Game day #3

wqe have all been praying for rain and snow, because everyone seems to be too tired to has other things they want to do today. And i guess all of us are on the short list to H-E double hockey sticks, because it is sunny, warm and no sign on snow at all..
DAMN!!!
But i am pretty sure they are not going to make me pitch, so it doesn't really matter to me. I'll go play, what the heck..
The Roickies are down one now with a loss to the Cardinals last night. We can still pull out the series with a win tonight.
They are painting the town purple. Well ok, not the whole town. Well not even a whole street, but for about 4 blocks in front of the stadium they painted a purple stripe bow the road in celebration for the season opener tomorrow. I wish it wasn't a day game, but it is. The celebrations start at about 11am downtown and go until 2. the game is a 2:35 start, i think. I was considering taking the day off and going down to help support my favorite baseball team, but i think i am going to come to work instead. Don't worry there is nothing wrong with me, and yes i checked, I don't have a fever... I am just not sure that i want to go down there at 11 and then what am i going to do at 2? I don't have a ticket and it is sold out. Last time i tried to get into a sold out game down there, i ended up having my camera stollen. I learned my lesson, yes sir-ee bob, not going to make my parents buy me a third camera.. I mean really. there is a line. :)

We never made it to the artist yesterday. nope, didn't go. I didn't feel like it, my boyfriend didn't feel like it and we were starving. So we went to the grocery store instead and got the makings for a great homemade pizza. He makes the best pizza crust.. and watched Big Brother. I can't believe that Adam (for one) is still on the show. I would have pegged him for a short timer for sure, and that he is the first to get a double HOH. I think it was great if they kicked Josh out after a week of letting him think he was staying. But something tells me he had an idea it was going to be him. He was a little too rehearsed with Julie after the eviction, I think. but he is a little sneeky boy and I am glad he is gone. I know Chelcia was probably bummed to see him come in. I guess he didn't take her advice from when she was leaving.

And I can't believe some of these contestants on the Biggest Looser, I mean they look like totally different people. The woman in Pink is going to win i think. and it remember that she did most of her training at home seeing she was kicked off like the third week or something. She look amazing and she has lost over 100 in like 12 weeks.. crazy!!!

One week from tomorrow we will be on a jet plane to see the panic boys rip it up.. which reminds me, i have not seen the set lists from the past two nights.. must go check, you can wait here. I will be right back.
Oh you didn't think i would leave you hanging did you??? good, i knew you trusted me..

Yeah, I am sure we all thought the same thing, Boy night one was full of new tunes. I think they played the whole Free Somehow album that night. but holy guacamolie, did you see night two, well scroll back up and take a gander. They knew they dropped some pretty heavy flies with all the new tunes, so they shot out a home run on night two.. But i am a Ribs and Whiskey, Low Spark, Thought sausage fan.
Although i wouldn't be upset if i got a Gretta on my birthday. But speaking of my birthday, I am a little nervous that they are going to do the same kind of thing in Chicago.. Play all the new stuff on night one, which any other time would be fine, do them get them out of the way for the next two nights, but not for MY BIRTHDAY!!! But i am counting the whole weekend, but my actual birthday show?? don't want it to be a complete throw away..
So, anyone with a direct line to JB, let him know the deal with that.
