Looney as a bat?

So most mornings, Lindsay and I are up and at the gym around 5am...naturally, at that time of the morning we don't have much to say to each other besides the exchange of a few grunts...but this is what is sounds like sometimes when we get back...

Scenerio: Linds and Raine get home and hear Lindsay's alarm that has probably been going off for the last hour and a half .."EERRRR..ERRR..ERRRR"

Raine: "Uh oh, hope that hasn't woken up Kim up!"
Linds: "that girl's got hearing like a bat"
Raine: "yea she does....and a nose like....like something with a good nose."

10 minutes later, Lindsay knocks on the bathroom door, where I am standing at the sink getting ready for work...

Linds: "Raine?"
Raine: "yea?"
Linds: "Do bats even have ears? I know they have that super-radar thingy...like they can sense their prey...but have you ever heard of bats having good hearing?

Raine: "yea i dunno! i mean they're blind! that's where "blind as a bat" comes from...but no, now that I think of it I don't think they do..."
Linds:"cool...thought just crossed my mind after I said it...I don't even know where that came from!"

T.K.O!

Ever been hit on so many times you feel like you were knocked out? yea..maybe the universe is out of wack (global warming, whatever that is) and there was a full moon 2 weekends in a row.. possible? Or maybe it was just the Halloween freaks but something was not right.

The following lines you are about to read are true. No names have been changed to protect the innocent (me) or the skeevy guys:

1) (Wearing my Youkilis shirt) "Hey #20, what's your number?" me: 20.

2)(Again, wearing the Youkilis shirt): Me, standing at the bar to get a drink. Borat-accent guy:"You rooting for the Red Sox?" me, looking down at 'Red Sox' across the front of my shirt: "Yea." Borat guy:" Oh, I know a lot about baseball....not!"

3) Me, standing at the bar, this time to pay my tab. Borat's friend with the slicked back hair: "I will pay your tab for you." Me: " No thanks, I got it" Borat's friend: "I will pay your tab, you marry me for a week to see how you like it?" Cut to me walking away.

4) Seemingly nice older guy, who starts making conversation while waiting for his drink. "Go Red Sox. You're very attractive." Me, "Thanks." Old creepy guy: "I'd like to see your baby pictures." Me, "uhhh". Creepy old guy: "You have a nice hair color. You're eyes are really pretty too. Are you Irish?" Me, "Scottish." Creeepy Mc-Creeperton: "You remind me of my baby sister. I bet you like tall guys."

5) Creepy Mc-Creeperton has now started to call any guy over 6 feet tall over to me, "Have you met my friend?" Me, "Hi, nice to meet you." Tall guy: "I'm Jim, like the stone."

6) Jim-stone, who has come over again a few minutes later to talk to Linds and me, leaning half way over our table, completely in my space "That guy is creepy. Ya know, I'm in sales so I'm really good at picking up on body language." Me, on the edge of my seat, leaning as far away from Jim-stone as possible: "Really? Can you read this?" And dumb Jim-stone just laughs...

7) Next up, weirdo Frank ,who we think is just talking to us while he waits to order his beer: "Did you guys see the blurb they put up about Varitek a few mins ago, was he in the military?" Linds and me: "Oh, yea, no we didn't see that, we don't know." Weird Frank continues blah blah blah. "Ya know, I work for Deltek." Me, "Oh interesting, we use Deltek at work." Weirdo Frank: "Yea, we have a corporate box at the Verizon Center. Got two tickets for tomorrow night. Would you be interested in going?" Me, "No, thanks." Frank, still hanging around, pulls out his card to give me, apparently with a little pencil waiting for me to give him my number, and puts his card next to my drink. Me, looking down at the card "oh, Deltek....thanks." Weirdo Frank inconspicuously slides his card back and leaves. Never orders his drink...

Bitter Sweet

Welp, Hokies started out strong, defense was amazing...the rained helped and hindered...and we lost in the last 2 mins...that is all I have to say about that.

On the other hand, Red Sox won Game 2! Zing! I'm still dealing with Youk's announcement, but you guys are right--I have 1 year to break this engagement up! Game on.

Here's a blurb from Youk's blog:

For us, we played a great game tonight. For me, I'm really sorry Enza, I made a mistake, I hate you.

