Cabana Boy
Just some random thoughts and information for today.
#1 – Baseball season ended in frustration on so many levels. I’ll explain more in future posts but I’ll let you in on the highlights. Mr T and I were talked into coaching a Fall Ball team. Then we weren’t going to do it. Then we had a team with a roster and now we don’t. Any questions? Yes? Well you’ll have to take a number and wait until until I post about it. Do you feel my frustration here people?
Ugh
#2 - I hate my cable company with a passion. Our interent cuts out when ever it damn well pleases which causes us to lose our wireless connections. We have 5 phones, my laptop, 2 netbooks, my smart TV, our home theatre system, the Wii and two PS3′s all connected to our wireless internet. Can’t we all just get along? Aside from that we have two HDTV DVR’s that are constantly fucked up. They freeze, lose volume, cut out halfway through a recording, and sometimes won’t even let us change channels. I know that porn doesn’t have a plot but for crying out loud can someone please tell me if the cabana boy said yes? We have had our cable company out here a million times and nothing ever changes. $250 a month for shotty internet (but it’s wicked fucking fast when it’s working), a fax line, and the ability to watch half of everything I’d like to see (that’s when it isn’t frozen).
#3 – My in-laws are moving to Las Vegas to be close to us. While most people may be dreading such a thing, I am actually quite excited! I love my in-laws and am excited that they are finally able to do this. They will be out here the end of the month to look for a house. I am only dreading the work that it is going to take to get them moved here. There is no one that will help but us.
Ugh
#4 – I will be meeting my very first blogging friend shortly. Miss Fnkybee and her hubby are making the trip here soon and we have arranged to get together and party it up on the 27th of this month. Mr T and I are excited! There will be lots of music and alcohol so it should make for a great night. I promise to share with you all as soon as I regain consciousness.
#5 – I recently (almost two moths ago) decided it was time to go to the gym and work out. What prompted this great idea? My big fat ass did. I went the first week and felt great. I am on restricted physical activity so I had to be careful but did just fine. Then I talked the kids into doing Zumba with me. the gym offers a beginning Zumba class. Unfortunately that day there was a sub filling in for the instructor and she was unaware it was a beginner’s class until we were all dying. Needless to say, I had fun but got my ass kicked. A couple days later I had some medical issues and had to take a few days off. Then other things came up and then I threw my back out during..well nevermind. Anyways, I always start an exercise plan and never EVER see it through. That makes me sad. I must do something about this. I wish I had a workout partner.
#6 – I’m on Google + now. It’s pretty cool I guess. I like some of the features it has that Facebook doesn’t offer. I’ve never really been a fan of Facebook though, for many reasons. So maybe I’m just biased and you shouldn’t listen to me. If you’d like to check it out it’s by invite only. If you need an invite, send me an email and I’ll send you one. I set up a Skype account a while ago but still haven’t used it. Eventually I’ll get drunk enough to. I’ve considered deleting my personal Facebook account at least once a day since I created it. One day soon I will. Maybe while I’m drunk and talking to one of you on Skype I will. We all need to have something to look forward to people.
#7 – There is something wrong with my right ear. First you should know that I have chronic sinus disease and the entire sinus cavity on the right side of my head has 75% obstruction. The surgery they want to do is too risky with all the other medical issues I have so they can’t do it. I have sinus pain and pressure 90% of the time. It sucks. Anyways, Last Thursday morning I woke up and it sounded like my right ear was plugged. Didn’t feel that way just couldn’t hear anything out of it. Sounds like everything is under water. I have 80% hearing loss in my left ear already (completely unrelated) so I’m really screwed. I find myself watching lips on the TV and when the kids are talking to me. I hear pressure changes in the house so when the air conditioner kicks on in the house it drowns out the noise I could hear. It’s kind of a strange feeling considering I normally can’t hear the A/C at all. I’ve recently considered a sinus issue, since it’s all connected, because I refuse to consider the thought that a spider crawled into my ear in the middle of the night and is chomping on my brain. I don’t know what it is and it’s not painful, just strange. Maybe it’s karma. I’ve said too many times that I was sick of listening to everyone’s shit so now I’m going deaf. That’s fine…Bring it on!
A key to kids baseball or softball is #1 Do not overthrow for a play at the plate. Matter of fact let the throw come to the catcher on one bounce so he/she can be able to make the play. #2 Eliminate that overthrow to first base. Practice to it’s firmly imprinted and automatic. Those 2 defensive areas should increase your wins by 20% right there !
1. Baseball for kids should not be so complicated, that is worse than MLB issues.
seems to be fluid in the ear which is never pleasant.
2. Cable companies sit around and secretly laugh *muahahahaha* that we all continue to shell out consider amounts of money and have no choice no matter the service or lack thereof.
3. and 4. Both are super awesome!!!!
5. As a workout-aholic if you are not self motivated you need a trainer first, then a partner. The trainer will get to to a point where you WANT to workout, the partner will then be there for fun and encouragement in my opinion.
6. Me too! I will add you to my circle
7.
You and FnkyBee are going to have so much fun.
Ugh, coaching. Been there, done that….ain’t goin’ back. Good luck. But I know you’ll probably be the best coached those kids ever had!
Oh, can’t wait to hear the details of Fnkbee’s visit!!
Get the ear looked at!!! Don’t mess with your hearing!!
You are one busy girl!!
You made me tired!!
Seriously … I need a nap!
I need one too, but that might have something to do with the fact it is one passed midnight. Not sure.
You have a lot going on here my friend. Hopefully, there will be a moment where it all falls in place and you can actually sit back and enjoy your life running smoothly. Althought, that might take a whie….
1. I hate the back and forth bull crap!
It might take days to recoup from that night! I’m ready, lets do this!
I kid. That stinks!!!
2. I feel your pain. Ours is comcast and it is the DEVIL! I pay way to much a month for bullshit interruptions that are way too frequent.
3. Yay!!!
4. I’m so excited I’m going to poop my pants. Not really but that is how excited I am.
5. I will be your workout partner if that is possible from over here. I need to do something!
6. God I HATE facebook. I was just on there and wanted to stab my screen from the stupidity that people think is necessary to post. I also question how these people function on a daily basis. I’m so close to deleting the whole damn account but for starters I just cleaned house in the friends department a big.
7. Are you sure there isn’t a wiener in your ear?
That sounds exciting about your inl;aws moving closer. I would love for mine to do the same. If I were there I would help out, and not in a “I’m here and your there so I’m going to say this to make you feel better” way.
You and Fnkybee are going to do some major party damage. I’m going to keep an eye on the news and see if you guys are on TV.
sooooo WHERE IS MY CABANA BOY! need a cocktail
I have no idea where the invite you sent me to Google + went! Tabarnac! Also, I’m on Skype – so we’ll have to talk! Also, I have sinus shit too so I feel your pain – however you’re in worse shape then I am
