So last night we had our first kickball game...what a RIOT! We are playing on a team with my cousin, her husband and a bunch of their friends...I didn't know exactly what to expect since I haven't played kickball since middle school gym. First of all, it's impossible to feel like an adult while playing kickball. The pitch rolls to you at approximately .5 mph, which is hilarious enough, but then you wind up and try to kick the ball as hard as you can, only to have it travel about half the distance you think it will because it's so light. I actually had someone complain about one of my "pitches" because it came down the pipe at 1 mph...OOOOOOHHH risky business! I made sure my next pitch was nice and slow and barely crossed the plate :) I know, I know, a true rebel to the core! I think the best part of the game is that you can actually throw the ball at base runners to get them out. Does the movie Dodgeball ring a bell? My favorite shot last night was the butt shot...A guy was running from 1st to 2nd and he must have almost tripped or something because all of a sudden his butt was sticking out and then the 2nd baseman, who had just grabbed the ball proceeded to throw it right at his perfectly placed caboose...what a hoot!
Unfortunately we lost our first game, but at least we had a few (hundred) laughs! Ahh yes, I forgot to mention our team name...Premium Spam! And no, there will be no pre-game Spam eating for this girl...or any Spam eating for that matter. If I want to eat something that wiggles like Jello I'll just grab a cup of good old J-E-L-L-O thank you very much!

Kickball?? Super fun! I love the new header by the way. Gnomes make me happy.
Teehee :) I am the Happy Gnone! Miss you dear!
That was pretty fun, you're right dear. Let's take pictures next time so that you have something to put on your blog!
What happened to your page? It's all green now! Didn't you like the skin we put on there last night?
It's not all green, or at least it shouldn't be. It should have the viney pattern like last night.
And yes, we shall take pics :)
