Twice baked potatoes

Ingredients 3 large baking potatoes 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 1/2 tablespoons milk 1 1/2 tablespoons butter 1 cup sour cream 5 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, grated (about 1 1/4 cups) 1/2 tablespoon garlic salt Salt and pepper 3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled 1/4 cup finely chopped green onion Directions Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Wash the potatoes and pierce them with a fork. Rub the potatoes with the olive oil and place them on a jellyroll pan or a large cookie sheet with a rim. Bake the potatoes for 45 minutes to an hour, or until done. Remove the potatoes from the oven and cut them in half lengthwise. Set aside. Reduce the temperature of the oven to 350 degrees F. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, scoop out the potato flesh into a large electric mixing bowl. Add the milk, butter, sour cream, cheese, garlic salt, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix until creamy. Divide the mixture evenly and spoon it back into the potato shells. Return the potatoes to the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and garnish with the bacon and green onion. Cook Notes: I learned the hard way not to wrap the potatoes in foil before baking. It softens the shells and they will fall apart not good! Baking them unwrapped makes the shells stronger for scooping out the potato flesh later.

Stupid makes me CRAZY!!!

I sat through a 2 FREAKING HOUR game of Minor League Softball!!!!!!!!!!

They are supposed to last 1.5 hours tops.

This game got over so late, that my 9 year old daughter didn't even have time to shower in order to be to bed by 10 pm since we got home at 9:45!!!

The pitchers can't catch. The catchers can't catch. So a typical "at bat" goes something like this:

Pitcher pitches the ball. It may or may not be close to the strike zone. The catcher misses the ball and chases it to the backstop. Catcher throws ball to pitcher. Pitcher doesn't catch the ball and chases it back to the short stop. Short stop already picked up the ball, so she throws it to the pitcher. Pitcher doesn't catch the ball and chases it half way to home plate before she catches up to it and picks it up. Then she walks back to the pitcher's plate, and we start the process over.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then, no one can get anyone out, or throw enough strikes to strike someone out.

The unlimited inning is the song that never ends.

Tonight, the umpire let the team bat until they were 3 points ahead. There were finally 3 outs made after 20+ minutes. Then, he walked off the field and started going home!

The home team is getting ready for their last at bats and the umpire is not there.

I walked over and told the umpire that BOTH teams have to get their unlimited "at bats", and he surprisedly said, "they DO?"

I lost it.

I muttered out loud, " and they have YOU umpiring softball?'

Stupid makes me crazy!

Some of my friends tried to reason with me that it is his first time doing it and he is just a kid.
No KIDDING!

They are ALL kids that umpire these games.

If it's his first time doing it, then SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE THERE TO MAKE SURE HE KNOWS WHAT RULES HE HIS CALLING!

I DON"T need to be sitting at these stupid games for 2 and a half hours!!!! They are torturous enough as it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At least teach the stupid kids that umpire when the game time is up and when it is time to call a freaking game over.
