Trash Cans, Planter Beds, and Wall Paper...
So I went to a Doger game today, that's right the Los Angeles Dogers, not to Brooklyn Dogers and certainly not the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. (even though I am more so an angels fan right now, I'm still bitter at the lame name choice)
Dogers beat the Astros 1-0, the game was interesting, and full of excitement. Not as much as an Angel game I went two almost two and a half months ago, but none the less this game was highly enjoyed by all in attendance. I thank my Dad for purchasing tickets from a season ticket holder and allowing me it invite 2 additional friends along for the ride. He has tried to keep this practice with me growing up as long as I was able to remember going to the baseball game. I hope to someday be able to pass on the tradition, generosity, and delight. We all greatly enjoyed the game, the heat, and the crowds.
I started my day with a little bit of bedside Baptist, and about 2 hours of yard work. I do understand why someone would want to make sure that there home was in order (physically speaking) as a priority in how they life their life. (this is not a total concession to my mom's way of living her life, but none the less when you are gone for 5 weeks, and no one cultivates your home there does come a line the needs to be crossed, then battled, then slowly but surely put back in order)
When we returned from the Doger game, my Dad helped me "dumpster dive" and dump our already full trash cans due to my excessive cleaning these last few days. Once room was created, my roommate Garrett and myself went to work cleaning and organizing our Fridges and Freezers as well as our pantry closet. This included, but is not limited to shopping, cleaning, moving, organizing, scrubbing, dismantling, breaking, vacuuming, throwing away, snacking, stripping wallpaper, and setting-up policies for the house we live in!
There was more that happened this weekend, but I thought that this glimpse would be enough for starters...

What made the Angel game so interesting? Was it the fights that broke out?
The fights about sandpaper, and pine tar in regards to the pitching staff were interesting, but my favorite part was the absolutely great seats I had, not to mention the fact that the proceeds for the tickets went to help the Nightlight Christian Adoption agency, and of course who it was that I got to sit next to. Who ever said that you can't have your cake and eat it too!
I never realised how important a good bed was until I got a bad back�.
Over 1,400 members of BackCare, the national organisation for healthy backs, responded to our Back Your Bed survey - the first of its kind to explore the views on beds of those who suffer from bad backs and the experts who treat them.
SUMMARY OF THE BACK YOUR BED SURVEY RESULTS
Buying a good bed is one of the most important purchases you can make when it comes to back pain relief. Nine out of 10 say their bed is more important to them since they developed back pain; 98% agreed that a good, supportive bed could help a bad back. 82% of experts felt that the right bed could help prevent back pain.
"If you cannot rest properly and sleep well, this hinders recovery from back problems."
A firm, supportive bed, not a hard one, can do wonders to ease and even prevent bad backs. Only 22% of sufferers had bought a bed classed as �orthopaedic�; while 28% describe their bed support as �medium�. Only 6% of experts would recommend an orthopaedic bed to patients.
Three quarters would be prepared to spend more than �500 on a new bed: compared with just 36% of the �normal� population. Nearly one in 10 would pay more than �2,000 for a new bed to get the comfort and relief they need.
Back pain sufferers are twice as likely as the rest of the population to own a new bed - 50% have beds that are less than five years old compared to the national average of 24%.
88% are satisfied with their choice � but 16% said they would get a better quality one next time; while 9% would opt for something firmer; 5% said they would choose a softer bed and 4% wanted a bigger one.
Sufferers are three times more likely to replace their beds when they no longer feel comfortable (65% compared with just 20%).
31% own a king size bed compared with 11% generally. Separate mattresses zipped together are also popular with couples whose support needs differ or who are easily disturbed by their partner's movements. top
