Off Day

Today was our first off day of the season.  Nothing too interesting happened today.  It was a very productive and fun day though.  I woke up around 9:30 and made my way to chick fil a for a great start to the day where I got a chicken burrito and some chicken minis!! Mmmm, best breakfast.  I just love me some chick fil a.  After my breakfast I came back to the house and realized my host family had recorded my favorite show that I have been able to watch since I got out to Amarillo.  That was so nice of them so the latest two episodes of my show.  It is on amc and called "The Killing".  It is a murder mystery show where this high school girl was killed and the whole show is the two detectives on the case trying to figure out who did it.  I like mysteries.  After my shows ended it was off to the batting cages.  Like I said, off days aren't really off days.  They are more like days to get your swing back if it feels funny.  I ended up hitting for about 2 hours with one of my teammates.  We just hit off the tee and front toss to get our swings feeling good.  One of the funniest things that I have to do to make my swing feel good is to hit left handed.  I don't know why but it just makes my right handed swing better.  I think it is because I am just so natural left handed that I try to recreate that on the right side.  It is weird but it works for me.  I teach myself how to hit right handed by hitting left handed, who would have ever guessed!  When we finished with out hitting I headed over to Subway for a sandwich before hitting the gym.  My gym time wasn't too hard today.  I played a little basketball to warm up and then I lifted a little for my chest and my back.  Then I played basketball again!  I like playing horse when I go to the gym and I don't normally lose but I lost today.  Today I was a little rusty with my shot since I hadn't shot around in over a week.  After I got home and showered up I headed over to the movies.  I absolutely love going to the movies.  Might be the best thing on Earth.  Just sitting in a big theater with a big Mr. Pibb and some pop corn enjoying a good flick is so relaxing to me.  I watched this movie called Priest.  It is about vampires and priests fighting each other.  It was pretty good.  It kept me entertained throughout the entire movie.  I wish it were a little longer though.  It was only about an hour and ten mins!  I like movies to be about 2 hours so I get my money's worth! 

Now it is about time to get some sleep to rest up for the start of a new series tomorrow.  We have a 6 game home stand!  I'm pretty happy to be home for a little while now.  I need a little break from traveling after last week!
