help me out here

Been a little while since my last blog. Owe some people some serious catch-up. Not gonna happen tonight though. This weekend maybe? I'm really only here to ask one random question:

What is it about me, Mavericks games, and long-lost boys? I mean, seriously.

looking for a good trade

Lots of trading going on lately. Decided to make a few comments re: same.

Roy Williams (ex-Longhorn RW, not to be confused with ex-Sooner RW) will be joining the Cowboys mid-season in exchange for some serious draft pick spots that will go to the Lions. Not sure how I'm feeling about this. I'll let you know in a few weeks.

Rumors abound about the possibility of Tony Gonzalez finally leaving the Chiefs. But Tony G not going anywhere it turns out. Which is really good because I wouldn't know what to do with my #88 jersey if he left us:)

Exchanged the boy (previously known as "grown-up guy") for a bird. A parakeet actually. Story to follow.

it's just too much

It's football season. College. NFL. Football, people.

Also can't overlook the NBA starting their preseason this week.

NA NHL opens tonight.

And the MLB playoffs are underway.

So, my question is this: Who the hell is Kimbo and why are they wasting so much precious ESPN time on him?

Anyone? Anyone?

the latest

Myla, Ripley, and Jacelynn

bring on the candles

I've been 30 for almost a whole year now. And it's been one hell of a year. Didn't get off to the greatest start. In fact, that first week was maybe the worst I've lived thus far. But starting in January and increasing exponentially month by month, it's turned out pretty freakin' amazing. That doesn't mean, however, that I still don't occasionally feel the sting of being in my 30s. And as 31 gets closer, the sting seems to come a little more frequently. I just got off the phone with BFF Natalie and she told me a few things that made me feel completely comfortable with where I am in my life.
  1. A few early twenty somethings I met a year ago on a visit to Asheville still remember me and speak of me with fondness. Apparently I'm "the cutest girl ever." So keen is their appreciation for me that on Friday night while looking at a framed pic of me and Nat they begged her to call me. It was 3 am.
  2. Natalie blocked their effort, gave them the big veto, stating "we don't do the drunk dial anymore." While we acknowledged that isn't completely true, I pointed out that it does happen much less often and usually a bit earlier in the evening. And we're both totally ok with that!

In two weeks Buggie and I are planning a rendezvous in New Orleans to celebrate her 30th. And I'm thinking that it's gonna be good. Very, very good:)

good one amy

Sometimes I just wanna kick myself in the ass. Since I haven't - as of yet - figured out a feasible way to do that I'll just make do with an internal verbal lashing. Trust me, it'll be good.

KICKBALL!

Tuesday night we had our first kickball game of the fall season. We lost. Kinda of horribly, actually. But free beer at our sponsoring pub post-game made the loss a little easier! I'm thinking next week is our week:) Come out and show your support if you're in the area - at the very least you can have a good laugh over our sweatbands! Frequent updates to follow . . .
