Month: October 2003

It’s Columbus Day, and while my company doesn’t have the day off, I do because Junior doesn’t have school or daycare today. We did our Walmart errands (I wish Target was closer, but I just didn’t have 45 minutes to drive each way to Target) and now I’m trying to get some work done. Junior earned himself a Bionicle because last night he helped me carry stuff up from the toy room up to the newly-designated toy room. I’m not even done yet, but what we did yesterday took a HUGE bite out of what needs to be done. Plus I ended up with two boxes of yard sale toys (and a whole bag of stuff that went in the trash that he didn’t see.) So I feel good about that!

Too bad yesterday wasn’t as nice as this – it would have been great to have that extra day to get stuff done around the house. Now everything is wet from the rain, plus I’m supposed to be working. Oh well…

I could be a baseball official. Read down a bit to see my “who was wrong” list and match it up to the fine listing from MLB:

“Zimmer, Red Sox pitcher Pedro Martinez, Red Sox outfielder Manny Ramirez and Yankees outfielder Karim Garcia were each fined an undisclosed amount by Major League Baseball in the wake of the events.”

Now I had Nelson on the list but they are still reviewing tapes etc. of what happened out in the bullpen. But you watch. I’m good.

Adam over at Boston-Online.com posted this great link. I’m trying to figure out whose feed this is, but they never showed this angle last night on Fox. You watch this and tell me Don Zimmer wasn’t gunning for Pedro. Thank you NECN, for the link.

I don’t know if I mentioned that I’m going to be a witch this year for Halloween. I can reuse a cape I bought two years ago, and I have a new hat and wig. I should put the wig on for all of you. I’ll take a webcam pic and leave it up when I do. Anyway, I think I’m just going to do a black turtleneck and black jeans when we’re actually out, because quite frankly, I don’t know where one goes to shop for a black leotard if you aren’t in gymnastics. Plus, it’s probably not a clothing items I’d get a LOT of use out of. It would be cool if I knew how to sew, because I’d like to wear a cool skirt – I’m picturing one of those Stevie Nicks deals circa 1980, but only in black, but if I made it I’d be afraid I’d be naked by the time I got to the third or fourth house.

The witch thing was easier to pull together than the superhero plan we were using. Everyone in our Halloween group (5 kids, 6 adults) were supposed to dress as superheroes. Easier for the size 8 gals to find something, that’s for sure. Then one family decided they were going to be animals, my son and nephew wanted to be Power Rangers (they don’t really qualify as superheroes, do they?) and that’s when we realized we could all be what we wanted.

I like my hat, I just need to figure out what to put in it to make it stick straight up.

People Who Were Wrong:

• Pedro for hitting Garcia
• Pedro for gesturing that he’d hit Posada in the head
• Garcia for sliding cleats-first into Walker
• Manny for starting the whole thing by over-reacting to a pitch
• Zimmer for charging Pedro
• Garcia for jumping the fence into the bullpen to get involved in that skirmish
• Nelson if it turns out he started the fight with the groundskeeper, who has cleat marks on his back and Cops who say Nelson started it.
  

God help us all, but I have to say Clemens was one of the cooler heads yesterday. Whoda thunk it.
