Yep...it's that time of year! Spring Training is in full swing (ha! get it...swing...baseball..spring training... )ANYWAY...it looks like the Tribe is doing well. We have our usual nemesis problem...I REALLY don't like Detroit ANYTHING. Someone needs to knock the stripes off those Tigers.

Hey, Big Al...how's that Tribe sighting going?

I spent some time on my trusty crusty puter trying to stir me up some Tribe tickets. I MIGHT be able to get a seat at a game sometime in JUNE. (Ruby...can ya help a sista out?)



7 weeks until the NFL Draft begins. sigh...such a LONG time! In the meantime the Browns picked up Jamal Lewis (everyone else just walked by and stepped over him, apparently. ).

I am not real hot on Brady Quinn. I think he's another one that thinks that he is way better than he is...too over confident. He hasn't played with the REAL big boys. He might be too worried about messin' up that purty face.

And I have to add this in just cuz I can--->Pittsburgh what?

And to round out my fun:



LEBRON IS BACK, BABY! I was sorely saddened by Lebron before the All-Star break. But now he is focused and his focus has brought renewed fire to his team mates! And last night they buried those nasty Detroit Pistons. Lebron is burning up the court and Z has found his will to live. After squirming in my chair during the play-offs last year, I thot Z was washed up. He sure played like it. Whew.

I am waiting to see how Lebron and the Cavs fair against those Mavs come March 21. Revenge time! (Oh, yeah, Randy...the Cavs will rope the Mavs and hog tie 'em! )

This is THE BEST time of year...and it only happens twice. You know, when there is that collision of baseball, football (sort of), and basketball. I like it!

I don't know about the stupid part... ...but I'm still poor. sigh...didn't win that big lottery. That means Troy can get on his plane to California today with confidence that it is NOT going to take a nose dive.

I have decided to work on a beauty regimine now. Do you have any idea how much time and money it costs for someone of my age to pretty themselves up? Especially when you are starting with what I have to start with. There's the lipo...the hair...the skin...a new wardrobe cuz I don't think sneakers, jeans and a t-shirt are gonna cut it any longer. I might actually have to wear heels, frilly dresses...you know...the stuff that those purty females on the TV set wears.

I bought myself a low cut, laced up shirt a few weeks back. I looked at it for days trying to get the nerve to put it on. When I was young and pretty (when you are young, it doesn't take anything to be pretty) I wore such things all the time. But, I haven't worn a shirt that shows cleavage in many moons.

So, one day, I put it on. The day the insurance adjustor was to visit. (so I put on some orange lip gloss and answered the door). Troy kept motioning me to pull the front of my top up! And then, for the rest of the day, you'd think I had Dawg Pound tickets on the front of me! All I know is this...my chest was cold. I don't think I like wearing that shirt. I like warm and comfy. t-shirt. I like to be covered up.

I am beginning to wonder if I can get the hang of 'pretty' again.

Then there is a matter of mani-pedis....
