Too much baseball?

[susandennis]

Yesterday's game got rained out. Get a roof, people! So today they are playing 2. The first game starts at 1 pm my time which means the second game will end, likely about 8 or 9 my time. Baseball overkill. But, I will still probably watch most, if not all of it.

The pool was populated this morning. People I have not seen before. Interesting and fun. I made a quick stop at Trader Joe's and then headed towards a yard sale. The neighborhood where the pool lives has a giant bascillion house yard sale every year. They really do it right. They make this big map of all the sales that is even searchable. I found a place that advertised sewing stuff and fabric.

Last week, one of my LJ friends wrote about having her introvertedness challenged by staying at an AirBnB where it was clear she was expected to be chummy with her host. I don't really think of myself as in introvert or extravert. But in this case, I'm happy to spend more $ to stay at a hotel when I don't have to be friendly. I think it's that switch that got flipped when I got to the garage sale. It was one woman sitting at a table surrounded by her stuff -I drove on by. I have enough stuff and Amazon if I need more. I love a bargain but gimme Goodwill or a thrift store. No someone's front lawn.

So home and breakfasted and considering cutting out some fabric from a new pattern. The dirty clothes hamper is pretty full. And I still need to make a pompom for dangling off Zoey's new lounge plus fix that fabric under the hammock. But... it's now 11 am and I'm still working on my coffee.

My sparkly nail polish is holding up so far and I'm really enjoying it. I love my fingers today!

Trust me. You do not want a roof. When we lost our Milwaukee County Stadium and they put up this new crappy Miller Park.....it’s just not the same. I miss our open air stadium. Now it just feels plastic. You can’t enjoy the warm summer breezes and fresh air much anymore. Can’t look up at the clouds or night skies.......it just feels wrong.

You trust me. My first choice would be a totally enclosed stadium. Like we had in Seattle. But, short of that, I demand a roof (again, like we have here in Seattle). It feels wonderful to know no game is going to be called or delayed on account of the weather. We have plenty of breezes and fresh air. Not that I'm a fan of either of those.

Gimme a staff who do not expect (and would be likely freaked by) friendship and an ice machine and I'm a happy camper :)

Gosh, those paid-for beds where you are expected to socialize are the worst. A lot of my fellow backpacker/traveling types think I'm a snob (or just profligate) for staying in hotels and motels over hostels and B&Bs, but when I am done with the day I just want to relax in peace and quiet. I don't think that's misanthropic or antisocial. I definitely understand the same switch being triggered at garage sales and certain types of mom'n'pop store too.

Exactly - all of it.

And... then, on the other side of the coin, mhaithaca recently wrote about having two Russian kids at his house couch surfing (I think for free) and that sounded really interesting.
