Oh my goodness, the A’s are in FIRST PLACE. WOOHOO! I am so happy for them. I tell you, this is make or break time and they’re moving to making it. I LOVE THE A’S! 😀

Hump day ramblings…

The other day I was in the alcove, checking out the transfer list, the vacation list, the “off limited duty” list and I noticed that a couple of people in our office were on the “off limted duty” list. I found it interesting that since coming off the LD list, one particular person had called in sick TWICE. Was it because she was now medically cleared to do any position in the office, even the dreaded female dress? Hmmm…

Happy Birthday to all the August babies in my family! Let’s see if I can remember them all… Kristian, Daisy, Bev, Kristen, Sheilah, Shianne, Ashley, Bob, Donald. Is that all? I think I got them all. If I missed anyone, sorry! 😀 (Oh, not that any of them read this blog thing.) I hope they all had good days…

I am STILL NOT Jensen Ackles or Ryan Gosling! What do I have to do to get people to stop sending me emails addressed to them?! Ye gods!…

I’m tired of getting all those stupid virus emails. Aaack!

I’m going to move my soulDecision site to my walelia domain. I’m running out of space at kiari.com. Who would have thought? I figure moving soulDecision is a good start. I know I have a lot of images at the site, so I’ll have a lot to do in terms of fixing links and such. Yeah, I look forward to that. 😛

I actually got home in time to watch this extra inning game (twas the 12th inning). Woohoo A’s! Still tied for 1st place and one up on the wild card. Yeah, this is the time…

And my poor poor Mulder! *sigh* Mulder in the house I hope he’s there on Saturday!!!

How do they do it?!

Jen’s got a new blog. I love her layout! All that green and yellow just makes my heart pitter patter so nicely. Awww. 😀

Chelle’s doing a neat-oh thing with her blog. The visitor can chose the layout! Too bad they’re all Giants layouts. Hmmm.

And I love Steph’s blog. She always has the most interesting posts. 😉

Oakland Record: (76-55)

76-55, it’s the record of the moment. Seattle, Boston, and Oakland all have the same record. How will it turn out?

See, I’m an A’s fan freakette!

with my Tahoe... see the license plate?  Yeah baby!

So I totally suck. Lisa is coming up from LA for the Renaissance Pleasure Faire and I won’t make the almost two hour drive to Hollister by myself to meet up with her. Isn’t that just bogus? I know, I suck! But after having two different cars die on me within the last six months, coupled with the fact that I don’t like to drive alone to places I’ve never been, you can perhaps see why I hesitate. Yes? No?

I would love to see my friend, I would. I just don’t want to drive all that way ALONE. I’ve never been there and I am uncomfortable driving alone along strange highways. Alas!

Of course, she’s mad at me. I don’t blame her, I don’t at all…

I finally bought the soundtrack to Pirates of the Caribbean! I’m going to listen to it at work. We also bought Dierks Bentley. Yeah, “What Was I Thinking?” indeed? LOL! (You’ll get that if you know who Dierks Bentley is.) I also got a copy of the magazine Science of Mind. Reason? Mr. Barry Zito is on the cover. 😀

I took lots of pictures on Saturday. Did I mention that? Yes, lots. But I’m still working on Daisy’s party pictures, so it will be awhile before I get to the pics from this weekend. And then NEXT weekend is the TriStar show. I’m so looking forward to it! I don’t know what to wear! LOL! I really hope Mark Mulder is there. I want another picture with him! Oh, and Tim Hudson too. Then, my collection will be complete– a picture with each of the “Big Three.” 😀

And my thoughts and prayers to the Bonds family on their loss this past weekend. Twas a sad day in baseball…

TOR Runs: 2, Hits: 7, Errors: 1

Oakland Record: (75-55)

A very GRAND game. LOL! The A’s hit two grand slams, one from Ramon Hernandez and the other from Miguel Tejada. Wow, a game I actually watched on tv and they won! (I had a losing streak going for awhile.) And even better, Tim Hudson did a great job for the win. He did get hit on the leg by a hit from Mike Bordick, but he looks like he’ll be all right. Whew!
