Birdie's Bling Bling

Birdie got a new charm for her collar. It's covered in diamonds, the fake plastic ones of course. I wonder how long she will keep in on her collar before she chews it off?

Yesterday was laundry day. So Birdie helped rip up the dryer sheets.

Hit by a car

I really didn't get hit by a car, but I could have and not felt any different than I do today. Apparently when you don't excersize for 6 months and then play a double header softball game, and play your heart out, you hurt very badly--About as bad as if you got hit by a slow driving car. The good news is that we won both games by about 15 points each. The bad news is I jammed two fingers on my left hand trying to catch a fowl ball. And for the record typing with one hand SUCKS!

I'm playing church league softball and I will have to brag on my team and say that we're pretty good. We can all play almost any position, we have a great bull pen :) and some pretty good hitters/fielders. I played left and third and our coach Sam, (one of the player's boyfriend) put me at catcher, something Id never experienced before. I didn't like it one bit. Something about squatting behind a person swinging a metal bat with out any catchers gear on, is terrifying. I politely asked not to ever have to play there again or I would kill Sam.

Sean came and supported our team, which was nice because after going to 1 million rodeos, it's nice to make him come sit through a softball game :) And I also enjoyed the support, and he helped me bat better. My batting wasn't the best last night, maybe it was because the bat was too heavy and too long, or maybe because I'm too weak and too short? Anyway... We had a blast and I really enjoyed myself until this morning when I over slept and had a weird dream about going shopping and my buggy wheel kept squeaking and I couldn't make it stop. When I woke up I realized it was my alarm going off, not a squeaking buggy wheel. Oh well..

Good deal on Shoes!!!

Ok so I'm just completely in awe of these pictures I took today in Sardis Arkansas. I had to take pictures of some houses I'm insuring and got a little lost in rural AR. As I was looking around for street names something usual caught my eye. At first glance It was just a normal tree.

Then I took a closer look and saw this...About 30 pairs of shoes! Shoes!! Of every size, shape and color. And they were all nice shoes!! At first I thought, maybe someone is playing a prank and instead of "rolling" the house the "shoed" it. But then, who would buy that many shoes and spend that much for a stupid prank?

I called Sean because I thought he'd probably get a kick out of this. But he didn't answer, so I called Mom because I was dying to tell someone, I was so flabbergasted. Mom said "Oh I've heard people do that on power lines when they sell drugs at their house." So I was thinking, wow someone sure is selling a lot of drugs...

But, we were wrong. As far as we know there are no drugs sold near the tree, just some weird high school tradition for the senior class, according to a lady at my work. Sure is a waste of good money. If you need a good pair of sneakers, I know where you can get some!

Whoa Weekend..

I'm actually happy with being at work this morning and escaping this weekend. I had a wonderful, crazy, eventful weekend, and I'm glad to be back at work, able to rest in my big chair. I have a feeling I'll be tired for a long time after the lack of sleep I got this weekend. I wonder what happened to those College days when I could run for days on a few hours of sleep? Friday I played with the dogs all afternoon after I got in from work. Then I made lasagna and stayed up half the night watching old movie. Forrest Gump was the first one. I cry every time I watch that movie, and I've seen it at least 15 times. My heart just breaks for special needs people..and old people.

Saturday, I woke up early and couldn't go back to sleep. was filled with cleaning, dogs, and Saturday night was our Bunco night. After Bunco we went out for my friend Jen's Birthday. Last time Bunco was a Mexican Theme, This month it was Taste of Italy. We had Italian food, wine, and even the gifts were Italian themed.

At the last bunco game I won the prize for biggest loser. I had less points than anyone, But not this month! I was the high point winner! That's probably because I stayed at the bottom table most of the night and was able to rack up points. Oh well I still won a set of coasters, which I really needed because I don't have any and have been using napkins.

I wore a new outfit I got at Rue 21 and got red wine spilled all down the front of it. We played where if you rolled a bunco, anyone who grabbed the dice got extra points, it got kind of dangerous. At one point as we were all going for the dice a glass of wine was spilled on the table and me and Jen got covered. I was a trooper though and went out for her birthday, wine spotted shirt and all.

Sunday I slept in a little and finished loads and loads of laundry and went down to the creek for some sun and fresh air with the Dogs. They played in the water and then came and laid down beside me and napped. They apparently had a long night which consisted of wrestling on the porch and knocking another plant off. This one was able to be saved..kind of.

Last night we attended a Crawfish boil at our friend, Raine's house. Sean went over there early and I came to pick him up around 7 and ended up staying until midnight. I'm so tired I can't see straight.

Hopefully I can get some sleep later this week. It won't be tonight because I have my first softball game! Oh well, maybe it will get rained out and I can sleep!
