Exercise and This Last Week

I did not used to be one much into sports of any kind. But, lately that has changed. My siblings and I have been playing volleyball and frisbee usually twice a week and lovin' every minute of it. I prefer volleyball to frisbee in some ways, but frisbee requires more energy and thus, I get more of a workout. So, it's better for me. At least, that's what I keep telling myself. :-) For the last few weeks, we've been playing volleyball for an hour or two, then frisbee for about an hour and then back to volleyball for awhile.

I have many bruises right now, and the worst one is not even from volleyball! I tried to catch a water bottle from my brother, but I didn't do it right, so I have a nice bruise on my arm. I tell myself that it's to blame for not being able to serve the ball very well yesterday. And, then I should have taken my watch off while playing to avoid the nice little bruise I have on my left wrist. *rolls eyes*

Instead of the usual volleyball on Tuesday, I planted little trees along with 23 other teens and young adults for the Fish and Game Department out by a lake. We planted the trees in record time, so we were able to pick up trash and clean the tumbleweed off the fencelines for quite awhile before it started to rain, so we packed up and headed out. By the time we reached the parking lot, the drizzle had subsided, so I played Slap-Jack with my sister and a friend on the sidewalk. This friends' brother informed her that "we couldn't play cards in a parking lot!" Why ever not?! I've done stranger things. :-D

Today, I took to hard work and slaved away on painting the kitchen cupboards. The project had been dragged out much too long already. So, with my older sisters' help, we completed the project. I was very happy to be done with the whole thing, as I'd already sacrificed one sweatshirt to this project. And, it was my heavy-weight sweatshirt perfect for walks in the winter. *sheds a few tears*

Alrighty, I could probably keep writing for a long time, but I need to go start sewing now. :-)
