Can you "quilt that out?"

On my way out the door for softball, but took a quick peek online before I left....

Hilarious video via QuiltingGallery blog. Gotta check this baby out! It's a goodie!

Softball's CANCELLED!

It's raining so I can't play ball....

and I can't garden......


I'm off to sew!

My legs are...

Playing softball last night lead to some pros and cons....

PRO--I enjoy playing competitive sports
CON--crappy, rainy, cold weather
PRO--healthy recreational evening
CON--SERIOUSLY, SERIOUSLY opened my eyes to how out of shape I am (since I haven't really run since last October)

My first at-bat, running to 1st base.......
....I was winded

My second at-bat, my legs almost felt (SERIOUSLY) like they were going to buckle under me when I rounded 3rd base, heading to home.

My first left-field, getting "burned" by an over-head shot; running after the ball, and then shortly there-after needing to "hustle" back to the dugout to get my butt up to the batter's box.......W-I-N-D-E-D!!!!!

So....time to stop making excuses! Time to get my butt (literally) back in shape!


On the quilting front; nothing tonight.
I'm watching "The Biggest Loser" ... and crying! {{They just showed the 'walk-down-memory-lane' videos on how far some of the contestants have come}}. The best part of tonight's show: forcing the contestants to 'run' an obstacle course carrying a bag filled with sand bags EQUAL to the weight they have lost. IT WAS HARD! But I sure hope the contestants remember what it was like to carry 150+ extra pounds and how HARD it was to carry that extra weight. It's a great reminder of how hard it IS on our bodies when we carry excess weight... It IS very easy to "veg" and "get lazy" with one's health, and it's too easy to just say "psht---no big deal, it's just 5 pounds. It'll be gone once I decide to start my training again.".....**sigh**.....and then you play a softball game, and you are QUICKLY reminded how unfit you can become in just 5 months of no activity........
...anyway---didn't mean to give a speech there....

Happy Tuesday!

Just getting in my report for last week.

I don't plan on doing any quilting tonight; I'm off to softball in an hour with a Division 1 Ladies league--LATE game! 9:00 start --- in a town half hour away. Ugh! Late night looming ahead!
Icky weather is moving in too------ya think it's too much to ask for a rain-delay?!?!?
{{**crossing fingers**}}

Gosh! I haven't played softball in a couple of years. I left the team a few years ago, but they are in DIRE need of players tonight since most of their players are high school girls. The girls can't play yet since they are still competing in HS ball; therefore, the "sub" list is getting hit up quite a bit these next couple of weeks.

Happy Monday
