A Day In The Life Of....

A conversation I was having with Scott the other night while cooking outside on the grill:

M: (said to Scott while he was texting his friend) You sure are a popular guy tonight
S: Yeah, I'm kind of a big deal (straight faced)
Later on that night..
M:Good grief, chatty Cathy, what could you possibly be talking about still?
S: Man stuff, you just wouldn't understand.

To most, this stuff is not as amusing to you as it is to me. Scott is so serious; he's all business, all the time. But once in a while I can catch him in a mild hyper stuper. This is just a sample of the funny crap he comes up with. I'll have to remember and write some of it down.

Baseball Lovin'

So I've never 'loooved' America's favorite past time, but I've never hated it either. This last week, Scott got an offer to play on 3 of his buddy's softball teams, and he took it. When he was younger, the kid LOVED baseball, so he was super pumped to play (and drink (ha ha)) with his friends. He had a little 'warm-up' game Thursday with his friend Mike, but the real fun start Sat & Sun. This weekend was tourneys and they had two games to play Saturday, well, they lost both.. One was an all out slaughter and the other was pretty close :] As I sat watching Scott play, I couldn't help but think how this is the life! I couldn't come up with any thing more I wanted, it was right in front of me.. Scott, reduced sodium sunflower seeds, our easy up, the sound of bats cracking. It was so much fun. Even though he lost, Scott loved every minute of it. The conciliation game was at 9am Sunday morning, and when Scott got up, his right leg was all but dead. But, since he is a mans man, he played through it. Poor guys lost AGAIN! As we were packing up another team was a man down and asked Scott to play, so he did it! It meant a lot to Scott as we started walking to the other field, the whole team packed up their stuff and brought it to the field Scott was playing at to watch him. Scott has such good friends, really! Most yelled louder than I did for him (and we all know how loud I am, ha ha). Even though none of the teams Scott played for won (the last game they lost by 1 point, if they would have had last 'at bat' they would have won) he had such a good time. So much in fact, he wants to start up a team next year and play! Ha ha. So if anyone wants to play, you let us know and we'll sign ya up. Hopefully we having a winning year next go around! Scott was hurtin' big time later Sunday and still today, to the point we decided he has pulled a quad muscle! So we've been icing that up and wrapping it. Hopefully he'll have a speedy recovery :]

Here's a few photos from the games:

On a side note

Oh yes, I forgot... Remember my ranting about not being able to change my friggin' layout from these stupid, pre-made ones...? Well, I still CANT! There is no little tab thingy that says layout, it is completely GONE. Serious. I need some serious computer instruction, pronto :]

Vacation

You know when you get to "that" point when you NEED a vacation? I am so there. Working 2 jobs and stressing about school starting in a month, Scott and his never ending work routine, not to mention the daily stress life so kindly and considerately brings... The crap never ends, it never goes away. We've been talking about going to Cody, Wy to see the Buffalo Bill museum there and the first weekend in Aug they are having a massive hot air balloon festival.I think, if only for a moment, at that sight all my stresses could disapear.. If only for a moment.
