Whoa! Rick was fooling me...


The setting on the photo booth in this picture is 'fish bowl'. I don't see it. Hmm.

Yesterday I did not go to work. Sunday night, after going to bed at 11 like I told you I would....I just could not fall asleep. It was bad. Finally at like 2, I got up and did some dishes, loaded the dishwasher and started that, folded laundry, and did a few other random things. Went back to bed at like 3 and laid there...at that point, I pretty much knew the whole work deal wasn't gonna happen. I thought about taking some sleeping pills, but then I wouldn't wake up for like 3 days. I guess I could have though since I basically decided I wasn't going to work, but I didn't. The last time I looked at the clock it was 5:13. AM.

Needless to say, there was NO way I would have made it through 8 hours at work on less than 2 hours of sleep, and not even 2 good hours of sleep, at that. So I called in. I didn't really feel bad about it either. I'm sick of being the gopher. I always cover for people and decide not to take time off that I wanted off because it will leave them short-staffed. But no one else ever pays that forward for me...so I'm over that.

My extra day off was fabulous though. I slept in til about 10:30, which I guess really isn't sleeping in since I had only gone to bed 5 hours earlier...but anyways. Then I just lounged around in bed and watched TV for a bit. I did finally get up and shower at like noon and went to the library and the store, and painted my nails. All in all, a pretty productive day.

I am watching the Tiger's game. Guess who is pitching....


Yes, that's right...the one and only Rick Porcello. Tonight I learned that Rick Porcello is not his legal name. He is actually named, now prepare yourself, this is quite a mouthful: Fredrick Alfred "Rick" Porcello III. That's a lot of names. I also learned that he is the grandson of Sam Dente, who played for the Cleveland Indians in the 1954 World Series. Plus, both of his brothers are pitchers. His older brother is a pitching coach at Seton Hall Prep, and his younger brother is currently a pitcher at Seton Hall Prep. Ricky boy was too, til he had to go and play for the major leagues and all...haha :)

He's doing pretty good. I mean I know they've got 4 runs on him already, but still. I'm a fan. Whoops, strike that...6 runs now. Okay Rick, time for a pep talk. I'm getting nervous. You can do this. Don't freak out, just stay calm and throw strikes. Simple as pie.

My dearest Hope had her baby boy today....Isaac Michael. He's pretty cute from what I can tell :) I'm so excited for them. I still can't beleive she has a baby...that's just crazy!! But I'm excited for her and I'm sure she'll be a great mom :)

Tiger's just scored! Times two!! They must have heard me complaining. It's about time. Top of the 7th. There's still time, guys. Come on!!

Glee was fabulous tonight. Even better than last week, if you can beleive that!! I was kind of nervous because of the whole Madonna theme, with me not being a fan of her and all...but it was classic.

Tomorrow I get to see Kim! Since I was gone Monday and Tuesdays are her day off, I haven't seen her since Saturday. That is just way too long for me!

Speaking of Kim...I feel so bad for that girl. She's got so much going on right now. I probably shouldn't go on about the details of her life here, but she's really struggling and I would appreciate it if you'd pray for her, and I'm sure she would too. Why do bad things always happen to the good people? So not fair.

Okay well I should probably get to bed...and watch the rest of the Tiger's game :) I can't go to sleep not knowing if they pull off the win...it's the top of the 7th, 6-5 Angels. It's anyone's game. Come on boys!

Goodnight!!
