what am I waiting for?

On the expert advice of a trusted professional, I am going to sign up for a summer softball league!  I used to play all the time growing up; from the time I was old enough to play powder puff through high school and beyond.  I ate, drank and slept softball!  And I have to say, I was pretty damn good at it, too.  My high school coach signed my yearbook,



"Best of luck to the home-run champ of THS.  We will miss you."  That meant a lot to me and I'm anxious to get back in the game, both figuratively and literally.  It's no secret that I weigh a lot more than I should.  If I wait until I lose a lot of weight to participate in life, I'll have lost a lot of years instead.

In the infamous words of the Nike slogan:  Just do it!  And I shall!!!  That being said, I'm going to a sporting goods store this weekend in search of a glove and cleats.  Then, I'm going to fork over more money to join the league.  GAHHHH!!!  I have to admit, I'm nervous, but also excited.  I hope they have a practice or two before the season starts.

AND...  In the fall, the City and County of Denver will offer a class in sign language that I'm going to sign up for.  I've always wanted to learn sign language, and now I shall.  It's a 6 week class that'll only cost $25; what a bargain!

So, that's my schpiel.  It's been a great day and I feel very blessed to have choices and the freedom to make my own decisions.

Carry on...............

go get em SLUGGER!!!!!!

p.s. i would LOVE to learn sign language! It's a fantastic form of communication. I'm always envious of people who sign like it's second nature.

p.p.s. you don't even want to know how much those on-call interpreters that come to the ED make.
