That is exactly the text I sent a buddy from work Thursday, just after my darling Grady Sizemore hit a grand slam (the first in the new Yankee Stadium) against his Yanks. By the time I hit send, another home run. 9 run inning. Gotta love it. (Coworker told me to enjoy it, as it would probably be the highlight of my season.)
Friday the Tribe lost 6-5, but that's ok- it was close. It was a very close game.
Today... oh beautiful day. 22-4. TWENTYTWO to FOUR. Tribe had a FOURTEEN run inning. Ties team record. Set new Yanks record for most runs & hits allowed in an inning. (Coworker sent me a text about 5th inning "what? no world series cheers from the Indians fans?" to which I replied "I was being polite and waiting until the whuppin was over")
I'm just kinda ticked I didn't get to see the 14 run inning happen. Girls and I were at a friends house for her little girl's 3rd birthday. Glorious day here, mid-70s, clear sky, not humid. This was only half the party (the cake and run around be stupid half). Friday we will meet up at the snooty mall and go to Build-a-Bear. All the children are quite excited.
Boo's birthday party is 2 weeks from today. Nothing has been done except mailing invitations (and clearing use of Grammy's house with Grammy). Still need to figure out where to get a 'purple cow' birthday cake and buy farm or cow themed plates or something.
The more pressing issue tonight is Sissy's refusal to calm down. She power-napped in the car on the way home, and has been a hellion since 3 minutes after we got in the house. She has been sent to sit in her room twice (once by me, once by daddy). At the moment she is telling her sister to FREEZE while they eat dinner. They have almost finished, which means my smidgen of peace is nearly at an end.
The husband? He flippin ducked out to the grocery store, the wuss! He stayed home from the birthday to unearth the back bedroom for his mom's visit (for a week, for Boo's birthday). But somewhere around 3:30 he took a nap, because his mom called me at 4 (2nd time ever, I think) to check on what size clothing she should be buying the girls and he wasn't answering.

I got nothin'
No ideas. No energy. No signs of activity on our lot (which supposedly would begin digging MONDAY).
On the plus side, I also don't have any large branches down on our vehicles, or even in the yard from the high winds that came through last night. Power must have blinked at some point, but couldn't have been off long because no clocks needed reset this morning.
The only interesting thing going on (since I STILL DON'T HAVE A HOLE FOR MY NEW HOUSE) is getting new cell phones. They should arrive tomorrow.
After more than 9 years, I finally got tired of my current cell provider. The service is ok, the price ok, but the choice in phones and the price to get a new one just started to stink. So I found a good deal and ordered 2 free phones online, and hopefully just after they arrive our numbers should be ported over to the new company. I'm still not sure what's going to happen with husband's phone, one page of the order confirmation says the number will be (614)xxx-xxxx, but I requested to port his (214)xxx-xxxx, and part of the body of a confirmation email mentions that number and how once it is ported it will not work on the current (old) phone.
We're rather ambivalent on which number he winds up with. The (214) is fine, he's had it for years, we kept it when he moved up here so his mom could call him from her house phone if need be (though she never has). Also, I doubt he would bother to tell his old friends if he got a new number, he's been very blaise about talking to them during this past year. I'm pretty sure I've talked to one of them (via email and messenger) more than he has. The (614) was a neat number, easy to learn, and then I could call him from OUR house phone, which I've never been able to do because it's easier to call him from my cell rather than giving the long distance company a reason to charge me a little more.
Urgh. I must remember, once the phones are switched over, I need to cancel the long distance on the home phone or at least find a different provider. Currently, my fee is waived because I have cell service with the same company. Once they realize I don't have the cells, there's another $7 a month I don't need to spend.
OH YEA- Pitchers and Catchers reported today! First Spring Training game in 2 weeks! WOOHOO! and I can't believe Dunn went to the Nats. They need a hitter like him, but it seems like he's slumming. Maybe he'll be good for them and help them improve. I don't think they could get much worse. Hopefully we'll get to more Clippers games this year, the roster should be more interesting now that we're affliated with the Indians.

a minor victory...
The girls can see again. We've been intending to go get bang trims for a couple weeks now. Today I talked Sissy into letting me trim them here at home, with the promise that we would immediately go to the store and buy suckers (suckers being the highlight of going and getting it done). After doing a terrible but functional job on Sissy, 
I chased Boo and did hers. Boo's turned out not quite so silly looking.
So I saved $15 ($18 would have been spent at the haircut place, but add a little for the suckers).
We did indeed go get suckers, huzzah that the grocery store had dumdums in the bulk candy section so I could pick out the preferred flavors. After the grocery store, we went to the VF Outlet and wandered in search of things to get Daddy for his birthday Sunday. Wound up with some knickknacks and a t-shirt for him. It'll do. We also got this goofy but adorable book called "The Ugly Truckling"- a revamped ugly ducking where trucks are alive and talk and the ugly trucking turns out to be an airplane.
The real highlight of my day is noticing that pitchers and catchers report in 3 weeks! Here comes baseball season, hooray! I've been keeping an eye on the Varitek story though- It'll seem very strange if he goes to another team.

2009!
Yeehaw. I live such an exciting life. I've had like 3 glasses of Cold Duck now (I'm not that fond of normal champagne) so the world is a smidge off kilter. Typing's pretty lousy too, but that may just be enhanced by lack of sleep.
My father arrived for a visit today. First stop was the model home for where we're building to get the 'magic key' and go wander thru an almost done inventory home that is the same model as ours. I think he approved. He sure took alot of pictures, but he's been doing that alot recently, what with the 10 days in France and all. After the house tour, we went to the grocery store for some supplies (lunch stuff for hubby, sparkling grape juice as a gift for my night shift folks at work, the Cold Duck, etc...) then out to my mom's house to get the girls. Mom just got one of those mini-laptops for Christmas, and Dad's on his second one of them, so he was explaining features and tweaking some settings for her. At least my parents are still on good terms.
I have NO idea what we're doing later today after sleep. Poor hubby's going to have to watch the girls a little once he gets home, I bet they get up WAY before I am willing to roll out of bed. I did promise to make french toast in the morning, since the doughnut store was closed when we stopped by on the way home tonight (drat those holiday hours!!). I hope everybody's good with the idea of brunch cause that's what time it will be.
My dear Tribe picked up Mark Derosa (DeRosa?) from the Cubbies to play 3rd base. That should be a good thing. At least they know not to mess with Jhonny and Asdrubal, and I'm sure Victor will get plenty of time at 1st to try and stay more healthy this season. Now they have this MLBtv channel, but our dumb provider hasn't picked it up yet. Only those jerks at TimeWarner have it so far. Once I can type without the backspace again I should complain to WOW!.
urgh. I'm fading fast now. Goodnight, and a Happy New Year!
