The Best Game Ever.

I know I geek out a little too much on baseball for some of you... but here I go again. Last night's White Sox game was the best game I have ever attended. Period. Mark Buehrle (my favorite Sox pitcher) threw a No Hitter against the Texas Rangers, and the excitement during the eighth and ninth innings was over the top.

So what made this the best game ever for me?
A few factors:
1. For those of you who do not know, a No Hitter is a rare thing in baseball. It does not even happen every season. 2006 there was one. 2005 there were none.
2. I hate doing things by myself. LP had to go to class and everyone I asked to go with me could not go. But I went by myself and had a great time.
3. Jermaine Dye had a Grand Slam in the same game.
4. Jim Thome had two Home Runs in the same game.
5. I ate TWO hot dogs.

Mark Buehrle needed that No Hitter to help jump start his pitching career again. The White Sox so needed that win since they are having a slow start. And I needed a great night a baseball to wash some of my blues away. Thank God for Baseball.

The Day The Music Died.

My iPod died. It has gone on to a better place. A place where it does not get slap around by me. A place where I don't belittle it for being an Apple Product. A place where it gets some rest from the constant use.

But what about me? What happens to me? I have been walking to work without music. I have started talking to myself (or singing) instead. The people I walk by in the morning think I'm a freak (I just touch my ear pretending I am on my mobile, which I am pretty sure does not work). I have never purchased an mp3 player for myself... this one was a gift. There are so many choices out there and I just have a hard time giving Apple my money. AND I don't really have the money right now to spend on a new mp3 player. Grrrrrr-animals. Sadness.

F-Bombs... My Back Hurts!

This morning I woke up at 4:45 and I was wide awake. This is not normal for me. I went into the TV room and turned on the local news and kind of zoned out on boring news stories. Not sure how it happened... but all of a sudden my back started hurting. It felt like I pinched a nerve. I tried to stretch it out which kind of sort of seemed to help. Then I got in the shower and holy hell it just tightened up and hurt like a bitch. I could not lean over. I was in extreme pain... and there is no Advil, Aleve, not drugs at all in the house. Grrrrrrrr.

So I made it to work since I am scheduled to have a busy day. My ice pack is on. I forgot to bring my lunch. My back still hurts like a bitch. And I am in a cranky mood. Yea for Mondays. F-bombs.

Hope your Mondays are going better than mine...

Thanks Jackie.
