1st Base

We've decided that we can take -25, but hate 80. The weather is starting to get warmer here, we've been in the 80s a few days in a row now. We can't believe that we've started thinking of 80 as hot. Not warm, downright hot, mind you. Its still pretty cool during the nights (in the upper 50s low 60s) so we're not having to use the ac much. Hopefully the summer will finish out like this.

With the gorgeous weather and wanting to get involved with a church I recently went and played softball. Yes, the soccer player who has never played softball in her life went and played. I got stuck on catch duty, which got me lots of practice throwing. We had a good pitcher so there were lots of strikes and I got to practice throwing. I apparently bat left handed though and I managed to connect with the ball the three times I batted. (I actually was on deck four times, but the first time the male in front of me was walked so I got to walk as well :) which saved me an embarrassing chance at hitting) The last bat I made it on base while the first two were outs, but close with my running ability.

In terms of food stuff -- I'm having a specialized blood test done that will test 150 different things and will give me back a rotation type diet. So it will tell me what food I can eat safely anytime, what I can eat occasionally, and what I can never eat. They messed up the blood they took last week so I get to have more drawn tomorrow for that. Hopefully they'll get it in less than three pricks.

One of the guys Chris works with had surgery yesterday so he is working late. He is back on leaving on the last express train and coming home on the last express train, putting him home about seven. It makes for short nights, but we have fun anyway. We're currently working our way through the John Grisham movies, well the movies made from his books. We want to work through the Harry Potter movies, but apparently so does everyone else in the Netflix world. We still need to go and see the new one. We actually went out and saw it opening night but I missed it so I want to see it again.

That's the news from Chicago. Hope all is well with you guys.
