Jess Really Does Rock (contrary to popular belief)

well, i didn't want to say something lame like, WOW... my first ever post on a blog! but as you can see, i went-ahead-and-big-fat-did-it-anyway. makes you proud to know me, right?

over the next several eons, you will come to know me. you will know my likes, dislikes, my fears and more! i know, i can hear you asking yourself, "how cool is THAT??" and then... it creeps in... the realization that it ain't that cool.

i have a softball game tonight. i am still not sure why i signed up. maybe i didn't get enough sleep the night before, or i had one too many miller lites over the weekend. perhaps i did it, because, for one brief millisecond, i felt like an overpaid sports superstar signing a multi-million dollar contract. then i realized this was just a two-pitch recreational league. i signed up because i caved, ok?!? i caved into peer pressure, aka your-friends-talking-you-into-something-you-really- don't-want-to-do-but-probably-will-anyway. like doing that beer bong when you were 17. don't act like you don't know what i am talking about.

the real reason i signed up is because i enjoy being part of a team, even a losing team (which we TOTALLY are, btw). i enjoy physical activity, even though you wouldn't really be able to tell by looking at me. i enjoy being outside on september evenings and it gets me out of cooking dinner.
