mounds of frustration

but still much fun... the title refers to softball, pun intended, and we split the double header winning the first game 14-7 and losing the second game 9-8... i did well, walked a few, went 3-4 in the first game and 3-3 in the second... and in the bottom of the last inning i was on second base (the tying run as we were down 9-8) with one out and the top of the lineup coming up and there's the frustration, we couldn't score... we made too many errors, did not throw the ball in from the outfield fast enough, and so, we split the double header... the team record is 6-7, so we need to win next week to break even at .500... next week we play the team that scores the most runs, plays the best defense, has a 9-2 record and is tied for first place... we lost to them something like 17-16 last time we played them... the team we lost to today was tied for first place, but lost their second game to the other team tied (there was a three way tie for first place going into today) so they are 8-3 in second place and the team that beat them is 9-2 tied for first... we have a lot of learning to do...

they are cool people and it was still much fun...

home now, it's a gumbo soup (trying not to burn the roof of my mouth cuz it's seriously hot) for dinner, three different soups (onion, veggie, and cream of mushroom) with fat free cream cheese and scallops, shrimp, and a couple of cut up hot dogs since i have no sausage in the house... and cheddar goldfish, the extreme kind, of course (actually, two kinds, the baby kind as well, cuz you just have to know all the details)... yum, in spite of the animal flesh (i am hearing vegetarian voices lately, but i am not a veggie for now... i eat a whole lot less than the average usa american according to stats, but i still eat animals)... scallops and potatoes look very much alike in a thick creamy soup... not scalloped potatoes, they are different...

so that's today and i hope yours was fun and delicious too :)
