I couldn't put it better myself so I won't

2008-07-03T09:34:00.002-04:00

From a Red's Blog I read, I couldn't agree more!!!

I'm Sick of It

Sick of this team. There’s too much talent to be losing.

Sick of losing to the Pirates. Need I say more?

Sick of being in last place. The PIRATES are ahead of us!!!

Sick of not getting runs in with runners on third and less than two outs. This is just stupid.

Sick of David Weathers. Is there a bigger gas can on the staff right now?

Sick of Corey Patterson. HE’S HITTING .188!!!!!

Sick of Edwin Encarnacion’s inconsistency. Think the kid has a ton of potential, but this is his fourth year and he’s still not showing it everyday.

Sick of Gary Majewski’s mullet and facial hair. The guy is actually pitching better…but that cheese has to GO!!!

Sick of George Grande. (….speaking of cheese)

Sick of Bronson Arroyo’s ERA.

Sick of “Together Agaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiin”

Sick of Paul Bako. The guy hasn’t made contact since he hit 2 HRs in one game at Florida.

Sick of Dick Pole. (isn’t that some sort of disease?)

Sick of Brook Jacoby. Please tell me what impact he’s had.

I’m sick of this crap!!!!!!!!!

Good Luck and Godspeed Jamie

2007-11-02T09:36:00.000-04:00

This week has been kind of a sad one, our team at work has had come to terms with our fearless leader leaving. He got an offer that he couldn't refuse. He is the best "router dude" and boss I have ever worked with and for. He had faith in me when I had none in myself. He fought for me when no one else would. He took the time to teach me no matter the cost. And for that I will forever be grateful. I hope one day we will get to work together again because these past few years have been a blast. Congrats and good luck in your new job!

Happy Halloween!

Carving Pumpkins.....

2007-10-30T11:19:00.000-04:00

Every year we carve pumpkins, and this year was no different. All in all a nice night. Emmy decided that I needed to do a fancy pumpkin and of course she picked the one that had the most cuts in it, so needless to say I was the last one sitting at the table while Missy and Emmy made popcorn and started to watch "The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown". Everyone still had fun although Emmy sure didn't like the pumpkin guts... Here are a few pictures.... more on flickr

Cheese!

Luke likes wheels more than pumpkins right now.

Putting the pieces back in was way more fun.

Lake Scare-O-Lina

2007-10-29T14:21:00.000-04:00

For the last few years our church has put together a Halloween event called "Lake-Scare-O-Lina". We had multiple booths with face painting, free popcorn, a cake walk, a couple of bounce houses, and even a hayride out to a pumpkin patch. We estimated that there was around 1500 people this year. Emmy and Luke both had a blast. They both got to dress up. Here are a few pics from the event. Here are a few pictures, like always more on flickr

My Sister introduced me to this site last night.... You can text messages to a PC in the picture and even turn some of the decorations on and off. We went back and forth with inside jokes..Emmy even joined in by typing her name!

An Update.....

2007-10-22T08:43:00.000-04:00

Things have been pretty busy lately with Missy working 5 nights a week. Her last night at the restaurant was last night! Woo Hoo! Things should settle down on the home front now. Work is going good, busy as usual which is nice. We went to a pumpkin patch on Saturday and the kids had fun. Here are a few pics.... More on flickr

Your Score: Snuffleupagus

2007-08-27T09:47:00.000-04:00

Your Score: Snuffleupagus

You scored 66% Organization, 48% abstract, and 61% extroverted!

This test measured 3 variables.

First, this test measured how organized you are. Some muppets like Cookie Monster make big messes, while others like Bert are quite anal about things being clean.

Second, this test measured if you prefer a concrete or an abstract viewpoint. For the purposes of this test, concrete people are considered to gravitate more to mathematical and logical approaches, whereas abstract people are more the dreamers and artistic type.

Third, this test measured if you are more of an introvert or an extrovert. By definition, an introvert concentrates more on herself and an extrovert focuses more on others. In this test an introvert was somebody that either tends to spend more time alone or thinks more about herself.

You are somewhat organized, both concrete and abstract, and both introverted and extroverted.

I bet you didn't think you were Snuffleupagus. Let's find out why.

You are both somewhat organized. You have a good idea where you put things and you probably keep your place reasonably clean. You aren't totally obsessed with neatness though. Alloyius Snuffleupagus (and all Snuffleupagus') is not sloppy by nature, but he moves so incredibly slowly that it is impossible for him to be totally organized.

You both are about equally concrete and abstract thinkers. You have a good balance in your life. You know when to be logical at times, but you also aren't afraid to explore your dreams and desires... within limits of course. Snuffy generally has very basic interests, but he explores his abstract sensitive side when he plays his snuffleflute.

You both are somewhat introverted. Originally Snuffleupagus was very shy and was only Big Bird's invisible friend. However as he has aged he has started to build new friendships with new characters. Like Snuffy, you probably like to have some time to yourself. However, you do appreciate spending time with your friends, and you aren't scared of social situations.

The other possible characters are
Oscar the Grouch
Big Bird
Cookie Monster
Ernie
Elmo
Kermit the Frog
Grover
The Count
Guy Smiley
Bert

I updated my blog layout a few weeks back but never posted about it. I know most of you get the new posts via a RSS reader so you may not have seen it. If you get some time take a look at the new layout and let me know what you think. I added a few items on the left frame that I try to update often.

August heat breaking records in parts of South Carolina

Aug 22, 2007 02:18 PM

COLUMBIA, SC (AP) - August is going to turn out to be one of the hottest months ever in parts of South Carolina.

The National Weather Service says Columbia's airport reached a high of 102 degrees Tuesday. It' the 13th day this month the high has reached 100 or more. The old record for August was 12 days in 1900.

Greenville's airport also is on track to set a record for the highest average temperature. The average through Tuesday is 85.3 degrees. The highest average ever for a month was 83.2 degrees set in July 1993.

Playing Catch.....

Emmy decided to play catch tonight, but not with me... She decided Dora was more fun to play catch with....

HOT

2007-08-08T08:25:00.001-04:00

At least we should see some relief by Saturday. It sure is bad when we think the mid to low 90's is a cool down.
