I say "Boston" You say "Red Sox" !

It's finally here.. Game One of the ALCS. I can not wait! I love love love October baseball. All bets are off based on season performance. I really hope that's true for us in Tampa. Someday I'll post our pics from Fenway. We had to go twice since the regularly scheduled game got rained out but I can not complain - Boston is too fun!

Fall is arriving in New England but this weekend is supposed to be nice so we might head over to a local fair to see all the four legged & two legged friends. We are so dang exciting, aren't we? Maybe that's why no one reads my blog. Ha ha!

So - go Red Sox and if the Dodgers continue to lose, that would be a good thing too!

I'm Yellow?? Really??

I'll let those of you who know me decide. That way you can reply in the comments section! Go here to find out what color you are.

You are most like:

You are Yellow
The clouds part and the smell of daffodils and daisies fill the air when you are around. Your sunny disposition cheers most, and makes others (the jealous and bitter ones) wish you'd never gotten out of bed.

Ten great/awful things about TV today

1. NESN - Love it! The best sports network - period. Although I'm not a Patriots fan, I love their baseball coverage. Jerry Remy & Don Orsillo are smart announcers & seem to have a great time calling the game.

2. TiVo - I could never watch all the sports I do without it. Love it!

3. News - hate it! I try not to start my day watching TV - it is so negative and when I only have 45 minutes in the morning to listen to something, I prefer that it not be negative stories.

4. NASCAR coverage - all the networks. The coverage is getting awful - each network picks their favorite drivers and to hell with the rest of the field. Don't they realize that is a good way to lose car sponsors? Really - they should consult me on these things.

5. Reality TV - getting bored with it although I have never been a big fan. I do watch Extreme Makeover although it does seem to exploit the folks who eventually get the house...

6. Direct TV - love it! The NFL package, XM satellite radio channels, what's not to love?

7. Series going out on DVD's - great idea! I would probably have never got hooked on Arrested Development otherwise. Great show!

8. Food Channel - used to like it but now, not so much. Where are the chefs - not just people who cook?

9. Network TV - don't watch it.

10. The Daily Show & The Colbert Report - best 2 shows on TV without a doubt.



Whew - that was hard. Anyone have any thoughts?

Why can't they win so I can get some sleep?

Man ......I'm tired. Those dang Red Sox started late & played late last night and then they went and lost- but don't tell my hubby they lost. We TiVo'd the game and stopped watching at 11:00, the score was still tied and it was the 8th inning. Because I couldn't handle the not knowing - I already checked on line and found out what happened. (My boy, Tony Stewart won at Talladega too - don't tell him we haven't watched the race yet!) But the 'Fins won! Every time they win I'm going to link 'Fins to the Dolphins fight song so you can all enjoy it - YEA!
Otherwise things are clicking along, we might get out first frost tonight, so the plants need to come in & we need to start dragging wood in for the fire. Mondays are when I go to see how much weight I lost over the last week - I'm not too optimistic tonight as we enjoyed some good food & wine this weekend. Oh well - I'm sure a scotch egg isn't over 2-3 points - what's that my food calculator? - it's 8 points - oh shit...Tonight will most likely not be good. Maybe if I run the 20 miles to get there it might be better - ya, right.
Sox play tonight at 8 - Jon Lester is pitching - go SOX!!

In Memory of Miss Lillie

Our dear friend Nose Dive lost her beloved Miss Lillie today. She was quite the cat! For those of you who have lost a pet, you know how sad it can be. So I would like to dedicate my post today to Miss Lillie.

Poem For Cats

And God asked the feline spirit

Are you ready to come home?

Oh, yes, quite so, replied the precious soul

And, as a cat, you know I am most able

To decide anything for myself.

Are you coming then? asked God.

Soon, replied the whiskered angel

But I must come slowly

For my human friends are troubled

For you see, they need me, quite certainly.

But don't they understand? asked God

That you'll never leave them?

That your souls are intertwined.

For all eternity?

That nothing is created or destroyed?

It just is....forever and ever and ever.

Eventually they will understand,

Replied the glorious cat

For I will whisper into their hearts

That I am always with them

I just am....forever and ever and ever.

Don't Vote, No Really.....

Saw this awesome video on katydidknits and had to share. Wake up people - this is important! All Americans have the responsibility to vote - we it owe to our kids, grandchildren and their kids. And hell - since I don't have kids I'm voting to help YOUR kids!

Holy Sh*t - Itsa Bat!

For all of my millions of loyal readers, I know you are out there lurking... You may have noticed a new addition to my blog - Itsa, my virtual pet bat. I have this addition thanks to my cyber pal, June at Bye Bye Pie ( which happens to be my favorite blog - she is sooooooo funny). We had bats visit us several times this summer, in the house. All very exciting, especially for the cats, most notably Casey who tried to catch every one - you go girl!
Anyhow - no time to write more - you'll have to wait until tomorrow to see the exciting Boston pics. Does anyone think the Sox have a chance against the Angels? Let me know what you think ! ( A desperate attempt to get anyone to leave a comment - don't make me go political, that could get ugly!)
