Stay Active, my friends.

Stay thirsty?  No .. stay active, my friends. 

I ended up joining the RA badminton club last week.  I joined late but better late than never.  I have played almost every day now and I have to say I'm glad I joined.  The other summer club that I was thinking of joining wasn't as fun - attendance was down and the quality of players had dropped as well.  It was tough finding a good game to play so I decided not to join.  I may drop in just to say hi but won't play there.

The club has dedicated badminton courts so you are never confused which line is in or out.  :)  The club members play with feather birds which takes a bit of getting used to.  My serves were an inch short and my drops are either too high or short as well.  Oh yeah, if you get smashed at, it hurts.  :)  For every game, we have to contribute one bird each.  I tried to sneak in a half used bird but my friend told me that the rule is to contribute a brand new bird for each game.  Darn. :P

Some nights I'm consistent and other nights, I'm just not getting it.  But I never knew how much I enjoyed playing until now.  I am considering joining the rest of the year but it's a hefty $500!  It's cheap considering the Mandarin Badminton Club in Markham costs around $600 a year.

I have been shopping around for a club in Markham/Toronto.  If anyone wants to play, let me know.

I started the Wilton Decorating Basics course last weekend and I already tried making cupcakes from scratch.  They turned out pretty good.  I shared them with my co-workers as I couldn't eat all 12 of them myself.

Anyway .. back to work.
