I twittered about signing up for Aussie’s Blind Draw 4s this Saturday morning, and I’m so excited for it. They randomly put you with three other players to play a tournament–sounds so fun! If I wasn’t playing volleyball, though, I’d be art attacking, because I found out this morning that I can hot sauce on…
