I just wanted to post this because I am soooo excited and happy this evening and I am not getting much support here at home. I feel like a little kid with a shiny new toy, and there isn't anybody to share it with, so I picked you guys. You have given me such good advice and comfort for the anxiety and bad stuff.
This afternoon I got a call that I was selected to work home plate for a district semi-final softball game tomorrow. I have polished up my shoes and belt, pressed my uniform, fixed my hat(that would be my "cover" to our military types lol), and gotten out my Underarmor.
I don't even want to work tomorrow, I just want to umpire. My name has gone into the pool of umpires for the state championship tournament now! It's kind of a big deal in my life.

Thanks for being here for me.

I have been to Asheville, but never to Asheville. I know that sounds strange. My brother used to manage a sports bar there and we went to eat at his establishment. Hmmmm, perhaps a tour of the city is in order. I am trying to think how I would justify that stop on my way up or down the coast. My brother and his family live in Greenville, SC right now.

Thanks

Aw, Ting, that's so nice of you to say. You hardly know me. But guess what? I got a 93 on my evaluation. Not a 100, but it'll do for a start. Who knows, with a decent team, it might have even been better. Now, if somebody will only look at that and ask me to come to states. Wishful thinking. I did get a recommendation for the Rebel Games in Florida. I just need to fill out the form. I'm psyched about that!!!!

Thank you Blue. No, not to much to be dumping on me. I am ok. I just sometimes am tired by the time I get home.
Thank you for thinking of us,

No, Roxy, I don't at all. I'm a rockin' 52, and nobody has this birthday that I know of. I don't know what it is about that day, but I have found very few that share it.
If you saw me, you would guess around 40, but not over 45 I think. How about it Ting and Caly? Humor me here. lol
I was at a bar on Saturday and this guy was complaining about how old he was getting with all the twenty-somethings there. I told him he had no idea. He bet me a shot that I was within 7 years of his birthday. He was 36. I had to get out my ID to prove it to him. That shot was one of the sweetest....and a real boost for my ego.

See, besides being hopelessly, agonizingly in love with someone we can't have, we share this in common. It's a small world that just keeps going round and round and round...well, you get the picture. :)

Thanks, but it looks like this ride has officially ended as of yesterday. Stranger things have happened, but I'm thinking I need to start working club games again.

By the way, have you also noticed we share part of a name and roxy is about my dd's favorite brand? Outer limits stuff going on here! lol
