What is wrong with him???


It is so hot and humid today. Heat index of 110 degrees…
…who on Earth would be out playing softball in this heat?

Oh, that’s right…
…Hubby And The Morons

They say its for a charity.
…which it is.
I say, just give money.
…clearly, I don’t understand the ‘rules’.

Apparently, Hubby has forgotten about the surgeon saying, “No more softball.”.
…but I remember.

I remember clearly.

…sitting in the waiting room during his surgery, a nervous wreck…
sitting with him in recovery…
and the doctor going over the pictures of the surgery,
and saying, “No more softball”…

Hubby can claim that he was medicated,.
…but I have witnesses.

So, while Hubby played softball…
… I did this.

It is ‘tax free’ shopping this weekend in Iowa… I mean, what’s a girl to do?

I’m sure Hubby will be treating himself to ice packs and heating pads when he gets home.
…so I treated myself to these.

I know what you're thinking.

...Amy, you don't run.

True.

...but maybe I would consider it with these hot little kicks.


One of my dearest friends, Emily, is visiting from Texas.

...she was my partner in crime today.

And so was her little girl...

The Fabulous Miss K



















...don't you love her jewels?
She spotted the bling in every store...
...girl after my own heart.
Emily and I did pretty good...
...we didn't even go into the Coach store.
I know!
Hubby is home.
...I guess he survived.
And now there is talk.
...about the 'old gang' getting a team back together for the fall league.
...looks like I'll be hitting up the Coach store, afterall.

  6. Hi Amy, I laughed at this post. If hubby's going to play, then there's no reason you shouldn't right? Miss K is a doll.

  8. Ohhhh,,, that brings back memories. My daughter played ASA fastpitch for 10 years,,,,yeaaaaa,,,, 11 months out of the year, she and I were committed to softball. Well, she was committed to softball, I was committed to shopping! It was the only way we both got through it!!!and the dr. thing, I was there too, but my d. at only 18 wanted to have her knees for the rest of her life, so she quit!!! I wish I had stock in ice bags and BioFreeze... Cute shoes, no reason why a girl can't have cute shoes when she wants to stomp on hubby for going against drs. rules...

  15. Amy ~~ what can I say but W-A-A-R Eagle! I'm hoping this year is going to be better than last since old Tubby left us. But back to the MIL stuff...thanks for your sweet comment on my blog. My SIL (daughter's hubby) is the only Alabama fan and we MIGHT let his son (Jackson) become one if he wants to.

    My son's little girl is McKinley...stay tuned in a couple of weeks cause we're going to her 4th b'day party on Aug. 22nd in B'ham. This is the son that lives near Rhoda of Southern Hospitality (do you know her blog?) and she and I have become "real" friends as well as blog friends. I love her to death!

    I'll be keeping my eye on your blog and thanks again for visiting mine.

    Hugs!
    Judy
