I'm guilty of it. You're guilty of it. Every single sports parent or fan has done it. We yell at the refs. "Are you blind?" "Just let 'em play, ref!" "Where did you get your stripes, the zoo?" We yell at the coaches, "Come on, coach! Run a play!" We yell at the players, "Come on! Move your feet!" It's all part of the game, right? Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't.

I told you I'd come back sometime. I know, March to August. Just a small vacation. But I'm here now! Let me catch you up on my five months of Mondays.
You've seen me mention Mac in my posts from September to March. Well, Mac is no more. We'll leave it at that, but it was a massive heartbreak for me.

Hello my devoted readers!
Last week, I was reading an article about the new Denise Richards movie based on the website Cougar Life. First, let me say I didn't know Denise Richards acted. Or attempts to act, anyway. What little I've seen her in doesn't make me think, "Ahhh, Academy Award in her future!"

I hope that you are having a great holiday season. Doesn't it seem to just come too fast anymore? I thought I was burning my fingers on fireworks just last weekend..Sheesh!
So, on with Stick It, Tuesday! It was a fave with my close friend Drew, so I was inspired to come back.

Again, been a while since I've been here. Life gets busy and my writing time gets smaller. Although this is my stress relief, I haven't visited often enough.
My life seems to be in turmoil. My marriage is going away, I worked 122 hours in the past two weeks. I realized, due to my dear friend Drew, I need some down time.

Hey, want my job? It's an easy, no-brainer, people and customer-oriented job. You get to interact with all level of government officials and civilians. It's a lot of fun. But you know what??

OK, I'll admit--I haven't written much on here. I have overused the excuse of being busy but really, it's hard to blog from home and nearly impossible to do from work. So I get on here when I can and do my best to try and amuse at least some of you. I just find it interesting that the less I write the more followers I get. Last time I posted I LOST two followers.

What a great weekend! Technically, it wasn't his first baseball game but it was the first one he'll remember. Last one I took him to was four years ago, this month actually.
