UP TOO EARLY (for me) ON A TUESDAY…

listening to... “Give it to You” by Jordan Knight

I feel as though I’ve been neglectful to my weblog. I think it’s because I posted to my livejournal the other day and only posted a little baseball stuff yesterday. Hmmm.

So yes, I’m listening to Jordan Knight. I’m laughing at myself a bit, yet I’m enjoying the music. 😉

CONGRATULATIONS TO RACHEL AND CURT

Sounds like the Ohio wedding went well. I would like to wish my friend and her new husband good times and a long life together. 🙂

PROPS TO THE PEANUT GALLERY AND TAGGERS

I’m sure I’ll miss someone, but thanks to the following for coming by and reading (and commenting!): AP Photo Person (woohoo, groovy Zito pic! thank you!!!), Irish (I’m waiting to get more pictures of Nike and I’ll definitely post them), Val (dreaming of Ethan, eh? Yeah, I want a dream about Colby!), Meesh (woohoo, GROOVAY pics!!! I love them!!!), Jen (I’m praying that they keep Eric. I should be so very sad if they don’t…), Vikkicar (I hope all is well with you, it’s never easy going to funerals)…

LEARNING CSS STUFF

I’m thinking of doing a Charles Mesure site. Actually, I’m working on a Charles Mesure site. I’ve started the layout stuff and I’m doing something different and using CSS and DIV things and even though I don’t really know what I’m doing, I’m having fun! LOL! And it looks pretty good too. I like it. I just need to figure out where I’m going to upload it. I think it’s going on walelia.com. Maybe at thezone.walelia.com, since that subdomain seems to stay online more than the main domain. I should put at kiari.com, but I don’t have much webspace on that domain. Of course, I could move someone. But who? I’ve already moved soulDecision (another site that needs a revamp!) and I don’t want to move anyone Xena/Herc related since “Kiari” is my Herc/Xena fangirl site. Oh, dilemnas! Hmm, maybe I could move Jensen? Or Carlos? I have too many men! 😉

It’s nearing the time I usually switch layouts for the weblog, but I like this Charles one too much. I’ll probably switch to a Mulder layout at the end of March. Especially if I get good Mulder photos from Spring Training or something. 😉 I want to try out my new skills on this weblog. LOL! But now I need to spiffy up my graphics. 😉

A flower in my parents' backyard

I took the picture above on Saturday at my parents’ house. I love using the macro function on my camera. LOL!

Spring Training Notes 2004

Mulder back on track Thank goodness! 😉 Oh, and Huddy got a new tattoo? Go boy! For his little girl, how sweet. 😀

Last days of ‘drudgery’ for A’s – Sounds like the fellas are ready for some action!

WOOHOO FOR ROTK!!!

I am so happy! Clean sweep. Most WONDERFUL!!! 😀 I wrote down all the winners and soon saw a pattern of ROTK winning every category nominated. AWESOMELY AWESOME! 😀

I was a bit sad that Mr. Johnny Depp didn’t get the Oscar for Pirates of the Caribbean. 🙁 But all in all, a good Oscar night…

DREAMS BEFORE WAKING…

The very last dream I had before I woke up this morning was a spring training dream. I was checking out hotel facilities and prices. Weird!

The dream before that was a work dream. Dreadful! Something about people working overtime even though they don’t work there anymore. Yeah, weird!

One of the lists I’m on is getting political. I am all for debating back and forth about issues that will eventually affect all of us, but why would you want to do it on a Xena list? I know, just hit the “delete” button, but geez! If I wanted to hear political opinions, I would join a political email group, right? But since I want to hear about Xena-related stuff, I joined a Xena list. Perhaps I should be thankful for the non-entertainment stuff on the entertainment list, but I’m not.

Page 3 – Rocking to the sounds of Zito

And here’s a great piece of Barry Zito Trivia: He uses both hands. Though this Lefty is known for his dirty curve ball, he plays guitar with his right hand. An article by Alysse Minkoff. Go read it, it’s cool. I think I must be secretly in love with Barry Zito. Yeah, that’s it. 😉

Mulder missed another day. 🙁 Back spasms. Alas, alas!

FRIDAY, AHHH…

listening to... “Bring on the Men” by Linda Eder

I love this song! 😉

from the DA ep '411 on the DL'

I posted a slightly dramatic entry to my livejournal. Why do I have a livejournal? LOL! Actually, it’s pretty cool and I get to comment on other livejournals, like Sarah’s. She’s a groovy gal. Next Xena con I attend, I’m saying howdy to her. 😀

BASEBALL

Jen, I should be very sad too if the A’s don’t hold onto Chavez. I think I will join you in the crying. It would force me to see the reality of the A’s and I refuse! I keep holding on to the hope that my boys will be together for as long as humanly possible. I’m such a dreamer!

Zito and Rhodes

Hey look, it’s Zito! 😀 I’d post a Mulder photo, but I can’t find any yet. Blah!

It’s Harden’s turn with A’s – An article on Rich Harden. Such a cutie. Oh, and a pitcher with lots of potential. Oh yeah…

LENT HAS SNUCK UP ON ME

Yes, for those Catholics out there, it’s Lent. As part of my non-practicing Catholic profile, I’ve decided not to give up anything for the 40 days. Actually, I’ve been in a religious quandry of late. Until recently, I’ve kept my religion in the background. It was there, I believed, I didn’t give it much thought. It was just one of those things I accepted in my life, no matter how contradictory or hypocrital the INSTITUTION was. Of course, not going to church and not really practicing helped to keep it all the background.

I will never say that I don’t believe in a higher being or energy. I love the mystery of it. And I believe that if religion guides people to lead good lives, then go for it! But if organized religion “guides” people to believe in discrimination, then how can I accept that? I cannot.

Isn’t it funny that some people in jail claim to “find Jesus?” But once out the door, they leave him behind. I hate to think that the thought of Jesus or anything forgiving and good only lives in the confines of jail cell. What a horrible thought!

And what is faith? What is spirtuality? These are the questions in my mind, when I take the time to think of them…

TV STUFF

Survivor All Stars – Well, I can’t say I’m surprised Richard Hatch got the torch snuff. It was inevitable, of course. But man, I was nervous for my Colby! He really needs to watch his back. And I don’t want to see Ethan go either. Can I just say that even though Boston Rob is arrogant and manipulative, he’s growing on me. 😉 But I didn’t like his comment on Colby (“Colby, yeah,” he later scoffs. “He’s not as tough as you think, ladies.”), even though I did laugh. Horrible! 😛

American Idol – I was very glad for this week’s two winners. I didn’t like that other girl that the judges liked. Neither did the husband. I thought it was awesome she didn’t even make the top three. LOL! Too bad for her. 😛 I’m so mean.

Meggie!

Spring Training 2004 Notes

Mulder among the aching – Well, Mulder better get this tight back loose! He must be healthy for this season. HE MUST!
