Go Diamondbacks

I went to the Diamondbacks baseball game against the LA Dodgers last Saturday with a few of my friends! We had a great time, the D-backs won and we got on the Jumbotron singing "Brown-Eyed Girl" -- so that makes it even better! We mostly go simply to hang out and really don't pay much attention to the game. At one point K. asked why everyone was "leaving already" and I said, "because the game is over. We won!" To which she clapped and gleefully responded with a cheer! So - it's much more of a social thing for us than a baseball thing. My company has great tickets 13 rows up just off first base. In fact, Sven had to save me once from a foul ball. He hurt his hand and I wondered why he “simply” deflected the ball instead of catching it?!?

Well, I got an 88% on my nutrition exam. Some of the questions were very tricky and I wasn't very happy about a B (or a B plus as the teacher pointed out to me). I was confident I had gotten an A. Although, there could be light at the end of the tunnel since NO ONE got 100%. Hopefully she'll do a curve and I will get an A! I was so upset by a couple of the tricky ones that she actually gave me back her test questions and asked me to suggest a rewrite so they weren't tricky. –laughing- I know she didn't want me to wait for her after class in the parking lot... I rewrote them and even as I did, they were making more sense to me -- the trickery vanishing as I saw her point of view. I still rewrote them, though.

September is over - unbelievable! The weather is really cooling down and this entire weekend has been truly unbelievable. It reminds me why I suffer through 3 months of intense blazing heat searching for cold water every 10 minutes. Cool winds, starry nights, and luscious living... the reward is well worth the small torture of heat. Next month - Halloween!! I'll have some more great pictures to share then.
