Don't Believe Anything You Hear About Me and Softball (or Whiffleball)

Alright this has gone on long enough. These rumors are even reaching my mother and probably everyone in the Littleton Stake. There are still people there who think I'm a nice girl.

My friends husbands like to tell stories about an certain incident from coed intramural softball ages ago. I have no idea why this keeps coming up, but I feel I need to make some clarifications on what you may or may not have heard.

1. I did not throw my shoes over the fence. (that was one I hadn't heard till this week)

2. I did not threaten the umpire

3. I NEVER SWORE if I did it was under my breath and not audible to anyone. Plus I would have been kicked out if I had.

The umpire had probably confused me for someone who had dumped him for being ugly and so he was not very nice to me the entire game. I had clearly slid in under the tag to score the game tying run towards the end of the game and he called me out. I then proceeded somewhat calmly back to our bench and then proceeded to make simple suggestions to the umpire for the rest of the game. Anyone who knows me knows I would NEVER get too worked up about an intramural game. It's just for fun. Winning doesn't matter even if the horrible calls the umpire made kept you from making it to the championship game and it would have been the first one you made it to in over 13 intramural teams.

And now you know the rest of the story.

But really, I didn't swear. (I'm pretty sure memory loss is a side effect of anger)

Breakthrough and Conquer

I'm back!!!!! That's right my internet is afloat and hopefully you can have an update every Friday!

So I was wandering around the NBC website to see if Peter Petrelli cut his hair for the second season of Heroes and I stumbled across the greatest news I have heard in a long time.

OPEN CASTING CALLS FOR AMERICAN GLADIATORS!!!!!!!!

That's right it's coming back!! Although it won't be the same if half of the audience isn't wearing over sized "BO Knows" t-shirts or if Larry Csonka isn't commentating.

They also need to do a "where are they now" with the old gladiators, although it might be a little too depressing. I'm pretty sure half of them are cops/security guards now like every contestant that faced them, or they're personal trainers at some Gold's Gym. It's too bad it's not the Gold's Gym I go to. (Although it is Lindsey Lohan's gym of choice while in rehab).

Speaking of Gold's Gym, I think I'm going to officially start training for American Gladiators. I'll have to get working on my arm strength for the eliminator, but I'm pretty sure it's better to just to jump down on the mats at the start and then just take the 10 second penalty and then you have extra arm strength for the cargo net. I've never thought about going on this show before.

In honor of it's return American Gladiators is my new search of the month. The one with Malibu is hilarious and I really hope they bring human cannonball back. The Ellen episode they did where she went on American Gladiators is soooo weird. She's dating Nitro in it, and he cheats on her with Ice. What is that?!? I miss old TV.

Technical Difficulties

I know you all have been so disapointed that you haven't been able to read my blog, but I have had the hardest time getting my internet up and running at my new place. I will have it up soon, otherwise I'm going to go crazy, but then there will be some fantastic posts coming up. I also have a few other projects I'm trying to work on that I'll keep you posted on.

In the meantime check out a few of the blogs I have links to. I especially love Lindsey's blog, "My Favorite Sister," (she's adopted) because it's like the greatest thing I've ever seen. I'll also add another picture of my favorite niece, who I miss already, but I'm glad she gets to grow up in Colorado. Enjoy!
