10. Thought-provoking question of the week: You live in a rather dumpy apartment. A friend offers you a chance to be a roommate at a new place s/he is moving into, but they don’t allow pets. You have a pet. Do you find your pet a new home and take the new place, or do you keep your pet and stay put? What, leave my pets behind? No way, I stay put! If I really want to leave the dumpy place, I’ll find something else…

Find out which Xena girl you are.

I didn’t like my first one, so I tried again. I think I’d rather be Ephiny than Livia. 😛

In Kansas City: A’s over the Royals, 6-4. 😀 No decision for Zito. Alas! But Byrnes led off the game with a homerun, extending his streak to 22 games. Good for him! 😀

In Kansas City: A’s over the Royals, 7-6. Woohoo! I watched the play-by-play stuff online, which is quite maddening! I caught the action in the 8th inning, when my boys were losing. A quick look at the stats showed that Byrnes had not gotten a hit the whole game. I was sad! But if the A’s did good things in the top of the 9th, Byrnes had one more chance for a hit. Well, the A’s did good things in the top of the 9th and Byrnes got to the plate. I was hoping for a hit. Anything! A single would have been good with me. Well, he took a pitch and took it OUT! Woohoo, a homerun! So, not only did Byrnes get his hit, extending his streak to 21 games, but he also gave his team the lead. And it was just enough, as Keith Foulke closed out the game, allowing the Royals to score one. It wasn’t enough for KC and the A’s won! 😀

Yes, I’m a freak for baseball. And I love it! 😉

In Kansas City on Friday: A’s fall to the Royals 6-11. Blah! On the bright side, Eric Byrnes got a hit, extending his streak to 20 games. Good for him! 😀

The temperature on Friday was much milder than the previous days. Twas much nicer! We went to the outlet mall in Tracy, then to the West Valley Mall. I think I’ve done way too much shopping these past few days. LOL

I just finished reading Orson Scott Card’s novel “Sarah.” It’s my first book from the library. I haven’t read a library book in the longest time. Now I need to go back and get the next book…

THE FRIDAY FIVE

1. What do you most want to be remembered for?
I hope that people remember me as being a good person.

2. What quotation best fits your outlook on life?
“Live, laugh, love just for the day” (From a song)

3. What single achievement are you most proud of in the past year?
Buying a home

4. What about the past ten years?
Having a good, steady marriage for these past nine years.

5. If you were asked to give a child a single piece of advice to guide them through life, what would you say?
Be true to yourself and enjoy all the beauty, whether dark or light, surrounding you…

In Kansas City: A’s over the Royals 6-1. Yay! 😀 Mulder earned another win, improving his record to 8-2. Byrnes extended his hitting streak to 19 games. Woohoo! The only thing that would have made it more groovy is if I could have watched it on tv. Why don’t I get the games that are televised on KICU? Why can’t I get the FOX feed?

Speaking of FOX, can I just say how much I loathe their network programming? John Doe, cancelled? What kind of crazy crap is that?! I am outraged, bloody outraged! Now I won’t know what happens next. What’s the deal with Digger? Does “Theresa” make it out alive? It’s so unfair! I hate FOX. I know, I watch 24 and I watched American Idol, but gosh golly darn it, I wanted John Doe to go on.

Ohhh! My pictures are up from the trip to Cancun! Yikes, lots of pictures. I do plan on an illustrated journal, but that won’t be for a little bit. So, want to see some island pictures?
May 2003 – Cancun, Mexico

I’m trying not to think of work, but I am wistful now that the week is almost over. I so love being on vacation. And I do so hate putting on that polyester uniform. Ugh! But none of that now! I’m still on vacation and I am enjoying the time off! 😀
