Uncommon Sense
Princess and I have a LOT in common - which is probably why we but heads so often.
We look a LOT alike . . . if not for the 70s background in the picture below (and my mother’s handy note-taking), I wouldn’t be able to tell who was me and who was Princess!
She’s very independent and [...]
Princess had her first baseball game today and had a BLAST! She was a little nervous because she thought she’d be the only girl and she hadn’t had a practice . . . she said she didn’t want to play until she had 2 practices I told her she was playing today without practicing. [...]
I know, this whole miscellaneous sporting goods thing is a very riveting story . . . but IT’S BACK outside! Somebody went into the dumpster and got it. It looks like new, so must not have had anything awful dumped on it. Now it’s just weird - someone got it out of the dumpster and [...]
We’ve been playing pickup baseball with some friends quite a bit lately and having a BLAST! Princess decided she loves it and would like to play Y baseball this summer while Dude’s playing. So she and I went to Target yesterday to get her some baseball pants and baseball socks. She was trying on the [...]

I finally took over the domain for my blog. I’ve always been the one who blogged here, but did not own the domain. But now it’s mine - woo hoo! I also switched hosting services . . . the bummer is that I lost some comments due to the timing of a post and the [...]
Did you hear it? Did you hear the implosion in Boston last night? I did - from 3000 miles away! I have no idea why I felt compelled to post about a match up I care nothing about. But I guess when you’re a baseball fan, you’re a baseball fan no matter who’s playing.
But really [...]
We joined some friends and took the kids and Grandma and Grandpa to their first Rockies game! The bummer was that we had our tickets before the rest decided to go, so we couldn’t sit with them But, we had a WONDERFUL time - our seats were excellent (we almost caught a couple foul balls!) and [...]
I’ve been putting this off for a long time. I wasn’t ready to give up my Summer Saturdays. But, the time has come . . . the time when every boy should start to play America’s favorite pasttime (and mine, too - baseball/softball is by FAR my favorite sport!). Here he is in all his [...]
