kickball update!

so beforehand, DH and I did some practice kicking/catching cause I wanted to learn how to bomb it.

Only had 9 people - IDK where the other 25 people of our team were at. I did a solid bunt to start but 3rd out happened when I was at 2nd, boo.

In the field, I had a catch that I allllllllllllmost had but it bounced off my..........boobs. Dammit.

So like my 3rd? time up, I totally bombed it. Went out solidly between 2nd and 3rd. Excellent kick, I heard my bench go OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH nice kick!

I was quite proud when I got to first. DH had been ahead of me though, and was less impressed since they were able to get to him at 2nd. He said it was a good kick but maybe don't kick toward his running spot next time. After that, I always ended up like, going up with 2 outs and people on base so I never quite knew how to kick so I'd try bunting, but they'd pop and so I kept getting out :( DH said we'll work on that now.

In the outfield, I covered 2nd one time, dropped the ball at my feet but picked it up juuuuuuuuust before the girl got there. I got an out! I also picked up a ground ball and got it to first for the assist. Go me! At the end, this guy's kick was like line drive but over my head. I knew I wouldn't catch it, but wasn't sure if DH and other guy behind me were in good position, so I batted it down (had to chase it for a second) and yelled "SORRY!" Turned out to be good, cause the guy stopped at 2nd. He told me himself that had that gone over my head, he'd have tried for home.

So we won 13-7 and I'm preeeeeety sure that I'm the only one on our team who didn't score. Poop. But I'm glad we won.


oh yeah, in practice, I had been drop kicking some deep balls to DH to catch and it totally paid off. He had some great catches tonight.

Of course, I'm his best catch ;)

Mtown this is how you do kick ball updates. So is CF championship going to be held in Dubuque 1 game format, or a 2 out of 3 series moving between each of your home fields.

We are 8-1 at our field so we'll play here and comp the travel expenses. 11 per side and 4 women minimum. Winner gets to pick losers house paint color.
 
In the thread about why you should be bullish for the cyclones, ribsnwhiskey said that to the Iowa troll (steamer). The post is now deleted and he's been banned. I'm thinking that's who it is.
Damn. Good call by CW. That's about a mile over the line of acceptability

Waiting for a refund for a shirt I sent back. I never wrote down the tracking number on the return label, so I have no idea if it even made it back yet. Also, I bought something and it's backordered until November.
 
Dollar general in my town is like a mini lottery game. The items have prices on the shelves under them, but seldom match the price you pay. Got toilet paper last night, was in the wrong spot for what the shelf label said. Found the right price label and figured 9 bucks was fine. Rung up as 8 up front. It's 50/50 that the price on the shelf and the price you pay match.
