Random Thoughts Thursday 61
Comments (21) - Our softball league starts two weeks from today! Woo hoo! I am really excited. We had our first practice last week, and it was a blast. And I am stoked about our team name/theme, hee hee. A few weeks ago Pete posted this picture to our team Facebook page and suggested “Cats with Bats” for our team name. Of course, I loved the idea. One of Christina’s bridesmaids, Jacquie, is a graphic designer, so I asked her to design a team logo, then another teammate suggested we have cat themed names on our shirts… and somehow, everyone went along with it! I just ordered the shirts yesterday and I can’t wait to see how they turn out. Jacquie did a great job with the design! You can see her portfolio/contact info here if you ever need graphic design help.

- As a follow-up to last week’s RTT post, I borrowed Mary Poppins from Bobbi and watched it with Steven. Whoa. What a bizarre movie. I can definitely see why kids like it, but I think it I had seen it recently, I may not have wanted to watch Saving Mr. Banks, so… I am happy I watched them in reverse order.
- Speaking of movies, we are still making our way through the 2014 Oscar Best Picture Nominees (only three left!) and watched Philomena last night. Wow! It was really good! I was thinking I wasn’t going to like it – I had no idea what it was about! But I got really pulled in to the story. The same thing happened with seeing Divergent this week. The previews made me think I would dislike it, but I really enjoyed it!
- Check out Anne’s fundraising raffle for United Against Lung Cancer! She has some really awesome prizes! Every $5 donation gets you one entry, and every $10 gets you a bonus third entry! And there are chances for other bonus entries, as well. Last year, I was honored to be on Anne’s team to fundraise money for The Lung Run. 2013 was a really eye opening year for me in regards to the stigma around lung cancer. I couldn’t even tell most people about the team without them asking if the person we knew with lung cancer was a smoker. Sigh. Anne recently wrote a bit about that here, and I recommend reading it, and donating to her, of course!
- You know what weirdo thing gives me much more joy than it should? Organizing things in google. Adding appointments/reminders to my calendar, completing people’s contact info (addresses, phone numbers, birthdays), adding photos to contacts, filing and archiving emails… ha ha ha. Google brings out my virtual control freak.
