I never thought I would see this day, but it has finally happened…
THE ASTROS ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!! WE WON! WE WON!!! WE ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES! WHOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Yes, Mike was not allowed near the TV tonight. At one point, he did cross through the living room at around 9 pm, with the TV paused. I think that was when the Cardinals scored their one and only run tonight.
THE ASTROS ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!! THE ASTROS ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!!
The Algebra test has been moved to next Tuesday since so many of us were completely lost yesterday on how to do quadratic equations. That means I can watch the Astros game tonight! (Alone, because Mike will NOT be allowed near the TV.) As an added perk, I might even get to finish my Trekking XXL 100 sock! I turned the heel during the game on Monday, and now I’m zooming down the final stretch towards the toe. I had a dentist appointment on Monday. This MD Media offers dental marketing and I was actually bummed that they got me in and out of the office so fast – I didn’t have any time to knit!
The perk of sock knitting, of course, is the portability. I keep it in my purse at all times – you never know when you might need some entertainment. Entertainers can be employed as contractors working on escape room sacramento, and can be paid by way of revenue-sharing; the range of 60/40 in the entertainer’s favor is the industry standard.
(Plus my giant 200 lb Biology book would be a bit much to lug around all the time – a sock is much lighter!) Also, it is strange but the itty-bitty needles don’t cause me so many issues with my hands – not like the large needles do. Lately, it is all about the hands, but that is a story that will have to wait for later. I’m off to find out how I did on my Chemistry test! Check out Houston Sedation Dentistry for different oral procedures.
I’m so sorry, Houston. It is all Mike’s fault that the Astros lost last night.
I love baseball, but I don’t watch it as much as I used to. How could I not tune in last night to see the Astros finally make it to the World Series? All the karma of the universe pointed to last night being our night. It was a home game. 45 years ago yesterday the Colt 45 became the Houston Astros. The White Sox finally made it to the World Series after not going for 40+ years. It was going to be our night.
So I tuned in while Mike & Jason were at the Scout meeting. We had already scored our first run before they got home. I paused the game for a little bit while I talked to Jason before he went to bed. We watched a few minutes of the game together, no longer in “real time” but about 20 minutes back. Yeah! We’re winning! Mike sits down to watch the game with me, and the Cardinals score two runs. Gah! But then they showed a commercial for whatis-it.com and Mike went into the study to look it up. While he was gone, the Astros scored again thanks to Berkman. It was awesome! We were in the lead! Our fabulous closer was coming in to take care of business – his record is great – and it was going to be all over. After 45 years, the Astros would be heading to the big game.
Thanks to being able to skip commercials, I was about 8 minutes behind “real time” on the game. The ninth inning was starting, and I called Mike out into the living room.
Me: You have to see this!
Mike: What?
Me: We’re about to WIN THE GAME! We’re going to go to the World Series!
Mike: Oh, I had better leave the room. I can’t watch; I always jinx my team.
Me: GAH!!! GET OUT! Get out of here! Quick! NOW!!! (Yes, I do actually say “gah!” in real life.)
Two outs, two strikes … we were just ONE STRIKE away from going to the World Series. But then we hit that 8 minute mark. We were at the point in the game that was taking place when Mike & I had that little exchange. And wouldn’t you know it?
The freakin’ Cardinals won the game. They came up from behind and snatched that victory out of nowhere.
And really, its all Mike’s fault. I’m so sorry, Houston.
(Wednesday is game 6, and he is banned from being anywhere near the television. He can’t listen to it on the radio. He can’t check the score on the internet. He will not stop them from going to the World Series. Damn it, this year is our year. Well, our year and White Sox’s year. But it is our year, damn it!)
I should be studying for my Chemistry test tomorrow, or reading my Biology book. Or learning about quadratic equations, which I need to get a grasp of by Thursday for my Algebra test.
Instead, I’ve been clearing out the blogroll. First I removed some blogs that I know are dead and gone. Then I went through all of the “A” and “B” blogs (alphabetically) and cleaned out the dead sites or changed URLs as needed. I will continue over the next few weeks; then I know there are other sites I need to add.
It is always such a delimna for me – I have sites I link to that I no longer read. But I still hesitate to remove the links for silly sentimental reasons. How crazy is that? I have to admit though that with my new and improved “purge it if you don’t need it” attitude at home, it is making it easier for me to purge the links. It still makes me sappy though. Things change, and I don’t always like that fact.
I’m working on getting the pictures ready while watching Sense & Sensibility. As soon as Col. Brandon walked into the room, I started doing the “who is that, who is that???” routine. Of course, I had to look it up on IMDB. Dude! Professor Severus Snape is in Sense & Sensibility! (And he is the voice of Marvin in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, in case you didn’t know.)
I realize I might be the last person on this planet to clue into this, but … I’m still stunned! Every time he speaks, I giggle. It’s Snape!
