Wednesday TV

So, today, as of tonight, is the most exciting night on television. Not only do we get to see Big Brother, (I accidentally read that stupid BB blog and got a HUGE spoiler that i would have rather not have known until it happens) AND SURVIVOR!!!
OMG, i am so glad that our softball game is not tonight.. i would die, waiting to get home to watch tv...
So practice went well yesterday. i am still pitching AND i realized that it feels really good to hit a ball with a bat. You can really get some aggression out.. and what a cool sound too. It has been a long time since i swung a bat.
I TOTALLY don't feel like working today. I have been pretty vocal on a yahoo group today as well as surfing for all kinds of stuff that i made you watch.. (LOVE THAT PURSE SONG)
But for the most part, i think i have checked out already. only about 2 more hours of waisting time then i can go home and practice pitching and then vegging out in front of the TV. my favorite past time.

Just a friendly reminder that this is the very last day of winter 2008. Prepare for spring, it comes tomorrow. I think it is time to get the garden tilled and even plant some cold loving items. We planted our spinach and peas last week.

and for all you useless trivia fans heres the deal-e-o...

Today is Iraq War Day. Five years ago today, U.S. and British forces attacked Iraq. (BOOOOOO HISSSSSSSSS)

Today is Pet Passport Day. On this day in 2000, a Shetland sheepdog named Lucy became the first dog to fly into Great Britain under a new pet passport law. The dog flew from Amsterdam to Heathrow Airport outside London. The new passport law allowed cats and dogs from selected European countries to enter into Britain without having to spend six months in quarantine provided they meet certain criteria. (interesting…wonder if the same goes for Pete Doherty- I mean he has got to smell like a dog, and we know he looks like one, so I was just wondering…)

Today is Let's Laugh Day. (hahahaha, heehehehe, hohoho- hey what did you call me..)
