What a crazy week! I only worked about one and a half days this past week. I have tendinitis in my right shoulder and that has been very uncomfortable...
Don't worry I will be back in full swing (so to speak, minus the tendinitis) on Monday.

The VMA's Sucked eggs thru a straw
I haven't watched the VMA's in years - but back in the day they were awesome. This year was the 25th anniversary of the VMA's and there could have been so many different things they could have done to commemorate this anniversary - but they didn't.
They did make it a point to say that Brit hadn't won a VMA ever - and won she did last night, she won THREE TIMES - and I think it was rigged as like a publicity stunt or something. Per my Yoda, Pepsi sponsored the VMA's and Brit used to have a contract w/ them - coincidence, I think not.
Also, I was informed that the radio was saying that Brit wouldn't have shown up if she didn't know she was winning. I agree. Up until the last minute, we thought she was performing, hence watching the DAMN SHOW.
I was partially psyched to see Christina Aguliera and I think she was lip syncing and she did a Marilyn Manson-esque version of Genie in a Bottle. She looked good, but I wasn't impressed w/ her performance of a bubble gum song, SUPER BITCH -with cape and everything, like it was a super hero.
I was also disappointed that there was no mention of the passing of Leroi - I think The Dave Matthews Band has won a VMA here or there, so I found that quite rude.
I would ask for my money back on that show. PINK WAS THE BEST PART OF THE WHOLE NIGHT AND I CAN'T WAIT TIL HER ALBUM COMES OUT. She did have a slight wardrobe malfunction, but it was okay. SHE MADE THE WHOLE DAMN SHOW WORTH WHILE.
I am interested in hearing what anyone else has to say who watched it so PLEASE COMMENT!

I'm no spring chicken
I am definitely feeling older than my years. As Garth says, "I'm much to young to feel this damn old!" After moving (and still bringing boxes up and down stairs) and then three games *tonight will be the third* game in a row, my body hurts in places I didn't know possible.
I should be so proud of myself for playing awesomely the last two games. Last night I hit a double and made some great plays and ran like a mofo, but my knees and legs are taking a toll.
ONE MORE TO GO TONIGHT and another one Monday and then we have Playoffs and tournament...
I should get an award this year for driving from Bedford/Concord to Dover to play!

Finally! I made the write up
After 10 softball games and playing my best softball ever this year, I finally made the write up. I had been in one previously but lately I hadn't been included - LAST NIGHT CHANGED THAT:
Hey guys!!
It was history last night.. The Batta-Bings defeated Primetime, bringing our record back to .500 at 5-5. You never know.. we could end up with a better record than last season's 7-6..
Who was that Batta-Bing infield last night?!?! It was amazing!! Kevin is loving the hot corner at 3rd, and Jess was making great scoops and catches at 1st.. The ever solid tandem of Eric and Jason at SS was brilliant as usual.. But 'star-of-the-day' had to go to Ms. Katie Mills at 2nd base! She had some great stops, catches, tags and throws.. It was beautiful to watch!! And no swearing- very big step Katie! :)
What can I say about our outfield?? I'm beginning to take you all for granted out there- no matter who I put there- or where I put you- you all make great stops, catches and throws.. Our defense is really stepping up!! Love it!!
Oh ya - you see that? Can we say STAR OF THE DAY?????!!!!!! YAY. So, two more games tonight and tomorrow - let's see if I can kick arse once again and NOT SWEAR either.

FALL TV SCHEDULE BEGINS
So, last night I was able to watch Prison Break, Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill - and tonight is the first episode of 90210 (which I am going to try out and see). It was so awesome to have something new to watch other than reruns of reality shows on Bravo and E!
However, the bus schedule on the back road to work kind of stinks.

Laundry ettiquette
So, I did laundry today. The first time in my new building - mind you I haven't even completely moved in yet - like stuff still in storage - but I needed work clothes. So, I get down there and what a debacle.
A dryer had clothes in it - done. Then a washer had a basket w/ money and a dryer sheet on it, just waiting to go in the dryer.
So, at around 1ish (mind you it is 4:49pm and I just finished laundry, now I need to fold - my favorite part) I used one washer and one dryer. By the 2nd load, I was fed up and put random person's clothes in the dryer w/ aforementioned dryer sheet and used their quarters to start it up... YOU'RE FREAKIN WELCOME. I took the other clothes that were dry just waiting to be removed and put them on the table.
I didn't want to touch other people's clothes - dry or clean - but geesh, I feel guilty when I am minutes late to get my laundry out of the machine. When I do laundry I set an alarm to go down every twenty minutes to put in fabric softener and all that jazz.
I wish I had a laundry room right in my apartment. I used to three apartments ago. It was awesome. I MISS IT GREATLY.
So, I ask you, what would you have done?
