I’m slacking big time this week.
Not really… just as it relates to blogging.

I can’t stay healthy.
Don’t ever age past 30.
We were in at the softball world series last week in Kansas City playing with our old Atlanta team. First Vegas went down with a hamstring. Then – because we do everything together – I did mine. 2 weeks before we go to Italy. I swear these things never happened when I was in my 20s! Sigh.
In other news, we had delicious BBQ that I ate so quickly I forgot to take pictures of. There were also breakfasts of Krispy Kreme and Fireball. #sorryimnotsorry

I’m at a loss for what to say this week.
This weekend doesn’t seem real.
What happened in Orlando… I just can’t comprehend how someone could be so evil.
Vegas and I were at THAT CLUB just 8 months ago. We’d gone to Orlando to play in a softball tournament. Our team won second place, and that’s where we went to celebrate. We danced all night, Vegas blew out the heel on her shoe, we hung out on their patio, I used that bathroom a few times having had far too many bourbon and diets… it was so much fun.

I completely forgot I was hosting WIAW today.
But I have a really good excuse.
I’m too busy going to doctors and laying around like this:

Vegas and I are giant kids.
Giant wine-drinking kids.
We first met 7 years ago playing softball and reunited last year when I flew to Vegas to play ball in a tournament. This year we played in that same tournament again, this time on our old Atlanta team.

I’m doing what I was doing exactly a year ago.
Minus the whole being married and having the flu part.
Vegas and I are playing in the softball world series with our old Atlanta team. We’ve won both games so far! Last year it was in Vegas, and that’s when I claimed MY Vegas. 😉

It’s my birthday!!!
Obviously that means presents.
The weekend before my birthday was San Diego’s infamous Over the Line tournament (OTL). Basically, it’s 2 days of camping and playing a baseball-ish game in the sunshine and sand at the beach.
There are 3 players on each team. Your own team member tosses a ball up for you to hit with a wooden bat. You have to hit the ball in the fair territory to get a hit. There are no runners, but 3 hits scores a run.

Travel can be a challenge when it comes to food.
Or it can be a fun adventure!
I’m no stranger to packing up my meals and going. I once flew with 21 meals! This trip is a little different. I’m in Las Vegas playing in a softball World Series. That means long days on the field, not knowing when the next food opportunity will come. We don’t have a fridge and I doubt my ability to keep food at a safe temp in the Vegas sun all day… snack time it is!
Packaged foods are happening. That doesn’t have to be all bad! I’m not snacking on the “typical” things. Here are a few items I’ve packed up to withstand uncertain schedules, heat, and a lot of roughhousing.
