I made it though the week

Well not that i didn't think i would, but it feels good to have Friday be here.
Since i know you all are wondering about the game last night, I wont make you wonder any longer.
We had a great group, we played hard and we won the game. I didn't get to pitch, but i will be pitching the next game.. so i got to practice up. Good think i didn't toss my pitching chair (that i broke last week pitching balls into the seat) away. I will need it this week.
So my first up at bat i stuck out, but the next three times i went up i got a hit each time, and the last time i actually caused a run batted in. Check my stats soar. I know you are envious.
I was told that this was on nemesis, and we beat them something like 12 to 7. I think we have a good team and a good chance at making the finals. we will see. This was only game one of eight.

So, Easter is right around the corner. Not really a huge holiday in our house, but i think that' s because we don't have kids. I usually get some jellybeans that my boyfriend likes and hide them in some eggs that he will find over the course of the day around the house. no gifts being exchanged, though. My birthday is coming up, so i will wait for that.

I plan to do a bunch of sewing this weekend. Tonight we are going to see the lead singer from System of a Down. he has a solo album out and I will let you know what i think. It is free for me, so i am not complaining. AND i feel like i need a night out.. Been at home a lot lately. I am not complaining, but sometimes you need to get out.

Well, that's the update on my life.

Today is Fragrance Day and Flower Day, always the first full day of spring.

Today is National Memory Day. (I always forget this)

Today is Human Rights Day in South Africa. (again, another holiday celebrating something that is obsolete)