Ok ok...Youk did not really write that, hrumph. But he did write this regarding the upcoming games in Colorado and I find it quite humorous:

Now we go to Denver. We played at Coors in '04, so it's not brand new to all of us. It's something we haven't done in a while. We'll see when we get there. They just say to stay as hydrated as possible.

Seriously? Poor Youk is going to have an incredibly hard time staying hydrated!!! Hehe, Kim suggested an IV...

Digital Digital Get Down!

I'm a little surprised our electronics guru has not introduced us to the Sony Reader Digital Book yet! Price, this seems right up your alley. You can keep all 10 books you're reading at once, in one convenient location (and 150 more if you choose!) Sony even makes a premium leather case to wrap your digital book and maybe, just maybe, there is an accessory to simulate that authentic book smell for ya!?!

Turkeys in Boston!

Watch out for the turkeys roaming around Boston, Price and Bev! Perhaps this is a sign of what's to come when VT takes on #2 BC later this week--turkey take over!! (**Knock on wood***)Think about it...Thursday night game in Lane Stadium, very tough! It has got to at least be better than last year's game...

GGB!! Let's Go Hokies!!

Woooo!!!

He doesn't even like her really....his face is all "go away, stop following me!"

Ok, I need to stop....really....

MLB Hot Corner Alyssa Milano talks to Kevin Youkilis

This is an older clip, but I need her job! No, I don't search on Youk ALL day long...just a small (large) portion of it...poor thing has to wipe away the sweat a couple times in the middle of the interview! hehe silly bf

Red Sox Nation song

This is cute while the kids sing at least....

LET's GO SOX!!!

Red Sox Prayer

In case you haven't seen this floating around yet:

A REDSOX PRAYER

Our Father, who art at Fenway...
Baseball be thy game.
They Kingdom come,
P layoffs need to be won,
On Earth, then on to the Cask 'n' Flagon.

Give us this day, a perfect Papi,
And forgive us our losses,
As we forgive those,
Like Bill Buckner.

And lead us not, into desperation,
But deliver us from any losses.

For thine is the Power,
And the Glory,
To beat the Indians,
Forever and ever....the Yankees suck.

Amen.

Redsox Dancefest

Hahaha....the best is Kim: "Was Papelbon a swimmer?"

Game 5

hehe this was on bostondirtdogs.com this morning.....yea, I laugh because I'm uncomfortable....

If Youk Tells Me...

...to jump off a bridge, I will NOT do it! I am not that obsessed, sheesh! But he did say it's 'no time to panic.' So opposite of panic I will do. I was sooo nervous this morning thinking about Wakefield on the mound (like you haven't been thinking about it all week also!!), I wanted to do a rain dance for tonight(no pun intended, hehe...he...h...e...eh) ...

BUT then I decided I am completely confident with Timmy throwing for us tonight. That said, please everyone just keep another little prayer in your mind tonight as the Sox try to take Game 4 : Please no Gagne, please no Gagne, please no Gagne....(repeat as many times as needed)

On a side note, again, Youk needs to work on his high five skills, he just needs a little more *uumph,* and Varitek's home run fist pump could be a little stronger too....Love you boys!! (just in case they are regular readers)

Let's Go Red SOX!Let's Go Red SOX!

Don't Tear my Heart, my Achy Breaky Heart

Umm, this song makes me want to vommit for some reason. Billy Ray is scary. I almost prefer his achy breaky mullet. And Hannah Montana sucks.

(You guys are mean girls...)

Ta Freakin' DA

So Nervie!

Game 2 tonight. Time to start mentally preparing. So nervous.

Game 1 was great. I was at the gym when it started but none of the hanging TVs had the game on (what kinda Communists.......?) so I had to choose a boring treadmill with the individual tellies (genius by the way). I found the key to a nice long cardio workout--have the Red Sox on in front of me while my BF's bat is in fiah! I only stopped because my legs started to go numb and I didn't want to pull a "Banks in Sherrill House" and have my ankles collapse under me. It was so tough restrained my excitement though as Youk hit his first at-bat homer, followed by a double and Papi's homer a few innings later. Puts a tune in my head:

**So this is love..Mmmmmmm...so this is looove...soo this is what makes life divine***

Aww look at the Ladybug!

Ava loves her Halloween costume...

Who are we kidding, Ava will probably have multiple costumes...next up the Hotdog and the Bumble Bee....maybe the Turkey outfit to wear during Tech games = )

(Don't be fooled by the 'Eat shit and die' look on her face, Ava loves her Mamas)
