It's minor news, but I've officially submitted re-applied to the community college here. I should hear back soon, and figure out if I can take the class I wanted to. If now I'll figure something out.

But this is me officially getting back in school and starting to work on my long range plans.

Boy, it's a good thing that I live 1,022 miles (yes, I looked it up. Yay Google Maps!) from the quilt shop I just went to. Holy cow. I think I died and went to heaven. Actually, mom called while I was getting my fabric cut to find out that very thing.

Go, you, Askye!

We lost, so we're done with All-Stars.

We're not done with baseball by a long shot though. Tournament baseball for the rest of the summer. Next one in Alameda, I think, Suzi.

We were playing well, tied at 1-1 after three innings, and then we just coughed up 5 runs. It held at 6-1 until the bottom of the fifth when they scored a run that we should've stopped. Two errors on us.

Emmett lead off the top of the sixth, our last ups. He singled and came around to score. We scored three. Loaded the bases, squeaked in a couple more and the game was 7-6 with two outs and the tying run at third. Popped up to the second baseman with Emmett on deck.

Oh well. We were closely matched with the two teams we lost to. We could've won both of those games if we were flawless, so that's another notch for us to achieve next year.

In the meantime, we're still the reigning District 4 champs.

And I don't have to drive out to Walnut Creek for the fourth day in a row.

Emmett's contentedly curled up with his Nintendo and it's an excellent summer day as far as he's concerned.

Thanks, I'm excited. I think what I want is to become a librarian. So right now that's my long term goal, but I'm open to finding something else that fits.

Although someone a bit rudely pointed out that I just turned 34 and I'll probably be stuck going to school part time and since I'm working to dig out of my hole to get a transferable AA, then a bachelor's, then a masters it will be along time before a I get a degree, and I'll be old. And probably all that work will be useless and I should just figure out something where I could get a career with the least amount of schooling involved.

But I told that person I'd rather end up in my mid forties with a degree and job possibilities in something I wanted rather than being in my mid forties and thinking I'd wasted more of my life.

Go you Askye!

I just skipped 700 plus posts. I'm sorry if I missed anything important. All I caught was YAY! Smay! Which is a good thing to catch.

I stayed up all night working on the store, and then it had a couple of glitches this morning, but I got a nap and the kids have been angels, so all is well.

Have you guys seen it? I'm so excited about how it looks and what we're doing. [link]

So what, Askye? There's no deadline to do what you want to do.

I'm sitting at JFK waiting for my flight to board.

If Emmett gets to be a big baseball star, I only want one thing from y'all. Not money or anything or even acknowledgement that I sent him Pez when he was a bright-eyed kid with a dream. But he has to introduce me to Olbermann.

So what, Askye? There's no deadline to do what you want to do.

This. So this.

Sorry the guys lost, Hec.

GO DEENA!!!!!
