Flag football season ended well for The Hershey Squirts. We ended up as 4th seed in the Playoffs and fought a good fight. Shortly after football season ended, I started playing volleyball on a league at work. Fun group of people - but the game sucks! Okay, okay, the game doesn't suck...I do. I am HORRIBLE at volleyball. Just plain horrible. I've decided that I need more aggressive sports.
Dodgeball season started last week...also with the Harrisburg Young Professionals organization we played football with. The Hershey Squirts are back in business!!
You may be surprised, but dodgeball is a serious workout! So serious that the day after our first game, we all shared emails back and forth about how much pain we were in, how sore our arms were, ...how pathetic we were that dodgeball had kicked our butts physically!! And emotionally. We lost the first night.
We were ready to come back with a vengeance this week. We lost. Again.
There's always next week... :-/

Blizzard in PA!
So, it's a Friday night in Pennsylvania...and it's snowing! Surprise, surprise! Although we're expected to get about 15-18 inches of snow over the course of the weekend, I have to admit that I'm kind of excited about it! The last time it snowed like this this winter was the weekend of December 19 when I was supposed to be headed home for the holidays. I ended up being stuck here in Harrisburg for days until I could find a flight back to sunny Florida.
This time is different. Last blizzard, I could hardly enjoy the laziness of sitting around the house, watching movies, and enjoying the company of people you care about. Instead, i was so concerned that I'd never make it back to Jax for Christmas - that I spent the better part of that weekend stressed out. This time around, it really is different.
When I got off work, I packed a bag with a couple outfits, my work stuff, a couple DVDs, and hit the door! Off to spend the weekend, snowed in, with the 'bf'!! There's something really relaxing about sitting on the couch, watching a good tv show, playing on the computer, and watching the snow fall outside. I have to admit, it is surprisingly pretty.
Tonight on my way over here, I had my first rough experience driving in the snowy, wintery weather. At first, my car fish-tailed a bit as I turned a corner...and just shortly after I had gotten back on track, I drove about a quarter of a mile or so...and lost complete control again. The second time was very scary though - there was another car coming in my direction and started to also lose control. Next thing I know, my car was no longer moving forward, and moving sideways toward the car on my left, then the sign on the right, the curb....it was bad. By the grace of God, I managed to regain control - and slow the car down and stop safely. Whew - that was scary!! Fortunately, when I moved here...everyone gave me little tips about how to react in that sort of situation...that definitely helped! (thanks!)
Thankfully, I'm safe and sound, cozy and warm, and ready for a good night's sleep!!
