Sleep, Work, Clean, Pack ...

Those items are on my agenda this weekend ...

I am going to go home and do a few things around the house tonight, then go to bed early. I have to work in the morning on a project ... then I would like to go home and finish cleaning the house. I MAY have company when I return from my vacation to Northern Minnesota and won't have time to clean up when I return. Hence the packing ...

It is my 10 year high school reunion next weekend. The DS is having a birthday & party. My cousin is coming home from KS. 2 of my special "redneck" friends are coming up so we can play & drink.

It's going to be a busy 5 days.

Anyone have any plans for the weekend?

Are you Normal ???

It doesn't hurt to take a hard look at yourself from time to time, and this should help get you started.

During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the criteria was which defined whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.

"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub."

"Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."

"No." said the Director, "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"





DID YOU PASS THE TEST?

Updated Power Rankings ...

Courtesty of Fox Sports ... click here to see the Beloved BoSox listed as #1 ...

Also, from my day-to-day calendar ...

On this day in Baseball, 1984

Although he has stolen only one base all season, Dusty Baker is unstoppable on the base paths as he steals second, third, and home in the Giants 12-9 victory over the Reds at Candlestick Park.

I wish I could have seen that ... sounds amazing!

Well Wishes ...

Unfortunately the BoSox lost last night to the Mariners ... but we can turn it around and take 2 of 3 ... I have faith.

Uh ... I am boring today ... I have nothing to say ...

I have a headache so I think that is part of the problem. I am going to go tanning tonight and relax in the coolness of my house ... gotta love central air when it's 100 degrees outside!

Smokin Hot !!!

My Josh Beckett is wonderful ... Win number 11 on Sunday !!!

Pap's closed it out ... he's superb ...

Tek homered in the 8th ....

Now we are off against the mariners !

I had to watch the MFY game on Fox on Saturday ... GOOD JOB GIANTS !!! Gawd, I was sooo happy to see them lose ... if I have to watch the MFY, I want to watch them lose ... It was a good day !

Peace ....

and quiet is not a part of my life right now.

Last night I did a good deed, stopped at the Goodwill and dropped off about 12 bags of clothes and some boxes of children's toys and romance novels. I am working on de-cluttering my life so that was a start in the right direction.

Last night was an off night for the BoSox ... however, the Colorado Suckies totally dominated the MFY's ... clean sweep ... amazing ... I love it ... 10.5 games ... woohoo !

My Boston-Boys of Summah are off to the West coast for a 6 game stint in San Diego & Seattle ... GOOD LUCK MY SWEETS !!!

Well, I am hoping for a quiet weekend at home ... I'm not sure if MG is coming to town or not ... is supposed to but I am not holding my breath. Alone time at home sounds pretty good to me though ... catch up on some reading, watch a movie ... it's supposed to be pretty hot out so maybe some frozen blended alcoholic beverages on the patio would be a good choice ...

Tonight I am off to get a manicure & pedicure ... maybe a Boston Crimson color on the toesies ... we'll see ... I prefer pinks in the summah time ...

Anyone got any good plans for the weekend?

11-0 ... Way to rock the bats BoSox!

So last night I went to a movie with some lady friends from work ~ we went to see Knocked Up and it was friggin hilarious !

Moving on, can you imagine my surprise when I see the final box score for the Red Sox / Braves matchup is 11-0 ?? !! ?? !!

Fan-Fruckin-Tastic ! Seriously ... a 5 run lead at the end of the 1st ... Rock On my boys of summer !

Tavarez has really impressed me this year .... I wasn't all that keen on him previously, but I can admit that I am changing my tune ...

Anyhow, you can read the article HERE

Once again, Josh kept his promise ...

If you are wondering what promise he kept, look HERE .

10th win for Sir Beckett ... I so love this man ...

"With Beckett likely to make just one more start before the American League All-Star squad is announced on July 1, the right-hander looks like a near lock to be selected among the best of the best for the first time in his career. "

This will make me so happy ... I voted for all of my BoSoxBoys to make the all star team ... no doubt about it !

Nice article can be read here

On this day in baseball ...

~ 1973 ~

In different games, Reds' Pete Rose (a single against the Giants) and Dodger Willie Davis (home run off the Braves) both collect their 2,000th career hit.

SanFran-tastic Sweep by the BoSox !

