Moonlit Jazz

Since I’ve got all these cyber husbands, I thought it only right to declare my love for the one I’m actually married to. Doy! 😀

Love you baby!

MONDAY NOT SO BLUE

Should I even say this? It wasn’t too bad at work. I was finished in a timely manner and I wasn’t stressed. I guess I just want it to be Friday. I guess I wonder if anyone will notice that I’m not going to be there. [insert evil laugh here]

I had fun showing off my new Blackberry 6510. And I just love the device. It’s groovay!

Here’s something funny from the Who’s Using Blackberry page:

Barry Zito, Cy Young award winner
“While on the road with the team, I like to stay in constant touch with my friends and family via email. BlackBerry provides me with easy access to my email in a small handheld so I don’t have to lug around or dial into a computer.”

Neat-oh, eh?

LOVE OUT TO…

Krisann, Lauren, Jen, and Sharon. I love knowing people are reading my weblog. I think that means I love you all. 😉 LOL!

You know, it’s one of those clique things. 😉 Maybe I should “divorce” RTG in the other clique and ask for WGL. Then I’d be consistent on the marriage thing. At least online. LOL! But there’s just something about having RTG. I’m sure if his other fans saw that he was taken, they’d be JEALOUS. Just like I’m jealous that someone got Mark Mulder. Alas!

Remember, it’s all in fun. 😀

SUCCESS! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED: DRESS PURCHASED

My cousin found her wedding dress and plunked down a hunk of money for it. Actually, the price wasn’t too bad and the dress is most lovely. Wow, she’s getting married!

I wish I had had such a nice lady helping me when I was wedding dress shopping ten years ago…

DOMAIN WOES…

This subdomain and my walelia.com domain are both experiencing technical difficulties. But if you’re reading this, then it’s been fixed. 😀 My email is still working, apparently. I did a test email from a yahoo account to my blackberry and I got the email just fine. But I can’t access this site and walelia.com. ALAS!

Today is the shopping for wedding dress day. It’s been such a long time since I’ve gone looking for wedding dresses (ten years?), so this is going to be fun. Now, I’m not going to be trying on the dresses, mind you. Tis not my wedding. LOL! I get to watch my cousin try on the dresses and hopefully find something she likes. 😀

Do they let you take pictures of that kind of stuff? I wanna take pictures!

I totally missed the time change. I was taking a nap and woke up before 0200 hrs. I didn’t realize the time had already changed! So now here I am, up and about and it’s not even 0900 hrs yet. 😛 And I feel all right, I think.

SO MANY DOGS

It’s really weird having to deal with six dogs instead of two. Giz the runt is so MOUTHY! He barks at everything. And he looks so funny when he does it. His legs are spread out and his front paws push off so that he jumps with each bark. So weird! Whenever he barks, my Saffy thinks she needs to bark and suddenly the dogs are in an uproar. Gizmo is such an instigator!

NO MORE BASEBALL

Even though I could give a rat’s ass about the World Series, it was still baseball being played. And now I’m sad that the series is over. I’m sad that baseball season is OVER. What the hell am I going to blog about? I want to talk about Mulder and Zito and Hudson. I want to post the scores of the games. I want to go to baseball games so that I can show off my “I :heart: THE A’S” license plate. Alas, alas!

RIGHT, THERE’S ALWAYS FOOTBALL

Unfortunately, my 49ers are not doing well this year. So it’s more about frustration than cheering on when it comes to football. Sucks! And I always feel so evil when I laugh at losses endured by the Raiders. Oh well.

POSSIBLE SPORTY DIVERSIONS

I suppose I could try hockey. Or pay more attention to rugby. Isn’t basketball season starting soon?

MEN WHO DON’T GET SPORTS

When I was younger and unmarried, it never occured to me that I would consider liking sports a must have quality in a man. I just happened to find a man who loves sports and I like that he does. Now, do I like sports because my hubby likes sports and I like what he likes? I liked baseball and football before him, so I think the answer to that question is NO. But because of our love of sports, we are more open to checking out different sports when the opportunities arise.

But I do not get men who DON’T like sports and specifically baseball. I mentioned Barry Zito to one of the guys at work and he said, “Who?” I was sad. How do you not know Barry Zito, 2002 Cy Young Award winner, pitcher for the Oakland A’s– the local mlb team? It’s just terrible, TERRIBLE! And then I feel funny explaining sports stuff to a man. Doesn’t seem right! 😛

Of course, some people think I’m weird about keeping track of baseball. But hey, it’s nice talking about it with the guys. I actually know what I’m talking about most of the time! And I know what they’re talking about. Communication is good. 😉

Josh Beckett pitched a complete game shut out in Yankee Stadium in Game Six of the 2003 World Series. He won, the Marlins won, and Florida can now call themselves the World Series Champions.

I must really just love the game because I was on edge of my seat at the top of the ninth inning. I wondered, could this Marlins team do it? And why did I care? I know next to nothing about the Fishies, but since I hate the Yankees (an illogical story I’ll keep to myself), I cheered for Florida.

