I don't know what it means to be tagged but I guess I have to answer some questions in order for you to learn more about me. (Is that right?) I'm going with it so here it is...
Four places I go over and over:
Syracuse University
Hank's House
The depths of Nik's mind (Very scary there!)
Barnes and Noble
Four people who e mail me regularly:
Zan
Dad (All forwards!)
Hunter
Mom (Even though we live in the same house...go figure)
Four places I would rather be right now:
Sleeping
Done with college
Anywhere with KC
On a post card type beach
Four TV shows I watch over and over:
Law and Order SVU
NCIS
Jeopardy
I Love Lucy
Four things I have for breakfast:
Dunkin Donut's Iced Late'
Mountain Dew
Cliff Bar
Nothing
Four animals I like best:
Puppies
Kittens
White tigers
Gorillas
Four beaches I have been to:
Ocean City, Md.
Seaside Heights, NJ
Madera Beach, Fl.
Santa Monica Beach, Cal.
I don't know 4 people to tag so I can't keep it going but I finally did one of these. (Did I do it right?)

Softball Wrap-up... sort of
For those of you who are curious about the whole softball thing, the season is finally over. I think I am a good fan. As I have stated before, only the Syracuse mail carriers have anything on me as far as the elements. I don't think anyone yells louder than I do. (Much to KC's chagrin.) I wear the appropriate colors for the appropriate team. I also pride myself on cheering for all of the girls, not just KC. That is my story and I am sticking to it. (For those of you who know her, KC will tell a different story... she is young, don't believe her. My version is the correct one.)
Fall ball will be starting soon. Syracuse really doesn't have a fall. We have summer and winter. (OK we have nice foliage somewhere in the middle) We also have a 50/50 shot of playing in both of those seasons. (I am presently looking for my winter jacket and gloves.)
KC tried out for 2 tournament teams for next year. (If she doesn't make them she will play for the same JD team.) She is excited about them but we haven't heard anything from either team yet. They are supposed to call either way but nothing yet.
Since I am the non-sequiter queen, I will skip to letting you know that all of the sudden my Facebook account has taken off and I now have a run of people trying to "friend" me! I feel pretty good about this. I know it probably says something really not so hot about me that I am happy about "friending" but there is something about that little message saying "XXX wants to be your friend!" It isn't that I don't have real friends, I do, but seeing that little message in my in-box makes me smile. The other thing that makes me smile is that many of the people "friending" me are over 30! I felt like the kid whose siblings tell them they are adopted. I felt like the only person over 40 on all of Facebook. (I know Facebook has millions of people in tons of countries but I swear I was the only middle aged person there for a while!)
KC starts school Thursday. My baby will ride a bus for the first time ever and will be starting school in a different district. I am not worried because KC is probably the most social person I know and can make friends anywhere, and in about 2 minutes flat. She already knows what she is going to wear to the first day of school and where and what time the bus comes. She knows she is going to buy her lunch, NOT bring it and she has all of her school supplies. All and all, KC is way more prepared to start 7th grade than I am for her to start 7th grade!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Restarting
OK, I know it has been a really long time since I wrote but I thought no one was reading. I have since found out that I do have at least one or two readers, (thanks Kjae and Marley), so I will try to write more! Although I have a lot to say, I wanted to start this out with some incredibly useless information/observations from life on the hill. For those of you who aren't from here, that would be Syracuse University.
* Uggs do NOT look good in the winter time with long coats and jeans...they look even worse with mini shorts and tank tops
* People who weigh as much as I do and are shorter than I am should NOT wear tight mini shorts and tight tank tops even if they are young enough to be mine
* When you cut parts of your clothing away so people can see your new tattoos, it is NOT cool
* If every other word that comes out of your mouth is "like", you probably don't know what you are talking about
* Just because I look like I should be a professor doesn't mean I am and NO, I don't know where everything on campus is so pick someone your own age to ask!
* Campus tours suck! I realized that I am not even close to the age of the touring prospective students but I AM the same age as their parents. (Shit.)
* College really is about more than getting plowed every night and everyone doesn't want to hear about you how many times you threw up

More Softball Time
You are looking,,, (well sort of looking) at the mother of one of the District 8 little league, All Star tournament champions! Said champion also made several outs and hit several singles, a double, and a triple! She was also in the local paper but I wouldn't want to brag. BULLSHIT, I want to brag from the rafters and tell everyone in the world. I am so proud!!!
The tournaments continue to be something like... winning 1 or 2 games, getting rained out of the team that we would certainly have crushed, and losing in the first round of single elimination play. We are holding our own though and we will get there. The next tournament is here in North Syracuse and we are hopeful.
Karen ordered a collage from the professional photographers at the last local tournament, after they had been rained on. I am not sure if it is legal for me to post it but I am going to anyway!
