Dear Journal,
Well, at the baseball games on Monday, as long as they were, I didn't hear anything about Saturday. Skillz asked if I'm sick of this yet and I said, "Nope, besides, it gets me out of my house." Jake pitched 5 ½ innings of the first game and Jason played first base. In the bottom half of one of the innings, possibly the third, I was able to learn Jake's real reason for wearing a t-shirt. It's not that he has hairy armpits or excessive chest hair. He just sweats like crazy. (I don't know which is grosser.) I found this out because he changed his shirt.
It was our turn to go to bat, and when Jake came in from pitching, he got into his bag and started taking off his jersey. Scooter said, "What are you doing man?"
"Changing my t-shirt."
"Why?"
"This one's soaked. I brought four."
I didn't sit there and stare, that would have been too obvious, but I could see Jake out of the corner of my eye. I also checked for hairy spots, just to make sure there were none. Smile
Jake hit his 5th home run and said that his goal is 5-5 (5 home runs and five stolen bases). He has three stolen bases.
Yesterday before work, I ran to Walmart and Kmart looking for a scrapbook. I found one at Kmart and bought it, but decided to run to Target real quick. I was speed shopping. First I went to where they have their film. There wasn't anything, so I went to the office supplies area. As I was heading back there I saw Marty looking at CDs. There wasn't anything back there either, so I left. I passed Marc again. Even though I saw most of the guys everyday at school in street clothes, he still looked funny not being in his uniform. Although, his baseball hat was on backwards, which is normal, since he's out catcher. As I headed towards the exit, I saw someone else in street clothes heading for the exit. Jake was about five feet ahead of me. He had on a navy blue t-shirt, shorts, NO baseball hat, glasses, and sandals (like Peyton's). he was parked one aisle over from me, so I was able to follow him to my car. Smile
I am now making a scrapbook (similar to the one I made for Peyton for graduation) for myself. Once you get the hang of it, it doesn't take very long to make several pages. In about 4 hours I've made over 20 pages, and have many, many, more to go.
