I'm doing 37 things
We met through Twitter. Odd, I know. But fitting when you consider we’re both kind of geeks. We’d been “following” each other for months on the site, though we didn’t know each other or have mutual friends. We met up once for lunch when he was in town. Then a few months later, we met up for dinner. Another couple months and we got dinner and saw a play we both wanted to see together. It was an amazing night. But it wasn’t until my birthday a week later that we really connected. I visited his city about an hour away, and we went to the zoo, the botanical gardens and took a very long part around the canal. And we talked. That night, after a nice dinner and watching one of his favorite movies, we kissed. And we’ve been seeing as much as we can and talking as much as we can since. He’s amazing, how could I not fall in love? :)

karaoke w/co-workers

My first song I was really timid. My second, however, I picked something I knew everyone would know and sing along to — build me up buttercup — and just belted it. Totally awesome.
Standing triple?
2 years ago
I hit a standing triple over the outfielder’s head at last week’s softball game. If I were faster, it would have easily been a homer. So, I guess I need to work on my running skills. It was still a nice hit.
