IM IN UR OCEAN. EATIN UR CARDZ.

Mass Update

The new Gavin DeGraw CD is really good. My favorite tracks are “In Love With a Girl,” “Next to Me,” “Medicate the Kids” and “Relative,” in order of track number, not favoritism.

Softball has officially started. If you haven’t already, checkout the new Killer Beez website. There’s a bunch of fun stuff, like a forum, stats, player bios, game schedule and field maps (I ♥ Google).

Speaking of ♥ing Google, everyone should use the Google Reader. It’s got a fun little share feature that you can share specific feeds with your friends. And just when I was thinking, “I sure wish I could add a note to my shared items,” voila!! Notes were available. I don’t even know why I’m preaching this. C of cklahr already uses it, BRK doesn’t want to be bothered with it, Renee doesn’t know what RSS means, and Nick is just hopeless. That’s why I added the Cool Feeds For You section to my sidebar on the right. ====> My top 5 shared items will appear there, and you don’t need to use Google Reader to access them. The Read More link at the bottom will bring you to my shared page where you will find everything I think is worth sharing, complete with notes!! And if you do decide to use an RSS reader, please don’t use the on in IE. Darn conformists.

My feet suck. I was having some pain in the big toe joint of my right foot. I went to the doctor and I was misdiagnosed with gout. I went to see a podiatrist when I ran out of drugs and the pain came back. Apparently, my big toe bones are too long in relativity to the rest of the bones causing the joint to be jammed against the ball of my foot. And my extremely flat fallen arches are only adding to the problem. Since it was my second time to the podiatrist, and the second time he recommended custom orthotics (arch supports), I figured I had better bite the bullet and pay the $380 that my insurance company won’t cover before the next problem occurs. So far I love them. I’ve only had them for a week, but they are completely worth the money. They have wicked arch support. A thousand times better than any OTC inserts I’ve ever seen. My only wish is that I had multiple pairs so I didn’t have to swap them between my workout shoes and my fashionable tennis shoes. I’m also seeing a physical therapist to make my feet all better. My feet should heal up just fine, with a combo of orthotics, toe wiggling, stretches and time.

I’m glad the nice weather is finally here. This weekend I’m throwing a b-day party for my sis Lani, next weekend I’m doing a Crawl for Cancer with some friends, the weekend after that one of our friends is having a poker/b-day party and hopefully after that we will be at some lake every weekend. Diving, boating, reading or just basking in the sunlight. Woo-hoo, I ♥ summer!!

This is why I’m cold

This Minnesota weather is really starting to toy with my emotions. It’s nice, then it’s cold, nice, cold, nice, then there’s a snow storm, then it’s 60, 60, 70, 60, it rains, I paint my toe nails, then it’s 35 and snowing. Not exactly the weather I was hoping for when I intended to bust out my sandals today.

I’m just itching for it to be nice. I want cabin weather to be here. I want to wear sandals and skirts. I want to start diving again. Speaking of which, the cklahr duo is somewhere underwater as I blog this. Looking at fishies and corals and what not. *sigh*

Unfortunately Nick can’t relate to the way I feel because the weather is always the same in the room he’s been locked in playing WOW for the last 4 weeks.

Anyway, a lot has happened since I last posted. Nick and I went bowling with Adam, Laura, Smitty (who finally got an email address) and The Deebz. I upgraded to WordPress 2.5, which rocks. I made an all new Killer Beez website which I’ll be doing all my softball posts on. I’ve disabled my jillapaPhorum forum since the only thing on there was Beez posts and put up a forum (with the help of Curtis) on the Killer Beez site in lieu of. And that is just about it.

UPDATE: Just when I thought I’d never see another Sven & Ole’s bumper sticker, I spotted one on Friday on the back of a 1980s Plymouth Voyager, blue with wooden panel siding, heading south on 169.

Game 10

On Monday night the Beez played against the Raiders. The first inning was off to a shaky start with the Raiders scoring 6 and the Beez 0. We managed to pull it together though, ending halfway through the sixth inning. Final score 25-14. Matt from Wednesday night’s Magic Men played with us again. And Big 6 with his one big calf did some stellar hobbling to first. Although it didn’t rain during the games it did rain that morning, classifying it as a rainy Monday!!

Super-Fans of the night included Sarah, Kristy, Jaeda and of course myself.

Games 8 & 9

Wow, last night was painful. The Beez were not on their game. I think it’s because it poured before hand and everyone thought the games would be canceled, so they weren’t mentally prepared to play. We lost the first game against Majors, 10-17 I believe, I’d have to double check. The second game against Bob’s Scrappers was close. A little too close. 16-3, I have to double check again though, I was too depressed over the events that went down to retain the scores. I was happy to see that the right fielder on the Scrappers caught a ball.

Super-Fans of the night included Sarah, Michelle and Ella, Jeremy’s sister Sarah (?) and of course myself.

Game 7

The Beez lost the game against Evergreen Community Church last night. Final score 15-19. There were a lot of dumb errors made that gave ECC runs, but they also made a lot of errors, getting us on first base a lot. A lot. Lots of errors by both teams. Painful to watch.

There’s a new Killer Bee in town. Ryan seemed like a solid hitter during the 2 innings that he played. Hopefully he will be a good edition to the team… and Jake can give him better directions to the field next time.

So now we’re up to 11 Beez. Wait, nope, Adam quit bringing us back to 10. With Adam and Chay out that means Jake will be pitching meaties for the rest of the season. Don’t do it Adam. Don’t do it… don’t do it…