Yankee Stadium was stunned as the visiting team celebrated on the field. It was sad for the Yankees and their fans, but the Marlins had not a care in the world as they rushed each other in jubilation.

So, congratulations to the Florida Marlins…

ADVENTURES IN PHONE BUYING…

We woke up early (for a weekend) to head out to the mall, specifically the Nextel Store. It was time to swich services. The new i730 came out and I have been wanting the Blackberry 6510, so we went out and spent way too long in the store purchasing our new phones.

Only one employee was in the store and good thing we got in early because people were in an out the whole time we were there. It was weird! He handled things pretty well, I thought. Unfortunately, my phone didn’t work at first. He had activated the wrong SIM card! We were back in the house by then and eventually got that straightened out. Then we tried calling our phones. I wanted to see how my phone rang. “The Nextel number you are trying to reach in not in service.” WHAT?! Another phone call to the customer service and nothing. We can direct connect and we can call out, but we cannot get incoming calls. What a bunch of crap!

That said, my Blackberry ROCKS! I love it already. I have a long ass email address for it, but I have a walelia.com addy forwarding to the device and showing as the reply to address, so all is good. 😀

Now, if we can just incoming calls, all would be great!

Don’t forget to set your clocks back an hour! (I’m just trying to remind myself…)

It was interesting going to bed last night. We’re house sitting/dog sitting, so along with the 4 dogs that live here (the Yorkies Lucy, Nicky, and Gizmo as well as Lab mix Trixie), we have our Yorkie Saffy and our Lab Meggie. That Gizmo dog, he’s the runt and there’s nothing funnier than a runty Yorkie. He’s a little antagonizer! Just right now he’s trying to get Meggie all riled up. Ye gods!

Anyhoo, last night we settled into bed. Saffy came up, Nicky came up, Gizmo came up. Lucy didn’t want to bother, I suppose. Saffy settled down next to us, but Gizmo stared at me for a long moment, then walked up my pillow and curled up next to my head. I told him to scoot and had to pick him up and put him further down the bed. He just came right back up and curled up next to my head. He did that three times! Finally I put my arm over the pillow and he got the hint. He stared at me again, then curled up under my armpit. Crazy ass little dog! But he didn’t come up on the pillow the rest of the night…

It’s a little strange housesitting. I wish my own house was this clean! 😉

GOOD OLD SRJ

On the work front, I am SAD to report that Mike has turned in his resignation. How can you leave us?! But I absolutely understand why he’s doing it, even though it’s kinda scary to think about. Even though I will miss him terribly, I wish him all the best. We’re all going to miss you Mike. I hope you have a wonderful and prosperous adventure. 🙂

Yesterday was Celeste’s last day. She’s transferring out. I’ll miss her too, but she’s probably going to do overtime with us, so we’ll see her every now and then…

DRIVING WITH THE TOP DOWN

We drove to our house in their convertible. We had the top down for the drive. It was EXHILARATING! And just beautiful. The stars over us, the wind hard. Night time is so lovely. And driving into the valley with the top down at night is simply wonderful…

COUPLING, SOUTH PARK, TV ETC.

Finally, an “original” episode of Coupling aired on Thursday night. I say original because it was a strictly American ep, not a copy of the British show. I thought it was funny! So maybe I do just like the show. Rena Sofer is so beautiful. The guy who plays Patrick is funny.

And we got the season premiere of South Park on Wednesday. It was HILARIOUS! I have to say, one of my favorite parts was Mr. Slave saying “Jesus Christ” in reaction to everything. The CRAB PEOPLE, CRAB PEOPLE. I guess you had to be there. 😉

CSI was SAD, but as always a good show. How the heck do they do it?

BASEBALL?

Go Fish.

My computer clock says 0736 hrs. I’m NEVER up this early!

So, the tidbit of Barry Zito being on JAG is going around. I guess the media got hold of the info and announced it on Monday or so. But just remember, my dear readers, you heard it first here at Moonlit Jazz! 😀

Why am I up so early?

I need another hobby! Or I need it to be baseball season again. (The World Series doesn’t count if my team isn’t in it.)

I think I should try rugby. Now there’s a sport. I don’t understand most of it, but it’s fun to watch. The Rugby World Cup is on in Australia. Since my Kiwi love is what lead me to the sport, I’m going to have to root for the All Blacks of New Zealand. The USA team isn’t doing too well so far, but at least I’ve seen them play in real life. 😉

I had another easy (?) night at work, even though the power peanut wandered into our muster. He babbled on about “team work” and how we shouldn’t need a supervisor because we should all know our jobs. Blah blah blah… The transfer list came out. We’ll be losing some folks in the office. Alas! It’s not going to be a good place by the time the bid comes rolling around…

Thanks to Krisann for commenting and to Sharon for tagging. You two are way cool. I “own” Mark Mulder because Sharon and Olivia created the clique. 😀 Groovy girls…
