All Star Game tonight!!!
I know I've been a bit baseball obsessive lately, but it's summer. And I was raised on baseball. Pretty sure I bleed green for my boys in Oakland. Hubby actually commented a couple weeks ago that I'm rather dude-like in my tendency to wake up and turn on MLB network in the morning.
Yes, it's been happening. I love that channel.
So I saw this commercial a couple weeks ago for the first time and I enjoy it. Especially Eckersley and his epic stache.
Love.

Random Memory
I just remembered this in the car today and decided it needs to be posted. Because I don't think I did when it happened.
We had a birthday party for my Tad here at my house back in May. More like a little family dinner. So my mom was here and my youngest nephew, Anthony, (he's four) heard me call her mom.
Anthony: Why you call her mom?
Me: Well, she is my mom.
Mom: Just like she (pointing at Beth) is your mom.
Anthony: (thinks for a minute, then speaks to me) Ohhhh, like you're Paul's mom? (Paul is Tad's actual name.)
The look on my sister's face, plus my mom's huge eyes, plus the cackling that occurred after this exchange... priceless. I only wish I were Tad's mom.

Can I Get A Duh?
Hubby and I awoke this morning to the Prez on television (again!). Now I won't even get started about how the man apparently LOVES his speech time (of which I've watched... one maybe? In his whole time in office.). I will mention what he's talking about.
Raising the debt ceiling.
Ummmm... wait, we're already becoming a country of people who can't pull ourselves together and pay bills. But you want to RAISE the amount of money we can borrow? So we can take a longer time paying it back? And a longer time not supporting ourselves??
Bad idea. Duh.
I came to the conclusion a long time ago that to be a politician, you must have to have terrible math scores. Like, dismal. Because I'm constantly amazed at the numbers spewed forth showing that no one is aware IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT, YOU SHOULDN'T SPEND IT. Really.
Okay I'm done.
In other news, it's my parents' anniversary today. 30 years! And it's free Slurpee day. Okay, it's a wimpy size, but still.
**AWWWWWW SUPER SADS!!! My tattoo is postponed. :( Our friend just messaged and had something come up that's gonna keep him out of the shop today.
Hello Monday. You raise your ugly head again.

Weekly Manicure
My nails are appropriate for what's coming the next couple days...
If you live under a rock and don't know what this week is... All Star Game. Hence the nails. :) I love them. They're fun. And they'll be gone Thursday in honor of something else special...

Catching Up
Yeaaaahhh vacation makes me lazy. Hence the non-consistent blogging. Oopsie. :)
Wanna know what's up?
We had an excellent 3rd of July (yes I said 3rd) out at a friend's house. On the 4th my cousin texted me and we had a last minute BBQ for four. Complete with fireworks (legal here and illegal in the skies around us) and a walk/bike ride through the neighborhood. The pups weren't terrified of the fireworks, they just didn't enjoy them much.
The 5th of July was a day for baseball. We have a Triple-A team here and there were fireworks after the game AND the tickets were two-for-one. How could we not go? We took my cousins (twin shoutout!) with us. Despite the Alabama-like humidity and discomfort, it was a good game. Our team won and the fireworks were legit.
There's plenty on the schedule to come too... can't let my last few weeks of vacation be boring!

- Monday... I have an appointment for my first tattoo! I'm kinda nervous. :)
- Tuesday... All-Star Game. I'm honestly pretty underwhelmed with the voting results. But at least there'll be some legit pitchers.
- Thursday, well... technically Friday at 12:01 AM... HARRY POTTER!!!!! I haven't seen any of the others at midnight and this is the last one so I figured why not? We'll have a decent little group going.
- Also in the slightly more distant future are a couple more baseball games, a couple local (and not quite local) shows to attend, and we still need to make time for camping!

Weekly Manicure
Meant to post yesterday because OF COURSE they're themed for yesterday's holiday...
The blue is glittery too... just doesn't photograph well on the webcam.
You can also see my pimpin' ring. I love it.
We're off to a baseball game tonight. Our AAA team is a feeder for the Giants. And they may not always be great, but they have 2-for-1 tickets tonight AND fireworks. I can support that.

Hmmm... Odd...
So I'm guessing most of y'all have donated to some group at some point and received those nice little return address labels that you mostly use for bill-paying because they're never actually THAT cute. (Wow that was a run-on sentence.)
Well, I was kinda stoked because I thought I got some in the mail yesterday.
Thooose aren't address labels. Hence the "WTF" expression on my face. Wanna see what they are?
Yeah. Because I apparently need thirty-three label-sized stickers that say that. What am I supposed to do with them???
I know what I'm going to do with them. They're going to show up in random places. And if I'm good, I'll even photograph it. Because I have sixty-six of these babies to play with. Hubby got them too. If you want me to sticker-attack someone just hit me up.