Jebus ... prayers do get answered ... all I asked for was a beautiful Giants sweep this weekend, and my prayer came true ...

So ... the crappy-ass Barry Bonds got another homer - and off to my Wakey ... but you know what ? It wasn't nearly enough to break up the 3 game sweep ...

HOLY CRAP-OLA ! Pedroia is on FIRE !!!! 5 hits in 5 at bats ...

I didn't see it ... so it's hard for me to say ... but I still call BullShit to the ejection of Papi ...

Yoooooooooouk !!! Youkilis has played 114 consecutive errorless games at first base as of Friday night. His last error at first came on July 4, 2006. Youk is five games shy of the club record set by Stuffy McInnis ...

Now we are off to Atlanta .... GOOD LUCK ! Stomp those Braves !!!!

This made me smile ...

This is funny ... and very true !


Overheard at the beach ...

WTF is going on ????

Well, my sweet Josh Beckett ... I am sorry that you had to have that dreaded game added to your W/L column ... this just isn't going the way I want it to.

WTF is up with the offense?? Do you boys need to get a massage and get some relief so you can calm the hell down and start playing some good fruckin ball??

Let me tell you what I want ~ I want you to hit the damn ball, hard ... and run like hell, and score mega runs .... is that to much to ask for ?

DAMN ! While we are in a freaking slump those bullshit MFY's won another game ... I can't have that ... lol ...

On a side note, I kinda got sunburned around the arm pit area and it hurts to wear a bra cause it's rubbing ... not too happy about that right now.

Let's STOMP the Giants ...

I'm a little late here ...

Ya know, sometimes life doesn't let you do what you want, and you have to be responsible and do the right thing ... so I am dedicating my break this afternoon to a quick note about last night's game.

I just want to jump up and down, kiss Wake, and give him a big ol' hug ... I am hoping that last night's game against the Colorado Suckies is our turning point ... the point where we start winning again ... the point where we can hopefully grow the lead between us and the MFY's ...

How in the hell do they get to win 7 friggin games in a row ? Why on earth do they get to play all the "lesser" teams in MLB? Who is George Steinbrenner sleeping with?

Anyhow ... Good luck tonight Schill ... let's try for a no hitter tonight ... hell, if the Tigers can do it, we can too.

Personality Analysis ...

I found this to be somewhat interesting - go ahead and give it a try ...

Visual DNA quiz

You have to choose 1 picture on every page, at the top they tell you what the criteria is, and at the end it gives you your "visual DNA"

Time to catch up ...

I have been busy - busy doing nothing.

The DS left on Saturday morning with his Papa. I was crying like crazy, and went back to bed - I slept for about 9 hours and nobody called me to say they got home safe - so I called and checked and they were all busy doing stuff. I just sat in bed sad and lonely all day ... I missed my baby ...

The DS rode his bike about 2 blocks last night - BY HIMSELF. OMG !!! I couldn't believe it - I wasn't sure he would be ready - but she thought she would try it. He knew where he was going - to the baseball field - and it's a safe town - but, he's my little boy !!!

The BoSox are back home today - with the Rockies coming to town - at least we can use the DH in this interleague game ... I, as always, am praying for a sweep - and hope to the Big Guy above that the MFY's lose, lose, lose ...

I am so grateful for the lead we have in our division, but I want it to be a bit bigger ... so I hope we can do it.

Have a good day ..........

I am overwhelmed with emotion this week. I can't find the time to write, or find anything to say. I am keeping things bottled up inside and working through the stress.

To top off my emotional scale, the DS is leaving in 2 days for the summer. He is going to my parents where he is going to have a grand time of hanging out with both sets of grandparents, fishing, swimming, boating, go-karting, PS2-ing, being with his "Northern" friends, and SO much more.

I can survive these summers alone. People ask me how I can let him go that long and I can honestly say that him having the opportunity to do all of the things I mentioned above makes it worth it. Otherwise the poor kid is stuck in daycare all day everyday while I work - which would you choose?

WHEW - that felt good to get off my chest.

I am still bummed that the Sox have lost 3 in a row - but we will turn it around. And we are still 11.5 games up on the smelly MFY's.

For some reason, I just want to say, I don't like MySpace. I love Facebook.

Pathetic ...

A friend of mine shared this picture with me ... and all I could say was how true ...
