I watched another Astros game last night, this time with Richy and Paul
(and R2, of course). It was more fun having some guys around making
noises... and of course, it was a good game and we won. So I'm happy.
I'm not much of a sports fan, but I like it when local teams go to
championships and SuperBowls and World Serieses and whatnot. I usually
jump on board to support or Luv Ya Blue or whatever...
But my personal involvement in sports has been very limited. At Piney
Woods, we had a giant field in which to play. When I was in control,
this field was used for Pegasus running and princess parades, etc. When
the sadistic powers-that-be (not Terri, of course) were in control,
then it was used for P.E. P.E. stands for Persecution Entertainment, in
which small weak children are forced to exert great effort to try to
keep up with strong children, who do sports for fun.
Kickball wasn't so bad. The ball is very large, and even little short
chicken-legged children can manage to kick it a little and run to first
base where the big hulking 3rd grader has been waiting for you with the
ball.
But what's up with Dodgeball and Red Rover?? These games are designed
to dismember skinnys. Many terrified hours in my youth were spent
hoping that Stevie wouldn't notice that me and Melissa only had little
stick arms and run at us. Or that Joey (skinny, but evil) would not
attempt to throw the ball with great vigor and hatred at my little
peanut head.
Later, we had a volleyball team. I played for the whole year and never
hit the ball over the net.
In high school, it became easier. I went to public school. In public
school, they really really don't want you to drop out. Please. So, if
one day I felt unable to play (tennis, softball, basketball, track),
and I needed to sit out, they would make me (GASP) write an essay. For
my peers, this was bad. They would rather run track 8 months pregnant
or with a herniated disk than write. Many happy afternoons were spent
out in the sunshine at Conroe High writing essays. After a while, I
think Coach AC/DC was on to me... but she enjoyed reading my little
stories and thoughts.... so eventually I graduated and was married
within a single breath.
Now, I married a guy who likes to play a game of football once or twice
a year, and usually just watches championships. Works out good. We have
shared more than one batch of 10 dollar nachos at Minute Maid Park. And
really, anything with nachos is better.

It is I. BATboy. A BAT and a BOY. Unmedicated and prepared to take over the world at a given moment.
My companion is RATking. A RAT and .... well, just a RAT.
We are in the beautiful land of Me-hee-co, and ........
Did you see that? It looked like Dr Mikey?? But I... but he....
I must go and attend to the Consulate as they have run low on weinerzine...
MMmm Lunch
wonder what I'm having for breakfast
I joined bowling in 11th grade... hey, free field trip once a week.... I can bowl a 37 game now
And Richy, despite being a Scrawny, is good at sports....
especially bowling.
Good morning Jess, jd, and thing...
I am at work wishing I was having something for breafast. Work, work, work.
I remember you as a small child but don't remember the chicken head. I remember the dodgeball. Now that I think about it, it is a scary game for those smaller than the ball. But, it was cheap! Not much equipment required. Just a ball, a few ornery boys and some girls that they can terrorize. Hmmmm.....somehow I feel I need to go back and apologize to a few people for my part in terroristic acts against them............Maybe I better go back to work. All this introspection is upsetting my empty stomach. Thanks Jess
Good morning, Terri
Nice to see you again!
Good morning Katie. How are you today? I am at work so am checking back here on occasion.
Sharon,
Is that Wynter Juarez you are talking about?
Terri is going to hate this. I think chocolate is a food source. It is in the milk group.
I cant believe there is more than one Wynter in montgomery county.
I used to be there when Beth did the laundry. Bob's laundry got kind of exciting sometimes too.
rob-
we're talking sports here. how much more studly can you get?
for breakfast today: pancakes bacon and a big glass of milk.... I married the right twin!
there's some controversy about that, sharon. Georgia thinks they're both Matt. Kinda like Daniel and imposter Daniel are the same
Julie- I was going to ask how can we be friends but then I realized I can eat all your chocolate... not bad
Twisted Batsenorita? Tonight?
Yeah, I think they are both Matt. He has an awesome imagination.
I... my rat compadre... this arch enemy comment disturbs me. but not as much as the twisted evil face of Dr Mikey which is popping up all over the place. Do you know if he is in the Enchanted Land?
Or they could be Arberto, he has been awfully quiet lately. I just thought that the North sea had a lot of rigs turned over these days, but you know he is kinda like that. He has pretended to be Richy before.
iiiiiiiiiiiiiii loooooooooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeee chhhhhhhoooooooooccccccccccooooooooollllllllaaaaaaaatttttttteeeeeee.................
Or, too Mom, it could be Daniel. He has been known a time or two to hold more than one alter ego. For Daniel to be holding a contest against his own self would not be a new concept for any of us would it?
I, on any given non-pregnant day, crave strange things. So pregnancy has not been that different.
Come on, Sharon,
And all the Federales say
They could have had him any day
They just let him slip away
Out of kindness I suppose.
Things are as you say. I will say no more.
But if you happen to see a tamale cart in the hallway, pay close attention. And get the infierno out the window.
your alter ego, rob? would that be scruffy?
I think Batboy is going to blow up the prison. Man, this guy, I don't know if he is Ratking's friend or not. He acts like he wants to help him escape, but he keeps on blowing up the places that RK is trapped in. I guess he is going to miss the Twisted Batsenorita concert.
well, I have been prayed for "prophesied" to more than once about having 14 children.
2 is looking pretty good.
Rob's strategy is to keep Steph pregnant... no menstrual cramps.
Just 10 blissful months of BIGtime PMS
Two different songs
One is the ballad of Pancho and Lefty

The other is Desperado by the Eagles.

Can I have your email address?
Matt,
Cant get hold of Jess
Email me please, so I can email you.

yeah, and besides, you're pregnant now...
Good afternoon all,
I haven’t been on today, and won’t be much next week because I’m training to take over some processes from someone that is leaving Boeing next week. It’s quite a lot, and since we’ll be heading to TX next Thursday, I only have a couple days for me to get it all down. I’m on lunch right now.
Welcome to the blog Katie! It’s been sad and funny at the same time to see your post at the end of each day, but glad you got in here today.
My theories on Batgirl and Ratpeasant are that it’s defiantly all in the Velazquez family. I think Georgia is in on it. But it is amusing. . . at least when I actually decide to read their comments.
where is that ol' snake in the grass Josharoo anyway?
oh.... there he is
All of you are more computer literate than I.
How do I look up half price books store on line?
What is the website?
Help!
Careful, I’ll be in your yard in 10 days, watch your ankles.
hmmm.... well, I will just pretend I didn't hear that. But it might be halfpricebooks.com
watch your ankles
Give a person a fish and they eat for a day (Jessica). Teach a person to fish and they will eat for life (me).
Eva,
Just go to yahoo.com or google.com and type in anything you want to look for.
I don’t have ankles!! Thank you for pointing out my deformity again!!
Thanks.
Hey smarty pants....
I might just have another reason to look that up......
Maybe someone out of town needs the website.
Maybe I might have some books that need to be traded, I hear that they do that.
Maybe I have all kinds of reasons to need their web address.
My good friend Bettyann loves to read books.....as a matter of fact so does my good friend Jan and Priscilla and come to think of it alot of my friends like to read.
Isn't that a coincidance......o my Terri will really like the way I spelled that .......
