So Human

Love...
  • Diet Coke - warm or cold, I can't get enough
  • Spearmint Life Savers - I could eat an entire bag and not care if I get gut rot
  • Double Stuf Oreos - 'nuf said
  • All American Rejects - I can listen to their albums from start to finish
  • Bull Durham - Best. Baseball. Movie. Ever.
  • Sarcasm - I don't care if people think I use sarcasm because I am unhappy. It is a part of me and even though I need to keep it in check sometimes, it makes me smile
  • Baths - Summer or winter, I love a hot bath - the kind that makes your skin turn red
  • My Grandma's potato salad - she can't write down the recipe but knows its right because of how it looks. I've decided she has to live forever or at least as long as I do so I can always eat her potato salad in the summer
  • Brian and my girls - that's a given
  • Flannel sheets
  • Peas - I always have and always will
  • Raspberries - pick and eat until you are full
  • A good sneeze
  • The sun - I'm like a cat. If the sun is shining in the house somewhere, I will find it and curl up
  • Our church - we have found a community that we love and want to contribute to. I can't wait for Sunday's to come around
  • Rain - I always sleep better and I love the smell (not the worm smell, the other smell)
  • Sleeping
  • When I'm teaching and I can physically SEE when a child learns something
  • Reading - I have only recently become a lover of reading but I can't get enough
  • Playing cards - Gin, Rummy, Euchre, 99, Cribbage, I love a good card game - however if you play me, I want to win
  • When I can talk baseball and sound somewhat intelligent
  • A good piece of steak - cooked rare perfectly on the grill. My dad has ruined me in this category and I thank him for it
  • Shoes - tennis, crocs, wedges, flats, boots, I want them all
  • Marshmallows - the best fat free snack and potty training tool in the world
  • Big Bang Theory, The Mentalist and Deadliest Catch
  • Ice - I am an ice chewer. I will thank Mom for that one. And on top of that, I am an ice snob! Do you know there are places that have better ice than others? True story
Dislike
  • Heartburn
  • Olives
  • Mushrooms
  • Pants that look good but are uncomfortable to wear
  • When your nose is stuffed on only one side
  • That I am TOO opinionated at times. Some things just need to be kept to myself and that's ok!
  • Cleaning the bathroom
  • The two weeks during strato season where all the boys are calling Brian working out trades and asking opinions
  • That Justin Morneau has to have a full count more often than not when batting. It stresses me out - don't judge
  • That Natalie is growing up
  • Exercising - Ew
  • Rage Against the Machine - again, Ew
  • Money - It's no good
  • Rory's gone
  • Restless Leg Syndrome
  • Waking up and having some part of my body that has "fallen asleep" - especially my hands/arms
These are just some things on my mind tonight.

The Bastard Broke My Heart

You would think with a husband as with it as mine is with baseball, the least he could do is keep me updated on when my boyfriend, Justin Morneau, gets married. (Brian had to help me spell that because Canadians have crazy French names and Brian is a know it all.)  But NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I had to hear it on KQ this morning. Let me tell you, I heard my heart breaking, then I went into school to let my husband know that he is slipping in his old age. Arg. Damn you Justin. However, just cause you're married doesn't mean that I will stop watching your fine ass cover first base. Bastard.

February is a month filled with LOVE!

But not for me unfortunately.
This is an unnatural love for index cards with lots of numbers and symbols on them. Yes, you guessed it. Strato cards. I currently have three men examining these cards with so much concentration that when making snide remarks about what I did with one of the cards like: putting it down the garbage disposal, wiping Natalie's butt with it and lighting it on fire, Messer gave me a Sprecher's Root Beer just to shut me up.
Thankfully Lucas, my savior, is taking them out of my house tonight to bring them back to the Grove. Definitely a more central area for other crazies to go and drool over them some more. Sorry guys, they may be a little soggy already.

Oh Crash, you do make speeches.

 My all time favorite movie quote is by Kevin Costner in Bull Durham after Susan Sarandon asks what his character, Crash, does believe in...
"Well I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hangin' curve ball, high fiber, good scotch. That the novels of Susan Sontage are self-indulgent overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve, and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days."
I was going to have this be a tag blog, but Brian tells me that Soop already did something like this a while ago...So, Amy, if you want to go for it, you're it.
