Elixir of Life

The room is still spinning, yet I have had nothing to drink except the elixir of life.

bleh, barf, haha. I know that was really, really bad, but I had to say it anyhow.

I can't keep up with everything that is going on in my life right now. Although, this is what I wanted for my summer. I didn't want to miss a thing, but now I am missing a lot of things due to trying not to miss a thing. Make sense?

What are these things I am talking about? Well, it's been gathering after gathering with the gang. We've been throwing BBQ parties, housewarming parties, and very soon, wine parties. It's been great hanging out with everyone, but where do I find the time to do everything? We need an example. Right now, I am sitting at home and missing a meeting, because I needed to do laundry this morning, since I didn't notice that I have no more underwear. haha. Stupid reason not to go into work, but you mock me.

Little do you know, these are the other things going on that attribute to me NOT doing the "turn your underwear inside out and forgettaboutit." It's hot and humid. I am either working out, running, or playing a volleyball/softball game every day of the week. I have no A/C in my car or home. :) You do the math.

Ok, I know math is hard for most people, so I will do it for you, jeesh.

hot+humid+working out+running+games+no AC = DO NOT do the inside out thing.

OH, I almost forgot, but my toe won't let me. I'll dive into the story which leads up to something gross. It's my blog, deal with it. I am a pretty intense player when it comes to volleyball. I played in High School and learned enough to hold my ground during competitive play. However, I am playing with some co-workers in the fun league. This means I get to run all over the court and hit as hard as I want without blocks. Normally, this doesn't affect my toes.

We play on a pathetic excuse for a volleyball court. The "sand" court is compacted dirt with about 6 inches of "sand" on top of it. Nothing but lies. Don't believe it when you see it at the Fair Lakes courts. It's fairy dust on top of dirt. So, if you make any effort to move quickly or jump hard, your foot is essentially parting the fairy dust and viciously scraping against the compacted dirt. Would you normally do this on compacted dirt? NO?! Well, the fairy dust got to me and I thought my feet would hold out.

By the way, it was 6/6/06 yesterday. Just let that work itself in to your mind.

This is what happens when you mess with fairy dust covering compacted dirt from hell:



So, if you ever play on a sand court that looks and feels more like the Sahara Desert, I recommend you bring protection.

For your FEET!
