polar pitcher, the girl that cried everytime she got out, and the irritating and badly sung chants, it was a memorable experience that I am not sure could ever be repeated. I cried a little tear of pride when the ump yelled "Infield fly rule," during our last game of the season and I actually knew what he meant. Who would've ever guessed. Not me.
But now those days are over, and it's time to concentrate on getting my bank account back above $0, and getting my ass down to a respectable size. I thought that running around playing various infield and outfield positions might have helped me take off a few pounds, but the drinks to celebrate our losses far outweighed the work-out.
So now I have a million things that I have been meaning to do, that I might actually be able to accomplish with the extra time. Topping the list is:
- Go to Target to spend my gift certificate from Marie
- Go to the fabric store to buy needles and finish the purse I was making
- Make wall art for the stairwell
- Go to Trader Joe's to (1) Get food, and (2) Use my gift certificates to save money
- Get back into silk-screening
- Burn more CDs for friends
- Tutor more for $$
- Watch my Netflix
- Begin walking with my gay neighbor
- Work out afterschool
Whatever I do in my newfound free time, getting rid of my farmer's tan is high on the list. As well as finding new reasons to drink with Marie and the neighbors during the week.
But I'm giving up beer. It's definitely not on my new diet.
