*rubs eyes*

More coffee. Stat.

For the second day in a row, I'm up at the ass-crack of dawn in order to prepare for what is sure to be another craptastic morning chock full of unreasonable clients, annoyed judges, and more places to be than one person can possibly manage at once. Do. Not. Want. Can this week be over now please? *begs*

And in other unpleasantness this week, the D'backs managed a complete meltdown in the last two games of the series against the Rockies, our ace pitcher is missing his next start due to shoulder stiffness, and after Opening Day the offensive game has seemed as stale as it did last season. Please, boys, do not be breaking my heart so early in the season! *cries*

But, in happy-making baseball news, Luis Gonzalez was at the ballpark yesterday and is apparently in talks with the front office to be able to retire as a D'back and then join the organization. We ♥ Gonzo!

And apropos of nothing at all, it cracks me up every time I see that pirates have made another CNN headline! I'm sure it's a very serious problem and not really funny at all in actuality, but every time I see another "pirate" headline I can't help but to hum "It's a Pirate's Life for Me" and get an undeniable urge for more rum! *laughs*

Ok. I can't really put this crappy day off any longer. Off to the trenches. Hope y'all are having a good one!

Sometimes it's a good thing when your expectations aren't met.

wendy sent me some surprise!happy day thoughts this morning, and I think they worked, because today turned out much more pleasant than I was expecting. The craptastic morning in court that I was anticipating was certainly busy but went much smoother than I had thought it would.

Then I indulged in a MUCH needed nap this afternoon, and I felt about 200% less crabby after ward. Yay for sleep! Plus, my back which has been a ball of painful spasms all week, has felt really good today. Yay for painlessness!

I also received a whole bunch of books that I recently ordered from Amazon, including the first two books of the King Raven Trilogy. New books make me happy!!! \o/

I spent the afternoon getting quite a bit of work done, while I enjoyed the free MLB Extra Innings baseball coverage that's gracing my t.v. this week. I got to watch the Rangers take the Indians, and there was just SO MUCH PRETTY involved in that baseball game! Ian Kinsler was on fire, man. And, Grady mustered the power of the dimples for a very nice two run homer in the 3rd. Josh was HOT as only Josh can be. And, while Salty wasn't playing, he was lookin' mighty fine just sitting in the dugout! *g* And, proving why I could never buy the Extra Innings subscription and still expect to have any sort of life that wasn't watching baseball, I also watched the Padres pull off a nice win over the Dodgers. *laughs* Man, if I had all this baseball on my screen all the time, I'd never get anything done!

Speaking of baseball, as we do 'round these parts, I'm taking Rianna to her first game of the season tomorrow night. It'll be a family night at the ballpark, with me, my brother, my mom, Rianna and even Rhyan, who is sure to terrorize anyone sitting near us! *laughs*

And since there will be more baseball tomorrow, I thought ( I should post my pictures from the Home Opener )
