Non-Winter

[ninj]

So I dislike winter. I hated winter in MN and I stand by any earlier comments I made about snow being evil.....and with that said winter in Fresno does not feel like winter. Sure, it gets chilly and the fog is thick and blinding, but for the most part not winter. I played a softball game in fog so thick you couldn't see the outfield (we thought we stood a chance) and the sweater I wear at work to combat the continuing air conditioning in my office. Subsequent to it not feeling like winter comes the feeling that it's not the holiday season. So can it start feeling like Christmas soon?

I have kinda sort joined the paramedics softball team to play in the local co-ed softball league. So far they've lost five games and I've played in two. It's fun and they've been surprisingly laid back about the whole 'I suck' thing, but that's changing. Mostly Chris is saying I seem disinterested and that I don't care what happens. Yes, I suck=I don't care. Apparently I'm supposed to be getting more frustrated with myself and apologizing. Yeah, been there, done that, guess what? It's only made everyone I play with dislike me more. No doing that. So I have to think of a graceful way out now. Unfortunately they need girls.

I have other thoughts, but I must go and get ready for an 11 to 12 hour day of dealing with people that want the county to pay their rent no questions asked and leave them alone. Some days my job makes me bitter.

Hmm, the girl co-ed sports team dilemma is always a tough one when the girl (in this case, you) doesn't want to play. Mark and I had a theory that a boyfriend and girlfriend playing tennis together was a recipe for absolute disaster unless a special set of circumstances were met. The same goes for any sport. I think it's probably smartest of you to just not play, even though it might "hurt the team". You can support the team in other ways, perhaps, like supplying juice boxes!

Sorry about Christmas, but you can't have it both ways. Unless you like in Alaska and visit Hawaii in January, like I did last year. *shit-eating grin*

I support the team by working over time so that Chris doesn't have to work at all except on weekends. Woot. I guess I'm kinda stuck in the league now that I've played a few games. I shall just be a grown up and not ax murder my husband for being an insensitive jerk. Have I mentioned I dislike being a grown up?

I'd really hate to think my lack of seasonal feelings is simply due to lack of snow. Although, I realized that it's smelly fish weekend at St. Olaf. I think I miss the cookies, but not the insane amount of sweaters.
