The Costume Has Arrived!!!

My 2008 Halloween Costume has arrived! What it is...is anyone's guess. I do admit that two other people know what I am going as this year - but only because they are going to PumpkinFest 2008 in Iowa with me AND they agreed to do a group costume with me. First impression of the costume is HILARIOUS!!! I can't wait to see how the three of us look together.

Some things that the costumes could be....but probably not.

- The Three Stooges (well...its kind of this one)
- Ketchup, Mustard and Mayo
- Snap, Crackle and Pop
- Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson
- The Nina, The Pinta and The Santa Maria
- Jack Bauer, Tony and Michelle Almeida
- Chris, Meg and Stewie Griffin
- Bananas
- Sean Hannity, Bill Oreilly and Neil Cavuto
- You get the idea...

Guess you'll just have to wait another month for photos. HA!

Woo Hoo!!!

I reformatted my laptop this weekend. Mostly becuase it was running terribly slow and for some reason wouldn't let me type without inserting '\\\\'

And...I join you now from my laptop. Woo Hoo!!!!!

For all of those who remember the beating I gave to the last PC I owned that acted up on me - this is a monumental day for folks needing anger management everywhere!

Woo Hoo!!!!

Finally...

Yeah...my dorky weather work post. As StormReady Program Leader for the NWS in Louisville, I've been working on some street signs for a couple of our StormReady Supporters for about 6 months now. Finally the signs were printed and came in. Of course, both Six Flags and Slugger Field (AAA Reds Stadium) summer seasons are pretty much over, so they will have to wait until next year to display. HA! Next up...a design for the Kentucky State Parks - since we'll be designating 32 of them StormReady Supporters over the next 18 months.

Anyways...I'm really happy they got here finally and am pleased with how they turned out. So here's a picture. Maybe I'll do something fun in my personal life soon to post - so I don't have to result to work related posts. Ugh.

Summer 2008: Major League Baseball Game #4

One Week after my Tribe game my best friend Joe and I travelled to St. Louis (arch photos in another post soon) to take in a Cardinals game thanks to my friend from work Liz securing us her Uncle's season tickets.

It was hot and sunny again...and thanks to Joe's patience, I was able to snap over 100 pictures of the stadium before and during the game. Of course, only about 10-20 came out really well - and a few of those are posted here. I managed to get myself into the club seats in the 7th inning by just walking right past the door guard like I belonged there. Of course, Joe hesitated and didn't get through. So...I watch the last couple of innings from the really really good seats right behind home plate while Joe didn't. I'm such a great friend. :(

More from St Louis soon...including a very interesting tram ride to the top of the Gateway Arch.

Storm Shelter signs everywhere! Busch Stadium is the only StormReady MLB Park in the U.S.

Joe taking in the view...and patiently waiting for me to finish dorkingly taking photos of everything

If someone hits a homer into Big Mac Land (2nd deck left field) during the game, everyone gets a free Big Mac. Someone Did!!!
