Whew, I am old!

Well, it is official...I feel like crap. Clint and I decided to start on a softball team to help with a little girl named Sophie that has a brain tumor. She needs $70,000 for an experimental treatment, and no, I know the little girls family, so this isn't one of those "chain letter" things that you get where you forward or send a card and someone donates money. Anyway, in a mist of all the talk of starting a team, we decided to play on a church league...called Spur on Ministries. Now, they don't like to be considered a "cowboy" church, but why call yourself Spur on then? Anyway, that isn't the church we go to but that is another opinion Clint and I don't agree on. But until our church gets a team together we will play for them. Saturday and Sunday, Clint, Jagger and my self spent the greater part of the day in the pool because we found some water proof cards and decided to play cards in the pool. This quickly progressed into underwater cards. We would throw the cards at the bottom of the pool and you had 30 seconds to find your best five cards and played poker that way. Then we would throw all the cards to the bottom of the pool and you had to find all the cards (solitaire style) in order the fastest. That was hard and tiring. Now, I know why mom was so uncool and didn't let me go swimming on game days! We had our first softball practice last night at 6:30....and I was about dead. I layed in the outfield on my fat butt at just watched towards the end. My gosh, my arm and butt are so sore. But, I must say after 8+ years of not pitching....I still somewhat have my ability to sling one underhanded. This is the longest way to say, I am tired. Wore smooth out!



So, I have made some gifts for people that where having babies and such. I posted a few pics on my myspace and now, I am overwhelmed with people wanting to order stuff. This is great! But, I am a little worried what will happen when school gets into full swing again. I may be biting off more than I can chew. I love to decorate and create things and love love love giving hand made things for gifts. I know I don't charge for what time I have in them because I just love to do it so much. Maybe that is why they keep coming back. I may have to go up on my prices but right now I am just enjoying the time to myself making things.

Welp, since most of you don't have a myspace.

I have decided to start a blog! It doesn't take me much to decide to air my clean or dirty laundry so this should be interesting. Most of my family doesn't have a myspace so I thought if we all got together and did this, it would be a very easy way to tell what is going on from day to day, week to week or month to month. You get the idea. Even if you don't have time, you can check it whenever you think about it.

Since school is out, I don't have much to report. Although, because I become so busy with school, once it does start, I might have less to report but I will try anything twice. This summer is going on with a bang. We have Jagger for our two weeks right now and man alive has it been hot! Since we decided to get a pool we have spend a majority of our time in it playing cards. I know, I found some water proof cards. We had intentions of planting some pumpkins and fall water melons since we didn't plant a summer garden and my father in law was unable to keep me in my daily supply of melons. But, we jacked around too long to get the place tilled for the pumpkins. I have plenty for my fall decorations but none to sell/share. Last year we threw some over old ones the fence and they are growing back this year. Oh gosh, could this get any more boring? This is what I have to captivate you with for my first blog?
