Canoeing Lady Bird Lake (Town Lake)

This past Saturday I went canoeing for the 2nd or 3rd time that i've lived in Austin. It was tons o' fun. There are humongous turtles. We saw on that was about 2 feet in diameter. It looked like something out of the prehistoric ages swimming down the river. We saw one group that was managing to sink two of their boats. Six people were in the water swimming while their boat was slowly filling with water. These are the same people that didn't quite know how to use their oars. We moved quickly away from them as to not by some way capsize our boat too just by being near them.

Lately

Tonight, I am home. I am listening to the Dallas Stars playoff game on the tv as I do absolutely nothing on this fantastic computer of mine. My cats are rolling around on the ground attacking each other. No noises, hisses or sounds, just the sound of their bodies smashing the ground as they flail and try to be top cat. Oops, one of them just fell down the stairs. I think that game may be over...

My week? Monday, no softball, so the team went and played pool. Well, not the entire team, we were missing half, but it was fun. Tuesday, softball practice, then a game. Oh yeah, I also went and talk to the little community college here and will be attending this summer. Working towards some sort of architecture degree. I'm ready to bust this out and feel a little more complete about things. I never liked school...but I think i'm at a point that I want more out of myself.

I went and saw "21" last night. Good, entertaining movie. Not going to win any awards, but it was fun to watch.

And tonight...nothing. I should be working on a website, but i'm not. I'm obsessing over my fantasy baseball team. I lost the first week, pushed away my emotional ties to the Braves team and chunked the boys that weren't obtaining ANY points for me. I'm doing better this week. Today, I was up by 20 some points.

Here's the latest pic of the "baby". She's only 5.5 months old...it's crazy. I realized that all the pictures I have of her are of her lying down. The others are blurry...she's quick and all over the place.
