total insanity

nina's school has cancelled school on friday because the cardinals won the world series.

now i'm as happy as the next gal - but THAT just seems a bit over the top!!!

and THAT'S a winner...

the first world series i ever remember was in 1985 - the I-70 series between the cardinals and the royals. i was in the third grade and my teacher was the biggest cardinals fan. she taught us all the words and every morning we would stand outside of school and sing "the heat is on" to the rest of the school. we mad construction paper cardinal hats. when the series teams were final - we had a whole school day without any real work. it was nothing but cardinals crafts and seek and finds.

we lost that series. i remember that it was a bummer.

nina's in the third grade. she was aware of the series for the first time this year. today they had a free dress down day for cardinals spirit and she wore her pujols shirt. and she stayed up with me tonite to watch the ninth inning and the cardinals win the series.

it sure turned out better for her.

THAT'S A WINNER FOLKS! GO CRAZY!!

ps. what was that nonsense i read a couple months ago about "the curse of the old bush stadium standing in our way of a world series win?" guess we stomped on that curse real quick!

happy birfday to my seeester....

i love you no matter how old you are!

Go Cards Take 2!

Go Cards!

rolen and i would like to say - "go cards!"

please note that i have changed my outfit (on the right) for the world series....

i met d.b. wong!!

okay - it's hard to see - that's the trouble with camera phones. but that's me, d.b. wong from law and order: svu, and one of my coworkers. i swear - it really is him.

and he's really short in real life....

yeah yeah yeah

we're going to the world series. so what.

now i have to share our anniversary suite at harrah's with a baseball game...

see my pretty new necklace?

this is what jeffy gave me for our anniversary. he did good this year. except mine doesn't say "monica". mine has our wedding date on it.

he got a new leather wallet.

happy anniversary jeffy!

3 years ago today i managed to beat jeff into submission for good...

i mean - um. 3 years ago today jeff and i got married and began our happily ever after.

;-D

happy anniversary hunny.

dear gilmore girls costume picker outers...

luke's new hat looks stupid. and i'm on to you. don't think i don't know what you're doing by switching hats....

new personal slogan

after seeing a notice on a church billboard every day for a month or so and mis-reading it almost EVERY time i pass it, i've come up with the following new slogan for me to live by:

i oppose human clowning.

mickey d's monopoly game

if you are hopelessly addicted to the monopoly game at mcdonalds - and i confess - i fall for it every year - here is a list of the rare pieces - so if you come across one of them - you know you can win if you can just track down the other one/two/three!!!

exciting news...

I just wanted to share this with you all. Bob, my brother-in-law who has spent the last 9 months or so in Iraq, stepped foot on American soil yesterday and arrived safely in California!

We're glad he's back safe - his unit lost 4 soldiers in hostile attacks this summer.

He expects to be back to Wisconsin by Tuesday.

In the meantime, his first order of business was going shopping for some clothes to last until he got home - since all he has is desert cami's....

He didn't say it - but I'm sure his second order of business was finding a really good meal.

dear new writers of gillmore girls...

if loralei ends up with icky christopher and not with luke who we all KNOW she belongs with - i will be giving up all hope and belief that i have had since a child in "true love" and "happily ever after"...

you wouldn't want to do that to someone would you? i'm fragile. i might just crack....

is it me?

What do you think?? Be honest now...

update

the woman who lives next to the home where the guy was busted last week thinks that it was drug related but really doesn't know much.

i also found out that both she and the lazyass neighbor took in the dog that bit me in the last 2 weeks when it was out roaming around....
