Spring Training is Underway! We'll Miss you Skip!




Today's Yogurt Flavors
Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Toffee Nut,Caramel, Marshmallow, and Vanilla Malt

America's Pastime is here, Spring Training! It is hard to believe, my husband will soon be sitting in front of that TV cheering on the Braves when they're hot and screaming at the top of his lungs with mute button pushed to off when they do something incredulously stupid. It warms the cockles of my heart. Those carefree days of the dog hiding under the bed when they're losing because he's scared of his father yelling at the sports announcers. AHHH... I wait for this serene time of year to commence.

There is a serious sad note. This year we will all miss the humor and great sports commentary from one of baseball's most beloved announcers. My husband and I both had a fond attachment to Skip Carey. From time to time, I know we both perk up our ears when we hear memorable moments of Skip Carey's voice. Skip, you were and will remain one of the best, the wittiest, and the most colorful voices in baseball history. His son Chip, will carry on the Carey dynasty. The picture below shows three generations of Careys announcing baseball. I will mention Skip a lot this summer. Some people aren't meant to fade away.

It seems like it got a little chilly last night. My apartment managed to drop down to 47 degrees. It is a bit harder to get out of bed and get ready when it is on the colder side, but the electric bill, or lack there of, is a site to behold. I'm predicting a bill under 13 dollars for the actual charge this month. It is a good thing since I have other things to save for right now. Friday in the News: In 2005, Playgirl magazine conducted a survey among 2,000 of its readers and came to the conclusion that women actually like their men scruffy, a wee bit chubby, and definitely not metrosexual. According to the survey, 42% said they thought love handles were kind of sexy and 47% approved of chest hair. Only 4% of wome...

A Friend In Need

Image
This weekend was a wonderful weekend for me to catch up with friends. Yesterday, I was able to see my best friend who, though it seems like months on end, I have not seen in a month. It was good to be able to sit down and talk again. Many times there are difficulties in our lives, but it is great to know that we are able to turn to others to ask for help. I'd like to thank her for being my friend through everything because that friendship means so much to me. It looks like this weekend’s rain will leave us for a short time to return again next weekend. Wasn't it great? It seemed like the perfect weather to cleanse and renew after so many months of dry, relentless weather. Three weekends in a row would be fantastic. I am thankful for the rain that we have received. The Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Banana (after 7 PM), Peanut Butter (After 7 PM), White Chocolate Raspberry and Vanilla Malt.
