Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Mine was spent enjoying the outdoors, playing bush league sports, and laughing with friends. I spent Saturday afternoon up at Tyler State Park with Casper hiking all the mountain bike trails they have there. (I'm at work and I forgot my camera plug-in so pictures are temporarily on hold...) Just visualize rolling green hills and gigantic dogwood trees that only bloom in the month of April.

It was good to find a place to hike. It is definitely something I missed about Wyoming and even though this isn't as great it's a great way to spend an afternoon. There were a lot of people out fishing, canoeing, kayaking, camping, etc. It would be fun to get a group out there for a weekend to camp and have a good time. I could use the sweet new tent and cooler my mom got me on her visit too.
Saturday night I went with Kalen and Stephanie to BBQ in Jacksonville and play cards. The food was soooooo good. It is nice to have some good souhern cooking or any decent homeade cooking for that matter. I brought fudge brownies I made out of a box and I went home with an empty pan so I declare SUCCESS! Stephanie made these awesome jalepeno pepper things. You gut the peppers an fill them with cream cheese and wrap them with bacon and then grill them. I am NOT a spicy food person but I actually really loved these. If anyone wants the recipe I'll ask Steph so you can give it a try.
Sunday was filled with sleeping in late, co-ed practice and bowling. A bunch of people from my slowpitch team all got together to have some pizza, beer, and a few laughs. I wore a really bright orange shirt on the chance that it could be galaxy/cosmic/blacklight bowling and it toooooootaally was. That was the good news. The bad news is that I traditionally suck at bowling.
We had two lanes going and after people started going home myself and the few guys left started playing "competitive" bowling as I coined it. You do a count down and bowl at the same time and compete against each other each frame. Obviously once I had this new found competitive aspect to bowling it was ONNNNNN. I kicked all the boys asses and would say things like "booya" or "how'd that strike taste" Obviously my competitiveness hasn't weakened but has somehow managed to make even casual bowling a shit-talking event. Love it.
Soon to come:
*Before and after shots of my cupboard
*Old cars in spring
*Tyler State Park
*Bachelorette party count down
*Brainstorming
By the way, I absolutely love baseball season.
"Baseball is an allegorical play about America, a poetic, complex, and subtle play of courage, fear, good luck, mistakes, patience about fate, and sober self-esteem." ~Saul Steinberg
