pre-homework activities

it's incredibly windy today in rexburg. i walked to my favorite gas station--horkley's--to get my daily diet pepsi fix and i was blown away (literally and metaphorically) by how strong the wind was! and yes. i broke the sabbath. but i feel like spending 70 cents is not really a big deal. i haven't watched any sports today, and i even watched the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe with my roommates, which as we all know screams religious parallels. so i think i'm good. plus our water here blows and i have no sugar to make kool-aid. it's justified.

baseball starts this week and i could not be more ecstatic! i can't wait for thursday evening! opening day is one of my favorite days of the year. one of my favorite things about baseball (besides the obvious) is being able to have a league of my own. which i created recently! however, i'm somewhat frustrated because i still have a couple spots that people haven't taken. i don't feel like it should be that hard to find 10 people who like baseball enough to play fantasy. but for whatever reason, it is. anyway, it'll be fine. everything always works out. especially when you take it more seriously than your homework.

since joining pinterest, i have created a "pinboard" called craftiness. i created it because i have hopes of being able to make each of the artsy crafty things i pin there. so i think i will pick one and attempt to create it. i might do the envelope made out of a map (see picture below) because it seems the easiest, and i have been on a letter-writing streak lately. so why not? hopefully it goes well. if it does, my penpals will be expecting letters in sweet envelopes in the next couple weeks. don't get your hopes up though!
