daddy's girl

since all of a sudden i'm very participatory in work events, I just might try out for the softball team, despite all previous bouts of bitching that it isn't worth it to just play in a one day tournament. There are a lot of new people and I like them so I think it will be fun. Since I didn't try out last year my mitt is still all kinds of new so I gotta break it in. I played catch with my Dad today in the backyard. It was pretty funny. I'm not terrible by any means but I'm still just clumsy enough to make it look like I have no idea what I'm doing. I did better than I thought I would though, it's been an age. Then he even complimented my throwing a few times so that was cool. I just have to stop catching it this one retarded way where I turn my wrist in all funky. Supposedly we're going to practice every day and eventually get to batting. I'm not as worried about that since I know I'll spend more time way out in right field than I will at the plate. I know we *have* to have girls so I also know they will only let us bat the minimum amount of times. But I intend to be one of the better gals on the team, other than the softball chicks who are already good. I need to do sprints and stuff. My dad is supposed to start exercising because he needs to lose weight, so maybe I'll go with him. I know he knows he has to do that but he just had a physical on Friday so it's fresh on the brain right now. So we are gonna be like training buddies or something, coolness.

It's so hard to go back

During some crazy nap fight with my niece, my glasses are all jacked up now. I took them in to the dr. office today so we'll see what happens. I'm really frustrated because my backup pair are totally fuckered. I waited till they were on their last legs to get new ones so they're all oddly bent and fit even more oddly and I keep trying to bend them to make it better and end up making it worse. She said she would try to fix it, if not it should be covered for replacement, which will take about a week. I'm so tempted and nearly stupid enough to go to lenscrafters and get new glasses tonight. But since I don't know if I have to pay to replace/repair the current pair and also since my prescription is so bad, it would really be one of the dumbest things I could do right now, financially anyhow. I am really hating this though, they need to have loaners like they do for cars. Like, oh here are some eyes till yours are ready from the shop. While I was waiting around I checked out the merchandise but I didn't see any I liked, which is probably a good thing. It will be nice when I can see/look better than I do right now.

Lovin' Lanvin

I read a really great article about Alber Elbaz yesterday c/o JC Report. I usually never read it because I give up on fashion till I have more time and money to devote to it, but I scanned the email and thought I saw "Lanvin" so I went back to it. Ctrl +F and a link later and I'm totally swooning. This was my favorite part though, "in fashion and in life, you need fear and insecurity in order to move forward." I'm going to go drool over dresses now.
