Bit to Be Square Art

We officially kicked off Blacksmith baseball this past week, and my boy got to start for the first time in the first game of the double header!

We ventured southbound to China Spring to watch them win 6-2.

L. BAUER 0-1, BB, R

Happy 40th anniversary to The Legend of Zelda! The game was released yesterday back in 1986, for the Famicon in Japan.

By far, the most heavily demanded character by my audience has been Link— whether I’m at an art show or on Facebook, everyone is appalled I didn’t make him a staple of the first collection. Now, here he is in Bit to be Square glory— abstract and elegant!

I volunteer twice a year as an emcee and I was honored last night to host the “Don’t Stop Believing Carroll Business Academy” 1980s themed fundraiser!

I channeled my dad, who owned a car lot in the 80s and both boys earned service points for volunteering too!

And just like that, I acknowledged I’d never sleep again.

They literally bicker nonstop, but Xander joins us all in how proud we are of Landon and his baseball venture.

Westlake wins 7-2!

Ever since I was blessed with boys, I dreamed they’d play sports. Not even necessarily be good at them- but just try, learn, fail, succeed.

We’ve had a lot of stop starts and the primary reason for that was…another party. Another party that wouldn’t take them to practices. Another party that would encourage quitting because it was too much work. Another party who is no longer present, praise be.

I had almost abandoned it all (never pushing), but at the beginning of this freshman year, Landon told me he wanted to play baseball. We got some private coaching, knowing we’d be criminally behind. I stretched the ole checking account for these unexpected costs, but I did so with glee- like thank goodness the long johns arrived this morning.

And today my boy suited up and had his first practice games. He’s made friends (THAT ARE JUNIORS, DAD). He’s hustling. He’s having fun. Like me when I was in high school, he may not play this year or the next or the next, but he’s having a blast and once again, my heart is full.

The war was worth the pain and suffering and we continue to heal. Oh my heart 🥹

Snorlax out the door!

I was introduced to Snorlax when the Pokémon Go phenomenon began and there was a viral video of people in Thailand finding one and they swarmed like a school of fish chasing after him. Now I’ve got like 30 of them, but Snorlax is a Pokémon staple in any collection— heck, we’ve got the bean bag too. Lazy. Snuggly. Ginormous. He also has a color pattern unlike anything else and I love him.

I forgot I bought these months agooooo, but Xander had already seen it with his grandparents so it was nice of him to point at every single thing and tell Landon and I about how he had seen it.
