Aw, America's greatest past time, BASEBALL!

I LOVE BASEBALL!! Really I do, not just the cute guys in the tight ball pants, but the game! I grew up in it, now I played softball, cause girls didn't play baseball, but I was all around it. My Dad's Dad, Granddaddy Nick, whom I never met, was the first President of Greenwood Dixie Youth, which was a long time ago, my parents have a picture of my Dad's baseball team, with Granddaddy Nick as the coach, my Dad was just a little guy, maybe 9 or 10. Once we got old enough, which I was probably 10 and Nick was probably 6, we started playing at Greenwood, boy did we have some fun, fun times there! The park was small, not too many teams, if you played there you pretty much knew everyone that played there. It was sort of like an extended family. As we got older, my parents got more involved, my Dad actually was the president and any given week day afternoon he could be found on the lawn mower dragging the field and linin it off, getting ready for the night games. Mom help with the concession stand, during Allstars, if we were not playing somewhere and we had a tournament going, you could usually find us taking up the gate money, working the press box or working the concession stand, for $5.00 a game. We would also go watch the Birmingham Barons play, now Im telling my age, but we would go to Rickwood Field and watch, fun times! There was a player that I really liked, his name was George Foussianes, when he got up to bat, everyone would start saying, FOO, FOO, FOO, it was so much fun! Then as I got older and had Trevar I couldn't wait for him to play, neither could the rest of the family, my Dad gave Trevar a baseball jacket and ball cap, before he was even born, we didn't even know if he was a girl or a boy, sure enough, he played from 4 years old to 15 years old, we were at the park ALL THE TIME and loved every minute of it. SO, now here I am 37 years old, yikes, and I still love the game, the Braves, the Barons, and yes even the Cardinals, I'll watch it on TV, it doesn't matter who's playin! The fun thing now is, I am hanging out with a guy that loves the game as much, or more, than I do. Alex plays on the Shockers with Nick, so baseball is every where!! Last year he and I went to Montgomery to watch the Biscuits play the Mississippi, Braves, which his buddy plays on. Also, we keep scorin tickets to the Barons, nothing better than a FREE baseball game. So, tonight on Thirsty Thursday, drinks $1 and $.20 wings, we are GOIN TO THE BALLPARK, and I can't wait!

I'll leave you with a quote from The Great Bambino: "Never let the fear of striking out get in your way" Herman "Babe" Ruth

Second Job, YUCK!

I have said lately how much I hate having a second job, we I do, I haven't been to my second job in a week, but in 1 hour I will have to clock in but on the up side it's only 4 hours. This weekend was so much fun, I love City Stages, how bout it was me and four guys, yahoo, look at me, lol! I was with Alex, Matt, his buddy from IL, Adam, his buddy from college and Tyler, our buddy from Dicks. We had a lot of fun, and now I have to go and be all "Welcome to Dicks, thank you and come again," I am hungry, I had a peach for lunch, which was really good, but I am really hungry! I really want to quit but I really need the extra money. I WANT MY OWN PLACE! Anyway, thats really all I have today, gotta go put on the green and khaki, fun, fun!

See ya on the flip side! :o)

Random Stuff

So, Sunday Alex and I went for a ride on the motorcycle. It was so much fun, I really enjoy sitting on the back of the bike, it's much different than riding in a car, you get to experience things differently. Like the wind, it's really neat to be able to feel the wind, of course not in my hair I do wear a helmet, it's the law, but just to feel the wind and you see things differently, it's like your right there, a bird flew down at us, scary, a squirrel almost ran out in front of us, yikes, you can also smell, yuck, you don't realize how many dead animals are round unless your on a bike. My behind hurt though, you would think with all the padding I have on my big ole butt it wouldn't hurt, but when you ride for about two hours it really starts to wear on you, ouch! The only down side to a bike it that you can't talk, and if you know me you know I like to talk, i think that's why Alex likes riding the bike cause he doesn't have to talk to me, just kidding, I did suggest walkie talkie things in our helmet, he was all, lol real funny. Anyway, it was so much fun, I think everyone should experience it!!

OK, so I am doing our end of the year inventory at SSRC, I HATE IT, I've been working on it for about a week and on top of that today I had a sneeze attack! UGH! So no I feel like crap, my nose is as red as Rodolph's, I could lead Santa's sled tonight, lol! But I really do feel bad! :o(

Have you ever watched "The First 48"? I really like this show, it's kindof sad though. It's a show about detectives solving homicides. It's crazy how they can find the murderers, I love when they catch the bad guy. Everyone doesn't like this show, but I find it very interesting how they catch the bad guys. It is sad that there are so many killings and that they can make a show out of it.

Well, my sinus medicine is starting to kick in, I am getting very sleepy.

That's all for now, see ya!

Packed Weekend

Um, where do I start, lets see, ok Friday I didn't have to work that night at Dick's Sporting Good, which was awesome! So, I went to Wal-Mart and then rocked out with Casey and Trevar to Rock Band, which I must say was a lot of fun! We totally rocked Sabotage by Beastie Boys, me on guitar, Casey on drums and Trevar rap the vocals. I think we should have a concert! Then hung out with Alex and a couple of Dick's (sporting goods) employees, fun times! Saturday, went to work from 8:00-2:00, got off and headed to Thatcher's 1st birthday party! Man he got lots of stuff! It's always so awesome to see a baby with all the people around him that love him so much. I remember when Trevar was little and we'd have parties with tons of people, some times I would just stand back and think how lucky he is to have all these people love and care for him, same with Thatcher, I was looking around at the party and he is a lucky little boy and cute, oh my gosh, he is too cute!! Hope he likes his Little People Farm that his cousin Stephie got him! Then I headed back to Dick's Sporting Goods to climb the rock wall, which is really harder than it looks, didn't do so good like I did last time. Ran into a couple of people that I haven't seen in years, funny thing when I see people I haven't see in a while, they always ask, how are you doing and I say I am doing very good and they say are you really. Well heck yeah I am! I guess people think I suppose to still be upset over my marriage not working out, nah, I think I am much happier and much, much better off out of that marriage! Then Alex took me to dinner and to hear a band, Saturday night was too much fun! Sunday, again Dick's Sporting Goods, only from 9:00-1:00 then off to the Fish Bowl. Alex and Trevar's flag football team, Fire and Brimstone, went to the super bowl of flag football, The Fish Bowl. We lost 19-13, they played really good. Got wet, got cold then got hot, crazy weather! Left there and went to Shockers baseball, which they won the first game, when I got there is started raining, bad, so Jenny and I ran to the car with her huge umbrella and the wind was blowing so hard it almost took our umbrella, we were laughing so hard, then off to On Tap to hang with the team, funny when you get a bunch of guys together after a game how they go over very play and I can't usually remember any plays, which I am usually talkin, surprise! So that was my fun, packed weekend, I am tired but I had fun so I'll just suck it up!

Oh yeah, trying to figure out this twitter stuff, it is really confusing me. I want to do it, but I think Im too stupid! Mollie tried to explain how to get it set up, but I am too dumb to figure it out. Maybe I can get someone to help me!

Until next time, peace out and word to your mother!
