Trevor Guthrie in EspaΓ±ol

listening to... “Cadillac Dress” by soulDecision

I’m actually listening to the Real Media interview Trevor did with a Spanish Radio (DJ Chaco – Monterrey, Mexico). Well, the song just cut off and now we’re back with Trevor, speaking en EspaΓ±ol. Uh-oh, the DJ is speaking English now, but Trevor answered in Spanish. Go Trevor! LOL!

The DJ is speaking in English (for Trevor’s benefit, I think) and Trevor is answering in Spanish for the listeners. It’s just so cute!!! πŸ™‚

And all my Spanish has fled me. Alas! πŸ˜‰

Pictures from Hawaii!

listening to... “Completely” by 98Β­Β°

Kauai ~ April 2004: Woohoo, I’ve finished the pictures from Hawaii! Hopefully everything looks all right. One of these days, I might add the .avi files I did while we were there. πŸ˜‰ We shall see.

And thanks to those who come by and comment…

Luz * Wah * Meesh * Irish

You’re all lovely! πŸ˜€

Heads up on Mark Mulder!

I can’t believe I forgot to mention this!

Funshows.com – According to an email I got: “Mark will be at the Vallejo fairgrounds may 22 2004 5pm as a autograph guest after the game”

The funshows.com website only has this info for that day:
Collectible Expo – Cards-Stamps-Coins & More
May 21-22-23 2004
Vallejo – Solano County Fairgrounds

Unfortunately, I can’t make it. πŸ™ I am attending a wedding that night. Alas! A chance to see Mulder and I can’t take it. Such is life. So if *you* can go, go! And tell him that I said hello. πŸ˜€

And my baseball day is already over…

Notes: Pitchers scoff at questions – A little discussion about the Big Three and the troubles they had a couple of weeks ago. πŸ˜›

I couldn’t find a Zito photo, so another one of Mulder from yesterday will just have to do. πŸ˜›

I didn’t get to watch the beginning of the game because I went to the mall and got my haircut. It’s short! I like it. πŸ˜‰ I watched the game when I got home. They were still down 2-1 when I sat down, but scored soon after. Always fun to watch the boys win. I didn’t get to see Zito pitch though. Alas!

And oops! I forgot to mention my fellow Taurus, Barry Zito, on his birthday. Zito turned 26 on May 13th. Happy Belated, Zito man. πŸ˜€

me with shorter hair...
See, shorter hair. πŸ˜›

Wrap up and more pictures up!

another Mulder pic from today...

I’ve also updated our anniversary page with more photos. My cousin sent me a CD of the pictures they had taken. After some cropping and shrinking, the photos are now up! If you’d like to take a look, you can do so at:

The A’s win and my doggies are clean!

From today’s game. Such concentration…

A win for the A’s and a complete game win for Mark Mulder. What more can I ask for? πŸ˜‰

Doggies got groomed!


Saffy is a total ham when it comes to the camera…


On the other hand, Meggie is quite shy when it comes to the camera…

I had taken pictures of them right after we got home, but my SD card freaked out in the camera and I had to re-format it, which of course meant I lost all the photos I had taken on it. Alas!

I just couldn’t resist one more Mulder picture. πŸ˜‰

Friday is always a good day…

listening to... “Beer and Bones” by John Michael Montgomery
And the A's win! Oakland 6, Kansas City 2 at Kauffman Stadium

Winning Pitcher – Tim Hudson (4-1)
Losing Pitcher – Jimmy Gobble (1-2)

OAK Runs: 6, Hits: 11, Errors: 0
KC Runs: 2, Hits: 6, Errors: 1

Oakland Record: (18-17)

Early offense boosts Hudson – Read about it! πŸ˜‰

I think I watched the first inning, then fell asleep. I woke up in the sixth and had a little to eat while I watched the rest of the game. πŸ˜‰ I even cheered Mecir on. Ye gods! After the A’s scored the four runs in the first inning, I pretty much figured Hudson would hold the Royals, which he did. Of course, Mecir had to make it interesting in the ninth, but he got it done without the Royals scoring. Groovy!

And so the old ride is gone…

It was a little sad taking the Lumina in today. (We didn’t have it with us yesterday when we got the Cherokee.) We drove away and I looked back at the two old rides with perhaps just a little regret. Ah well!

Suits are expensive! And no movie today…

We hit the mall after lunch. The Husband needed a suit, so we shopped for one. The guy at the store was really good. He knows what looks good. Men are lucky though! They buy one suit that can have infinite possibilities. Change the shirt and the tie or go with a sweater type shirt and you’ve got all kinds of outfits. Women have to buy all kinds of things to achieve the same thing. Ah well!

And so we did not go see Troy. I think I want to wait a bit anyway. I never really like seeing movies with huge crowds, especially if the people are obnoxious. πŸ˜›

Saffy at rest...
Here’s a picture of the Saffy dog. Just because…

Movie time?

Troy came out today. We might go out and watch it today. I’m just not sure how I’m going to like the story of the Trojan War without the gods. And no, I don’t want to see it because Brad Pitt apparently looks great in it. And if you can believe this, I don’t want to see it because Orlando Bloom plays the despicable Paris. (I think any man who “takes” another man’s wife has no room to call himself honorable.) I want to see Troy because I’m a Greek mythology freak and I want to see how this movie portrays a story that I know in some detail. (Although it’s been awhile since I’ve read the story.) I hope it’s good!
