Well, the Astros didn’t manage to hold on. Figures. Ah well, it was fun while it lasted. I got to go see game 5 at Minute Maid park - awesome seats and even better company! I found out today that my dad and my little brother were at the game too. If the ‘Stros had made it to the playoffs, I’d have been auctioning off my first born child for tickets. As I was leaving my review today, I was talking sports with my Team Lead and Sup. They were surprised I liked sports and the sup says “A girl that likes all sports? Are you married?” I’m not sure how he’s missed the clues. I guess it’s time to post my picture of Dorothy at my desk again.
Speaking of my dad, I talked to him on my way home today. He is hilarious. He’s complaining about the size of the restroom in his travel trailer. “It’s so small in there, you can’t even relax when you gotta take a grunt, much less reach around to wash in the shower!” I don’t know about you, but unless I’m talking to my dad, there isn’t much discussion about “grunts” or any other bodily functions. Ah, the things that keep us humble. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised here either - I bet my family is the only one who regularly plays dodge ball with cow pies. The key to cow pie fights is to find the ones firm enough to handle, but still moist on the inside, so they splatter when they hit!
Yes, yes, I’m in a straaaange mood.
Next weekend my youngest nephew is turning two *insert awwws here* So, I’m going to Houston, not only to see TG, but also to attend the family dinner. AND - TG got tickets to see the Texans! I’m so stoked! Pro footbal is the ONLY major sport I have not seen in person. I’ve even seen playoff games for the Rockets, Stars and now the Astros, but no pro football. Crazy, since I’ve lived 25 years in one football town or another.
In other news, I think I am a horrible person. See, I go to get on the elevator at work a few days ago and I see this preggers Indian lady (dot-on-the-forehead kind, not the teepee kind [yes, I know that's not PC, but I told you I am horrible, didn't I?]) and I look down at her feet. She is wearing sandals. Her toenails are soooo scary. Long, dirty and just general all-around funkified! And I think to myself:
Devil Voice: Girl needs to do something about that!
Good Girl Voice: Oh, she’s preggers, she cannot reach her toes.
DV: Well, she didn’t wind up preggers on her own. She needs to have that fella help a sister out!
GGV: What if she got knocked up and left? I should just give her $50 so she can get her toes done.
DV: She’d just pocket the money and you’d still have to deal with her skanky toes.
Yeah, I’m such a jerk.
Tie me up and beat me.
Punish me.
Thank you, may I have another.
Oh wait, was that the response you were looking for?

Yeah dawg, I’m with mister_fister … shoulda just offered to do it… if there’s ever a Random Act of Kindness contest that has some solid points attached to it.
Bummer bout the baseball. Last I heard at work they were winning, but apparently that didn’t last.
PS - I am workin on some icons… busy busy week, but it’s Friday tomorrow so I’ll try to get a few done between papers. I got one done on the plane so far, but I’m a strong believer in options lol

Does one *really* get toenails in that bad of a shape from only 9 months of neglect or is there a deeper problem? Perhaps it’s a religious thing and whatnot.
Yarha, Dagger-Toes!

That would be taking “kindness” to a whole new level!
Comment by jaxia — October 22, 2004 @ 6:35 am
Hopefully, I’m not needing kindness points bad enough to require such drastic measures! I *still* shudder when I think about her toes. I’ve even gone so far as to not take my breaks at that time of day so I don’t run into her at the elevator again!
Oh, and no stress about the icons
Where are your pics from your trip!!! I WANNA SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeee
Comment by jaxia — October 22, 2004 @ 6:37 am
Hehe, thanks
Your team will make it before mine does
*sigh*
I was going to wear my shirt today, but it was too wrinkled and I didn’t have time to iron. I bet the people selling Boston gear are happy - I have never seen so many Boston hats outside of…well, Boston.
Oh, and don’t even think of buying a red shirt. They don’t exist in stores anymore.

It could be. I mean, the French don’t bathe, right? Maybe it is cultural. I dunno but it’s still scary.
Comment by jaxia — October 22, 2004 @ 6:39 am
Anything for you!
Comment by jaxia — October 22, 2004 @ 6:40 am
