non-stop summer fun
we've been packing like crazy people for the past few weeks. on top of moving on sunday we're gonna try and fit a ton of fun stuff into this weekend just because. i'm charging up my camera since i haven't really taken any photos in a while 'cause there will be lots to see!
one fun new thing i've taken up this summer is softball. for the past three sundays cory and i have joined friends at roosevelt park to play for hours and hours at a time, usually followed by a bbq in peter's backyard. just last week we played against an official league team and creamed them, 35-7. i discovered that i have a really strong swing, but i can't get the timing right so i rarely make contact with the ball. if i can hit the ball just right i know it'll go flying into the outfield (i did it once!) maybe i'll get cory to record how embarrassing it is to see me swinging so hard and missing over and over again. this entire week my right shoulder has been killing me from doing just that. and i kinda screwed up my left ankle from running around in the outfield. i'm hoping it's better by the move. maybe i need an ankle brace.
i've already been planning our housewarming party. we're gonna have grilled pizza. and inspired by a pizza party i went to a long time ago put on by ramsey's friend ari, i will have each of the guests bring a favorite ingredient (mushrooms, spinach, etc) to put on their pizza. i'm also planning on serving lots of yummy summer-y side dishes and things to nibble on that will come directly from the market that morning. living just a block from the market is going to be heaven.
man, every single one of my weekends in july is completely packed with activities. having a new apartment with a backyard will let me play in the garden whenever there's downtime, too. this has already been a great summer and it's going to get even better.
