Both the A’s and Cardinals lost today, so no love from the world of baseball for me. Alas!

We left work early today for two reasons: the air conditioning guy was going to check our air conditioning and the hubby had a dentist appointment. All is well? The air conditioning is on right now and the house is cool and the husband is a bit sore.

Why can’t it just cool down here?! Bah.

A win for Mulder! :)

My A’s didn’t play today. Alas! But Mulder and the Cardinals played and I got to listen on the way home. (Thank goodness for MLB on XM Radio!) It was Mulder’s 15th win, so he deserves a little mention today, eh? Oh, and he got a hit too. 😆

I had the weirdest dream… (more…)
