Softball Season

Well, after a long season, Alicia's soccer is coming to an end with her last game of the year on the 4th. I always love the end of soccer season, though I love watching her games. I just find it a relief not to have such a rigid schedule for a while.

The end of soccer is always an indication that my softball season is just around the corner. Being on a ball team is so much fun. There's always excitement, adventure, and the unexpected. Like once I was playing catcher and as the hitter swung the bat, the ball bounced off it funny and flew into my eyebrow. It split it open a bit, so I had to go to emergency for a few stitches. After getting sewn up, I rounded the corner toward the field, to see my team mates cheering for me. "How many stitches," one team mate yelled as we pulled into the lot. When I told them I had seven stitches, one of my friends on the team burst out with, "I won the stitches pool!!!" So while I was under needle and thread, they were placing bets on how many stitches I would get. Touching, huh? I know I'm warm and fuzzy.

Then one time, we were all sitting around after a game, having a couple of beers. The kids were playing, my buddy's dog was frolicking around, and our laughter filled the air. I was sitting on a lawn chair, when suddenly my left thigh got really warm...and wet. I look down, and Chomper the dog, is actually lifting his leg, peeing on me! Obviously I couldn't stick around since the warmth I had originally felt was quickly turning into cold, wet, and itchy.
I found out later that after I had left my friend Dan goes, "where's Sharon? I have to take a leak."
Isn't that precious?

BAD BLOGGER!!!

I know I've been a bad blogger lately. I've been going on "plenty of fish" and chatting with a couple of cuties, so when I'm on the computer, and would otherwise be posting, I'm really on a man hunt. I also put a profile up on E harmony, which is not a free one, and it's not as good. So anyone who is lookin for love should check out plentyoffish.com. It's like a smorgasbord! Actually it's like a second hand store. Everything is used, some stuff is a little stale, but if you look, you'll find the treasures...or they'll find you. It's kind of a fun, non-threatening way to get back in the game. I'll be sure to keep you "posted" if I decide to go for coffee with someone. Curtis suggested I look for a hillbilly, but I couldn't find the hillbilly section on the website. Man seeking woman...woman seeking man...man seeking man...woman seeking woman...nope, no hillbilly section. Darn.

Love Day

Well tomorrow's Valentines Day and what could be more romantic than this picture I found on the net? Nothin' says lovin' like a gesture like this. I got twenty bucks that says there's a woman somewhere sweeping up a heart shaped patch of hair from her bathroom floor. Oooh, baby...

I've been a little stuck for topics to post about these days. It would help if I was bitter about being "alone" on Valentines day, so I could bitch and moan about it, but frankly, I'm not alone. My life is full of love. I will be popping out to buy my beautiful little girl some chocolaty goodies at some point today, as I do every year. She's the most consistent valentine I've ever had. For the last 16 years she's been the love of my life. She doesn't make me cards out of red construction paper and doilies anymore, but I can overlook that. You see? I'm not that picky.

Some women think that it should be every body's life goal to find a man, and that you can't be happy without one. I think it would be awesome to find a guy that I will still be excited about after a couple of years. But I'm not gonna commit myself to someone just for the sake of partnering up! That's how you end up sweeping hairy heart patches off your bathroom floor!

There are these two elderly twin sisters who hang around our mall quite a bit. They sit and have coffee at "the second cup" and wander around the mall. I think they live together and they seem inseparable. They wear identical winter coats, only one is red, and one is blue, and both have long grey hair. My Mom actually said the other day, "I don't want you and your sister to turn into the mall twins!" I had to laugh, because we've joked ourselves about sitting on the porch swing together as old ladies.

Well hopefully someday, I will find a man who I can laugh with, and snuggle on the couch with at night. Maybe I'll try an on line dating service, or some singles events. Maybe I'll run into that cute guy at the dog park as the weather gets warmer. But until I find the man that is a good fit for me, I'm just gonna be happy with the blessings that I've got. And that's a lot.

Hi Strangers!!!

Hey everyone! I don't know why I've been so busy lately, but I just haven't had time to sit and post. It's nice to be missed, though. Not only have I not posted, but I haven't read any of my favorite blogs lately. I'm really gonna have to get my poop together. I feel out of the loop:)

This morning I played squash as I've done twice a week for at least a year now. It doesn't really matter who won, though (me) because it's all about the excersise and fun. There's no point obsessing over who wins (me.)

My sis is off of work this week so she, my mom, and I are all going to go bowling this afternoon. Obviously this will be a very friendly game without focus on who will win (me) and who will lose (not me!)

Then later, I've got a couple of clients to do, so by then I should be good and tired. Now I have to go hop in the shower. It's pretty sweaty work winning...I mean playing squash.
