Woohoo, the A’s won! 😉 I’ve set up my mobile to get game alerts, so when the A’s game was over, my little Razr made a cute noise and vibrated. 😆 You’ve got to love technology. I do!
Tomorrow we toil through a Friday workday, then head to the Coliseum for the A’s/Giants game. Yeehaw! The suite (loge #60 for this game) will be full this time around. Workmates and friends. Fun stuff. I hope everyone has a good time. And I hope the A’s kick ass. Yah!
Rats, I’m so behind on emails. Why? I have no idea. And yet here I am blogging. Such is my life.
So looking forward to tomorrow! 😀

I stayed home from work because of crazy stomach, but the game wasn’t on tv out here in the freakin’ Central Valley. Grrrr! Oh well, I got to watch some of the Cardinals game, so my baseball watching was satisfied. They won too. Most cool. 😉
Happy Father’s Day!
19 June 2005
with my parents, with the hubby, bottom pics of various folks at my parents’ house…
We spent the day in San Leandro. Aunts, Uncles, and cousins mingled throughout the house. My grandmother got a game of mahjong going in my sister’s old room. I ate a lot of food. Yummy!

flower shots from around the house and garden…
It was great seeing my family. I miss them. We talked a little about my sister’s upcoming wedding. I got to show off my camera and my phone to my cousin and his daughters. 😆 I love being able to bust out my gear. Yeah, I’m a little show-off. What can I say? 😉
Oh yes, and my boys won. Woohoo! And congrats to Michael Campbell for his win at the US Open. Yes, I actually watched it. And yes, I was cheering Campbell on. I have a soft spot for the New Zealand folks. 😉

Woohoo, the A’s won! 😀 I saw maybe an inning at most of this game. Oh well. 😛

The crabs arrived in that box… they waited on the table for us… utensils ready… crabs in pieces…
We headed over to Livermore for a homestyle crab feed. The husband had crabs shipped from Maryland for Father’s Day. Since FedEx doesn’t deliver on Sundays, we had Father’s Day for his dad today. (Works better for me since we have to go to my parents’ tomorrow.)
I ate more crabs than I thought I would! They were yummy! I love the fact that I get to eat with my hands. And right now my hands still smell like that Old Bay seasoning. I’ve washed my hands at least five times since dinner. Ye gods!

The memorial garden (pics 1, 2, and 4) for Weebee and Trixie… a random flower (pic 3)
The big dogs, Weebee and Trixie, now reside in rock homes in the garden. We visited them and remembered them with smiles.

The squirrel…
The in-laws leave peanuts for the neighborhood squirrels. The little creatures grab their goodies when they get the chance and I actually got some good shots. I even have a little movie with the squirrel going in and taking a peanut. Pretty cool! Oh, the things that amuse me. 😆
Dreams
13 June 2005
“Nothing on But the Radio” – Gary Allan
I had a restless night of sleep I kept waking up. When I only had about two hours of sleeptime left, I had strange dreams.
First up, I was in a restaurant or something and I saw Sarah Lane in the distance. I guess we knew each other because I picked up my purse and went over to chat with her. We laughed like we were friends from school or something. I can’t remember what we talked about.
Then the dream slightly shifted and I was hanging out with Kevin Smith (“Ares” on Xena and Hercules). We were having a great time, then the dream faded into something else.
Is it weird to dream about dead people?
The husband said that I probably dreamt about Kevin Smith because I associated Sarah with a Kevin and I just picked the Kevin I adored the most. It might make sense, eh?

I love the A’s bunches, eh?
The A’s had the day off today but the Cardinals thought it would be nice to play and lose today. Grrr! Oh well. And Tim Hudson lost today too. Poor baby! 🙁
I was going to take a picture of my new Mark Mulder bobblehead, but I’ll save that for another day. 😆 I ordered it from the Cardinals website last week or so, along with my Cardinals bracelets, which have yet to arrive. Blah! I want them before our game in July. I’m sure I’ll have them before them. And then I shall be one of those detestable fans who cheers for the visiting team. 😛 Sucky of me, eh?
