My Summer "Top 10" Day 8

Top Summer Moment #8: Softball

When snowboarding season is over, softball takes its place trying to keep me happy until snowboarding starts again and this summer I played A LOT of softball. As always, I was a part of the awesome, amazing, kick ass Weaselhawks, but I was also on another team called “The Ducks” who play in both a summer and fall league.

On top of that, we play a pick-up game of softball every Thursday with a bunch of guys from the neighborhood. I say guys, because it really is mostly guys. I’m typically the only girl who plays with the exception of Joe’s mom who will play once in a while when she’s not too busy. It’s a lot of fun, but I often feel like I need to prove that I’m good enough to play with the boys… and this summer I did just that because I hit a home run! And it wasn’t an “overthrown, error filled home run,” it was a real “hit it over their head, beat the throw home” home run! Whoo Hoo!

Oh… and I also made Joe an awesome softball cape! A softball cape? Yeah, you know you want one.

Softball Cape!

The cape is MOST EXCELLENT. Was there a good breeze, or did you wire it to stick out like that so that he looks super-fast?!

I actually wasn’t there when this picture was taken… I think someone held it up and dropped it, but not sure. Either way, it looked awesome when he would run around the bases!

I'm currently loving ...

America's Best Dance Crew 2 While no one this season can compare to the JabbaWockeeZ, I'm still a big fan of this dance show (always wanted to be a dancer!).

Girl Talk "Feed the Animals" Okay... so the first time I saw this guy live, he was a bit of an a**hole to my friends band who opened for him, but I have to let that slide since I'm totally in love with this mix.

Bats for Lashes Saw this music video at the bike film festival this weekend and loved it. So simple and so creepy...

Flickr photos! lots of photos, especially of cats.

Across the Universe I wasn't sold the first time I watched this, but then I couldn't stop thinking about it and now I'm loving it! Definitely gets you in the mood for some Beatles music.

The Office I know... I'm late to the game, but I can't get enough of The Office right now!

Nortec Collective 5 guys on laptops + 1 trumpet + 1 accoridan... Ranks at the top of my list for best live shows ever, right up there with Radiohead and Flaming Lips.

Knit Book; Basics & Beyond I want to make some hats and I use to know how to knit, but need a refresher. This is a great book that covers a lot of info and has TONS of good pictures (great to learn from).

Bamboo Fabric Store I'm trying to move my Spring '08 collection into the green by using organic and/or sustainable fabrics. I found all my new bamboo jersey fabrics here and I'm totally in love with them!

Project Runway 3 DVD I got this for Christmas and am still too scared to watch it! I've heard that I'm shown on the DVD a lot more than I was on the season... eek!
