Cowtown vs the Cities

in a single guys baseball game. It was a cold and windy Saturday, but there were lots of fans. I was cheering for the small-town team, though I did have a brother on the other team too. Mark cheered for the "bangers".


Some of the fans, all bundled up.

And more, all cities fans.

Vivian made it too, and was good at yelling "Goooo Turt!"

She also made friends with Todd T, in order to help herself to his candy.

Here's David batting, with Kurt catching and Carl A umping.

I was thinking it would be a blowout for the cities, seeing as how they had more players that had been in organized baseball, as well as the help of a grand slam. However, my team won 6-5!

It is so much fun to watch and play in games like this, when you know everyone.

Reporting on the work scene

The thing I am most excited about at my new job is that I get this weekend off, and Mark is coming down.

It's really not too bad, just taking some time to get used to a new place and new co-workers.

Back in the swing of things

I got a job! My interview on Monday went well, and they officially offered me a design position on Wednesday. It is at a Nursery and Floral store in the large town 25 minutes south of home.

I was hesitant to take it, as it is fairly low-paying. However, nothing turned up in the meantime, so I decided I might as well take it. Also, when I called today to accept the job, the manager told me they had gone up on my pay- .50 more an hour. Saweet.

It may have been because my former employer gave me a glowing recommendation. If you remember, her and I didn't even get along very well in September/October. By the end though, we were buds and I was sad to leave.

I'm relieved and excited to have a job. Now I won't feel like I'm just drifting along, but moored into a new life and schedule in MN.

Knitting and the Twins

go together like peanut butter and bananas. I love the combo, even if it does make me feel like an old lady.
