ya gotta believe

NY Mets 2006 NL East Champions!!

I believe in the church of baseball. I've tried all the major religions and most of the minor ones.I've worshipped Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, trees, mushrooms and Isadora Duncan. I know things. For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic's rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. When I learned that, I gave Jesus a chance. But it just didn't work out between us. The Lord laid too much guilt on me. I prefer metaphysics to theology. You see, there's no guilt in baseball. And it's never boring, which makes it like sex...It's a long season and you gotta trust it. I've tried them all, I really have, and the only church that truly feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the church of baseball - Annie Savoy Bull Durham

presents?? for me?? oh boy!!

UPS man pulls up out front and i get all happy in my "yay! i ordered something and forgot about it!" or "ooh yay! presents!!" kind of joyous - but somewhat restrained and limpy - dancy kind of way.

so i trot out on to the side porch and wave happily at the man in brown (who i might add is looking pretty nice these days)

and i try to pick up the box. um. mistake. it's heavy. now what? i certainly did not order rocks. i did not order concrete.

ugh. painting crap. it isn't even for me. it's hubby's dumb order.

what a let down. so i called hubby and told him he isn't supposed to be ordering dumb ol' work crap. he is supposed to be ordering presents for me!

hahhahahhahaha. oh well. it was worth a try!
